Music You've Rediscovered

[Penguinishka]

I recently rediscovered Pearl Jam. I hadn't listened to them since I was in middle school and they played them on the local alternative station. I forget about Franz Ferdinand every so often but since they came out with their new album I've been dancin' around to them. I just recently plain discovered Led Zepplin. Thank goodness for college or it might have been years since I ever really listened to them.

AoE 2 music

Crossfade. They sorta faded into obscurity after their second album came out, but I found myself enjoying them the other day.

The first album I ever bought was Sum41 - All Killer, No Filler. I had lost it, but got hold of a new copy in the last couple of days.

God help me, I can't hate them. No matter how hard I try.

Metallica is one. They were the band who got me into good music.

I also rediscovered Breaking Benjamin, and how bad of taste I had when I was younger. (No offense to Breaking Benjamin fans.)

Metallica? Good music? That's funny.

Say what you will. It's not like I'm saying ReLoad was a musical masterpiece or St. Anger was decent. Really, the two albums I consider great are... The two albums usually considered great: ...And Justice for All and The Black Album.

Funny, they haven't released anything entitled "The Black Album" that I know of...

I've recently gotten back into Arch Enemy. Not just their post-We Will Rise overhyped music, but their older music as well, when Johan Liiva was the lead singer.

This didn't happen recently, but one of my favorite bands of the past few years was a "rediscovered" band: Silverchair.

Back in middle school and high school, they were the typical teenage-angst band, but their last couple of albums have been simply stellar. They collaborated on their last two releases with Van Dyke Parks (Beach Boys / Brian Wilson, Byrds, Loudon Wainwright III), and they just hit the sweet spot with every song.

Mostly songs from when i was growing up (i.e. 90's) also Flogging Molly. not sure why but their music seems right to me.

Artist - Thousand Foot Krutch

I keep finding old music lying around my harddrive, listen to it, say: "Oh hey! I remember this!" Then I slap it on my mp3 player and listen to it a ton until I find something else in the same way.

 

[Woundingisfun]

It is! I used to love them but it kinda daffed off when I started listening to metal and some of the harder varieties of rock.. Not quite friends, and not quite strangers!

Hehe.. I remember I didn't know what it meant until a girl told me on Roskilde Festival '05 the day they performed. I think it's a nice little word-thing, definitely something worth remembering.

Hah, I listened to them a long time before I looked a little to the left to the CD when I was about to put it in the stereo. "Ooooh so THAT'S what it means!"

Some good stuff some so-so but pretty good. Also its free so... nothing to lose.

That is without a doubt one of the strangest things I have ever heard. Awesome too.

I recently dug out my old copy of Radiohead's OK Computer, i'll have to get round to listening to it.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

I went to a quality concert of the St Matthew Passion by Bach yesterday. It rekindled some old memories of my childhood where my father used to listen to that a lot. It was truly beautiful and certainly brought up fond memories .

I'm not a big fan of Metallica, but I would say that The Black Album, or Metallica, is their best album.

I recently started listening to the Pixies again. Some time ago, I realized I preferred the Breeders, and I forgot about a lot of good Pixies songs. What a shame. It never should have been one-or-the-other. Still haven't checked out any of Frank Black's solo stuff, tho.. I think there's quite a lot of it built up by now.

Oh, and At The Drive-In was on the back burner for a few years, as well. I like different songs of theirs now.. shame they broke up, I prefer them to the bands they spawned (The Mars Volta and Sparta).

Billie Holiday - my mum used to play her songs all day in my house when I was a kid. I found an old record of hers and played it on a turntable.

It sounded fucking sweet. If only my life could be sepia coloured...

Oh yeah! I agree. I heard the, uh, frog album in highschool.. and had a strong aversion to it. But they've evolved the hell outta themselves since then, haven't they? I love it when bad bands get good. I've been meaning to check out more of their new stuff.

I was listening to Pandora the other day and The Offspring came on. Suddenly I remembered how much I used to listen to them back in high school. I went right out picked up some of their stuff and I can't stop listening to it.

Has this ever happened to you?

80's hair bands, 70s-80s British Punk, Blac Sabbath are all music genres/bands I have rediscovered even though they have been out for like decades.
