JWT155
11.23.10 | What Inveigh said. American Slang is great but a step below. I'd go with Sink or Swim then their EP and finish with American Slang. |

G3N3R1C
11.23.10 | I'm gonna go ahead and rec the new Kanye album. If only for the main reason that this site is currently masturbating over it, so you're going to be hearing a lot about it on here. Even if you don't like hip-hop, it's worth a listen. |
Dryden
11.24.10 | no its not |
whywontyoudie
11.24.10 | Trophy Scars. listen to them. |
Terrifyer
11.24.10 | "Not cool dude, my dad actually died of cancer."
pretty sure it was you who said "your dad died..." first
so stfu |
TheStefan
11.24.10 | to become one of us, you must listen to:
Thrice-Vhessiu, Illusion of Safety, Artist in the Ambulance
The Mars Volta- De-Loused in the Comatorium
Opeth- literally everything (and have a distinct opinion regarding the ranking of the albums so you can bicker about it with the rest of us)
At the Drive-In- Relationship of Command
The National- Alligator, Boxer, High Violet
Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Brand New- The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, Deja Entendu
Radiohead- Every album and again, have a distinct ranking of them so you can bicker along with us properly
La Dispute- Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair
Streetlight Manifesto- Everything Goes Numb
The Microphones- The Glow pt.2
Wu-Tang Clan- Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
The Weakerthans- Reconstruction Site
The Antlers- Hospice
Joanna Newsom- Ys
Death Cab for Cutie- Transatlanticism
Deerhunter- Microcastle, Halcyon Digest
Touche Amore- To the Beat of a Dead Horse
Refused- The Shape of Punk to Come
Tom Waits- Rain Dogs
Sufjan Stevens- Michigan, Illinois, Age of Adz, Seven Swans
more importantly than ever, you must listen to, and either have a deep hatred for, or an unbridled appreciaton for these two albums
Circle Takes the Square- As the Roots Undo
Converge- Jane Doe
if you do all of this, you will function on this site pretty well. All this site is are just a bunch of people who have opinions on these albums and love music. Basically, just be familiar with these albums and have a distinct stance on it. If you waver from your stance, these people will eat you alive. This site is kinda hostile to people who sway and/or don't know their shit.
Best of luck to you |
simba
11.24.10 | Generic, I actually just listened to the new Kanye awhile ago. I liked it. Thanks for that epic list Stefan. I am already quite obsessed with Death Cab and Sufan. I once tried to get into Opeth (during my porcupine tree phase) and couldnt really enjoy it. Maybs il try again, that was like two years ago. |
couldwinarabbit
11.24.10 | @Stefan ...most people have no idea who tom waits is let alone like him...which is really a fucking shame.
@Simba get everything stefan said.

sniper
11.24.10 | Sup simbaaaaaa |
americanmusicmachine
11.24.10 | i think a lotta people know who tom waits is. the guy has been in movies like as an actor. he was actually the best thing about 'wristcutters' by a lot. although that movie was kinda terrible so it ain't sayin' much but he was legitamatly great in it. pretty much the only memorable thing. well him and the black hole in that one guys car. |
patroneyes
11.24.10 | prepare for the unavoidable sodomy
startingggggggg.............................................................. now |
TheStefan
11.24.10 | i have had discussions about Tom Waits on this site. im just giving him advice on things he should be familiar with based upon my experience here. but i agree, he deserves more credit than he earns. he is a great songwriter with a unique sound and thats mostly what i look for in music |
Kimm
11.24.10 | Welcome to the site bro. I'm everyone's favorite user.
The Alchemy Index is fantastic btw. |
Kimm
11.24.10 | ...sorry dude, I think I scared everyone away from your list. |
fr33convict
11.24.10 | I'm everyone's favorite user you bitch. |
acorncheese
11.24.10 | yeah you've been here before |
Kimm
11.24.10 | I'll rock paper scissor you for it. |
acorncheese
11.24.10 | ^ we all hope you die actually |
fr33convict
11.24.10 | "I'll scissor you for it."
Sorry it's what I read. |
Terrifyer
11.24.10 | yeah stop making lists and die |
FatChickIrl
11.24.10 | you need more opeth |
fr33convict
11.24.10 | you need more opeth too |
Kimm
11.24.10 | Yep, 14. |
fr33convict
11.24.10 | COULD YOU TELL |
Kimm
11.24.10 | Little bit. |
omnipanzer
11.24.10 | Ok so I'm gonna go ahead and tell you what most of us feel.
Tom Waits is the shit. |
Josh D.
11.24.10 | We could fuck. |
omnipanzer
11.24.10 | @ TheStefan: never post again as that is the most preposterous list of shit I have ever seen. people should post what they like not post according to what you feel they should like.
@simba Post what you believe with good grammar and you will find a home here, or so i have been made to feel is the case in my short time at sputnik. |
omnipanzer
11.24.10 | @ Josh D, yes... yes we could you sexxy bitch |
Masochist
11.24.10 | Right...to take this way more seriously than I should:
***Thrice-Vhessiu, Illusion of Safety, Artist in the Ambulance
***The Mars Volta- De-Loused in the Comatorium
***Opeth- literally everything (and have a distinct opinion regarding the ranking of the albums so you can bicker about it with the rest of us)
***At the Drive-In- Relationship of Command
The National- Alligator, Boxer, High Violet
***Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
*****Brand New- The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, Deja Entendu
*****Radiohead- Every album and again, have a distinct ranking of them so you can bicker along with us properly
***La Dispute- Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair
Streetlight Manifesto- Everything Goes Numb
The Microphones- The Glow pt.2
***Wu-Tang Clan- Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
The Weakerthans- Reconstruction Site
The Antlers- Hospice
Joanna Newsom- Ys
***Death Cab for Cutie- Transatlanticism
Deerhunter- Microcastle, Halcyon Digest
Touche Amore- To the Beat of a Dead Horse
***Refused- The Shape of Punk to Come
***Tom Waits- Rain Dogs
Sufjan Stevens- Michigan, Illinois, Age of Adz, Seven Swans
Ones with *** are albums I own. And as for the *times5...'The Devil and God...' is the Brand New album I'm least familiar with, only own three Radiohead albums and haven't formed an opinion on 'Kid A', and Opeth...well, all I have are 'Still Life' and 'Ghost Reveries' and I enjoy them equally. Never heard 'As the Roots Undo'. Absolutely HATE Converge.
Also...wasn't aware that Death Cab was on the Sputnik Required Listening list...especially considering the curious omission of Between the Buried and Me, Elliott Smith, Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Deftones. Also, Sputnik has required Hip-Hop, one of which you included, but which also includes:
Nas - 'Illmatic'
Notorious B.I.G. - 'Ready To Die'
GZA/Genius - 'Liquid Swords'
ALL THAT BEING SAID...welcome to Sputnik. The best rule of thumb I can provide is this: Conformity is the easiest way to assimilate, the most common way to be shunned, and the fastest way to be hated. |
Masochist
11.24.10 | Because, you know, Sputnik is serious business and all.... |

11.24.10 | masochist just farted |

11.24.10 | I'll make it extra chunky just for you |
simba
11.24.10 | Lets say I was lazy and didnt have time to listen to an album right now. If you had to hook me on Opeth with one song what what you suggest? |
Heysatan
11.24.10 | don't bother with opeth bro |
DinoX
11.24.10 | Orly?
Well well there freshmeat looks like you'll be needing the following elitist bands that you are forced to like on this site:
Converge
Radiohead
Opeth
The National
Mewithoutyou
Brand New
At The Drive-In
However I highly suggest listening to Cold Not Loving by Kerouac because... it is godly amazing
etc etc |
