Members fretmonster Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 The bands I follow these days anticipating new releases are The Sadies, The Fleshtones, and Dave Alvin. They all have superb songwriting, musicianship and sweat the details: [YOUTUBE]zcfd1kFmsqE[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]-7p3j8tamN4[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]SVV9kbi0b1c[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nuke_diver Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 I can find the musical good in almost anything. I approve this message My musical collection isn't as varied as Dave's is probably but has elements from a lot of different genres in it. There is a lot of other stuff I like a lot but don't buy records since is more of a casual listening case (like Jazz or bluegrass, love it don't have any albums) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slushpup96 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ben Kweller I kinda like him. He seems cool and he's got good taste in guitars (owns 3 Fender Swingers and had a nosebleed all over one of them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Penguin Cafe Orchestra - definitely not for everyone but I find them quirky and charming. Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band. I think there are some believers here but most people seem to think it's impossible to like his stuff and that we must just be pretending to like him. Saw him live at his peak and he and the Magic Band were sensational. One of my favourite gigs ever. Clearlake - Wonderful British band who most here won't have even heard of. In a sensible world it'd be them who were internationally known and Coldplay who'd be obscure and undiscovered (although I confess I did like Coldplay's first album a lot). Pre-DSOTM Pink Floyd - I know there are many who do love the early stuff but it seems there are many more who think the DSOTM and onward period is miles better. I can understand why but I don't agree. I'm sure there are plenty of others but I can't bring them to mind right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 For me it's Cake. They are one of my all-time favorite bands. And while I have never heard them ridiculed here I haven't really seen them discussed at all here. Which makes sense, they aren't really a guitar-centric band so why discuss them on a guitar forum.

Members Gumkick Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Since folks are talking {censored} about the accordion again I have to post something by The Tiger Lillies. They made a guest appearance on The Simpsons a couple weeks back (I guess because they'd done an album in collaboration with Edward Gorey) but just singing the theme at the end.Anyway I think they're awesome, great live band, super prolific and creative, and I think the accordion is pretty coolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI1a4ptNQ_w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 To Ratae: Thx for queing up some Horslips. I had no idea they were still around. I have a couple of their early LPs which are incredible IMO. Do they still have that marvelous flute player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members d_dave_c Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Most of my favorite bands have a very small fanbase and certainly wouldn't be favorites in a guitar heavy forum like this one.My last.fm says my most listened to artists are Honey is Cool, Tiger Trap, The Concretes, Lykke Li, Regina, Paramore, The Cardigans, Anna Ternheim, be your own PET, Yelle, Liz Phair, Annie, Under Byen, Pixies, The Knife, Rainer Maria, One Dove, My Bloody Valentine, Curve, and Bikini Kill.Other than famous ones like Paramore, Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, and Liz Phair (and that one song by The Cardigans), I'd be surprised if someone here likes even a handful of them. Well color you surprised - I have seen Tiger Trap, Bikini Kill and the Cardigans live. Not all at once, though. And I like byoP and Rainer Maria, as well as Liz Phair, Pixies, MBV and Curve. Not huge on Paramore, but that's mostly because Haley bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Special J Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Love me some Battles. John Stanier's one of my favorite all-time drummers, and has been since I first heard Helmet like 20 years ago. Also, Ty Braxton, who's no longer with the band, is from my hometown. I've jammed with him a couple of times. Based on your other likes, you might dig a band from down here called Kung Fu. I'm sure they get up to Boston too. As far as what the forum likes, I can't really say. I try to keep a pretty open mind about music, and listen to a lot of different stuff. There's a pretty underwhelming amount of posts about music itself here, and honestly posts that talk about music outside of the mainstream (or guitar hero worship) usually fall off pretty quick, unless it incites some sort of {censored}storm like the free jazz girl post.

Members BlackPatch Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm really into stoner/desert/robot/hard rock. It's an acquired taste, and I can totally understand that a lot of people can't get into it. I especially like the bands that are from the Mojave Desert area. I'm also a bit of a Josh Homme fanboy.
