Go to America ?! No, not right now with this fingerprints and mugshot thing going on to enter. But you were only teasing, right? Actually I think the Mozzer will come to Sweden. Or has he recently? At least he wasn't in Stockholm. Or was he? :smash:
Anyway, have you heard Swedish band the Knife? 'Heartbeats' and 'You take my breath away' are well woth a visit to your local peer-to-peer network ;) .
And if you like those, you might consider getting the album 'Deep cuts' from your IRL dealer. :wavey:

It would be cool for everyone on this board to go see him with me :)(actually not really) , but particularly those with good taste like yourself. Anyhow i have heard of the Knife yes but am not familiar with any material. I'll look into them for sure

Andylover_16 is a walking encyclopedia for music I don't like ;)

Since these albums really haven't received much limelight, I shall promote them:

En Vogue - Masterpiece Theatre (please, take that literally)
En Vogue - Soul Flower (take that literally too)
En Vogue - The Best Of
En Vogue - EV3

As you can tell, En Vogue deserves more attention ;)

Thicke - Brave new world
Jamelia - Drama
Honeyz - Honeyz
Alcazar - Alcazarized
Alcazar - Casino
Mis-teeq - Eye Candy
Mis-teeq - Lickin' on both sides

I am forgetting a lot here, but my mind is just blank.. I'll probably add more later.

But you sure like little soul and r'n b :cat: :nerner: :haha:
And those babes in Alcazar are also :cat: especially the red-haired one :rolls:
I'd probably go with Mary J. Blige, Aaliyah and Erykah Badu, but they're not really underrated, are they. At least not in my world :)
En Vogue, they had some pretty good songs. I liked them better than TLC.

Hehe... I know Alcazar isn't really music of great quality, but I like it.. it cracks me up and I can shout along with their out-of-tone tunes!

I don't like Mary J. Blige nor Erykah Badu ;) I do like TLC though. So here's an addendum:

Liberty X - Liberty X
Liberty X - Being Nobody
TLC - FanMail
TLC - 3D
Noir Désir - Des visages, des figures

And, I didn't post this before, but I somehow have the feeling that Savage Garden is underrated a lot too, so:

Savage Garden - Savage Garden
Savage Garden - Affirmation
Darren Hayes - Spin

I shall be patriottic for once and stick up for some Belgian music (yes yes Big in Belgium):

Hooverphonic, started out as quite dreamy trip-hop but evolved to a quality pop band, culminating in a toned down unplugged interpretation of their songs in their latest album. Great female voice!

A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular (definitely check out the songs Inhaler & 2Wicky)
Blue Wonder Power Milk (Eden, Club Montepulciano, Lung)
The Magnificent Tree (Mad About You, Vinegar & Salt, Jackie Cane)
Hooverphonic Presents... Jackie Cane (Sometimes, The World is Mine)
Sit Down And Listen to Hooverphonic (One, fantastic must-hear version of Vinegar & Salt)

dEUS: rock with great sense of melody. not afraid of experiment, but song still first.
Worst Case Scenario
My Sister = My Clock (Mini EP)
In a bar, under the sea
The Ideal Crash
No More Loud Music (the singles) great way to get started! Hotel Lounge has a high place on my best ever songs list

Conan is very right, Soulwax have made some great singles. I don't know their albums, but I'm sure they're high quality too!

Aphex, apart from Front 242 :rocker2: I don't know those bands...

Of course truly big in belgium are all those soft-house thingies that all sound pretty much the same...
