The new Boards of Canada album is incredible.
 
How anyone could not like Velvet Underground or Sonic Youth is beyond me.

edit: I agree about the new BoC album.
 
Yes , you have good tase, and I do consent that more space should be given to these bands , but this still is is a metal forum, even though coincidentallty at this moment, I am listening to Joy Division (the best depression band ever, great tip)
 
good stuff. Going with the pop/punk thing, I reccommend the dismemberment plan, and sort of inspired by that is also radiohead, and the new NIN cd leans heavily in that direction as well. Can is also really sweet. From those bands, check out change, hail to the theif, with teeth, and tago mago. Roxy music also owns, check out the reunion tour CD. They used to have Eno in their band. My life in the bush of ghosts by eno and byrne is very cool. All of this type of music is what I think of as alternative rock, even though that originally meant grunge. A whole world of that stuff out there. Cheers to the tastes of the original poster.

edited to add - I wish all those dipshits who think if you listen to metal, you should ONLY listen to metal would fuck off, or grow up or something.

Wouldn't that be nice ? I've noticed a lot of open-minded metal fans like ourselves around here - but also a lot of those elitist Metal-Is-The-Only-Genre-That-Matters assholes ... they need to be slapped , methinks :cool:

Diversity and experimentation are what keeps music alive . If everyone stuck to just one type of music all the time everything would end up sounding the same . You need a variety of influences and styles to be truly inspired to create great music , I think . But unfortunately there will always be those assholes there to shit all over your tastes because they have puny minds and nothing better to do . I try to ignore them - maybe if they don't get a reaction they'll finally shut the fuck up :D
 
To me, it really is a lot like food: I definitely love Vietnamese food, but I still want to eat plenty of other kinds....
 
Your list fucking rocks man. Joy Division is my favourite there. Ian Curtis' lyrics are fucking awesome. That reminds me, I have a huge Joy Division poster in my room.
