Briggins hands out shiny golden stars

MrMagpie · 16-02-2008, 05:24 AM

How to get a golden star:

List your top 5 bands all time
Your current top 5 bands
And your current top 5 songs.

Depending on how good I think they are I will give you up to 15 golden stars which you can redeem at your local McDonalds for a Big Mac.

TraceOddity · 16-02-2008, 06:05 AM

Hmmm...that's harder than it sounds, but...

All-time: The Beatles, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, The Smiths, Leonard cohen

(is it ok to pick solo artists as well as bands?)

Current bands: Coldplay, Doves, Travis, Porcupine Tree, Starsailor

Current songs: Doves - Catch The Sun, The Foo FIghters - Times Like These, Porcupine Tree - Collapse The Light Into Earth, Travis - My Eyes, Spacehog - In The ENd

(I don't know what you mean by 'current', though.

ApproximatelyInfinite · 16-02-2008, 06:13 AM

ALL TIME: the beatles, coldplay, radiohead, U2, the strokes.

CURRENTLY: radiohead, coldplay, travis, oasis, jack's mannequin

CURRENT TOP 5 SONGS: motion picture soundtrack (RH), there there (RH), wonderwall (oasis), side (travis), idioteque (RH)

how many gold stars is that, huh, briggs?

i think i'm quite appealing to your kid a-loving side...

TraceOddity · 16-02-2008, 06:51 AM

Wonderwall is just ending! That was kind of cool.

You better hope he likes your choices, Chelesa...otherwise he might EAT you! (There's lots of RH in your post, so you're probably safe.)

Ms Magpie · 16-02-2008, 12:13 PM

all time top 5 bands - Radiohead, Apocalyptica, Siddharta, U2, Sigur Rós
current top 5 bands - Radiohead, Camera Obscura, Goldfrapp, The Smiths, Blackbud
And your current top 5 songs - Planet Telex, The Bends, Some Girls are Bigger than Others, The Trickster, Bodysnatchers

winigwl · 16-02-2008, 03:07 PM

Okay for All-time I don't really listen to any of those bands. But I will give you a gold star for the Beatles because they were so influential to modern music. Not a fan of Genesis, and haven't listened to Peter Gabriel, so no golden stars there. The Smiths, also haevn't really listened to but I do like Johnny Marr, so I'll give you half a star. And one gold star for Leonard Cohen because he is a Canadian legend!

For current bands:
I'll give you two total gold stars. One big shiny one for Travis. Also a half star for Coldplay and Porcupine Tree.

For current songs you get a gold star for Times Like These and My Eyes, two songs I really enjoy.

So you get a grand total of 7 stars!

For all time you get a gold star for the Beatles. Same reason as why I gave one for Tracie. Coldplay will also get you a star since they were influential and I once did enjoy them. Radiohead gets a great big star, and you know why haha. U2 are my second favourite band and I have a tonne of their stuff so another star for U2. The strokes are overrated in my opinion, so no star for them.

Current bands:
You get gold stars for Radiohead, Travis, and Oasis. I won't give you another Coldplay star though because I don't want to hand too many of those out.

Current songs:
4 stars because I love all of those songs, except for Wonderwall because I have heard it far too many times.

So you get a grand total of:11 stars!

heartswarm · 16-02-2008, 04:09 PM

all time:
final fantasy
the killers
xiu xiu
beirut
interpol

current:

All time: Star for Final Fantasy and a star for Interpol.

For current I have only heard Final Fantasy, but since your list is so creative I'm giving you a 4/5.

Current songs: haven't heard any of them, but I'll give you a 3/5 since they look pretty indie.

So you get 9 stars!
