Godspeed You! Black Emperor

A Northern Chorus
Oingo Boingo
Glass Hammer
PJ Harvey
The Police (If you don't know them)
Fugazi (again, if you don't already listen to them)
 
Yeh I dont mind some Nick Cave stuff - 'Let Love in' is a good album,
Brian Eno is also alright - 'Taking Tiger Moutain my strategy' isnt a bad CD

Really? Okay.

The Velvet Underground.

Their debut, The Velvet Underground & Nico, is the godhead of all punk/alternative rock. It came out in 1967, and was produced by Andy Warhol.

Absolutely essential for the armchair rock historian....

quoted for truth....

next check out Iggy & The Stooges, very influential as far as the original punk movement goes (american and british alike movement alike). David Bowie's early material is amazing as well, being somewhat in the same vein as The Stooges and VU. The original glam scene in general (this means T. Rex, New York Dolls, Bowie, etc. NOT Poison or Cinderella or that lame bullshit) is a cesspool of creativity and rock-your-ass-ness.

Then check out Joy Division, a foundational "goth" band. Another extremely historical and influential bands and among many peoples favorite bands ever, with good reason.

honestly, i would just say do some research on glam rock, protopunk, postpunk, early goth music (siouxsie, early the cure, sisters of mercy), and the new york "CBGB scene" (devo, talking heads, patti smith, blondie, television, the ramones).

I can't understand how people can only listen to "just metal" or "just hardcore/punk" or only extreme music in general, and what also baffles me is that so many of those types think all there is besides metal is corporate rock like fall out boy or the all american rejects. There's so much good non-metal music out there, it's unbelievable, but you just have to look a little bit (which is nothing compared to tracking down obscure underground metal albums and info). Okay, I'm ending the post here. Ready? Okay, post over!

I've heard those, although to be fair I've only heard Brian Eno's ambient work and Velvet Underground's first album. And the Sigur Ros I heard was shit upon last hearing. I have it queued up for another listen, though.
