RADIOHEAD
These guys are great! They are from Oxford, England. Now some people might be suprised to find that their accent is "posh" for rock dudes... hehe. Naw, they're not "posh"!! I love Ed O'Brien who is 4th from the left on the piccy below. Click on the image below for the full-sized piccy.
Radiohead released three albums so far: their 1st album 'Pablo Honey' was released in 1993 backing up their great single 'Creep' (one of my FAVOURITE tracks of all time), 2nd album 'The Bends' was released in 1995, and their 3rd album 'Ok Computer' was released in 1997 and was voted the number 1 greatest album EVER by readers of 'Q' magazine.
PORTISHEAD
Portishead are from Bristol, England. The main song writers are Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley. My family beg for mercy whenever I put one of their albums on, they said it's "too depressing and sounds like some kinda suicidal music".
Well, depressing they are, but amazing also. They released their first album 'Dummy' in 1993, second album 'Portishead' in 1997, and they have released an album of their gig in New York or something like that in 1998.
I saw them at the 'T in the Park' music festival in summer '98 and they were great live! You know how some bands sound dodgy when they play live, well Portishead are a band who are at their best when playing live. Also the lighting and graphics contributed to an overwhelming atmosphere. I love Beth she's a Kewl-Kat ^_^
Does anyone know if Glory Box was used in a Levi advert? Hmm... sounds v. familiar...
NIRVANA
I don't know too much about these guys, but their music is great!! Well, what can I say about Nirvana? I won't drone on about the suicide since it is such a generic topic related to Nirvana. Hmm, which album is better.. Bleach.. In Utero? Bleach I reckon is better :) Some guys make a big thing of Nevermind, which is also a great album. Try sticking a pair of earphones into your ears and blast a Nirvana album into your ears 24-hours a day... garanteed to make your head spin..hehe.
