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

Cult Of Youth have been described as a cross between The Pogues and Death In June...fairly accurate i'd say.

 

[Ov Wulf]

Absolutely. Cult of Youth has really gotten me to explore other bands of the same vein in a big time.

Love that album.

 

[Einherjar86]

Holy shit, never listened to Cult of Youth. I love it.

I'm not one for hip-hop, but I really like this guy:

I can't get enough of Jeff Buckley, I can only dream of having a voice like his.



edit: On a side note, why do the best musicians always have to kill themselves?

Fuck, that's an awesome live version, never seen that one before.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

It's unbelievable how spot on his voice is. The 30 second long falsetto scream near the end is one of the most spine chilling musical moments that I have ever experienced.

 

[Satanstoenail]

This is pretty much the point in the conversation where I have to mention that I saw him live on the Grace tour and yeah it was one of the best things I've ever seen.

I almost cried when I heard he died. Such a waste. And such a shame he never completed his second album.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Jesus, that has to be the coolest thing I have heard in a long time.

Him and Elliott Smith both, but at least Elliott had the chance to write a big chunk of music before his passing. It's disappointing too because Sketches, especially the unfinished songs, really had the potential to top Grace. I actually gave Sketches my first full listen today and thought to myself, "This has to be some of the weirdest music I have ever heard", and then I found out that it was barely half finished. Musicians like him don't come around often enough.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Most of the Sketches stuff was to be binned as he wasn't happy with how it was going. He drowned when they had just gotten together again to re-record it.

Are you familiar with Ours? Jimmy Gnecco hasn't offed himself yet. Saw them live. Such incredible pipes!

I love this chick's (from Berlin) voice. This is a bit repetitive though, but still cool.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Gets interesting along the 2:00 mark

 

[Satanstoenail]

I like this. Sounds kinda like Radiohead with more balls.

 

[Chimaera]

Ever since playing the Silent Hill HD Collection (it's really not as bad as everyone says), I've been listening to a lot of Akira Yamaoka. Thinking of getting the Silent Hill 1-4 soundtracks. His work really "clicks" with me.

 

[Vimana]

Akira Yamoaka's guitar pieces are so damn moving. I think this one is my favorite.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Intelligent hiphops

 

[Personified Hatred]

Anyone likes Blackmore's Night?

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I cant stop listening to these live performances
