Heartland

Maybe if i true to the meaning of a word like * obsessions*, my conclusion is turn out veeeery simple.

The Sisters Of Mercy and Mr.Mark Lanegan.

The rest is always changeable........

Do you think I will have trouble in making two things at the same time?, do you have problems with Miss Nick O´Tine being here and in "the other board" at the same time ?.

Just ignore him, he doesn't wear pants and he's known as Judas in his spare time

In answer to t'original question...

My boat is especially floated, in no particular order, by:

Sex Pistols
Bauhaus
Kraftwerk
JAMC (up to the late 90s when it just went horribly wrong)
Nephilim
David Sylvian
Japan
Bark Psychosis
Joy Division
New Order
Talk Talk
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
A-ha (oh yeah)
The Fall (in the right mood)
The...ahem...M*****n
The Beatles
Velvet Underground
Gorecki (honestly not trying to be pretentious here...pls believe me)
Pil (1978-1987, after that they should've ditched the singer)
The Cure

And finally, I find myself championing The Smiths: After just not 'getting' them for nearly 20 years I have finally discovered them...and am very pleased in a Cheshire Cat sort of way for finally managing it! Wahey...

There are more...but I can't remember 'em!

the same words:
only Sisters/Sisterhood, Siouxsie, Joy Division will remain from my list... well, Phillip Boa is something special, too

Aaaaah, Mr Jansen...I DID wonder!! But then I thought, 'nooooo, it couldn't be a reference to HIM, COULD it??'

Wahey!

However, Mr Sylvian's latest work is a bit on the...unlistenable side, sadly...Come back Rain Tree Crow, all is forgiven!!

Anyway, before I get shouted at for being Off Topic...I'll get me coat...

Nah, I wouldn't worry. The Topic was other music

Let me know if you're looking for any live / demo / obscure things. I seem to have quite a few...

Obsession? Don't get me started.....Andrew and Zodiac Mindwarp are my obsessions.

Well I am partial to but not obsessed with:

Peter Murphy
Love and Rockets
The Cult
The Cure
Depeche Mode
Billy Idol
The Smiths
The Clash
Pyschedelic Furs

hmm, bands that I've been known to take a serious interest in would include:
New Model Army
The Smiths/ Some Moz solo stuff
Carter USM
Placebo
Iron Maiden
Max Normal
No Friends Of Harry
Depeche Mode
PWEI
JAMC
and more recently BRMC

None of them have come close to the Sisters though...

So, you two, what was it like in the Eighties?

Oi! I'm younger than you!

I love a lot of different things....but if we're talking "obsession"....then it has to be coil, current'93, joy division, portishead and the velvet underground (+ john cale solo....) and pulp

MrChris wrote:So, you two, what was it like in the Eighties?

Ah, the eighties - great days.

I can remember being heavily into such luminaries as "he-man", "transformers", "thundercats" and a group that I believe has made a recent come-back of dubious merit "star wars figures".

Now that was living.

I can't believe it. No mention of either Birdland or Leather Nun. Unbelievable.

now I also like....
aha
the cure
an pierlé
fields of the neph
bowie
roxy music (first albums with eno...)
john cage
michael nyman
philip glass
miles davis
alexander scriabine
rachmaninoff
aphex twin
eminem
grandmaster flash
the pixies!
wagner
the doors
the sex pistols
pil
led zeppelin
deep purple
a lot of 80's crap
abba
and a lot more.....Ican't mention everything can I?

My most vivid memory would be Robotech

That's at least two mentions of A-ha. If we're talking about bands we USED to be really into, I make three. A-ha, and also the Pet Shop Boys. And even EARLY Depeche Mode. But I was but a mere slip of a lad then, and still at Middle School. Pal Waktaar, what a fine lyricist...and Morten Harket, what a falsetto...and those cheekbones...

Hmmm, reading this message back, I feel a need to reassert my masculinity...I'm going to go and pick up something heavy, and drop it a couple of times.

nono...I'(m still very into aha (not to be taken litterally )
and the pet shop boys too btw...and also forgot, the later talk talk work (y)
