Title: Portishead apprecian thread
Post by: Phoenix Dark on August 30, 2006, 10:04:19 PM

Anyone else into Portishead? I'm a fan of Kanye West, and I remember him saying in an interview that Portishead was one of his inspirations for Late Registration. So after that I looked them up.

Pretty awesome band. Very gloomy, trippy music. Their lead singer has one of the most haunting voices I've ever heard. Before hearing this band, I wasn't familiar with "trip-hop", nor had I heard of it.

That's perhaps my favorite song of theirs. I couldn't find an actual video of it, so that's just a vid someone made for school

Very gloomy, haunting song. The video is pretty strange.

Fucking awesome song, amazing video. The chorus blows me away.

One of the most awesome, haunting sounds ever. Reminds me of Black Sabbath a bit. And the video is crazy.

Portishead is probably my #2 or #3 band. Beth makes me melt.

Youtube doesn't seem to have a real video for the song, but here's an ameuter video for Roads which is one of Portishead's best songs, if not the best.

Portishead is on my top 5 list of best sex albums, right along with pretty much anything by Massive Attack

Portishead!

p.s. If you like Portishead check out Massive Attack and Sneaker Pimps

Portishead fucking sucks. Corgan has more talent in his left nut than Portishead has in their entire discog. Get over it dipshit.

There is nothing to be ashamed of for liking SP, nor is there for liking Portishead. I simply said I think they're overrated, they do not have many good songs. In my opinion.

Good taste? Not if he's dissing Portishead!

And Beth Gibbons solo side projects >>>> Billy Corgan's non-sp failures
