Anyway, thanks!

I was referring to BurningWitch's John Lennon avatar Welcome to you , too - although I think I already said that in your n00b thread ...

[AlphaTemplar]

Nice taste, brotha. May I reccomend:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
On Fire
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)

 

[Dän]

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

 

[Fredy_Brown]

I agree with Alpha Templar on Godspeed You! Black Emperor, great stuff.

 

[Bungle]

Ween - Only have 12 Golden Country Classics or whatever, which is great, but I want their other stuff, too

Proceed to your closest record store, pick up The Mollusk, thank me later.

*vampiress_vikki*

 

[Bungle]

The Pogues

I'll be seeing them for the first time in two weeks! I've seen Shane solo and I really hope he's a little more sober this time. He was a mess.

 

[Teh Grimace]

Oh, he won't be. Not a chance.

It's not so much a question of Shane being a mess, Shane just is a mess.

He's still the king, though.

 

[Bungle]

Haha, I agree. I just hope I can hear something out of his mouth other than "if i can fall frubble geee grace ofgoooble....."

 

[Kenneth R.]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Interpol
Björk
Sigur Rós
Sonic Youth
Talking Heads
Velvet Underground

quality.

 

[Dee Snarl]

damn i never heard of any of those bands... can anyone tell me which one is the best?

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....

 

[Darkend Shadow]

Nick cave is an absolute genious, he writes his music from the heart, and what a dark heart it is, wouldnt mess with him

 

[Perdition's Light]

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!

 

[Miss*Li]

I'm just going to say the bands I like from the list previously presented.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Broken Social Scene (The stuff I know)
Joy Division (some stuff)
Bjork
Iggy & The Stooges

Brian Eno
Bjork
Sigur Ros
Iggy & The Stooges
Velvet Underground

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.
