Portishead?

[guffman]

i just know that when i do heroin for the first time it will be the only music i listen to.

This is the best description of Portishead's sound that I've ever heard.

haha thanks, i do try!

I think their self-titled is my favorite. Every band that I would have suggested most people listed them already, so go for those.

[guffman]

the pandora station for portishead is sick btdub.

[Old Manus]

Thievery Corporation bro.

[Shiny]

Amon Tobin
Thievery Corporation

and not really the same (because they are way more happy) but worth mentioning for awesomeness, Stereolab

Hells yes!

[Bunny]

I think they suck.

Portishead or Thievery Corp.?

I think the live portishead album sucks because Beth Gibbons is really off key. her poor sense of pitch is less obvious on the electronic albums (and possibly fixed in studio).

The live album is terrific!

uhh.. it's so bizarre seeing this thread since I live in a small town of england called Portishead which is where the band got it's name from, very odd to read!

but yeah, I liked their stuff, especially since it's close to the whole Trip-hop genre which I adore.
