The Smiths

The most depressing musical group to ever walk the face of the earth.

Oddly enough, there a a couple of their tunes that are decent...just don't tell anyone I said so. :wink:

Heh. Well, I'll be honest and say that my love of them has everything to do with Johnny Marr and nothing to do with Morrissey. Since I never paid attention to the lyrics or singing, they never interfered with my appreciation. I just like the sound of a Rickenbacker. :wink:

Can't list them all, I will just list the one I am listening to more at the moment.

Isn't that like, the point to their music though? If music is supposed to make you feel emotion, and depression is an emotion, then boom, you're done.

Listen to them too much and you will be done...if you get my drift. :frog:

EDIT:With all this talk of Morrissey and The Smiths, it seems that Jeffredo is curiously absent here.

Pink Floyd (even Gilmour's Floyd)

That's the best Floyd :tongue:

High Hopes, On the turning away, Sorrow are some of Floyds best tracks imo. The guitar solos in these songs are some of the best and I prefer Gilmours vocals for the most part compared to Waters

Edit:

I think I can guess your favourite Floyd based upon your username

BAH!!!

Barrett spent a few years with them, and Waters and company spent the next 20 years mining the talent he wasn't able to continue producing. Make no mistake, Floyd did some amazing work post Barrett, but in Quite a few pieces of their work, I still hear Barrett's influence even though he's been http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoI1SsZec7M

I agree they produced some amazing work over the 20 or so years after Barrett. There is some real genius stuff after the first 2 albums which I find a bit.... random for lack of a better word. This is just a bit to strange for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3QFxckeApQ&feature=related

I knew you'd link to that! It is one of the, er... odder things that early Floyd did. Most of which was quite odd anyway.

I really do like a lot of Gilmour's Floyd, and not so much of Syd's. My album preference probably goes something like this:
1. Meddle
2. Atom Heart Mother
3. Division Bell
4. Animals
5. Wish You Were Here
etc.

But I did see Waters' masterpiece on TV the other day (The Wall) and it made me really appreciate the album.

Agreed.

Aw man, I saw these guys 4 years ago knowing nothing whatsoever about the band, and it was seriously one of the best gigs I've ever been to in my life. Been meaning to check out their CDs ever since...

I've heard they're a crazy live band. Their most recent album was brilliant.
