Your off-brand faves?

[dUb]

i.e. musical artists you like which you think wouldn't be expected given the usual shit you bang on about here

 

[dUb]

Personally I love a bit of Billy Joel

 

[vespertine]

Hozier - think he's brilliant, one of my top 5 artists.

 

[Devil]

I have a weird soft spot for, not sure how to put it, but like middle of the road rock. Lips of an Angel, a smattering of Live tracks, some Pearl Jam etc. Not very on brand with my usual car crash tastic taste

 

[dUb]

Alternate thread title: do you like any male singers?

 

[Generic Account]

Love some hip hop. Nicki Minaj etc.

Big Travis fan.

 

[K.C.]

I do love a bit of REM and The Donnas

Oh and JET!

All off-brand for me

 

[K.C.]

Ariana Grande. Cuz she's the off-brand Mariah.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I love the new Fontaines DC album - I just wouldn’t start a topic on it as I wouldn’t have much to say about it other than “isn’t it good” and possibly “wow the frontman is quite good looking isn’t he?”

 

[GNL]

I don't think I have a brand to be off

 

[Ellie]

Most of my favs tend to be amongst the R&B/Funk/Soul 70s-90s, plus the Rock/Pop stuff I grew up with, yet Barenaked Ladies are one of my all time favourite bands and I suppose they’re sometimes classed as Alt-Rock. I do like that kind of music but don’t have another singular band I would delve deep into and buy all their albums.

 

[octophone]

Most of what would be "off-brand" for me IRL is perfectly acceptable on Moopy. There has been some surprise in the office at my affection for "Future Nostalgia" but I don't think Moopy batted the proverbial false eyelash. Ditto Taylor Swift.

 

[Tisch]

Artists and that me and Ig see live/buy their albums regularly include Marillion and Texas. Texas only once admittedly but would probably have gone again if it weren't for Rona.

 

[lolly]

Marillion?!

 

[Tisch]

They are honestly fantastic. Basically a different band to the ones that did Kayleigh and Lavender (different singer anyway )

 

[lolly]

What like MARILLION Marillion?

Shitting Hell

 

[GNL]

Maybe Vampire Weekend?

I remember going to see Texas many moons ago. NEVER AGAIN.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I unapologetically love Marillion’s Lavender (and bought it off itunes at the time ) but I attribute that entirely to THAT scene in Nighty Night

 

[big ron]

Harry Styles

 

[Zu]

What like MARILLION Marillion?

Shitting Hell

I knew there was something funny about them two

CALL THE POLICE!

 

[Zu]

I would however obviously DO FISH

I thought this thread was going to be about people’s favourite SUPERMARKET’S OWN products.

I have a soft spot for some Fish-era Marillion but they;ve been a very different kind of band for over 30 years now.

 

[Rita]

EMINEM

Well I do always have a fancy for Tesco’s vegetarian sausages and beans in a tin

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Probably Bruce Springsteen. I have also a fondness for American melancholic indie bands. Mellow jazz floats my boat if the mood is right. 90s Britpop too, but that's more obvious.

[GNL]

Ooh, Chet Baker is another of mine.

 

[jivafox]

James Blunt.

I would die for him.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Bo Ningen
Mozart
U2

 

[Cerro de Casa]

James Blunt.

I would die for him.

That's not super off-brand for you though given your Dido fandom

 

[K.C.]

James Blunt.

Take him with you.

[Zu]

I actually quite like reggae. I don’t actively seek it out but I like it when I hear it. Also more predictable Zu things like Matthias Goerne and austere religious choral works, and I love a countertenor. Andreas Scholl in particular

 

[Kate]

A1 I suppose

 

[RS]

Piano music

 

[win_the_game]

Indie Rock - The War on Drugs/Waxahatchee/Destroyer etc.

 

[SDF]

Anything with a cock hun x

Same! I was all ready to start bigging up Seals from Aldi, a rip off of Penguins.
