Does /mu/ like Elbow?

is that a new ricky gervais show

After 10 years of working at it, I'm finally able to lick my own elbow

didnt know charlie brooker had a band

They're pretty good. I like Guy's radio show, it's comfy as fuck.

I know the drummer (now ex) and he's a nice guy

I like that one song, I don't know the name of it, but you know which one I'm talking about.

I'm not that big of a fan, all their music begins to all sound the same after a while, which really I blame more on the style of music they do than the band it's self.
Like >>70927708 said, Guy's BBC radio show is pretty good though.

>>70927758
I really don't, maybe if I was british I would but they never had any huge hits over here.

>>70927882
that one that they played during the olympics

doves are better

Yeah, I like them a lot, the new album was nice, but not amazing like the rest of their work

Grounds for Divorce?

Doves are fantastic and mad underrated band, Lost Souls is a classic

Oh, Elbow, Doves, Coldplay, Travis, Keane, that takes me back to my childhood, they were basically the bands that got me into music.

THROW YOUR CURTAINS WIDE

I like doves by they are very different sounding bands. Elbow is like if coldplay kept on going in the direction of their first albums and doves is like if coldplay kept going in the direction of their early EPs.

>>70927077
Take Radiohead, replace Thom Yorke with Peter Gabriel and all electonics with orchestral arrangments you got Elbow.

>>70928141
They are very close bands to each other, I mean they are both from Manchester and Guy Garvey sung backing vocals on some Doves songs and Jimi Goodwin did some on New York Morning.

>>70928216
that doesn't mean they sound the same, because they certainly don't. That's like saying the rolling stones are the same as the beatles because they became friends after their feud.

They don't sound exactly the same, but they are very similar to each other in many ways, they are companion bands like Oceansize and Amplifier.

Reminder that this album won the Mercury Music Prize instead of In Rainbows

>>70928589
Well In Rainbows is not really one of Radiohead's best albums. (not that I'm saying it's bad, there is only one Radiohead album I honestly think is bad, and I won't say which one because people get very angry about my opinion it seems.)

>>70927077
Yes

>>70927115
HAHAHAHA

>>70928895
Fuck off

>>70927077
If Little Fictions is indicative of their style as a whole, no.
Some of it was enjoyable, but Magnificient grated like nothing else.

>>70929463
That was their weakest album, listen to this one >>70928589

>>70927077
Even the group pic looks bland

Asleep in the Back is GOAT.

>>70928098
Britpop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Post-britpop.

Parachutes is excellent though.

>>70928887
>not intentionally making people angry with your opinion

Why browser the internet if not for that?
