blindside

i found out that theyre christian rock but youd never know it because their music is too damn good

ANTHRAX just listen to their new cd.... you'll see what I mean

Mother Love Bone

Type O Negative

Mad Sin

The Mars Volta / Thrice

Do yourself a favor and start listening to them.

Pick one? Remy Zero. Very underrated. Modern rock, mostly akin to Bends-era Radiohead, with a little U2 mixed in.

dead poetic... well maybe not i dont want them getitng big and i dont wanna hear "four wall blackmail" being played on mtv much like " the taste of ink", "what it is to burn", and "understanding (in a car crash)" was for their predocesseors.. however it would be nice to know more than 2 people who know about them that i can talk to about them...imo they are the best post-hardcore band wiht the exception of thursday

thursday - as i mentioned... they are probably the best post-hardcore band and even though "understanding (in a car crash)" got sum play on mtv and mtv 2 about a year or 2 back noone where im frome really listens to them too much

same with dead poetic... in fact they were label mates at one point blindside was on solid state with dead poetic

I just grabbed their new CD! I have liked Ween for a while, their Bannanas and Blow from Bonnaroo is awesome! go download it or buy Bonnaroo Vol. 1 you won't regret it

Oh and 2 bands I have only heard on Bonnaroo that were FANTASTIC are Galactic and Soulive if you like Jam / Jazz

EDIT: OH I JUST THOUGHT OF ONE!
G. Love and Special Sauce He is amazing! If you like Jack Johnson go buy Philadelphonic this instant!

Hey there fancy pants! :)

i want people to listen to us......

kalisto_911 ?? are you talking about the bonaroo dvd ??
or is it a live album?

PIG are really so much more than that. . . . In any case, you should all start listening to anything that Raymond Watts has been a part of, including some Einsturzende Neubauten, some KMFDM, PIG, Sow, Schwein. . . . . A good place to start is KMFDM Radio. Every other song is something Ray has worked on, and the ones that aren't are still jam-packed with industrial goodness. Check it out.

coheed and cambria... you just have to love this band... really...

Since no one is going the wierd and sexy route, guess I better do it myself!

Dead Can Dance
Massive Attack

Jdoe

Best post ever!

Milk Milk Lemonade

this band is a great NZ outfit consistanting of three really talented and baked Auckland dudes.

King Crimson. Maybe thats just because they influenced both my favorite bands, NIN and Tool, but they are really great. They have lots of different styles, because they split up/got back together multiple times, each time with different members and a disticntly different style. 21st Century Schizoid Man definetly doesn't sound like it was from over thirty years ago. But also i would have to seccond Dredg. they are great

My one pick would be.....Soul Coughing. Self described as "Deep slacker jazz."

Pacifier aka Shihad. See my first journal entry for more info.

OZMA. OZMA. OZMA.

The Lords of Acid (sexual techno), Gaelic Storm (really, really good Irish band), and Stept On (local band from central PA).

Society 1

my friends uncle is the guitarist....they fucking rule

The Tragically Hip.... my favourite band, but pretty much unknown outside of Canada.

someone said Blindside, i second that!

I would say Ra, but i have a feeling that they are the type of band that went straight to mainstream, and will be big fairly soon (if not already)
but yea, Ra is really good, dl some of their stuff

The Libertines.
Dirty Vegas

Here are a few:

The Anniversary..check out Her Majesty...
Calla...moody and dark (shoegazer music)
The Decemberists
Broken Social Scene

WEEN mother fucker WEEN

"There's BATTLE scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me anyway..."

Sends chills down my spine. Good band.

:thumbsup:

Stoned Grace

Heard em. They ain't bad at all. Thats the band everyone hates Evanescence for. They say they've(Evan) completely ripped them(Lacuna) off. As far as I've heard the only similarity is they both have a female front man. I also hear the 2 band are from the same area aren't they? Well whatever.

I also agree with Dredg and Talib Kweli, Kenna as well(I have the CD it's pretty good but he techno'd it out a lot cause of Chase Chad of the Neptunes handling the production) but since I have to pick one band I'll pick

Silverchair

I'll probably be the only one to pick them too but I think their latest CD is far too good for it to get as slept on as it has. I also would like people to check out Ours and Haven as well. Those 2 are pretty good.

Asta!!

Portishead

good call KWSN.

but its spelt Hi 5.
http://kidscentral.mediacorptv.com/c...s/hi5alive.jpg

their music is perhaps a little young for me...
and Tim and Nathan are a bit camp for my liking as well... but i do appreciate their talent.

look out England, they´re on their way.

Rx Bandits, Thrice, Mr. Lif

Hawkeye is my hero! A reference to Neil Gaiman and the love of Saviour Machine; how much cooler can you get? For those of you who don't know, these guys have been working on a project called Legend which spans four cds and covers the entire end of the world. Absolute genius!

ii listen to them. they're awesome! i even made a band page for my web design class once.


i would say dream theater

ok umm... how does any australian band sound??


if i had to pick one i would say the butterfly effect

if i could pick 2 i would say grinspoon aswell

<a href="http://www.mellowdrone.com">m e l l o w d r o n e</a>. definitely mellowdrone.

ben kweller and the moldy peaches, great music from both of them

Iced Earth so they'll play my town.

Jimmy Barnes

Bela Fleck and the Fleck Tones.

Victor Wooten is a bass virtuoso, quite possibly one of the best that has ever lived. Bela is a genius on the banjo, Jeff is a wind horn god and Futch... well he is just bizarre, but brilliant in his own way. He plays an instrument he invented and custom made which he calls a synth axe or drumitar. It's a series of synthesized percussion sounds incorporated into a electric guitar frame. Instead of strings he has a bunch of buttons he manipulates to generate his sound. The band has no drummer. Just Futch, who generates the sounds and rythms of an entire percussion section with a few of his fingers.

Amazing. Simply amazing. If your into talent or just appreciate gifted musicians, these guys will blow you away.

-bear

Just one band?

Allright, since Opeth is allready mentioned I'll have to go with Catharsis, an American metal/hardcore band. Their destructive anti-establishment and self searching lyrics are just incredible and fit so well with their near blackmetal and hardcore mix. The music is so destructive, but it also has a strange beauty thats hard to describe... While it truely describes the darkest sides of our society and our own existence, it also shows that there is still hope. It really is exactly what the name of the band says, a catharsis.

Too bad they're on a hiatus at the moment, and I doubt they'll ever come back togeather again, but you can still check them out on:

www.oddshaped.com/catharsis

Bad Religion..

what do u know thursdays new single cam out and everyone is a fan...

trans am - ambiant- drum and bass -alt rock .... so awesome

postal service - awesome shit there to but most ppl here listen ot them already

Hell yeah! I saw them a while ago, while Matt was still in the band. Amazing time.

In Flames was there too, great stuff.

Modest mouse

the screaming trees

gotta love mark laneghan

old, not around any more, but FEAR FACTORY is still awesome

The Mavericks

yeah i agree fear factory kicks ass, its a shame that they broke up. missed out on seeing them play here just before thye broke up. pissed i missed it.

Reverend Horton Heat rocks

Yes battlemouth! THE MOLDY PEACHES! They're incredible. Everyone needs to hear them.

I also have to agree with all you Bright Eyes fans.

Who said Bright Eyes now?

I fucking love Bright Eyes, I'll have to agree with them... and Desparecidos as well...

Cursive ain't bad either.

And.... another nod for the Moldy Peaches

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

I also love Modest Mouse, I feel like I'm the only person who's ever heard of them. Good choice.

Sorry about the double-post folks, I really should read the thread first. Heh.

Incubus
The white stripes

I'll have to add Nashville Pussy. This is what happens when Lynrd Skynrd and AC/DC spawn.

here is a small list!

shotgun idols
pendergast
federation of horsepower
descension
throttlers
lust-r-tones
earl
porterhall
moire
iron guts kelly
rex hobart
steve earle

Dredg. Number one recommendation from me. Kudos to those who said them already.

A few others, if interested: Interpol, Kings of Leon, Mogwai, Pete Yorn.

desaparecidos rokc hard

I've heard the same thing said about a band called Jet

MOFsquadron (9:59:35 PM): http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/hipho...re_On_High.mp3
MOFsquadron (10:02:53 PM): Electric Light Orchestra homie
MOFsquadron (10:02:58 PM): Some a the best ever.

MOFsquadron (10:58:16 PM): Awesome
regardlesstet (10:58:17 PM): from australia ..think ac dc meets lynard skynard
MOFsquadron (11:00:35 PM): Good mix

Asta!!

Evanescence

Millencolin
Rancid
Saves the day
Thursday
The Used

I know it said only one....but it's to fucking hard to choose just one

Everyones already listening to Evanescence

Asta!!

Heh. Saw them in concert with Opeth.
Lacuna Coil is a joke.

They are what 5 or 6 band members, all dressed in trench coats with their hair braided like nu metal idiots.
The 3 guitarists or 4 or whatever just stood there, played a few notes every once and a while and seems like half of the music was pre recorded.
And now they are on the radio? ACK.

You want an amazing band eh? Just so happens I have one for you.

Agalloch, hailing from Portland, Oregon.

Sort of a post - black metal band, with some folk and other musical traits.
You've got your screams, and your mix of clean, emotional singing.
Each song is unique in its own way, but ties back into the other songs.
3 members, yet the greatest sound I have heard in years.
John Haugm writes all the lyrics (which are amazing by the way) and composes all the songs.

i can tell that jet are fucken great. they are a mix of the beatles, the stones acdc and a lot of other bands around that time which they have as big influences. they supported the stones when they toured australia. would have loved to have seen that

Interpol. Thats another one.

Blindside.

Radiobox -- a local band here in Phoenix. They're awesome! www.radiobox.com

or Stuckmode -- they just moved to LA, incredible band!

I envy you. Matt was great but Ripper sounds ok from what I've heard.

Jet are freaking exploding on MTV2 right now... their video is pretty much every 4th one played...

They're pretty good... but I just can't get over the fact that they sound WAYYYYY too much like The Who (their current hit 'Are You Gonna Be my Girl' pretty much is the same as 'My Generation'). They lose a few originality points for that but overall I've liked what I heard.

A better (in my opinion) retro-style band out there these days is OK Go. They had a decent hit with Get Over It some months ago. They're excellent.

modest mouse

every song is magical, no joke

and neutral milk hotel, jeff mangum being one of the best songwriters Ever (period)

Coheed and Cambria
the new Brand New
The Reunion Show

30 Seconds to Mars

I honestly wish more people would start listening to Porcupine Tree. Seriously, with more exposure, these guys could have become the next Pink Floyd.
Go check out In Absentia, you'll thank me later.

Damn right it is...

One of the few bands who I've given the honor of listening to while I had sex

I got few songs from the band OK Go that were really kick ass. gotta check them out some more

Pavement

A phenomenal band that never got the respect or credit they deserved.

To go along with pavement: Pedro the Lion, Built to Spill

this is definately one of my favorite bands and this is a great album.
http://www.resonance-online.com/illustr/remy1.jpg

I've really liked what I've heard. Which album's the best starting point?

Mm-hmm.

As for my pick:

The Dismemberment Plan

Remy Zero
Sky Cries Mary
David Gray
Coldplay
Jewel
Radiohead
Deftones
Counting Crows
Ben Folds Five
Modest Mouse
Sunny Day Real Estate
Norah Jones
Bob Marley

DJ/Producers:
Oakenfold
Paul Van Dyk
Donald Glaude
DJ Dan
John Kelley
Zacharia
DJ Dara
BT
ATB
Joshua Ryan

I second The Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy.

Stuart Hamm. Bass virtuoso, and a hell of a musician.

Just got finished trying to listen to Glassjaw and The Mars Volta. Of Glassjaw, I tried Siberian Kiss, Convectuoso and Cosmopolitan Bloodloss. I recognize the artistry, but not for me. Of Mars Volta, I tried the Bach Song (tape looping != music) and Wasting My Air (because he was making such good use of it. Not.)

Sorry folks, I wanted to like them, but, if one is going to scream when singing, one needs to scream land sing at the same time, ala Bruce Dickinson, not just howl like a skillsaw ripping plywood.

Incidentally, Maiden Rulez!

And a third for Reverend Horton Heat.

Mastodon
Brainiac
the Blood Brothers
Clem Snide
Mr. Lif
Superchunk
We Ragazzi
!!!

etc.

None. I'm a selfish asshole. You can have Opeth though if you dont already know of them.

the band "CKY", enough said, theyre out to change music, "cky will take over the name of rock and roll and piss on its face, i promise." -chad i ginsburg

face it, music today, SUCKS. industries are forcing this horrible crap down your throat, nobody knows better. critics, bands, the whole industry is pathetic. its not just about CKY's music, its about what they stand for in the music industry.
INFILTRATE.DESTROY.REBULD. roCK on.

Eh i've never heard those 2 songs i guess they must be on the Tremulant EP. Try songs off Deloused In The Comatorium

Good ones are..Inertiatic ESP, Eriatarka, Roulette Dares..almost everything on this album rocks.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS!!

Jed's a Millionaire

I was not able to read this full thread...so if I repeat a band, please forgive me.

At this point..for "newer" bands, I totally recommend Hot Hot Heat.

Gwendolyn Speaks...acoustic, sort of folky. Good stuff.

Explosions In The Sky
Analog
Between The Buried and Me
Amber Asylum
K-OS
CurlUpAndDie
Blood Has Been Shed
Murder By Death

mojave 3

Wow...someone else likes Amber Asylum. I have only seen them live, but have never found a CD to buy.

Maroon 5. good stuff, for real. And I don't even typically listen to this "type" of music. But I bought the cd and it's awesome.

explosions in the sky
the decemberists

if you like mogwai, then you'll be blown away by EITS, in my opinion, the better group. "the only moment we were alone" off of "earth is not a cold dead place" is beautiful, so so beautiful.

the decemberists are probably a deal more popular than EITS. they're good. castaways > her majesty btw
