[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Whats wrong with No Doubt?[/QUOTE]

I think it depends on the song. Some of their songs have been badly, badly overplayed, and those aren't fun to get into your head.

Muse
Black Sabbath
Pantera

[QUOTE=Medopalis]I'm really getting into Muse at the moment, but I only have Absolution. What album of theirs should I get next? Origin of Symmetry?[/QUOTE]

Get [I]Showbiz[/I] . It's my favourite Muse album by far. [I]Origin of Symmetry[/I] Has some really good tracks, but it also has a few weaker ones, and [I]Showbiz[/I] is a better album overall ... by far.

My fav. bands right now are... The Killer, love them, songs include Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, Jenny was a friend of mine... Metric, yes i know their cd has been out for a bit but i just got into them, songs include Combat Baby, Succexy, Wet Blanket....

captain_mauve 07-22-2004 02:32 PM

Personally, The Mars Volta have been what i've been listenin to mostly. I bought De-Loused in the Comatorium and i LOVE it. Its a ****ing fantastc album, and i love the way it all just flows together. Jet and Franz Ferdinand have been up there too, and so have Turin Brakes, and reckon everyone should check out all of the following albums:

The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium
Jet - Get Born
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Turin Brakes - Ether Song

Bleach (the classic $600 Nirvana album, on which they didn't even get Cobain's name right)

Thanks for that...

Past couple of days I've checked out:

The Dance Disaster Movement, and they are cool. I'd rather listen to Gang of Four or !!!, but they are a decent enough band.

The Dismemberment Plan. Cool band. I like their approach to music, it's refreshing.

I've also rediscovered Fiery Furnaces. Their new one, [I]Blueberry Boat[/I] is great. It's like [I]Gallowsbird Bark[/I] (?) but improved on the weaker areas. Tighter songwriting, better craftsmanship and they've extended alot of the songs, a couple little rock-opera's in there. I definately recommend it.

I've been into Snakefinger, Gang Of Four, Franz Ferdinand, Sonic Youth (I just bought the DVD yesterday and I love it), and Bad Brains is what is currently taking up my stereo's airwaves.

Excellent, Nacho and I have rubbed off on you ;)

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Excellent, Nacho and I have rubbed off on you ;)[/QUOTE]

A little bit, yeah.....who am I kidding. Alot.

Tangy zizzle 07-23-2004 05:00 AM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]I'm thinking of picking up [i]Blueberry Boat[/i]. I've seen nothing but praise.

Anyways, what I've been listening to:

*I have [i]Singles[/i] by the Smiths, so now I'm getting all the albums. I love [i]Meat is Murder[/i] ("Headmaster Ritual" is their best song ever) but [i]The Queen is Dead[/i] is disappointing. Aside from the title track, the only other good songs on the album are already on [i]Singles[/i], so there's no point.

*[i]Laughing Stock[/i] by Talk Talk is amazing (props to nosferatu_man). It's similar to Sigur Ros as far as long, minimalist, orchestral songs, but with more emphasis on the vocals.

*[B][i]Peace Love Death Metal[/i] by the Eagles of Death Metal is pretty good, but I can't figure out if it's legitimate or a guilty pleasure.[/B]

*I dug out my copy of [i]Let it Be[/i] by the Replacements, loved it again, got [i]Tim[/i] and [i]Pleased to Meet Me[/i], and loved them too. Everyone needs to check out the Replacements; Paul Westerberg was one of the most brilliant 80's alternative songwriters.[/QUOTE]

It's a very legit album. It's just not as serious as you expect it to be, thats why I love it. That's the appeal. It's good time music, it's not very challenging but thats what's great about it... To [I]me[/I] anyway.

Oh yeah, definately check [I]Blueberry Boat [/I] out, it is superb. Close to top album of the year for me.

br3ad_man 07-23-2004 06:15 AM

I think it's a great fun, feelgood album. I often listen to the cover of "Stuck In The Middle With You" in the car. My Mum loves it.

I've been into U2 lately after watching their DVD. I've also gotten back into the Smashing Pumpkins alot after seeing their videos DVD.

pixiesfanyo 07-23-2004 06:22 AM

I've been into the Dillinger Escape Plan lately..Because of their new cd..yay!

Tapeworm 07-23-2004 06:37 AM

I've been into Refused lately. And some old Hives.

Clawdaddy 07-23-2004 10:07 AM

Hi, this is my first post.

Anyway, I just got MBV's Loveless and I've listened to it 15 times in 4 days. It's just that good. :cool:

I also picked up the new album by the Cure which is pretty good and Absolution which is also awesome, but I like Origin of Symmetry and Showbiz better.

Tangy zizzle 07-24-2004 12:06 AM

Checked out The Replacements.

So far I've found them over-hyped, but good nonetheless.

Tangy zizzle 07-24-2004 08:00 AM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]They're only overhyped because of me :p[/QUOTE]

Yargh, 'tis true.

br3ad_man 07-24-2004 07:04 PM

I've been listening to Elliot Smith a lot after buying the Good Will Hunting soundtrack, where he appears a lot.

zaplan 07-24-2004 08:05 PM

To encompase the range, I've been digging Evol, most anything by Dinosaur Jr., Electric Ladyland, Agharta, On the Corner, and I really like Kid A.

one small suggestion though, not to knock your choices, but try to focus on one or two at a time first to truly appreciate each one. dealing with that many bands youre sure to miss something each one has to offer.

OrbDragon 07-26-2004 04:19 PM

I'm listening to alot of dEUS and Trail Of Dead...two great alternative rock bands.

Other great stuff is Motorpsycho...people are really missing out on this band...check out "The Golden Core".

Also....

...

Damien Rice! The Professor is my new favorite song of his...I'm only listening to it for the first time. Wow.

ZEROthirtythree 07-26-2004 04:27 PM

Opeth


Yeah, I'm finally starting to dig death metal.

Zappa 07-26-2004 04:32 PM

Hoggboy.

Good garage rock band.
