Sounds like a Maire Brennan issue. Her voice is an acquired taste.

Kosheen, and Ian Brown are my latest imports of purchase.

I like the german based band De/Vision allot also.  They sound allot like Depeche Mode.  Do we have any Depeche fans around?

heh, minor fan. I have "Behind the Wheel" playing as I read this thread, so I must like them enough to be one of the first dozen or so cds I ripped at work.

I own them all except for 1 record, and like 4 singles.  I haven't got the box sets either, but I have thought about it.  Other than that I have almost all of there work up to now.  They are working on new material for release in the autumn.  SWEET! ;D

Speak & Spell is the only album that I do not have.  As for singles I don't even know that one.  I'd have to research a bit to find out.  I'd almost bet by now that I am way further behind than I think I am on the singles.  

Which albums do you own e?

I actually only own Catching Up,  Music for the Masses and a single of "It's No Good" on CD.
I have Some Great Reward on vinal, though. And I think Speak and Spell is one of the ones I have on tape. I haven't updated as much of my tape collection as I would like.

What did you think of the "Speak & Spell" album?  Was it any good?  I can imagine it probably would be.  There older material is not as good as the newer stuff, but that's true for almost any artist.  I will however say that with Depeche Mode I have enjoyed all of their material up to the present.  Their music gets better as they progress through records, and their careers.  They have engineers from the Violator record on the one they are working on now, Yipeeeeee!  Violator was my favorite Depeche Mode album!!!

I just got the new NIN today!  Totally Awesome Stuff!  To me I think it is reverting back to The Downward Spiral days.  I love this new record from start to finish.  If you like NIN in the slightest I recommend checking it out.  If you go to NIN.COM  then click on CURRENT there is a shortcut to listen to the record via the internet in it's entirety.  I do recommend checking this one out, Great Stuff! ;D

I remember not being impressed by it. It's been an awfully long time since I listened to it. It was alright, but like you said, their newer stuff is much better. It's not something that made me angry, but other than Some Great Reward, the only old stuff of theirs I listen to is on Catching Up.

I would have to totally agree Some Great Reward is a great album.  One of my favorite songs of Depeche's is on that record, which is "Blasphemous Rumours".  Black Celebration is another good record by them also.

We got to see Great Big Sea in Newfoundland.  Wheee!

My husband has Altan and Clannad.  And Capercaillie.  I hope I spelled that right.  I think I like Capercaillie the best of those three.

I didn't know that we had a foreign music thread! Cool!

I took two semesters of Italian at BYU, and at that time fell in love with ITALIAN POP!!! Nek's "Laura non ce" was played repeadedly in my apartment at that time. Nek is cool--I recommend him.

A friend made me a CD of Italian songs, and I love it. I also like Andrea Bocelli, which is not Italian Pop, but is beautiful opera-like music. Eros Razamotti is cool, too. The song that makes me crack up, though, is the Backstreet Boys singing "Quit Playing Games with My Heart" in Italian.

Eros Ramazotti is cool, though I've only heard him in Spanish--he rerecords everything and releases it in Mexico.

Regarding Backstreet Boys in Italian, I have a "popular hits of the day" tape that includes the Spice Girls singing in truly horrible Spanish.

I'll bring my Italian pop to roleplaying tonight. Then you, too, can rejoice in the glory that is Nek.  :D
