Bumping this post, cause I would like opinions on my question.ORIGINAL: Chickenboy
Dixie (et. al.): I have a very strong liking of some of the Brit trance / electronica outfits from the 1990s and early 2000s. Colourbox and Way out West spring to mind as some of the best in the genre. I know a few Colourbox hits made top 10 lists out there ("The Moon is Blue" became a college love anthem). What say you?ORIGINAL: Dixie

If liking The Clash, Elvis Costello, Genesis and the Kinks is "uncool", I guess that's what I am. Blur, Garbage and The Verve were good.
Loathed Oasis, though. My Good Thread, they sucked.
I liked Oasis, they peaked with What's the Story. Their recent stuff was pretty pants really, except the importance of being idle. But that's just one song.
I think the only band since 2000 that's made it onto my playlist is the Kaiser Chiefs. The Verve stopped me from going mental in Al Udeid a couple of summers ago, almost every radio station was playing Kid Rock's song. BFBS was playing Love is Noise instead.

Electronica music never did much for me, post-Kraftwerk...

I like/d the electronic music og the 80's, especially OMD. They did the only album track I know featuring sonar/asdic pings.

The genre as a whole didn't do anything for me. There are occasional tunes that were alright.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
@ Sprior: Paul Hardcastle is one of yours, isn't he? He had some pretty good tunes in the mid 1980s. OMD is quite good as well.
Thread help me for admitting this, but I've been in the midst of a Pet Shop Boys kick for the last few months. Apart from "West End Girls", they've got some other remarkably good music throughout the 1990s.

Paul hardcastle is/was. I didn't particularly like 19. The Pet Shop Boys "Go West" was fun.

Steve, it's in Ogame.org. Mike and I didn't pay attention to a game rule when we made a trade, so we get a time out. [:D]
I've gotten into a couple of these browser-based things since I've gotten all this time, but I cant get into O-Game. [:(]
