    I agree with Marco, Rock/Pop is disapointing at the moment... or maybe I am
    getting older??
    Gomez is definitely a good surprise. These guys were 17 years old when thwy
    released their first album. The production is superb and so unique: mixing
    pop with blues and samples and scratches and nive melodies... what a
    programme. respect is due.
    Apart from them, I still like Supergrass and Paul Weller (not very young and
    recent).
    Having said that, there is one band I really adore: ELYSIAN FILEDS (from NY
    I think). Their 1st album was absolutely superb...
    Does anyone knows if they still exist? If they splited-up, what are the
    former members doing now?
    Thanks guys.
