He's not a superstar legend... anymore

i like scott walker but don't listen to him much - i tend to admire his work rather than love it. nb i've only heard his scary dystopic later albums, not the earlier stuffz

i mean it's not just MJB's chops i'm talking about, it's the amount of emotion she conveys - when u hear songs like 'not gon cry', 'i'm going down' or 'be without you', even if it's not your thing you can surely hear why people connect to them emotionally? and that's not even going into how she pretty much invented hip-hop-soul. i'm surprised you don't like her considering you like rufus and chaka khan - what did you think of her version of 'sweet thing' (which was one of the tracks that made MJB's name back in the day)

if you don't love some Janet you are pitiful!

I have never heard 1 janet song that i liked. But it's not like you love anyeverything steve.

Anyway Lex, jeff buckley has an awesome voice that conveys emotion but I bet you don't like him, and I'm not gonna hold that against you.

He hasn't got an awesome voice

I have never heard 1 janet song that i liked

do you like any post-'79 US pop? i mean how could someone like a few Madonna songs but zero Janet ones, for example?

i'm not saying everyone has to like modern US pop - just that if you were to say you did but weren't including Janet in that you'd be crazy. singling Janet and Mary out in this regard just seemed odd (esp. over Whitney and Mariah imo).

Cant stand mariah but i liked some whitney back in the day. Wish she had laid off the ballads though.

I liked TLC, Destinys Child etc

Oh and one of my fave songs ever is No Diggity

I think Neil is getting a kick out of my radio station on last fm

New charts are up, with Kanye at the top

The Lex can rejoin now.

He didn't get top album http://www.last.fm/group/ilXor/charts?charttype=weekly&subtype=album&range=205

And radiohead didnt get top track either http://www.last.fm/group/ilXor/charts?charttype=weekly&subtype=track&range=205
ilx love for radiohead is over?

am indeed enjoying your station, pfunkboy. Currently playing "Krautrock" by Faust!

Any ILXors listen to mainly hip hop? I'm looking to diversify...

how do those charts work? surely it can't be by plays

Yes indeed, if you're talking about charts on user's profiles.

Must stop using the word "indeed".

no i mean for the group. like for example kanye is leading with like 56 or something. that can't be plays...is that 56 members?

I was wondering about that as well. I'm a member of the ILXor group, but I'm not sure my plays get scrobbled to the group charts automatically.

lol nothing in common funnily enough

Why do ilxors listen to Radiohead so consistently?

most of them have pretty bad taste (the rest of the chart backs that up)

Just to be clear, I'm not asking why so many ilxors listen to Radiohead, I'm asking why they listen to the 'head on such a consistent basis. It's not like they've just released a new album or anything.

oh i'm asking why they listen to radiohead at all. if nothing else surely you've got to be in rather a bleak place to do that regularly? i don't like to think of people being unhappy.

It may have something to do with the amount of live bootlegs around. I know i tend to listen to bootlegs of bands who i have been intoa long time (yes Radiohead are one such example, though i havent played them in a while)

i don't listen to Radiohead enough.

Btw have a look at the charts going back to 2006 http://www.last.fm/group/ilXor/charts . Radiohead werent always top.
The Knife Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo and The Rapture were very popular

wazzap. I see my page got posted above but this is me:
http://www.last.fm/user/mcgarnickle

Belle & Sebastian seem more the consistently popular band on ILX.

btw if ilxors just queue up a playlist on shuffle chances are it will play 1 song by any of these popular acts. It only needs 1 play to get on the ilx chart. It doesn't mean people are listening to radiohead all the time, it might just be 1 track a week.

shut up lex.

^^^this, but nicer

Hey Alan that was me. Because we have a super rating

Your musical compatibility with mcgarnickle is Super

Music you have in common includes Harvey Milk, Autechre, Circle, Steely Dan and Neurosis.

Your musical compatibility with mcgarnickle is Very Low

Music you have in common includes Steely Dan, My Bloody Valentine, The Velvet Underground, Talking Heads and Deerhunter

:(

right on. it seems like I get super ratings with folks that listen to steely dan and metal. makes sense.

Kevin needs to listen to more doom/drone/arty farty metal to get super with us.

and to get not-so-super with 99% of the rest of the world.

Would you want to be super with 99% of the world?

...sometimes. :-/

I don't see why anyone would want everyone to have the same taste in music. Life would be boring.

Anyway Kevin still needs to listen to it.

i'll listen to the new harvey milk soon...still haven't done that (though i've got it)

Well thats a start. If you like it check out some of their others, they are even better!

Kevin> most of their older albums have been reissued but I think you might like to start with the comeback album from 2 years ago "Special Wishes" Before you dive headlong into "Courtesy And Goodwill" which is their arty masterpiece.

okay, that's probably good advice, thanks. i'll try to get around to it soon
