I've still be listening to a lot of Blur, Franz Ferdinand ("Take Me Out" is still their best song), the Gorillaz, and I highly recommend Fiona Apple's latest "Extraordinary Machine" (definitely worth the wait).....Also.. I'm really impressed with Audioslave's latest album (especially "Out of Exile" and "Your Time Has Come") and Depeche Mode's "Precious" deserves all the airtime that receives and I must say Sir Paul McCartney's "Fine Line" is probably his best solo single in quite some time (would rival anything he did w/Wings) and it's gratifying to see Neil Young still produce some of the best recordings.... I must admit though that I'm not really too keen on the Rolling Stones most recent release.....
I have to say that I've been somewhat out of the loop w/music, but will probably begin listening to newer bands again.... I still cant wait for Radiohead's and the Strokes new albums respectively to be released...... Those 2 albums might have a significant/definitive impact on the music industry.....
