...Favorite Trip-Hop Band...

[BIGHURT35DH]

Most of you are probably saying to yourself "What the fuck is trip-hop?" , it's a downtempo version of electronica , usually with a female singer or no singer . I vote Sneaker Pimps , but only when Kelli Ali was the lead singer .

Wow. Tough choice. I own albums by all of them except for United Future Organization. If it were based purely on songs I'd have to go with Morcheeba. They have the best melodies of the bunch and vocally they are superior to the other bands mentioned. It's great Sunday afternoon music when chilling to kill off a hangover. If it's background ambience you want say while haveing a few drinks with the lights low, then I'd go with Theivery Corporation. Portishead are cool but a bit to up tempo for this poll in my opinion. Sneaker Pimps are cool but tend to sound dated to me. It just always sounds like late 90's and it never takes me away like the others do. Massive Attack are pretty dam cool(teardrop will always be amazing) but they seem heavy to me. Almost like their music could be the opening for a dj's set at a rave. Tricky's solo stuff is pretty cool as well. I'd say my favorite is Hooverphonic(not included in the poll) but for this poll I may just have to vote Theivery Coroporation. It's kind of a toss up between them and Morcheeba but Theivery Corporation tends to sound like the promise of things to come where as Morcheeba is the actual come down. Both very cool though. ha! Long answer. Sorry.

dont like the genre but i like its influences on alternative rock music...it translate better as something to dabble in IMO.

My favourite is Portishead,i think their lead singer Beth Gibbons has one of the most beautiful and touching voices that i've ever heard.."Only You" can melt anyone..

Then Massive Attack and Sneaker Pimps,i love Spin Spin Sugar..
