    You're welcome! Never thought of putting these links on here before, so well done for starting the thread. I've been looking up some of the others posted so far. :cheesy:
  • One particularly good thing about last.fm is that it has a lot of full-length tracks so you can have a listen to an album before deciding whether or not to buy it.

    I've been on Last fm for about 3-4 years now and found some excellent artists on there.

    Is that a dancing icon Pip?

    Hi Rabs - yes - dancing (from '[more]' on post message emoticon icons) - icon is dancing to music but also posted icon to say, 'Hey! - yes, thanks for more music', if you get me.

    Duffy
    Welsh songstress Duffy produced one of 2008's most loved records. Its blue-eyed soul harked back to 60s singers such as Dusty Springfield and Petula Clark. listen-for-free.gif spacer.gifspacer.gifspacer.gif111590.jpgEverything Is Borrowed
    The Streets
    For his fourth album, Mike Skinner drew back from the modern life references, whilst keeping the personalized touch to his music intact. listen-for-free.gif spacer.gifspacer.gifspacer.gif59087.jpgThe Script
    The Script
    The debut album from the young Irish trio was a master class in soulful, lyrical songwriting. Anthemic and beautifully crafted, stateside success surely beckons for this band in 2009� listen-for-free.gif spacer.gifspacer.gifspacer.gif89586.jpgAntidotes
    Foals
    Oxford-based indie trio Foals delighted audiences and critics alike with their debut album. Jaunty, angular and rhythmic, it owes a heavy debt to Talking Heads... listen-for-free.gif feature-footer.gifOffice: +44(0) 207 117 0809Email: [EMAIL="info@We7.com"]info@We7.com[/EMAIL]

    Ha ha, 'tis brilliant, I've come home to find daughter in bath, (other end of house!), Volumn jacked up, and I'm listening to her Radio, COMPLETELY CHILLED! I can absolutely love listening to other peoples selections, and am really enjoying this, So far - Day Of The New, Enemy, followed by Sleep & The Travelling, followed by Audioslave, Then Ben Harper & The Innocent. I would never know who half these bands were if were not for this sites method of profiling and voting. Yet I don't have to click any more buttons. Well done again, Last.fm. Genius, I only have to sit back and enjoy :rotfl: :T :T
