Hey walkie - Thanks for the vote of confidence on my thread

if you seek the Fat Bottomed Girls, I suggest finding the NSFW version of "Bicycle Race" video.

and in terms of keyboard driven pop ballads, I contend that Splitsville "Sasha" tops the output of Coldplay/keane

Consider "Work For Food" by Dramarama.

I'm going through a bit of a Queen obsession at the moment, primarily because I was in a particularly grumpy mood the other day while driving to the Metro and that new classic rock station served up "Killer Queen" and it completely changed my mood.   So I've blasting some Queen greatest hits in the car, for the short trips around the hood.

It dawned on me that a whole lot of Indie Rock bands could use more inspiration from Queen.  Where is the swagger, the hooks, the soaring vocals, when was the last time you air drummed to a Indie Rock band. 

BINGO!

I tend to see it as they could use inspiration from ACDC but for a lot of the same reasons..

ACDC recorded maybe five or six good songs, and basically rewrote those songs over and over after that.

And even if its true, it made a career for Chuck Berry plus it helped make spying on women using the bathroom a little bit more socially acceptable.
