Hence the thread really want to broaden the music horizons a little so nothing too experimental is what I am after.
Loving the contributions, will check them all out later in the week when I am off shift.


It's a couple of years old now but Marina & The Diamonds first album is an absolute corker. Very poppy with a bit of an indie slant. I love it (but then again I love her too :wink: )

I like La Roux's singles - nice and new romanticcy but in a cool type of way.

I note Amy Winehouse hasn't been mentioned. Cracking albums with widespread appeal.

The Noisettes are pretty good to.

Failing that some of the better stuff is all 90's - Portishead's Dummy is a seminal album.

You could try the excellent Dusty Springfield if you want to go back. Plus Blondie made a couple of very cool albums.

F*cking 'ell I'm knackered!

Finally had the chance to sit down, sup some alcohol and enjoy these recommendations. I have listened to all of the artists suggested.

Guys, thank you so much for your contributions. Really hard to narrow it down (but I have) and one or two for myself (eg Ida Maria).

Mrs Latic will receive for Chrimbo:

Memoirs - Rox
Stairwells - Kina Grannis
Metals - Feist
Live in London - Regina Spektor
Youth Novels - Lykke Li
The Fool (Deluxe) - Warpaint
Feel It Break - Austra
Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor - Caro Emerald
Anna Calvi - Anna Calvi
Sea Sew - Lisa Hannigan

Hopefully that will will get her close to musical redemption. :)

Cheers again :D

Pleased to see you picked up on those first two, as they're not specially well-known (unless they've had singles out that I don't know about). Good luck and happy listening :)

Really liked Rox, sure the Mrs will too. Would never have checked it out if it wasn't for this thread. £3 on Amzon for a CD copy :shock:
