[QUOTE=Schyma]About the Mars Volta: Have heard their new album? Would they be considerd "Trip-Hop"?[/QUOTE]
i have heard their new album and its very good. i dont know about trip hop. i would classify them more as modern prog with an edge of emo. but the emo only comes from their singer. their new album is very experimental though. cant wait to see them live but i have to wait until may.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]The lead singer from the Killers is very annoying, IMO.

Modern Bands
------------------
Jam Bands
Wilco
Polyphonic Spree
Flaming Lips[/QUOTE]
he can get a bit obnoxious but i actually enjoy his voice most of the time.

Mars Volta come from the emo band At the Drive In. Though the Mars Volta themselves contain very, very few elements of emo, if not none.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]You are way off. And you call yourself a Psychedelia fan.

The Flaming Lips and The Polyphonic Spree (Featured in my avatar) are two of Neo-Psychedelia's top bands.[/QUOTE]
I know I hear people say that but when I listined to them I was EXTREMLY diappointed. I want to hear this band. (The Polyphonic Spree) Sample?

Okay, I will post [B]another[/B] one!!! You have not heard enough Flaming Lips either.

The one I will post will not be as Psychedelic as songs from there first album, but most like it. Remember, be opened minded. You probably have not heard any band like this. They're original.

What Flaming Lips songs do you recommend Badmoon?

I heard[I] Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots[/I] half way though I shut it off and the next day I sold it.

Some good ones
--------------------
Turn it On
She Don't Use Jelly
Race for the Prize
Fight Test
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Do You Realize
Bad Day

But if you're looking for one, download "Fight Test". Everyone loves that song.

As for the Spree. The closest band or thing you can relate to them are the makers and music of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Umphrey's McGee is my least favorite Jam Band.

I listen to more Zappa then Beefheart.

My dad saw Zappa/Beefheart live.

I love that Radiohead song. Its so dreamlike.

Yea, incredible song. Did you check out the others?

I definatly will once I get off this school computer and onto mine. This thing is too difficult to hook headphones to :(

Sounds good, let me know what you think.

Anyone like Rooney? They could be comparable to the Beach Boys. They could land on our list of modern bands that have a classic rock sound.

I'm a drummer, so that is cool. How do Wuhans sound? They are so cheap that I figured they would be terrible, but I've heard good things about them.

I got a Creative Zen Player today, along with CSN - s/t and Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.

Rooney are like The Strokes to me. Pretty plain and irrelevant.

Rooney > The Strokes

Rooney is painfully mediocre.

the china sounds very nice. i like the splash too but its not for everybody. a bit gongier than a splash should sound perhaps. overall it was a really good deal. both for 55 us including shipping from musicians friend. also, will you send me blue light rain?

the strokes > rooney
