Yeah some of them. I have some of the early ones on tape. I didnt have a CD rewriter in those days more the pity. I used to borrow CD's and tape them to listen in the car. However after I wrote that car off I rarely listen to tapes now as the family car only has a CD player.

Someone uploaded them for me last year sometime. There's some absolutely fantastic stuff on their.

That might be the only song I have ever listened to that has actually impressed you!

On the contrary, spion, I think you have the most eclectic and interesting taste on this site. Everyone else (myself included) just tends to listen to guitar bands and won't listen to music as much based around image as the actual music.

You clearly just listen to music because you enjoy it, regardless of its image or faux ideas of "manufactured music" not being real music and daft ideas that musicians have to play or write their own music. I respect that.

Wasn't expecting that, cheers mate :023:

Does that ruin my chances of getting your CotY vote as well?!
 
Tried to rank all 106 songs in the complete Smiths collection (remastered), from best to worst. Realised there's no chance in hell I could do that. I've listened to them so much I've lost all sorts of objectivity. It'd be easier to make a ranking of one's children.

When you're thinking "that Golden Lights isn't all bad" you know it's time to call it a day.

I tried to do that a while back with my Stephin Merritt songs. I did actually come up with a list, but then I realised next time I listened to some more, that there were other songs which I loved just as much and in the end decided there were too many loved and I just scrapped the idea.

Now I just have a playlist of my current favourites to listen to on shuffle when I'm in the gym.
 
I've tried that too, with Bruce Springsteen.

Like you both suggest - an impossible task!
 
Yeah, you do the list and then think, "how can this song be that low?" and "how can this song be that low?" etc. then you listen to another song and think "I forgot how good this one was, how can I have put it so low?" etc. etc. Then just give up.

Easy-listening Norwegian indie pop, relevant because: 1, I read Philosophy at university and 2, I will spend this Christmas alone. I think I will have a TV dinner with Wittgenstein on Christmas Day just for the sake of it.

:038: Really enjoyed that, thanks, Swede.

Ever listened to Acid House Kings as well? They are a similarly chilled out easy-listeniing Swedish indie pop band, they're great.

Then there's Jens Lekman of course, who is one of my favourite artists ever. <3

I love Jens, I haven't heard Acid House Kings but will put them on my ever-growing list of "music that I will try to find the time to listen to".

I think you would like Herr Nilsson, another Norwegian indie-pop band. Search for Long Live Herr Nilsson on Spotify, that's their second album.
