Please recommend some bands to me, along with a reason for your recommendation. Don't bother with the obvious, I already have over 11 Frank Zappa albums.[/b]
They are from Glasgow. I really like them, because they write good songs with nice melodies. Quite fine guiter playing and other instruments as well. Softish vocal. but not as sad as Nick Drake.

Originally posted by hopscotchNo way! Check out either Liquid Skin or Bring it On (I reckon this is better, it is also their first album).
Isn't Gomez like a cross between the Verve and Radiohead watered down for easy pop culture digestion?
I can't put into words how good these guys are, especially if you keep in mind how young they were when they recorded the first album.
Edit - this is a far from CD quality sample at amazon - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/wma-pop-up/-/B00000AETS001003/102-6004128-7532160

I will second BB's recommendation of [b]Gomez.
If the Beatles had stayed together long enough to start jamming with Led, they would have eventually stumlbed across what Gomez has been doing since they started.
I think they have completely blown up, but the Matthew Good Band is worth a listen, as well.
He's not a band, but certainly record ...[text shortened]... kburn[/b] is difficult to beat as a singer/songwriter.
Pure pop, try Wes Cunningham.[/b]
