Just bought White Lies new album today, Ritual.

More of the same I guess, but given White Lies' debut that's no bad thing.

Having had a few listens, the new album sounds like complete dross.

The Streets' new one. Their/his [?] first two albums were brilliant, the last two were bloody awful. This seems to be a combination of both, with some songs sounding like he couldn't be bothered (last album of a 5 album deal and he won't be doing another) a few decent songs and one or two really really good ones (Trust Me and Lock the Locks).

Times Of Grace - Hymns of a Broken Man. Adam D from Killswitch Engage along with Jesse Leach (the original singer on Alive Or Just Breathing). Really good album, predictably it is very reminiscent of Alive... in places but with a fair few off piste surprises thrown into the mix.

Well there's been quite a lot of good music since then. Suggest you start with some Zeppelin and Sabbath, then go from there.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - The essential Lynyrd Skynyrd

Cracking bit of rock music. Particularly this track - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6q9nBusrq8

Crap quality on the Youtube link but the whole album is on Spotify if you fancy a listen

It has to be Teusdays Gone for me.

Tron Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk...great for training on the bike.

Interpol by ...erm Interpol. Not their finest hour tbh, it grows on you though.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Tao of the Dead

Impressed with this. A mix of rock and old school prog, and a good flowing album. They were always a bit too lo-fi and art rock for me before but this is great!

I must have seen them live 50 times, and I still wouldn't be able to recognise any of their songs.

They were the band that followed us around from about 1999 to 2005 at almost every gig we went to. We used to breathe a sigh of relief when tickets for gigs turned out without their name as a supporting act on. But inevitably, they would be added to the bill at the last minute.

Other bands we had brief acquaintances with - like NoJahoda, Rival Schools, The Donnas, British Sea Power - but none had the relentless sticking power of Trail of Dead.

No-one famous. We were unofficial groupies for a number of different bands, mainly Symposium, Reef and Snug. We had a friend who wrote for Kerrang! and NME, and threw after-gig parties quite often at his place near the Astoria, then we got a place near the Joiners in Southampton and carried on the tradition.

We were avid gig-goers rather than musicians, really.
