Honestly, how COOL is Portishead?

[SuperGroove]

I must've listened to Wandering Star like 50 bajillion times last night. That's gotta be Portishead's ultimate song...I don't like sour times much anymore.

i just downloaded that song to check in out, and it is a pretty cool song....there is a portishead song--pretty sure it is portishead--from a few years back that is very haunting, mellow and soft, i remember it being almost emotional....any idea what song that could be ?

cheers

sookaa

[BigSmooth]

nobody loves me/

[Soulflare]

Yeah that's Sour Times, my favorite song of their's is Glory Box.

 

[yakko]

Portishead is awesome. I got their live album on vcd off of Fleabay. It should be here next week. I can't wait until the new album comes out.

 

[Modeps]

portishead = one of the truly original great bands of our time.

 

[CoolTechie]

Thanks for the topic. I need to pull out my Live NYC album. Great album. Long time, no hear.

 

[SuperGroove]

mosdef,

You wouldn't say How cool Are Nirvana, would you? I didn't think so. Portishead is a duo. They act as one. So wtf?


Anyways...Sour Times is alright...have you guys checked out It's a Fire?

I LOOOVE Portishead! I LOOOVE massive attack...I LOVE ESTHERO! Oh, and Sneaker Pimps. I love that song How Do.

Also, I don't like Hooverphonic as much...not as powerful as Portishead. That's why my Hooverphonic CD is gathering dust, while my Portishead gathers scratches from my damn crappy Creative Labs DVD-ROM drive.

[Thumbs Up] Esthero is definitely very cool [/Thumbs Up]

 

[CoolTechie]

yes i agree hooverphonic isnt as good.. and i completely forgot about sneaker pimps.. nice

 

[b0red]

So... What is TripHop? So many subgenres under Electronica.

 

[Thom]

I've been to portishead. It is not cool, or even remotely pleasant.

 

[CoolTechie]

shoot.. hard to describe.. like trippy abstract hip hop.. usually low key.. maybe a little strange.. u wanna check it out download "Hell is around the corner" by Tricky phat stuff... trip hop and trip pop are pretty similar except for the raps in triphop...
