Remember Peel playing some of their stuff, wouldn't mind a listen to Dub Sex again, I have an almighty list of bands whose work I am trying to recover, having recently found old Wolfhounds and Brilliant Corners LP's, I love it, music is endless and just keeps us all moving...

I find it sad that bands like Oceansize and Amplifier, or even Elbow, aren't here and yet the fecking Courteeners are. I mean come on...I definitely tick the other section - probs for the Size.

Of those, probably the Smiths though.

I totally forgot about Oceansize. Great band, but they always slip my mind.

Oasis were my favourite band for many years when I was a teenager but of that lot, it has to be The Smiths for me.

Also, in reference to what downwardspiral said about Doves - I have no issue with them, i have the first two albums and liked them a lot at the time but they can be kind of bland. Especially the drumming, it's so lazy it's shocking.
