what one artist do you like the most that ilm doesn't seem to rate at all

richest man in babylon is p good

Yeah I like Thievery.

I like Sounds From the Thievery Hi Fi a lot, their next album was pretty solid too (the one w/Lebanese Blonde.) Their DJ Kicks was pretty outstanding.

i can't think of anything. if i'm thinking of things that more than a few people here have heard. lots of stuff i love that is just unheard by a lot of people. truthdare doubledare is one of my very favorite albums of the 80s. never heard anyone here rave about it. bronski beat were pretty famous. i don't know how many people were pro-John Jøn though.

Cake are pretty universally derided here, right? I really like Fashion Nugget a lot, but I don't need anything else by them.

I think almost everyone mentioned here has a thread, or tons of threads (Erasure? Jamiroquai?).

But there is no Chumbawamba thread on ILM.

i dig some of that late 90s global underground bullshit like danny tenaglia's two mixes

I used to quite like chumbawamba's 'slap' LP, and that one song by cake

i really liked Slap! too. but i haven't heard it since it came out. the only one i ever bought.

yikes, i just reminded myself. i could never listen to that now. 1990 was a depressing year.

Sigur Ros, the biggest SR thread has a classic first and second response that still makes me giggle tho'.

Cats eyes get no love here - no thread, overshadowed by the other dudes band The Horrors

I was going to say Danny Wilson, at least one other poster likes them though: Danny Wilson

I will rep for Sigur Rós.

The band that I like a lot that has some outright hate posts directed at them is the Ocean Blue.

Cake are pretty universally derided here, right? I really like Fashion Nugget a lot, but I don't need anything else by them.

I started a Cake thread in 2011. Don't really listen to them much anymore, but they were the most important band in the world to me when I was a teenager.

I tend to a very lonely thread on the Dutch band Nits, whom I love unreservedly.

xp, that's great, frogbs! I will join your fan club.

some bad answers itt

oh yes, erasure, absolutely derided on ilm

i dig some of that late 90s global underground bullshit like danny tenaglia's two mixes

jeez i owned about half a dozen GU mixes. and like three sasha & digweeds. and a solo digweed. And TRANCEPORT by OAKENFOLD.

lol xp

haha i had a lot of those too

Ryan Power. The great unheralded prog-pop genius of our time, and I don't think I've seen him mentioned here once.

a lot of my answers would be Japanese stuff that never crossed over

but one artist I really do like that no one here really cares about is Datarock

The entire Kerri Chandler thread is about 80 percent single-post revives by me.

Just had a quick spin through 'Slap!' - yeah, lots of it has not aged well at all. This one track though still sounds great, as long as you skip over the bits where they are singing / talking

are there any other Hue and Cry fans on ilm?

i have never stopped playing the first two Doves albums since they came out and sometimes i wonder if anyone still plays them at all. i mean people might have liked them when they came out but they feel kinda forgotten. i never get tired of them.

Some Cities is a fantastic record, scott. I will rep pretty hard for that one.

i never got into that one as much. i've never even heard their fourth album. those first two though...

Emmerdale / Life era Cardigans

I liked Kingdom of Rust okay. It had some really great highlights.

I'm the same, Scott, still rate those first two Doves albums highly and pretty much fell off with the third which I found quite bland. Recently, I listened to the fourth album to see if I'd missed anything and hadn't really. I like the production on those first two LP's a lot.

Revolution by Chumbawamba is an absolute classic anarcho-punk single but I'm not a big fan of their later stuff. I still have a soft spot for the Anarchy album but that's probably because I was 17 when it came out.

The Tea Party
Florence And The Machine
..James? I love James but don’t remember ever speaking of them here

idk there's like one florence thread but it's not empty

Also I adore Solex and I’m sure at least there are five of us

But I’m the same vein: Kevin Blechdom?

psyched to discover there are at least three threads on the rheostatics

are there any other Hue and Cry fans on ilm?

Hit us up on the Deep Cuts thread my dude.

Carnival Art

Mew are a competitor for my favourite extant rock band but I don't think more than three or four people care about them here.

are there any other Hue and Cry fans on ilm?

i enjoy the fine musical stylings of coatbridge's finest post-structuralist, scottish nationalist pop duo

The Fall of Troy

the high llamas

lots of duds in the c/d thread

lots of hate in various stereo lab threads

mostly indifference

for the record I fucking love Chumbawamba all the way up to the Un album and sporadically after that

Kenrick Lamar, Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, New Order. all great music that ILM hates for some reason.

meanwhile some of you have a real hard-on for ELP's Love Beach

High Llamas are great.

I like(d) that one Thievery Corp album, but ILM shamed me out of listening to them any further.

underoath

i say that bc i'm about to mention them in another thread

if human beings could live to be 200 I'd probably get into Telepath's stuff

Am I dreaming or isn’t there a massive dc go-go thread that was started by curmudgeon a long time ago?

xp lol yeah I feel like fully appreciating Telepath/slushwave in general requires a deliberate slowdown of one's biological rhythms

telepath rules

maybe My Morning Jacket? those first 3-4 records were some of my favorites of the early oughts and I think they hold up really well.

probably responsible for a lot of crap imitations in the intervening years though

the new D.C. Go-Go thread

_Telepath

I love Telepath more than life itself, at least through late 2015. I'm of the [evidently popular] opinion that the quality of his work dropped off somewhat when he went sample-free. I've actually thought about starting a chronological track-by-track thread for Telepath/Virtual Dream Plaza if there were enough interest...
