I heard one of their songs, I have no idea what it is called, and I didn't even hear all of it, but I loved it.... info please?

A Quick One, While He's Away- The Who
Dear Prudence- Either the Beatles, OLP, or Siouxise and the Banshees
Bumble Bee- JJ72
Oxygen- JJ72
Knock Knock- The Hives
Face the Face- Pete Townshend

... I just realized I hardly know the names of the songs I listen to, because there are so many more.

I also just realized that nobody around me likes the stuff I listen to, and I am always wanting to share it with others, yet there is nobody around.

Ozma can always put a smile on my face. They don't have a particular style, just really catchy stuff. I can't figure out why they aren't getting more rotation. And I just relate to them... band members are my age and share my attitude on, well, life. :) They're not really goofy, but there's nothing too deep either.

Check out http://www.ozmaonline.com for more info, lyrics (they're GOLD!), and links to some mp3s.

Look in to:
In Search of 1988 (my favourite)
Domino Effect (the single)
Battlescars (a beautiful epic song)
Natalie Portman (just look at the lyrics to this one)

Or pick up the CD "Rock and Roll Part III". It took my a while to track down and costed me about $28, but it's worth it.

JJ72 crack me up. Not only does the lead singer sound like a girl, but all their songs sound identical. You can't distinguish Oxygen from Snow or even their new single Formulae.

Rigger · Post by **Rigger** » 9/13/2002, 9:23 pm

here's a few to check out...

Ours - Medication, Bleed
Slurpymundae - Undecided, I Found You There
Black Lab - 10 Million Years
Doves - Catch The Sun
left Pencey - Solution, Time Spent Running

:mrgreen:

enjoy!

Woah! I did not know anyone else listened to Tiger Army here besides me, cool! My favorite songs are "Power Of Moonlight", "Annabel Lee" and "In The Orchard", wow. Oh and I also recommend "Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk" by Rufus because I absolutely love that song!

Yes, and they sound a lot like Vast, who, by the way, also kicks major assage. :nod:
