Guess this could be a long shot, but has anybody else got Sigur Ros' latest offering 'Valtari' and, if so, what do they make of it?

I like it after a couple of listens, and like the new direction. A good album, but I still prefer Ágætis Byrjun & () which both blew me away on first listen.

I'm really enjoying the new Saint Etienne album, Words And Music - their best in quite a while, along with the new Best Coast album, The Only Place, which is better than I expected it to be.

Hi Peeps.

Been listening to a bit of punk in the last few days, but was wondering if posters could, in effect, suggest me a ounk playlist, as there's bound to be things I don't know and don't think to look for.

Ta in advance.

Many thanks, thus far, All.

No one mentioned The Dead Kennedy's? One of the best punk bands ever to come out of the US.

In that case: Dead Kennedys.

and

The Damned (For their early material)
The Exploited
Anti-Nowhere League (Look up 'Streets Of London' on you-know-where for a cover version that sounds how the lyrics suggest the song SHOULD sound)

No one mentioning The Sex Pistols? Good, keep it up!


Oh, and if you can find their stuff anywhere, look for 'The Chinapple Punx' album "It's good, but it's not right" for punk with a sense of humour.
