NON POKER Blondite favourite music

[Maroon]

Ok, I'll take this opportunity to admit I have let the iPod/download era pass me by.  Can someone bring me up to speed or point me to a web site that explains it all in idiot's simplicity?

Do you pay for downloads?  If not is it legal?  If not likelyhood of being nicked.  Best sites etc.

Hi maroon... you can pay for music on the net at ligimitate places such as windows media online or  http://www.apple.com/itunes.

There are a number of places you can download music free of charge however I won't list them as i'm not sure what the forums stand point is.

As for an ipod you can transfer any music you have on your computer system to it, untill it is full.
You can transfer your cd's to it or other peoples and this is completely legal (no one could prove it was someone else's cd's. The cds are encripted in a particular way so anyone checking would know that the music is from one.

Personally it would be very bad luck at present to be caught downloading illegally, it is up to you whether you risk it. I would say it is much cheaper though.

Windows media charges around 79p a song. Imagining you want 200 albums and each contain 10 songs that is more than 1500 pound.. you could pay nothing...

Oh Adam, whitesnake? you let yourself down there mate.
Though i was into deep purple and rainbow for a while so whitesnake would be crap to me.

Loved Iron Maiden, actually had every album/single they ever made until about '88 then just went off 'em, IMHO their very best stuff was with Paul D'ianno (sp?), killers and iron maiden lp's.
Just as a little known fact if you have these (vinyl) albums and they don't have "fame" in the top right hand corner they're worth a fortune!! as is my run to the hills picture disc

Overall musically i have just about everything and anything, was into punk from the stranglers (before they went pop) to chaos uk and the dead kennedys, doa, stiff little fingers, then skinhead stuff like cock sparrer and sham69 and early skrewdriver.
The jam (weller is a true god), any ska from the original stuff to bad manners.
Dylan, charlie daniels band (i know) madonna (saw her at wembley) smiths, the cure, mondays, inspiral carpets (best intro ever was their track "saturn 5")..........i could go on and on.
Ian

BTW loved blur, much better than oasis

BTW loved blur, much better than oasis

Weller-Agree completely.
Blur.. Oasis are far the better band in my oppinion.. best gig i've ever been to was knebworth, not robbie. Oasis.

[Rachman]

For those who like their music heavy, Trivium are an exceptional band.

For those who like their music mellow, Tom McRae is damned good.


And I saw Maiden at Donington. They were absolutely spectacular.

[stoo]

Saw maiden at donnington too... exceptional.

Trivium are playing Rock City just in case you didn't know.

[Longy]

Very interesting didn't pick you lot for the heavier stuff. I am typical think of lad my age(25), i was a britpop child and have never really left. Massive oasis fan in my time (growing tired of them now), pulp, blur etc. Favourite bands now are probably Stone Roses and Joy Division / New Order. Think there has been some good stuff recently Kaiser Chiefs, Killers and particularly good album by bloc party IMO. Also liking the Joy Division esque stuff like Interpol and the new Editors album.

[Ironside]

dont forget musical youth guys

now pass the douche on the left hand side

[stoo]

Kasier cheifs are good as well I agree. Clever with the fact that every song on there album is catchy.
Tried to get tickets to see them at leeds town hall in october.. had no luck. Bit dissapointed.

[AdamM]

If Trivium are the band I'm thinking of the vocals are too shouty (went off that years ago) but the guitarist were spectacular.

I saw Maiden at Donington in 1988 and 2004 and '88 was WAY better. down hill when Bruce left and never got it back.

Whitesnake. Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody are two of the greatest british guitarists of their generation (and I include blackmore and Page)

at gun point I'd pick Blur over Oasis.

currently listening to;
Green Day
Blink 182
Allister
Reel Big Fish
ACDC
Metallica
Less Than Jake

[snoopy1239]

Bob Dylan's my all time fave. There's no better lyricist in my eyes.

[AdamM]

pff

[stoo]

argh blur over oasis again.. well everyone for his own I guess.

Anyone heard Kasabian.. guessing no one in to that sort of music.. but there my fave at the moment.. along with The Music

[ThePower]

I love the Kasabian album, my brother lent it to me and its soooo good i haven't given it back!
