Best-of The Frames
The Frames are a band formed by former member of The Commitments (of Mustang Sally fame) Glenn Hansard. Hailing from Ireland, they have been around for many a year - their first album 'Another Love Song' being released in1992. Their music is very accesible but at the same time unique. No band I have heard in the past 15 years (with perhaps the exception of Jeff Buckley) has been able to drag emotions from the listener in quite the same way. Capable of intense beauty (Your Face, Headlong, Locusts), eloquent anger (Stars are Underground) and brilliant [i hate to use this term] pop-rock (Fake) the Frames deserve a lot more recognition than they currently get. And to that end I have compiled this ZIP file. There is a mixture of Live stuff and Album stuff, and where there are 2 versions of 1 song (for example, a live version and a studio version) I have put them both as the same number in the list.
They are a much underrated band, and deserve more attention and praise, because they have the ability to stir emotions in the listener that other bands only dream of reaching. Going to a Frames concert can leave the listener feeling exhausted yet energised. In all, the Frames are one of the most underrated bands I can think of, and are well worth a listen to.

Hi Dan.
Nice idea. I found a problem though with the download of the Frames compilation, it stopped at around 10%. Maybe you could use another download site like Rapidshare or MIHD? From my experience those two sites are OK, at least for me.
Thanks
