The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound. 2008.

Not sure if many of you have heard of them but if you like Americana rock (not quite punk, think more heavy Springsteen) then you might like these guys.

The Twang - 10:20. Very slow burner, but couldn't stop playing it. Their debut album wasn't too shabby either.

Sieb22 · 15/10/2014 1:28 pm

Can't go without mentioning the Boss.

Bruce Springsteen - The Rising. 2002. Inspired to get back together with the E Street band after 18 years, this was his reflection on 9/11.

To the meloncollie 'You're Missing'..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXxsJM0mPeQ&list=PL51C9E3E14ECB5E7E&index=12

To the uplifting 'Waiting on a sunny day'..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgIWGOY7RIs&list=PL51C9E3E14ECB5E7E&index=3

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake is definitely a shout though

I was at that gig Seggyboy.

Is that the night their support band was a French electronica band (a guy and a burd) who were hilariously bad and almost ended up bottled aff.They were giving the crowd abuse back,was quite marvelous.

The Strokes then took over an hour to come on stage after the support had finished.It was roasting and the crowd were getting tetchy as fuck.Few scuffles breaking out.

Braw gig once they finally came on though.

huntedbyafreak · 15/10/2014 11:05 pm

First Arctic Monkeys album is teckle as well. 2006 I think. Saw them at Caird Hall. It's a pish venue but they were excellent

Agreed on both counts. Their fourth album (Suck it and See) is superb too.

Skying by the Horrors is a cracking album.
Music of the Spheres and My Way by Ian Brown both excellent.
My personal post 2000 fave is 'A Hundred Days Off' by Underworld.
