[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]My Bloody Valentine - "Only Shallow"
Radiohead - "Airbag"
Flaming Lips - "Lightning Strikes the Postman"

those come to mind.


anyway, I'm digging Radio Birdman, because they're reuniting, touring here, and putting out a new album.[/QUOTE]

Airbag is boring but I have heard "Lightning Strikes The Postman" and I agree.

Maybe MBV is the next step in my musical journey.

EDIT: I'm listening to a song I consider to be part of that group too: "198d" by At the Drive-In

vvvv Yeah I've heard OF them but that's about it.

[QUOTE=YDload]Lately I've been really into some songs that are really slow and soul-crushing, and heavy without being metal. Here are some examples:

Dino Jr- Thumb
Pavement- Grounded
Built To Spill- Carry The Zero (or maybe Randy Described Eternity)

So if you know any more songs in that vein, feel free to recommend them to me! As always, I still have much to learn about Alt/Indie music.[/QUOTE]
Have you heard of Big Black?

prurient 06-06-2006 05:24 PM

It's possible to dislike [I]Loveless[/I]? Lies.

prurient 06-06-2006 05:33 PM

:-\

Glitterati 06-06-2006 06:26 PM

...and For My 8,000th Trick....
 
...Sunny Day Real Estate - [I]Diary[/I]

I find it kinda dissapointing that Nate Mendel went from SDRE to something as crappy as the Foo Fighters :-\

[QUOTE=prurient]:-\[/QUOTE]

Don't listen to those guys, they know nothing about music.

Zebra 06-06-2006 06:40 PM

Ride- [I]Nowhere[/I]

The best shoegaze album evar.

YDload 06-06-2006 06:49 PM

prurient is dei ok ;)

Anyway I think I am changing my stance as far as the long songs on [i]Yank Crime[/i]. I thought they were all pretty boring but Luau has gotten my attention finally.

Zebra 06-06-2006 06:57 PM

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]except for [I]Loveless[/I] seriously have you missed this whole page[/QUOTE]

[I]Loveless [/I]blows:cool:

ATM 06-06-2006 07:05 PM

Loveless is good, yea, and Ride are also good.

Jawaharal 06-06-2006 07:09 PM

Loveless is awful, I really can't dig the vocals at all.

ATM 06-06-2006 07:10 PM

[QUOTE=Jawaharal]Loveless is awful, I really can't dig the vocals at all.[/QUOTE]

Eh, to each is own. Shoegaze is nice and relaxing, IMO.

Zmev 06-06-2006 07:25 PM

[I]Loveless[/I] ftw

Little Man being Erased 06-06-2006 07:51 PM

Bullshi[size=2]t[/size]. That album is awesome.

This is good news.

[QUOTE=DMD]Bruce Springsteen - [I]Nebraska[/I]

Yeah this is ****ty watered-down early Dylan. I'm disappointed.[/QUOTE]
Disagreed. This is one of those albums that doesn't get old for me. On par with anything Dylan did, imo.

YDload 06-06-2006 07:53 PM

if i wanted watered-down Dylan i'd listen to the velvet underground >:-}

sr800bkBassist 06-06-2006 07:59 PM

[QUOTE=YDload]if i wanted watered-down Dylan i'd listen to the velvet underground >:-}[/QUOTE]
hahahaha what?
i see no similarity whatsoever between Bob Dylan and the VU except that Lou Reed and Bob Dylan are my favorite lyricists.

ATM 06-06-2006 08:00 PM

Danger Doom - The Mouse and the Mask

Anything MF Doom is on, I seem to like a lot.

Little Man being Erased 06-06-2006 08:02 PM

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]maybe I'm missing something here but Nebraska really does not grab me at all. Eh.[/QUOTE]
It didn't hit me at first either. Give it a few more spins and see what happens.

Zappa 06-06-2006 08:11 PM

I hate [I]Loveless[/I].

pixiesfanyo 06-06-2006 08:14 PM

[QUOTE=Zappa]I hate [I]Loveless[/I].[/QUOTE]

Me too. Minus Sometimes which is one of the best songs ever written.

Luxor 06-06-2006 08:20 PM

It's a little too samey

prurient 06-06-2006 08:22 PM

[QUOTE=Zappa]I hate [I]Loveless[/I].[/QUOTE]
I hate you.

Zappa 06-06-2006 08:26 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]Me too. Minus Sometimes which is one of the best songs ever written.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure I've never gotten that far into the album. I'll play that song now.

Matt? 06-06-2006 08:28 PM

the van pelt a lot

members of native nod and greyhouse

this band is sickk native nod fans and grey house fans listen. they are good.

Matt? 06-06-2006 08:35 PM

they're awesome

chris leo is like a god

the a b c and d's of fascism is so sweet

Tangy zizzle 06-06-2006 08:58 PM

^Blasphemer!

The Drips
Amboy Dukes
Beat Happening
The Bronx - [I]II[/I]

Oh yeah, final word on MBV = they were (are?) overrated as hell. Jesus & Mary Chain are so much better.

Baudelaire 06-06-2006 09:06 PM

Siouxsie and the Banshees - [I]Kaleidoscope[/I]
I abuse my Siouxsie way to much. She never gets any 'spect.

cb240 06-06-2006 09:09 PM

Why do you dig like 15 different things a day DMD, why are you so ****ing indie?!!?

Tangy zizzle 06-06-2006 09:12 PM

Because if he gets enough indie points he'll win a George Forman grill man.

Anxious 06-06-2006 09:22 PM

[QUOTE=Zappa]I hate [I]Loveless[/I].[/QUOTE]
I'm with you on this.

Everything by them I like except that album.
