Last week, I went to a Blockbuster Video a few minutes before it closed for the night. One of the workers turned on the store sound system and played a dance remix of "Amazing" by George Michael. The kid was so nice, he downloaded it into my iPod. I had forgotten how catchy this tune is, especially this version, and I'm not even close to tiring of it yet.

Call me a little behind the times, because I don't think they even exist anymore, but a friend just turned me on to Massive Attack, and I LOVE them!  Gotta love that low, hypnotic delivery style -- it's not really singing, per se -- that that one guy has.

I love Massive Attack, especially Mezzanine which got a lot of play on my CD player way back when.  Looking forward to their new album, I hear they're collaborating with Hope Sandoval.

A song I can't get out of my head since I heard it again on the Net. The melody is so catchy and they have so marvellous voices.

Me, too. Unfortunately, I don't know too many people who like this kind of music except for my parents.

I can say I don't care if a tune is in or not to like it. It doesn't disturb me to be considered old fashioned.    Do you like "Earth Wind & Fire" too ?
This is my favourite tune by them.

Of course I do! They are one of my favourite bands.

This is a good song, too, but it is played ad nauseam on the radio over here. However, it doesn't make me dislike it.

One of my favourite songs by them is this one:

It is practically never played anywhere in Hungary!

Oh, Mezzanine is excellent.  And Hope Sandoval did a great collaboration with the Jesus and Mary Chain way back when (which sadly you can't find in any stores these days -- great guitar band!) -- she'd be great with Massive Attack.  And I KNEW that singer on Teardrop was the chick from Cocteau Twins -- I think someone owes me dinner!

Props for bringing up the Jesus and Mary Chain! I listened to Munki a lot in the summer of '98 (I had just graduated from high school and went wild with abandon to celebrate-- ah, memories!).

Hope Sandoval sang on 2 JaMC songs-- "Sometimes Always" and "Perfume". Loved Mazzy Star!

All these youtube links!  It's a shame I can't view them now.

Damn! That kind of singing comes from way down deep in the soul.

Here's 2 of my favorite Romani flamenco acts:



Getting back to the topic of this thread, I can't seem to get Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" out of my head.

What do you think of this band ? Aren't they cute ?   It's a quite catchy song.

They are handsome things, but I'm not wild about the boy-band pop tune.  The guy with the rock-hard abs is hot but annoying.  He's one step away from  Chippendales.

Okay, most annoyingly overplayed yet catchy tune since "Umbrella, ella ella eh eh..."


(M.I.A. - "Paper Planes")
