Ok, as part of my 40th birthday celebrations, a very kind friend has given me a £20 HMV gift card.

Now I haven't bought any "modern" tunes for many a year. I like indie tunes, but not averse to a dance. rock. In fact ok with most things with the exception of RnB:gag:

Was thinking Kings of Leon and Killers, but honestly don't have much of a clue at present.

So what would you buy with £20. Recommendations please.

Cheers

Jim:thumbsup:

You could always buy a Compilation or two of *modern* stuff, if you want to get clued up on it ! :)

Try one of the 'Now thats what I call music' compilations. They tend to be a mix of all sorts!

I found £40 of hmv vouchers, I'm intending on buying every episode of peepshow and season 7 of family guy. BTW, a tip with hmv; look on the website things are cheaper with free delivery. Peepshow is £18 cheaper on their website.

Try the White Lies album. I'm enjoying that at the moment.

Or if you like modern 80s sounding music try Neon Neon's album, Stainless Style. I love that too.

Kings of Leons latest album is ace, the Killers is a bit run of the mill though.

Yep, have you noticed it was designed for people with short attention spans though?
2 lines then chorus, 2 lines then chorus etc.

Cool album though :thumbsup:

Personally I'd be probably put it towards a game.

I tend to download (legally, 7digital.com) music I want at the moment (only cos I can't get Limewire to see past my Firewall, damn ZA)

Fallout 3 interests me, but I'm not a fan of the kind of game it is, so I'll need to rent it before paying £40 for it.

Elbow are a good recommendation :thumbsup:

Their performance of their album The Seldom Seen Kid with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Abbey Road is being shown on loop on the BBC Red Button; well worth catching. I believe you can also just listen to it on the Radio 2 website too.

(edit: there's a bit of it on youtube, here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Yja6OmJAs))
