What bands . . .

[MishelleMakeout]

Should I listen to ? ? I have an 80 gig iPod classic that I really wanna fill. I also wanna expand the bands I listen to. I dont care if you dont like any of the bands that I listen to or not. I Just wanna know what some cool bands are. They can be big and famous or they can be some small local hometown band. I dont care about what genres either. Im pretty open to any genre right now. Tell me some bands and I will go check them out.

[El_Jeffe]

I saw the Decemberists at Best Buy today when I was looking for my cds.

My recommendation is not bands but users.

Do not take recs from the following people as they like hideous music and are bad people.

Venom452
WakeUpBlondie
540tofakie.

On any thread like this you will within an hour have recieived upwards of 50 bands to check out. No way can any one person get into that much music and you'll have no idea who's giving you good ideas and who's giving you bad.

So instead I propose you private message the following users who are reliable sources of good music, asking for 3 or 4 bands they value above all others.

El_Jeffe
IWasACamera
xtogepix
HangsLikeHeaven
Funkel
kearn1tm

and of course myself.

Haha that was brilliant, although judging by her existing taste I doubt she's going to like much music they'd recommend. Worth a shot anyway.

Personally, as I'm the only one I know that listens to the kinda music I listen to, I find last.fm helpful with it's little recommendations, found so many good bands through that.

[Hook and Sinker]

i think this is the part where I namedrop bands I've never listened to

At The Drive-In
Bear vs Shark
Cursive

[El_Jeffe]

seriously? i've seen many people say this, but my last.fm only recc's me bands i'm already well aware of (often already having 100-ish plays haha), or the most ridiculous nonsense out

[Anthony Lutz]

Ummmm...

Jawbreaker
Fugazi
Nine Inch Nails
The Promise Ring
The Blood Brothers
Death From Above 1979

A random list, but it works.

SUCKS FOR YOU!

But seriously, yeah mine's been brilliant. A few shit bands come up, but most can be determined by the bands they're meant to sound like.

It's odd for them to rec ones you've already listened to a load though, must be annoying. But yeah it's been great for me, maybe try the recommended radio station and skip through the rubbish?

[DilesMavis]

I would recommend you my favorites. BUT! I am recommending you bands I think you personally might like.

The Appleseed Cast
Cat Power (Metal Heart's my favorite)
The Cure
Portugal The Man
Eisley
The Smiths
Cursive
Pinback
Bat for Lashes
Minus The Bear
The Field Mice
Angus & Julia Stone

Memories & Jersey (Shameless Self-Promotion)

[kearn1tm]

I can already predict some of the other recs from the reliable sources (Lunchforthesky, El Jeffe, Iwasacamera, togepi, etc), and they're all be worth checking out, so I'm going to throw a handful of less accessible (and in some cases, incredibly esoteric) albums that I imagine you'll like after repeated listens, if for nothing else, than the novelty factor:

1.) Richard Hell & the Voidoids -- Blank Generation

Respected as one of the luminary Punk releases during it's height in the mid '70s, yet oddly enough, hardly mentioned on this site, it's Hell's racious vocals mixed with a somewhat polished pop sheen that make this the ultimate Pop Punk album of the decade in my humble opinion. Scratch the "inaccessible" edict of this post, this album is quite easy to listen to.

2.) Suicide -- Suicide (first self-titled)

The album that essentially laid the foundation for Synth Pop and, to a greater extent, Post-Rock and Industrial, this band is directly responsible for contemporaries such as Editors and She Wants Revenge (both insipid, but direct descendents). Droning loops, buried digital hooks - it's haunting, often disturbing pop. It's rock minimalism at it's finest: 3-chord progressions and synthesized ambience.

3.) Throbbing Gristle -- 20 Jazz Funk Greats

This is an album that makes you feel disgusting after listening to it, yet you're hopelessly engaged and addicted to it and forced to listen again. One of the pioneers of Industrial music, 20 Jazz is their finest accomplishment - horrific, kitschy, transgressive lyrics paired with ugly caphony.

4.) Vijay Iyer and Rudresh Mahanthappa -- Raw Materials

Two of the most promising contemporary Jazz musicians collaborate to synthesize Ragga-Bob, Indo-Jazz and that New York Jazz sound together into an innovative, and surprisingly accessible album.

5.) Swans -- Cop

Experimental noise rock that spawned from the No Wave movement of the '70s, Cop is, in following the tradition of Swans releases, an incredibly confronational, aggressive, ugly album, both lyrically and sonically. The album consists mostly of a formula - sprialing but minimal chord progression that serves as a skeleton for the crunching drums and loud, awkwardly placed feedback sound paired with the cries and inhuman moans from vocalist Michael Gera. Good for when you're pissed, to say the least (and want to wallow in anger).

[Klatzke]

You've talked to me before, you know we share at least remotely similar tastes.. So here's some you may like that are outside your realm:

Miniature Tigers.
Mock Orange.
Lovedrug.
Castledoor.
The Myriad.
Warship.
These Green Eyes.
Idiot Pilot.
Blindside's old material is good.

As far as some scene bands go that you may not know that I'm partial to:

Oceana
Lovehatehero
Kills And Thrills
Chasing Victory
Akissforjersey

Of the scene bands, I think they pretty much get it done.

[brokenmixtape]

I don't dislike you. I found your initial posts to be incredibly annoying and picked on you a little in the "worst poster" thread, but I have no strong feelings about you either way (good or bad). We're on neutral grounds.

You're welcome. I hope you find something you like.

Okie dokie then. Havent we also kind of gone at it outside that thread tho ? IDK if it was you or another poster. Not many people like me. Which I am fine with. I just want their reasons to be true instead of something they made up cause of my music or the way I look. I just find that immature and really lame.

You check out those recs? If you don't like the top section, I'm fairly sure you'll enjoy the scene-y ones.

[MishelleMakeout]

Damn.
Why damn ?

[MishelleMakeout]

[MishelleMakeout]

I really like bands with high vocals. Not like super hi ' i got kicked in the balls ' high. But I always seem to like those kind of vocals better. Not like the voice of the lead in Against Me. Im not a fan of his voice.

Always.

There was one band I went there and did it, I think it may have been Mock Orange, and it came up with the most random shit because only one listener apparently listened to them.

[Klatzke]

I like the song Reah For The Sky
The Tide is pretty sick too. They really all are, that album is gold. I actually reviewed it if you want to go search for it here. haha.

If you like them you should like Kills&Thrills.

Ha I plan on buying an ablbum from them when I get money. I spent all my money on 3 CDs today.

I want an 80GB ipod, damnit. I don't know why I was dumb and picked a 4GB.
Ha I told my parents anything less than a 30 gig wouldnt last be a month. I just broke 1300 songs. And hopefully by christmas I should have a ton more.
haha. sucker!
I say that to all my friends that have a 2 gig nano and like 2000 songs on itunes.

Ha I am too impatient to wait. I recycled water bottles, babysat and did extra chores around the house for almost 4 months to get a fender bass. Its amazing. Saved up almost 300 bucks and blew it in less than 3 minutes. I plan on saving up $50 and then buying some cds. then starting all over again.

[Klatzke]

I'm off to bed. Mishelle, let me know what you think of the rest of the recs.

[MishelleMakeout]

What'd you buy today?

And, it's worth it for sure. I saw them on Saturday.
I bought Bring Me The Horizon - Count Your Blessings, Underoath - They're Only Chasing Safety (( cause my cousin fucked up my other one =( )), and A Skylit Drive - Wires and The Concept of Breathing.

[MishelleMakeout]

I'm off to bed. Mishelle, let me know what you think of the rest of the recs.

I have to save most of my money for school and that kind of stuff. But luckily I got a new iPod for Christmas last year so I should be good until I graduate.

Yeah, I was going crazy having close to 300 and not being able to buy the CDs I wanted.

[Nourez]

Well, if you wanna stay within the confines of pop punk, Paramore and Green Day are both great. Most of the other bands mentioned here are pretty good too, except maybe Tokio Hotel. If you wanna think outside the box, give some Nirvana a listen. Start with Nevermind, it's the most mainstream album of theirs, and then give Bleach and In Utero a try. In all honesty, it's hard to make recommendations without knowing some of your tastes. Maybe you could add some bands that you listen to into the main post, it should help out quite a bit.

[tfar06]

Minus The Bear
Interpol
Pinback
Saxon Shore

Well, they were overplayed because they're good. Paramore is too much like ever other band that people talk about here with almost no originality.

Stop listening to all of them and start listening to Converge.

[MishelleMakeout]

Stop listening to all of them and start listening to Converge.
How about I keep listening to all of them and check out Converge.

[MishelleMakeout]

Ha I was just checking out Hidden In Plain View ! I feel so dumb. I clicked on Bleed For You and this sog used to be my fav song. WTF ? Like I neer knew it was them.

[Regards]

How about I keep listening to all of them and check out Converge.
If you feel like you can still listen to them after Converge, then be my guest, but you're not going to find a better band in that vein of music that's been doing it as long, and as good as Converge.

[MishelleMakeout]

Its all in personal preference kid. What if I end up totally not liking Converge ?

[Klatzke]

I don't like them. And I've tried and tried to.

I Just wanna know what some cool bands are. They can be big and famous or they can be some small local hometown band. I dont care about what genres either. Im pretty open to any genre right now. Tell me some bands and I will go check them out.

I don't know why some of you kids keep asking me for nudes.

[SamEyes]

If you like Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa, definitely give Lower Definition a try.

As well as Our Last Night, but only just got into them so I can't say a definite verdict on them, they sound alright.

[Klatzke]

1. Hate Our Last Night.

2. Lower Definition = very good.

3. I'm adding Mikoto to my list... that you still haven't placed a verdict on!

[MishelleMakeout]

I like Hidden In Plain View, Oceana, Kills and Thrills, Protest The Hero, and Cinematic SUnrise.

[OdeToTheSun]

I don't know why some of you kids keep asking me for nudes.
Haha.
Are you serious?

[MishelleMakeout]

Yes, very serious.

[OdeToTheSun]

Yes, very serious.
That's typical of people on here.

[MishelleMakeout]

Always asking for nudes?

[andrewa5]

PROTEST THE HERO,
Progressve metal, vocalist is amazing and theyre guitar riffs and solos will blow your mind.

[OdeToTheSun]

Always asking for nudes?
Well, maybe not asking, but they sure do like 'em alot.

[MishelleMakeout]

Thats weird.

[PRoman]

Try
Tv on The Radio
Yeasayer
Animal Collective
Celebration

[Klatzke]

I like Hidden In Plain View, Oceana, Kills and Thrills, Protest The Hero, and Cinematic SUnrise.

Just how much do you listen to each band before you decide is what I'm wonderin. Like, is it a quick listen on the myspace, or like, finding and listening to a cd?

[MishelleMakeout]

For naming every hype band on this site? He forgot Copeland, auto fail.

[downtotheriver]

My recommendation is not bands but users.

Do not take recs from the following people as they like hideous music and are bad people.

Venom452
WakeUpBlondie
540tofakie.

On any thread like this you will within an hour have recieived upwards of 50 bands to check out. No way can any one person get into that much music and you'll have no idea who's giving you good ideas and who's giving you bad.

So instead I propose you private message the following users who are reliable sources of good music, asking for 3 or 4 bands they value above all others.

El_Jeffe
IWasACamera
xtogepix
HangsLikeHeaven
Funkel
kearn1tm

and of course myself.

Oh, of course.

[downtotheriver]

Damn.

Not l33t enough broface.

[fly_guy]

The Early November.

[swt_catastrophe]

For naming every hype band on this site? He forgot Copeland, auto fail.
that is true.. copeland should be up there.

just because its "hype" doesnt make the recs bad

[fly_guy]

The Early November

[Klatzke]

[MishelleMakeout]

I have heard of them, just none of their music.

[Klatzke]

Oh. Astronautalis, though I doubt you'll like it.

[fly_guy]

[zeropunk16]

Hmmm

Lydia
Alkaline Trio
Minus the Bear
The Dear Hunter
The Blood Brothers
King Crimson
Bear vs Shark

[Klatzke]

You probably won't like Astronautalis, but on the off chance you will, check it out. Doomtree too.

[Burn That Shit]

You'd probably be into Chasing Victory's first album if you haven't heard it already.

[fly_guy]

Hmmm

Lydia
Alkaline Trio
Minus the Bear
The Dear Hunter
The Blood Brothers

Bear vs Shark

I really could go on all day with this.

There's no way she'll check them out, but its worth a shot

[MishelleMakeout]

Ha I will as soon as I can. I am babysitting right now. Haha.

[MishelleMakeout]

There's no way she'll check them out, but its worth a shot
How do you know I wont.

[fly_guy]

[MishelleMakeout]

Ha kay I will

[zeropunk16]

You might like At The Drive-In. You should really try Lydia also.

[MishelleMakeout]

The only band there that can be considered "hype" is Lydia, in my opinion. And all of them are excellent bands, I dont know what you're talking about...

[Czarsy]

Black Sabbath
Descendents
Lion of Judah
Wu-Tang Clan
Cro-Mags


Those are pretty much the only bands you need to hear.

[tiphany]

Neurosis
Orchid
Radiohead
No Age
My Bloody Valentine
