New Pornographers- the way indie-pop is supposed to sound

A lot of bands listed here are featured in the latest version of Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

COINCIDENCE?!

I thought all 21st Century music sucked, until I heard MGMT's psychedelic blend of electro and art rock. Btw, what's with Rammstein, I noticed a few of you got into them. I've loved them in every way since 1998, but lately I've been especially addicted to their songs!

Zion, Bibio, caina, calder, the calm blue sea, centenaire, coldworld, the depreciation guild, elliott smith, godspeed you! black emperor, Set Fire to Flames, gordian knot, hexperos, mogwai, moving mountains, pyramids, those poor bastards, o'death, october tide, pelican, massive attack, russian circles, sans arc, sculptured, shelter red, sig:ar:tyr, this will destroy you, toma, tides within, we made god, wolves in the throne room.

[JBarracudaL]

and the one i am most grateful for Amiina.

<3

Kurr is one of my favorite albums. Love that group so much.

So in 2008 I found Miles Davis and Opeth - I should just stop looking for music, nothing will ever live up to this.

I think Miles is one of the greatest musical minds to ever grace this Earth, however, Charles Mingus begs to differ. Look up his music, it's different than Miles' style for sure, and each I credit as brilliant for differing reasons. Yet, I was certain that I would never find a Jazz musician I prefer over Miles until I really analyzed Mingus' music. Start with Mingus Ah Um or Mingus Mingus Mingus.
Enjoy.

I never really thought much of Opeth, honestly. My Prog Metal gods have always been Pain of Salvation.

 

[Mostly Harmless]

Johnathan Coulton, Blue October, Voltaire, Beck, Eve 6, Modest Mouse, Nightwish Those would be the main ones.

 

[nick_knack]

Chromeo. The only successful Arab-Jewish collaboration since the beginning of time.

 

[Fenring]

muse. Started listening to Radiohead to.

 

[Bagaloo]

Simian Mobile Disco.
I recently had an old friend visit me at uni, and he brought his very sexy 160gb iPod, which I promptly took all the music off of.

I can't get enough Simian. Also Justice, similar sort of thing.

 

[Doomhammer828]

Blink 182
