It is not inventor of the C chord and the first man to ever wear a backpack Edison Sheeran.

It’s Muse, isn’t it?

Yeah Show Your Bones is a great album. Possibly seeing them live at that ATP made it more special but that’s probably my favourite to put on.

Also it’s just the Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs is the debut EP by American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released in 2001 by the band’s own label, Shifty. It is sometimes incorrectly called Master due to the prominence of a necklace bearing that word on the album’s cover.

Pfffft

The rapture were much better than lcd soundsystem

No Sex For Ben is another banger.

Brought to my attention via GTA IV.

I’d potentially argue that London Sessions is their best album, which reflects my view that the live versions of their stuff tends to be better than the albums.

Did say myself they don’t have a perfect album but reckon people are massively overstating how poor or inconsistent their albums are. One or two duff/filler tracks on each but otherwise pretty much solid gold. Would give each of the last three 9/10 overall.

I was gonna say this

LCD have 2 really good songs and a lot of dross, The Rapture are a lot more consistent

Been out of the mixer for a couple of days and come back to find out that LCD Soundsystem are better than Joni Mitchell. Enjoying that.

don’t get the This Is Happening hate. Think it’s conversely become my favourite of theirs the last few years. Take Drunk Girls and that duff Nightclubbing rip off the record and it’s 10/10 for me. Definitely the one of theirs I go back to the most. Home & Dance Yourself Clean are the best stuff they’ve ever done.

Other than Beat Connection, Yeah and Losing My Edge I’ve got absolutely no time for anything pre-Sound of Silver. That whole first album sounds really of its time now, reminds me of all the embarrassing glowstick nu-rave shit of the time even though I know they were reasonably separate from that scene, whereas I think the subsequent 3 records are all pretty “timeless” sounding, in that they could have come from any time going back to about 1978.

Yr City’s a Sucker is probably in my top 5 LCD songs, the first album is definitely the one I’d go back to least though.

Always liked that on the Yeah 12" they had “not as good as Losing My Edge” scratched into the run-out groove, and on the remastered 12" ten years later it had “still not as good as Losing My Edge” scratched into it.

good shout, that’s a good one too. Movement is fun live as well.

‘Movement’ fucking rips live. ‘Tired’ too. Agree withthe above though, never listen to the first album, only the bonus disc tbh.

first albums the most fun I think… the one I listen to most now. think I like it because it’s the least polished
