Another recommendation thread

[njpsy]

Hey all --

I decided to find 100 new bands this year because I was getting sick of the crap I was listening to.

Half way through the year, but only about 40 bands deep. I'm looking for any and all band recommendations...and which album of theirs you like best as well.

Most recently I've been listening to ska, ska-punk and punk (ramones style 3-chord stuff). Eastern Standard Time, We are the Union, Bomb the Music Industry!, Dopamines were some hits Guts, Leftovers, Project 27 were some bad misses.

-- Thanks

That list is enormous.
yeah, it's a biggie. it didn't feel like that much as i was typing all of them...haha

[Robototron]

Most of it isn't even good.

[bradsonemanband]

Most of it isn't even good.

most of MY list?

[chipdip18]

yeah, it's a biggie. it didn't feel like that much as i was typing all of them...haha

Hahaha i didn't feel like typing a lot so i cut mind short. Nice work.

[Robototron]

Whose list do you think I'm talking about.

[bradsonemanband]

Whose list do you think I'm talking about.
well, i made a list of a bunch of kinds of bands, thinking that there might be at least one that somebody like you would like. :)

[chipdip18]

Oh snap. Murrich's list is the best though.

[murrich]

Woo.

[Robototron]

well, i made a list of a bunch of kinds of bands, thinking that there might be at least one that somebody like you would like. :)

You're such a friendly guy, now I feel bad.

[bradsonemanband]

You're such a friendly guy, now I feel bad.

don't feel bad. the internet is a place where anyone can be openly negative about anything, any time.

[Robototron]

Yeah, but I do like a lot of that stuff on that list, I was just being mean because it was annoyingly long.

[bradsonemanband]

Yeah, but I do like a lot of that stuff on that list, I was just being mean because it was annoyingly long.

yeah right, it was badassidly awesome! if i was looking for some new music, and someone made a list like that, i would shit myself and be on Last.FM and myspace all night long!

ha, but what did you like on the list? (i bet you haven't heard of a huge chunk of those bands on there)
