If you like epic goofy videogame-ish inspired-like metal, look into Six Magics. They're quite the good Power Metal.  |

Cheers, Tris. Yeah, been watching some of the ARIAS, but got shitty at Delta and Guy....
I like Eskimo Joe, I bought their Girl album, but haven't heard their stuff since...
It's like I've missed the last two years of music, really... |

Yeah Living End did rock...Big Day Out, Melbourne, 1999. That was awesome. Save the Day & Bloody Mary were wicked too...actually, that whole album is.
Same with Jebediah...first album is immortal but their new stuff has been pretty much toiletry.
Taryn, just get Eskimo Joe's newest album. Watch them on the Arias tonight if you need convincing. From the Sea is great from the new one, and if you want an old song look no further than Sweater.

Yeah, I have some of the Living End's stuff. I like their old stuff better than their new stuff, but it's all pretty samey after a while with them anyways.
My favorite stuff is still their original Prisoner of Society / Second Solution EP
And Living End is one of the few late 90's Aussie bands I didn't see live back in the day...
Hell Yeah, the Living End rocks.. erm. rockED. Their latest CD wasnt so impressive. Back in the day, every song they wrote had some crazy fuckin solo's for drums, bass, and guitar.. their riffs were also way higher class
Now, they seem to sort of try and get by on 3 power chords, and it doesnt have the same charm.
My favorite songs by them are So Lonely, Witch Doctor, Monday, Living In Sin, Strange, They Have, West End Riot, Trace of Doubt, and Prisoner of Society.
Also, they've done some bitchin' covers.
Girls on Film(Duran Duran), I Get a Kick out of You, The train Kept a Rollin, Saturday Night 1015(The Cure), Out of this Game, and Tainted Love (Cell). |

I like The Streets, I remember their "Original Pirate Material" album in 2002 as well. My favorite song is "Too Much Brandy" 
I've never really known what to classify The Streets as, although I guess "Hip Hop", just pretty unique in that genre.... Somebody once suggested "Brit-Hop"
Aussie Hip Hop is interesting too, for that matter, although I'm not a huge fan of a lot of it -- my brother absolutely loves it though -- I gotta admit I find the Hilltop Hoods "Nosebleed Section" kinda catchy.... |

what's funny about this, is that I have heard all of 1 suburban legends song, and 0 Steve Ferris songs.
and what else is funny, and I apologize Chibi for interuppting your perfectly fine thread, is that in two threads you have yet to actually give a reason as to why I cannot like Catch 22, other than them being "pop-ska."
The term pop-ska is like an oxymoron, because ska isn't popular in the least bit.
Whatever, Mr-I'm-A-Ska-Leetest. You can make false claims without backing them up, and I'll just go ahead ignoring you until I feel the urge to punch someone, like now, and at which point I'll reply to your useless posts.
Anyways, a different band I'd reccommend is The Streets. I'm not sure if you'd label it hip-hop, or rap, but that's what I call it. But believe me, it's not like "yo man I was walkin wit mah gat blast caps" type rap.

No, if you combine generic pop punk with generic pop ska, you get Catch22.
nope. Although, as I stated before I don't really value your opinion.
whatever, poseur pop-ska fanboy. go buy anotehr Save Ferris album. go jerk off thinking about Suburban Legends. Seriously tho, people like you are why third wave ruined ska.
THANKS ALOT JERK. |

I greatly recommend Fullmetal alchemist's soundtrack.
Lots of songs, and most of them are good. They just forgot to include the waltz 
Another album I think you might enjoy is Rin's Jikuu.
If you've watched any episode from Samurai 7 and listened to the outro, you'll know what their work is like. They basically mix modern music with traditional Japanese instruments.
If you enjoy game music, Star Ocean 3 has some very nice pieces to it  |

Listen to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Check out the album Murder Ballads.
Download the song "Stagger Lee"... Heh heh. |

Smoking Popes: Pretty good pop-punk, but the singer sings like a lounge singer. Good luck trying to find their stuff, though... I think most of their post-"Born to Quit" material's out of print. (The lead singer went and got hisself saved, breaking up the band.)
Living End: They usedta be named after a Stray Cats song, nahmean youhear.
Sounds: Obvious Blondie influences, but "Seven Days A Week" is three minutes of creamy goodness. Also "Living in America", "Reggie", "Dance With Me", "Mine for Life" (wait, that's half the album).
Paris Texas - "Bombs Away"... also that damn good.
Let me also second the following recommendations.
* XTC
* Electric Six
* Killers
* Gang of Four |

Feeder - Sweet 16 & Just a Day
- Some Indie-type pop, you may have heard of these too, one's pretty old (It's the track that introduced me to Feeder, it's on the Gran Turismo-UK Soundtrack) and the other is newer.
Their other older song on GT, Shade, is a great song too.
My music taste is not as accessed as these guys, but you should try out Orbital and Leftfield, two wonderful electronic-based groups. Also try David Gray- he's a great singer with some beautiful songs. The aforementioned Streets is good, I wouldnt say he was hip-hop, more garage based. A very good grime artist is Dizzie Rascal, he isnt as well known in America but he has a lot more talent than most American hip-hop atrists of his age and experience.

Taryn - My fave "The Thrills" Song is "Santa Cruz", although "So much for the City" is nice, as is "Whatever happened to Corey Haim?"
More suggestions,
William Orbit - Adagio for Strings
- As found on the "Kevin and Perry"'s sountrack, this is a nice bit of Euphoric Trance based on that track by "Barber"
Catherine Hatherley - Summer
- A first solo outing from the attractive one from Ash, it's not to bad, if a little different
Ash - Orpheus & Meltdown
- Two songs from their latest album. Used to great effect on the "SHaun of the Dead" soundtrack may I add, plus I LOVE Ash
Feeder - Sweet 16 & Just a Day
- Some Indie-type pop, you may have heard of these too, one's pretty old (It's the track that introduced me to Feeder, it's on the Gran Turismo-UK Soundtrack) and the other is newer.
Jurgen Vries feat. Cmc - The Opera Song
- A Trance song? With Charlotte Church in it? Yep, but it's catchy as hell
Catatonia - Don't need the Sunshine & Road Rage
- How could I not have suggested them before. My Fave band OF ALL TIME. Fact. One's an album track, I like as it's mellow, and the second one is one of their most famous singles.
Cerys Mathews - Weightless Again, Chardonnay and Louisianna
- Compare these songs with the band above - it's the same singer, but this is what Rehab does to you, still, I LOVE Cerys' new direction. It's very Bluegrassy so it may not be to your taste though |

...Except that XIII is nowhere near the "suck" category. AND BESIDES, it has Meshuggah's Jens Kidman on "The Dream Is Over". You can't get much more awesome than that, Jens and J-mann bouncing off each other. Shame that J-mann's now left the band. |
