06.07.17 | Please someone give me music to listen to!!!
obviously this list could change on any given day/mood but ya know |
Joeman82
06.07.17 | Always thought I Just Got This Symphony Goin's opening riff was better than 3. Still an amazing song though. |
verdant
06.07.17 | yeah it was a toss-up between FCP, that, or Act One Scene One. thought i'd go with the song that introduced me to TFOT. truth is though, that whole album is one massive riff after another |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Act One Scene One is my personal favorite from Doppelganger followed by Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles but yeah all the riffs rip. |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Also 4 is one of my favorite openers ever. |
AlexKzillion
06.07.17 | Huge props for 15 |
Demon of the Fall
06.07.17 | 3, 6 & 10
yes, yes & yes (although personally 'Tongues' is my favourite track from One Wing but 'First' is pretty sweet). Idioteque is my favourite Radiohead song. |
Rowan5215
06.07.17 | trail of dead needs some love on this site |
Demon of the Fall
06.07.17 | re ToD: I used to like 'em & now they don't do much for me :-( |
verdant
06.07.17 | thanks for the love dudes, i think i'm gonna add to this gradually or maybe keep making stuff like this. if you could recc me anything you think i may like based on this list i'd be grateful as fuck |
verdant
06.07.17 | row: have you heard Isis Unveiled? i agree tho
SCD: Ahhhh tongues is sick, but I had a hard time choosing between First and Speak. Somehow they wrote one of the most powerful 'hardcore' songs ever with just a piano and it's amazing |
Conmaniac
06.07.17 | good taste in music right here. recently rediscovered how good 6 is despite the fact I've stopped listening to Radiohead nowadays |
verdant
06.07.17 | cheers, con. likewise.
i've been on a radiohead binge recently and there are so many songs i could put in that spot. All I Need was probably the closest second although it really depends on the day |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | FACT-self titled
Between the Buried and Me-Colors
Fear Before-The Always Open Mouth
Kurt Travis-Everything is Beautiful
Defeater-Travels
Pianos Become the Teeth-The Lack Long After
Sikth-The Trees are Dead
Freddie Gibbs and Madlib- PiƱata
Danny Brown-XXX
Tried to give a sort of eclectic mix of recs |
verdant
06.07.17 | thanks man! haven't heard a few of these. love the danny brown and PBTT records in particular though. |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Yeah those are deff up there in terms of my favorites |
Chortles
06.07.17 | g00od list dude. you heard nicolas jaar before? not really similar to stuff here to be honest, but based on your reviews i've read and some ratings i think it might tickle your fancy. his latest album is a masterpiece in my book |
Sevengill
06.07.17 | The Moon Is a Dead World is fucking amazing. Freshest-sounding album ever. |
verdant
06.07.17 | thanks chortles!! will check
sevengill: so true dude, earth-shattering record |
Demon of the Fall
06.07.17 | 'Fear Before-The Always Open Mouth' (2)
If 'Relationship of Command' didn't exist this would be my favourite Post-Hardcore record, although to call it simply that would be doing it a disservice. |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Forgot Relationship of Command as a rec also in my top 5 post hardcore records |
Demon of the Fall
06.07.17 | 18 as well, nice...
You're on fire! |
verdant
06.07.17 | i'm checking it out. i've dodged this album accidentally for a while now so it's about time |
Joeman82
06.07.17 | Defeat Travels [2], that album is killer.
Maybe give A Lot Like Birds - No Place and letlive. - Fake History a listen as well. |
verdant
06.07.17 | have heard both of those Joe! No Place was one of my favourite records for a while and letlive. will always be one of those bands where I absolutely adore some of their songs, but really clash with others in a bad way |
dbizzles
06.07.17 | Some good shit on here. I caught Now, Now a few years ago and they were pretty great. I think they were opening for Kevin Devine, but I'm not sure. |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Oh also if you like Lorde give Fiona Apple a spin, my favorite of hers is When the Pawn |
Joeman82
06.07.17 | Well it's awesome to know you gave both a try man! No Place is just mind blowing and has been on the fringe of getting a 5 from me ever since the first listen. |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Joeman82 you listen to Kurt Travis's solo stuff? Everthing is Beautiful is a hidden gem |
verdant
06.07.17 | dbizzles: thanks man! love kevin devine too
Joeman: Agreed, it's an incredible album |
Joeman82
06.07.17 | I'll give it a listen asap DNS, love Kurt's voice to death |
gordy
06.07.17 | 4 is SUCH a great opener |
verdant
06.07.17 | very true. floored me the first time i heard it |
gordy
06.07.17 | listened to that album for the first time in forever other day falls off a bit after Life in Drag but still full of great songs |
dbizzles
06.07.17 | Damn, also haven't heard 7 in a few years. That album is pretty cool, but that song specifically is their best for sure. |
verdant
06.07.17 | best dear hunter record i think, although Act IV is close behind |
Joeman82
06.07.17 | Diving, you listen to a Hail the Sun album? If you like Circa you would probably dig them. |
verdant
06.07.17 | yeah joe! you've got great taste! i was contemplating whether or not i should put Human Target Practice on the list but i don't wanna make it too long so i think i'll keep it off. great band though ") |
Joeman82
06.07.17 | Human Target Practice, Falling on Deaf Ears, and Ow! (Splidao!) are just the best. I'm going to see them live next week and I'm super pumped. You have a pretty stellar taste too! |
verdant
06.07.17 | thanks man =] have heaps of fun |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Nice to see Circa added probably have to say Fever Dreams is my personal favorite |
verdant
06.07.17 | yah circa are great. i think i'll cap the list at 30 otherwise i'll get carried away |
dispid
06.07.17 | 6
!!!!!! |
hasan
06.07.17 | queens of stone good |
ZombieToyDuck
06.07.17 | Think I'm gunna take after you man and do a list like this. |
avery14th
06.08.17 | idioteque is objectively the best radiohead song so cool. although I'd probably pick different songs off of 3 and 16, and maybe 15 |
MyNameIsPencil
06.08.17 | pretty solid list tbh
check "Why I Like the Robins" by Hum |
DominionMM1
06.08.17 | 16 is a facemelter for sure |
butcherboy
06.08.17 | checked a bunch of stuff I haven't heard before from here.. nice one, Land.. |
Dewinged
06.08.17 | 14 is so soooooo good. It's my favorite Toe's song too. You should check the live version with Aco at Fuji Rock some years ago. Gospel is amazing too. |
verdant
06.08.17 | Pencil: cheers, and i'll have a look at Hum
Butcher: hope i could help ya find something you like!
Dewinged: Goodbye is amazing, that album is amazing, toe is amazing
DNS: looking forward to seeing it

Rowan5215
06.08.17 | lad I've heard every trail of dead song. century of self is mad underrated, bought it at Red Eye Records on a whim when I was like 13 cos the cover art was cool and it blew my mind. great introduction to the band/genre |
verdant
06.08.17 | yahhhh how good! my mum showed it to me funnily enough. i don't get why the rating is so low |
Drifter
06.08.17 | Nice one on 7 |
verdant
06.08.17 | i agree ")
ahahah thank you |
Rowan5215
06.08.17 | your mum is dope then. also shoutouts for Trial Kennedy and Children Collide. I'm guessing you're aussie? some amazing bands here that just fly under the radar |
Rowan5215
06.08.17 | FAAAAREWEEEEELL ROCKEEEEEEETSHIIIIIP |
verdant
06.08.17 | she's alright. and yeah i am! was always disappointed that those two bands never really took off because they were both amazing.
and "FAAAAREWEEEEELL ROCKEEEEEEETSHIIIIIP" was going to be my caption for that choice but decided it didn't really sell the song as well as i wanted ahahahah |
Rowan5215
06.08.17 | those two, Gyroscope, Elora Danan, Mammal all deserved to be as big or bigger than Karnivool/Birds of Tokyo are now but it just wasn't to be. fucking Boomtown curse
Loveless was one that always got me tearing up by them. unfortunately so many of their songs suffer from Children Collide syndrome (where the verse is amazing but the chorus sucks, or vice versa) but the ones that don't are straight classics |
verdant
06.08.17 | Loveless is so great, have you seen the MV for it? i'm never sure whether to laugh or cry
and Gyroscope was pretty big for a while but then they lost their touch i reckon |
Rowan5215
06.08.17 | yeah that's a classic vid. I can't help but get anxious anytime I watch it about what would've happened if he'd messed up halfway through the shot or something! you can't exactly wait for his hair to grow back then re-shoot
I guess, even their later albums have some classic songs (Snakeskin is one of the best pop rock songs of our time) but yeah it was those early EPs and Sound Shattering Sound that made a massive impression on me growing up. I think the seven year gap where they haven't broken up but also just haven't recorded anything has hurt them more than anything else |
verdant
06.08.17 | anxious is absolutely the right word ahahahah
i was definitely considering putting something from Are You Involved on here because that's what i grew up on. it's interesting to think about what kind of dent they'd make on the triple-j-tailored-electro-pop scene that dominates Australian music today, if they came back now |
BlushfulHippocrene
06.08.17 | Dude, Geometry and Theology is probably my favourite Milo song, nice. Have to check a lot of these, but all of it looks great. Props for Tim Minchin, too. |
verdant
06.08.17 | yah blushful it was difficult to choose between that, One Lonely Owl, and Objectifying Rabbits but i think i made the right choice
and tim is my idol. he's one of the most talented people alive today in my humble |
