Why do we need another Dylan anyway?

I`ll 2nd or 3rd or 4th Jack White.

As for Conner Obesrt

Actually my favourite singer songwriter of the past 5 years is a woman , Martina Topley Bird

We don't need another Dylan, but I believe most songwriters today smile and nod when they are told what to do. Now someone like Jack White, who idolizes Dylan in many ways, won't let the record company tell him who he is or what he should be.

After the release of Elephant, one of the heaviest rock albums of '04, Jack came back to the drawing board with his piano, a mandolin, a marimba, and acoustic guitar. Alot of people said, "This isn't the White Stripes!" But to hell with those people, who are you to say that the Stripes are simply a 'garage rock duo'.

Dylan was HATED when he backed himself with a band and started playing electric guitar. He got BOOED. He didn't care, it was what he wanted to do, even though everyone else told him to go back to his acoustic guitar.

There are much better (and heavier, I don't even know how you could say they are the least bit hard rock) artists out now than the White Stripes, and Dylan is as overhyped now as he was back then. His son makes better music than he does. As for the White Stripes, there is nothing good about playing a single riff or two over and over with simple drum beats and spastic singing laid over it.

You might as well have posted "I know nothing at all about the White Stripes", because that's what your post says to anyone who listens to their music.

Elephant is a HARD rock record. Listen to 7NA, listen to Ball & Biscuit, Hardest Button To Button, Black Math, Little Acorns, Girl You Have No Faith In Medicine.

Why don't you try listening to a band before you say they suck for simplicity. Ignorance.

Because we want someone who is umcompramising, but has to be paid attention to.

Urban, Where can I find something by her?

Misfits, if you listen to the right songs, you'll know why he's immoratal

Fenix, could you explain that, all I can think is "Herbavores ate well cause their food did never run"

which is 100% correct if you think about it...
some of my other fave lines:

Tipsy fuddled boozy groggy elevated, Prime did edit her
Hellborn elfchild roadhog mountain fortune hunter, Man beheaded her..

The sirens sang their songs for me, They dance above me as I sink
I see them through a crystal haze, And hear them bouncing round the room..

I'd like to gather all your friends and squish them all into a small
swimming pool so I can weigh them, what do ya say?...

I'm down and I will drag you along and around,Until you burst into song and unwind, And leave your new life behind for a while....

then theres the whole Gamehenge story, just a brilliant lyricist if you ask me.

She`s only done one album so far , Quixotic , came out in 2003

She`s worked with Tricky & David Holmes too

TheBig3 · 01-10-2006, 11:56 AM

Ok I found the songs on "angels with dirty faces", what should I download?

Thats one of the songs she did on Tricky`s album , I`ve not heard that in years I remember the name , can`t for the life of me remember how it goes.

For her own stuff Soul Food , Need One , Too Tough To Die & Anything would be a good start

I can't find her own stuff though, they don't allow transatlantic iTuning. It sucks. I don't suppose you have some message service by which we could swap files?

And to u, SabrinaMahrah (or whatever) Ill go check them out now, you go get an easily indentifable name or avatar.
