I could go as far as saying I actually strongly dislike Battle For The Sun, I just don't 'get it' at all, and its scary because I really don't see what direction Placebo could take after this. Maybe they'll disband, hopefully not though

I remember the first time I heard Narcoleptic. It was pretty crazy, I'd never felt so moved by a song before and I'd certainly never connected to a band like Placebo before. It was a great feeling and they still float my boat to this day.
Hey, you know I made a Placebo comp in the Beginner's Guide thread, you should check it out and tell me what you think of it.

I never got into Placebo. I dig a couple tracks like Infra-Red and The Bitter End, but the band never really clicked

Uh, it's not a bad playlist. But I wouldn't put a single song on from the new album, I just don't think it emphasises the true talent at all. In fairness, my list would probably be completely different but that's because I'm a total fanboy.

Although I Know is a very good choice <3

Battle for the Sun's a good track though

I wouldn't say it was good by any stretch, it's catchy sure but in terms of a good song this doesn't cut it. It pains me to say that.

I would just go straight for Without You I'm Nothing. The song of the same name is truly epic...David Bowie thinks so as well.

Yes yes yes x100000. This is most definitely one of their best ever songs, when he's chiming in with his guitar and you can hear the grating and he just says "..without you I'm nothing".. man, gets me every time.

I was eight years old in 1985, so I grew up in the MTV generation. I listened to a lot of different music growing up, but it wasn't till I heard Pink Floyd that I really took notice of music and its possibilities.
