| Bands That Sputnik Has Either Introduced Me To Or Helped Me Get Into (ranked)
Cheers Sputnik | | 8 | Faunts
Again I knew this band a little, in the same way as everyone else (Mass Effect) and
couldn't stop listening to M4 pt.2 (on repeat none stop for about two weeks) then
after reading a few reviews went and downloaded the ep, then High
Expectations/low results. Love their chilled out vibe on some tracks-makes you go
into a trance-but I listen to them more for those "heavy" moments when you stop
and think, that was just splendid. | | 7 | The Swell Season
Knew a bit about these guys, mainly Hansard through the film Once, and loved all
the music I had heard. Checked them out on Sputnik, just trying to match a name
with a face, then downloaded the Once album. Emotional songwriting at it's best,
every song is sick and memorable. | | 6 | RX Bandits
Only discovered these a few days ago, had never heard of them before, was
excited by the reviews stating that they were ska/prog and checked them out on
itunes. Bought the album there and then, been listening to it ever since-none stop.
Fantastic singer, very catchy guitar lines and awesome drumming. | | 5 | King Crimson
Knew nothing about them, other than the infamous album cover of In The Court Of
The Crimson King which I think everyone has seen in HMV at one point or another.
Then I started using Sputnik to find new music, before I became a member, found
a review that matched up with that sick cover, liked what I read and bought the
album soon after. They were way ahead of their time and take a special place up in
my Prog rock collection. | | 4 | Twelve Foot Ninja
A very knew find for me. The aussie's are incredible in all aspects of the word;
multiple genres in each song, which is what the bests bands do, heavy fucking
guitars, interesting lyrics and just a great overall vibe. Another brand new
favourite. | | 3 | At The Drive-In
I have a vague memory of hearing One Armed Scissor back in the day but other
than that, I have to admit I knew nothing about them before I got into The Mars
Volta and checked out a few of the reviews about Relationship Of Command and
In/Casino/Out. Fucking love this band; more energy than most punk bands with
better musicianship and the same odd lyrics which Cedric is now known for. | | 2 | Primus
Knew a bit about Les and the guys through the Rush classic albums dvd where they
are mentioned as being one of the bands highly influenced by Rush. Went out and
bought Antipop, fell in the love with the bass playing and quirky side to the band,
and rate them as one of my favourites. | | 1 | The Mars Volta
One of my favourite bands of all time; I heard Televators back when it came out
and loved it, but for one reason or another never got into the band. Then after
seeing the cover to De-Loused in the Comatorium, went out and bought the album,
I haven't looked back since. | |

12.21.12 | cool man, i could make a decent sized list, like this. thanks for posting! | Keyblade
12.21.12 | city fan? | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | Best not be! Scum City! Salford city RED! | wabbit
12.21.12 | listen to fugazi, it's time. | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | "listen to fugazi, it's time."
Will check 'em out mate.
"city fan?"
Yeah and proud of it.
Fuck you BBB (you's from salford always say you're not from manchester yet you all support united, you can't pick and choose you prat)
| ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | Salford is UTD!!! Always has been, always will be! 2-3 lad, 2-3. | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | At least you sound like you're from Manchester, I'll give you that. | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | Fair play dude, but you robbed us in the 2-3. We we're the better team but you had more fight in you. Still, you can't beat the 6-1. | WeepingBanana
12.21.12 | rx bandits aren't ska/prog. first they were ska and then they were prog.
and they're not even really prog they're just groovin' as fuck rock | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | Can't beat the 6-1 was a great part on your half. Behave though, you weren't the better team, it should've been 3 - 0, then Scholes on then game over. We had 20 minutes where we panicked once you got your goal. No Vidic. Still can't believe you won the league on goal difference! Was furious!
What was Nasri doing?!!!!
And remember it's only a friendly wind up! Don't get people who get angry/violent over football! | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | "wow it took using Sputnik to introduce you to Primus, At The Drive In, and Mars Volta??"
Some of them I knew before, as mentioned above, but had never gotten into properly; if you grow up in Manchester, with
the friends I have, you either listen to rap, pop or some good shit by the Stone Roses, Oasis and the Smiths. But most
people I know really don't like the same music as me, soi when it comes to finding new music that I'll like, it's down to me
(no recs from mates). | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | "And remember it's only a friendly wind up! Don't get people who get angry/violent over football!"
yeah I agree, but I've had so many bad run-ins with reds over the years that I forget most of them are alright. Last year we well deserved to win the league, so many goals, awesome performances and record breaking bits, but this year, it's the typical city of the old days. You'll probs take it off us but whatever, become used to you's winning stuff, though I do think we'll win sommut. We have won the charity shield after all, and isn't that all that matters, lol. | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | Check out:
Camel
Yes
Rush
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
Atheist
Opeth
Edge of Sanity | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | Haha chairty shield. That's the solace I took when we won nowt last year! | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | "Check out:

Rush is my favourite band dude, seeing them next year at the M.E.N arena. Can't fucking wait. Yes are great, only listened to a bit of Zappa but it sounded very, very good. Been meaning to listen to Camel and will check the others out soon. Cheers man. | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | "Haha chairty shield. That's the solace I took when we won nowt last year!"
I have a bad feeling it'll be the same for us this season. | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | I'm seeing them at the 02 London mate. Family moved away from Salford when I was about 16. | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | Cool BBB. Me and me dad are going to see 'em, there his favourite band annol-he got me into 'em. Looking forward to hearing some of Clockwork Angels live, hope they do the Garden. But if they dont't do Red Barchetta I'll... Still be fucking well happy. I gotta' get me some merch annol, you can't get Rush shirts anywhere in town.
"I'm seeing them at the 02 London mate. Family moved away from Salford when I was about 16."
What's London like, I've never been? | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | London is great mate, been loads of times. But I live in Felixstowe, south east near Ipswich. Absolute shithole.
What else do you dig? Do you like metal? | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | Yeah I live in east Manchester, Droylsden, PROPER SHIT HOLE, full of gangs and all that bollocks. I listen to some metal but haven't really gotten into that much-any recs?
Been listening to this list a lot of late-especially Twelve Foot Nnja. I like me a bit of everything really; some Pantera, Korn, Finch, The Smiths, Iron Maiden, Inme, Rage Against the Machine etc. Check out my profile page-the ratings-if you want dude. | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | OK, if you haven't, check out Opeth and Entombed, that will gateway to some other awesome shit. | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | Sweet. Opeth are another band I've been meaning to check out-so much good shit so little time.
Also, I'm gonna' release an EP soon on Bandcamp-all instrumental as I'm still looking to set up a band-so if you see a list made up about that I'd appreciate you giving it a listen (Any feedback and the like). Will probs be after Christmas now, unless the world ends. | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | Let me know when it's up, drop me a shoutbox message. | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | Will do man. Gonna' listen to a bit of Opeth now I think, or maybe some Camel. See you in a bit. | ButteryBiscuitBass
12.21.12 | Innabit. Start with Still life by Opeth awesome stuff. | BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | "Innabit. Start with Still life by Opeth awesome stuff."
