We need a thread for non-film music, even though the “What are you listening to?” thread includes all kinds of music. This is for all things rock, pop, and electronic. Anyone have top lists to share?
Pop/rock for me, probably something like this:
1. SUPERTRAMP
2. The Alan Parsons Project
3. Pink Floyd
4. Rammstein
5. Oingo Boingo
6. 10CC
7. Manfred Mann’s Earthband
8. The Beach Boys
9. Elton John
10. Jethro TullOr something.
Electronic, maybe:
1. Jean Michel Jarre
2. Vangelis….and then after that, I have a hard time ranking. But I would need to include Tangerine Dream, Paul Oakenfold, Juno Reactor, Giorgio Moroder, Harold Faltermeyer, Waveshaper, Infected Mushroom, Shpongle, Kraftwerk.
This damn page. I was sitting in the underground, typing my top ten, was already in the honorable mention section as network connection got lost, came back, Page reloaded, everything gone.
Maybe later another try.
Sorry to hear it, Gerate. Not the site’s fault this time, though. Your post isn’t in ‘spam’ or ‘pending’ or anything. Hope you find it in you to redo the list in safer network conditions!
I didn’t reload the form. I switched to another app, when network was lost, then when switching to the browser again it automatically reloaded the form by himself. I miss the good old times when web pages weren’t that complicated and browsers didn’t permanently do stupid things automatically to “improve my internet experience”.
Anyway, here my list again (I already know, Thor is gonna hate it).
The Divine Comedy
The Cure
Pearl Jam
Radiohead
Joe Jackson
Kristin Hersh / Throwing Muses
PJ Harvey
Everything But The Girl
The Pixies
They Might Be GiantsHonorable Mentions: The Beatles, Supertramp, Kate Bush, System of a Down, The Smith, The La’s, The Kooks, Interpol, The Cocteau Twins, Hall & Oates, Burt Bacharach, Billy Talent, U2, Sting, Howard Jones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumkins.
Thanks, Gerate, interesting list!
It’s true many of your top favourites aren’t my cup of tea, but I DO enjoy some Joe Jackson and Divine Comedy.
And your honourable mentions have loads of great stuff. Obviously Supertramp, but also Bacharach, Sting, Howard Jones, Cocteau Twins, Bush, Beatles. I even rocked out to System of a Down once upon a time, when nu metal was hot. 😀
But overall, I think you were more in tune with your own time than I ever was.
I’ve never been on a board where the content is saved if you reload before you hit “submit”.
There’s a site called JWFan where this is the case.
I’ve noticed the editor sometimes restores what you’ve written after reloading.
It’s not so much the editor as probably the browser cache.

Well, as mentioned somewhere else jwfan uses as commercial forum software. I could possibly try to install a so called progressive webapp plugin that might help with local storing. But there is no guarantee either and it might have other side effects as it may very persistently cache things…
I hadn’t. In fact, I remember accidentally refreshing the page whilst writing a post, and it was lost.
It’s also happened on FSM many times, but then again that board is older than the internet itself.
I always assumed on JWFan the draft posts are stored in the cookie. That is why I can revisit them even though I hadn’t submitted them.

That might be.
Interesting that you liked System of a Down. To me they were by far the best that came out of that whole Nu Metal movement.
