Except two of the most uplifting songs I know were done by Radiohead. Street Spirit can pick me up all the time and is fantastic live.

Radiohead can no doubt be uplifting and for myself I find the work saddening yet hopeful, yet as good as uplifting can be, it's not as much fun as a rowdy uptempo Metallica song. The thing is that sometimes you can be in the mood for both, one or the other.

Mark, you need anti-depressants if Street Spirit picks you up  That said, a great melancholy 'lift' can be achieved by listening to music even if the tone is sombre - mine is Soundgarden's Fell on Black Days |

The Metallica singer's voice just annoys me. Does it ever vary?

Well one band is viewed as geniuses and the other is some kind of monster.

miserablists are always perceived as being more artistic..it's the lens thru which they are viewed ;-)

This talk makes me sad because it reminds me of the last Metallica single and the documentary. I wish the song was better than it is, but the documentary is great family viewing.  |

The movie made me sad...it was like watching Spinal Tap - made me laugh until I remembered theses guys weren't acting out a satirical script.

Hurrah - Metallica are doing a world tour! Saw them last year in Dublin and they were mental (in a good way).
Bends and OK were great albums from Radiohead, but everything since has been over my head. REM did the same thing after Automatic For The People. It's like they reach a point where they wake up and realise they've become super-successful and almost feel guilty about it. So they excrete an experimental album or two to balance things out. This alienates most of the mainstream following they had built up with their popular album, but gets back the student support.
Smacks of pretentious wankers to me. Can I say wankers here?
