British Invasion '05..

[Fico]

The Doves and Idlewild record are the best things I've heard this year so far...not just brilliant but incredibly "commercial"...if the label pushes them they'll prolly make it..
 
 New Coldplay, new Oasis, Bloc Party, Snow Patrol...twas about fookin time!

...and "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking" is just as good - but I don't think they've shot a video for it yet.

Doves should have been the band that Coldplay is now.

I totally agree. I think the Last Broadcast was a much better album than A Rush of Blood to the Head.

Ditto on all the albums you mentioned. One more to add to the list... Athlete. The Kaiser Chiefs' album has some potential too based on the couple of tracks I've heard.

I'm heading up to NYC next weekend to see The Kaiser Chiefs. I will report back on how they are.

I'm looking forward to your report, Kurosawa.  I like the single, but it sounds SO much like a couple 80s bands I just can't quite put my finger on.  I'm beginning to wonder -- seems like so many of the new bands these days sound like carbon copies of early 80s bands (no, I'm not saying derivative, I'm sounding they have me ringing my head, trying to pinpoint what song that is from my high school years).
 
 Or, Kaiser Chiefs could be great on their own...not sure, but I'm not buying CDs on 'spec' these days.
 
 All that to say I'm eager to see what you think, K!

 Oasis headlining at MSG?? Are you kidding me? I thought that a venue like Hammerstein would be a stretch for them at this point. That's like Blur playing the MCI Center.
