Massive Attack
Massive Attack have sold over 11 million copies of their
5 studio albums, and have won numerous awards throughout their 26 year
career, including Best British Dance Act at the Brit Awards, MTV Awards
and two Q Awards. In a poll conducted by New Musical Express (NME),
their single Unfinished Sympathy was voted the 63rd greatest song of all
time.
Shara Nelson provides vocals on this song, which is considered to be
an innovator in the trip hop genre. The song was later covered by Tina
Turner. It was the second single to be released from the bands album,
Blue Lines, in 1991, and achieved immense commercial success and
critical acclaim.
Their albums Blue Lines and Mezzanine have been included in the list
of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Times by Rolling Stone Magazine. The band’s musical style incorporates elements of distorted guitars, orchestral arrangements, looped basslines, and psychedelic inclusions.
If you’re visiting Los Angeles, there are so many other great things
that you can do as well. You could catch a glimpse of some big
celebrities as you stroll along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, or you could
enjoy the tons of rides on offer at Disneyland. You could also visit
Universal Studios , or alternatively, pop into Peterson Automotive Museum, which features more than 150 classic cars. Viewing these rare beauties up close will make you yearn to drive your dream car with Euro Palace casino, an online casino where players often get the chance to win real-world prizes, including luxury cars.
