The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

Just snagged my first Cure album and it's sitting pretty well with me so far. Today was the first snow of the year and the skies are completely gray outside, and it's working well with the atmosphere. Favorite so far:

 

[no country for old wainds]

i much much prefer early cure, esp. pornography

Unable to satisfy my jazz Obsession with mere Guitar, I went and got this today

Hopefully I can play some classic Miles Davis/ Ron Carter tunes with this badboy

also, digging Nosaj Thing right now

 

[Einherjar86]

And Einjerhar, wherever you are, thanks for mentioning Man's Gin. Listened to the full length and its fantastic.

Yeah, it's a great record.

[Badbird]

My non metal tastes are somewhere between No Country's, Einherjer's and that dude that likes hardcore.

I thought Man's Gin was hit and miss. I love what they are trying to do, but the vocals honestly need to be stronger throughout. Nuclear Ambition is the clear highlight of the record. Hopefully Wunder becomes a better singer in the near future.

I've been really enjoying Nick Drake and Jackson C. Frank today. 60s and 70s singer/songwriter stuff. Both singers lived tragic lives but made some awe-inspiring music.

This video is from Daft Punk's movie Electroma, and the imagery of the man on fire really fits if you are familiar with Frank's biography--he was severely burned at age 11 when a furnace in his school exploded and engulfed the place:



And some Nick Drake stuff:

 

[zabu of nΩd]

^ Fuck, I just listened to Five Leaves Left for the first time today. The song I remember best is River Man, that was fucking incredible.

 

[Death Aflame]

Yeah Five Leaves Left I think is my early favorite of his. So good.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

 

[panzerfaust666]

Nick Drake is unbelievable. It was actually Brad Mehldau who turned me on to his music, and I am thankful to say the least.

I've known about ND forever just from people associating Opeth's soft music with him, but never got interested in listening until I'd read about him from a few other places. It does appear as though Opeth ripped an inordinate number of ideas from him (as well as from Camel). Makes me wonder how many other bands Opeth are derivative of.

 

[damnromulans]

Rodrigo y Gabriela. Perfect music to put on while cooking.

 

[mutantllama]

so who here likes Jefferson Airplane
