| A Year On Sputnik
A year ago, I created my account, I really love this site, it has teached me a lot about music and new awesome bands, and yes, even though the community is full of douchebags, I'm starting to think, that they're actually nice. Here's a list of the best 10 bands that I discovered thanks to this site through this year | | 1 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas...
Yeah, I know, they're like the most mainstream thing on this site, but I didn't know nothing about them nor post-rock. I really love the atmosphere of their albums, it's depressive, but at the same time gives me hope to carry on on life | | 2 |  | Renaissance
Turn of the Cards
Now this is an aweome band, Annie Haslam's voice has to be one of the greatest ever, classic songs like Mother Russia, Ashes are Burning or A Trip to the Fair are an incredible mix of prog rock and symphonic music, these guys are the proof that music is the most beautiful art on earth | | 3 |  | Nick Drake
Five Leaves Left
Just like GYBE, it seems like he's a god on sputnik but I didn't know about him until I joined, his music is so simple yet beautiful, he's voice is full of soul and his lyrics are nothing but impressive, I seriously think this guy might be more than Dylan | | 4 |  | Budgie
Never Turn Your Back on a Friend
I thought I knew all the good heavy metal bands from the 70's, but this weird mix of Rush and Black Sabbath has surprised me a lot, fantastic riffs, incredible bass-work and great vocals. Breadfan, Parents, Napoleon Bonarparte, awesome songs, their first 5 albums are just great | | 5 |  | Strawbs
Hero and Heroine
Great mix of prog and folk, Hero and Heroine shows in its epic (one of the greatest songs I've heard): Autumn, how they can go from a dark, depressive atmosphere to beautiful ballads keeping the awesome lyrics all the time | | 6 |  | Diamond Head
Lightning to the Nations
Their first album is by far one of the best albums in the NWOBHM, Sean Harris voice is incredible and there's no doubt why they were so influential with such an epic guitar work, songs like Helpless are just soooo good | | 7 |  | Agalloch
The Mantle
Another big band on this site that I didn't know until I joined, I could've 5'd The Mantle because it has a great atmosphere, and excellent instrumental work and epic lyrics, its just perfect, but I'm just not used to these kind of vocals yet | | 8 |  | Harmonium
L'Heptade
I don't really understand the lyrics, because I don't speak french, but they sound extremly well, awesome, relaxing prog that doesn't need epic guitar solos to be good, the flutes, the synthetizers, it's great, I think I prefer L'Heptade over Si on Avait... but the community thinks different I think | | 9 |  | The Enid
In the Region of the Summer Stars
I still need to listen to a lot of their albums, but from what I've heard, it's great: atmospheric instrumental prog rock, with a lot of different styles, their first album has to be the perfect soundtrack album for an epic movie | | 10 |  | Mercyful Fate
Melissa
I've just discovered them, King Diamond can reach awesome notes and the guitar work is fantastic, Melissa has to be one of the greatest metal albums from the 80. I can't agree with their lyrics, but I will listen to their other albums (and then I'll go with King Diamond's career) because it really sounds great | |

02.12.14 | It's cool that this site was able to introduce you to all kinds of new music! I still remember the first time I checked out sputnik in 2007. Good times. Hope you find some more cool shit *thumb* | MusicTalent
02.12.14 | Good picture | Atari
02.12.14 | Killer list man. Nice to see 5 on here | BigHans
02.12.14 | dude Diamond Head and Budgie on the same list awesome | MrSirLordGentleman
02.12.14 | omg, the legendary Hans has commented my list, that's an awesome gift to celebrate a year on the site | rockandmetaljunkie
02.12.14 | happy first new year man.
Cannot understand how smn needs to be a member of a site in order to know bands such as 6 and 10. | BigHans
02.12.14 | lol dont mention it man, although I think I lost my legend status a few years ago. | BigHans
02.12.14 | Also, for 3, Pink Moon is roughly 5,793 times better than that album. | MusicTalent
02.12.14 | Pink Moon is top perfection | PorcelainRain
02.12.14 | Autumn is such a great song | Judio!
02.12.14 | Congrats dude. 1, 7, and 10 are also some bands Sputnik helped me get into. | MrSirLordGentleman
02.12.14 | I like Pink Moon a lot too, but I love to hear him with more instruments (even though using just a guitar gives an awesome atmosphere too) | EpicMangoMan
02.12.14 | I found out about 3 and 7 from this site to great albums | KILL
02.12.14 | FUCK YEA BUDGIE | JamieTwort
02.12.14 | Great list dude.
"I like Pink Moon a lot too, but I love to hear him with more instruments"
Exactly the opposite for me. I much prefer the stripped back sound of Pink Moon.
I still love Five Leaves Left though. | MrSirLordGentleman
02.12.14 | Jamie, it's always the same, we like the same bands, but we never agree on their best albums hahah | JamieTwort
02.12.14 | lol yeah it does seem that way. | PorcelainRain
02.12.14 | You fellows are music mates |
