The One & Only Band/Song Recomendation Thread

[Guest SuperTonyJaymz]

Basically, I wanna hear some bands/songs that others can recomend, any band artist, etc will do. This is just to help others, like myself, get some hear some new music.

 

Heres some bands that I recomend, that I've heard recently:

Qurashi "Stick 'em up"

OPM "Heaven On A Halfpipe"

Stroke 9 "Kick Some Ass"

Sev "Same Old Song"

 

Not everyones probably gonna agree, but this is just a way for people to start listening to new music.

 

btw if anyone can tell me who the DJ who did a rap, kinda goes "Only Americans Eat Ducksauce" please tell me who it is

 

thanks, and lets share!

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

I shill them all over the place, but here I go again: Modest Mouse. One of the best rock bands today. Best album is The Lonesome Crowded West, but any of their LPs are quality, though The Moon And Antarctica, the first major label release, isn't quite as strong.

 

Recommend songs:

"Cowboy Dan"

"Teeth Like God's Shoeshine"

"Dramamine"

"Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice On Ice, All Right"

"Tunda/Desert"

"Edit The Sad Parts"

[Guest Zack Malibu]

For industrial rock/alternative fans, I highly recommend Stabbing Westward. They had hits with What Do I Have To Do and Save Yourself, but songs like Shame, Nothing, and The Thing I Hate are all awesome songs that could have used more airplay.

 

Techno/Club/Dance/Freestyle fans should try:

 

"Tears" by Rockell

"I See Right Through To You"-DJ Encore

"I Want To Be With You Tonight"-Collage/Alexia

"Shake Shake" by Johnny Z

 

More to come...

[Guest SuperTonyJaymz]

If anyone doesn't know, TRUSTCompany is great. Downfall is a definite song to d/l

 

And while they arn't really "new" Dashboard Confessionals is just great. I'm wishing I had MTV2 so I could listen to thier Unplugged 2.0

 

A band I don't think is gonna be easy to get online, but is really good is thio band called Join The Conspiracy(J.T.C) one of the better local bands here in maryland. Think they changed their name to Setback though...

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

A random list of Metal, Postpunk, and Hardcore songs:

 

Boy Sets Fire-Rookie

Hopesfall-End of an Era

Glassjaw-Ry Ry's Song

Poison the Well-Slice Paper Wrists

Unearth-Stings of Conscience

Katatonia-Tonight's Music

Underoath-When the Sun Sleeps

Cave In-Requiem

Slint-Nosferatu

Gathering-The May Song

Cynic-Veil of Maya

I shill them all over the place, but here I go again: Modest Mouse.  One of the best rock bands today.  Best album is The Lonesome Crowded West, but any of their LPs are quality, though The Moon And Antarctica, the first major label release, isn't quite as strong.

 

Recommend songs:

"Cowboy Dan"

"Teeth Like God's Shoeshine"

"Dramamine"

"Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice On Ice, All Right"

"Tunda/Desert"

"Edit The Sad Parts"

First off, I whole-heartedly second your recommendation. And speaking from personal experience, the friends that I've tried to introduce to Modest Mouse, have always been drawn to "Lonesome Crowded West," so that would be my suggestion of where to start also.

 

Out of curiosity, Mr. MacPhisto, what did you think of the "Everywhere & His Nasty Parlor" EP and the decision to release "Sad Sappy Sucker?" Also, any thoughts on Ugly Casanova?

 

And, finally, since we're shilling on this thread, I highly recommend to everyone, my favorite band, The Dismemberment Plan.

 

I absolutely love their entire body of work, but "Emergency & I" is probably the best place to start.

 

As far as individual songs go...here are the "hits" so to speak...

"Ok, Joke's Over"

"Onward, Fat Girl"

"Bra"

"Do The Standing Still"

"The Ice Of Boston"

"What Do You Want Me To Say?"

"You Are Invited"

"The City"

"Back And Forth"

"The Dismemberment Plan Gets Rich"

"Face Of The Earth"

"Time Bomb"

 

You can actually listen to a lot of their work on their website .

Out of curiosity, Mr. MacPhisto, what did you think of the "Everywhere & His Nasty Parlor" EP and the decision to release "Sad Sappy Sucker?" Also, any thoughts on Ugly Casanova?

 

Everywhere & His Nasty Parlor didn't do so much for me. I haven't truly given it a fair shake so far, but it plays like what it is: Moon And Antarctica b-sides. Moon is my least favorite Mouse album, even if it is still pretty damn marvelous, just because I think the tension in their music shines through much better in the rougher state you'll find on Lonesome Crowded West and This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About.

 

About Sad Sappy Sucker: again, I haven't given much thought to the smaller releases of theirs, as they've been inconsistent and not as enchanting as the albums. It's not bad, though, and the more early material they want to release, the more interested I am in seeing how the band developed. Ugly Casanova I like, but I think Isaac Brock does best with his regular ol' Modest Mouse backing band.

[Guest redbaron51]

IMO Stabbing Westard is the piss poor version of industrial.

 

I recommend some Ministry

 

Ministry: Psalm 69, NWO, Jesus Built My Hotrod, Bad Blood

 

also some other bands

 

Dream Theater: Under A Glass Moon

Liquid Tension Experement: Acid Rain

King Crimson: 21st Century Schizoid Man

Humble Pie: I don't need no Doctor

[Guest godthedog]

can we start recommending albums, in addition to just songs? i'm looking for new stuff to buy but i never download anything, so the songs don't really help me.

[Guest Jerome Drake]

"Wake me up Before You Go Go" by WHAM!

[Guest SuperTonyJaymz]

I have a soft spot for cheap cds. Qurashi, Avril Lavigne, N.E.R.D. etc. are all under 10 bucks right now, so I grabbed them all up. The only downer of the bunch was Avril Lavigne, which IMO only had two good songs.

 

Atticus:Dragging The Lake is a GREAT comp cd, and its like 5 bucks.

[Guest Kinetic]

I second both the Dismemberment Plan and Modest Mouse suggestions, although moreso the former than the latter. Then again, my favorite Modest Mouse album is Building Nothing Out of Something, so what do I know? The list of D-Plan songs is fine, but I'd say add "Memory Machine" and "Following Through."

 

I'd like to recommend Elliot Smith. Get out and buy Either/Or as soon as possible. He has a really angelic voice that complements his clinically depressed lyrics and sparse acoustic arrangements well. His two major label albums build on that to a logical degree, incorporating more diverse instrumentation but not sacrificing the misery that made him a big name in the first place. So, yeah. Elliot Smith is great.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

For any of you "emo" fans, Juliana Theory is pretty damn good, IMO.

 

I like that N.E.R.D. song "Rock Star", but how is their other stuff?

 

My sister has the Avril Lavigne CD. I'm really digging Complicated as of late, and Sk8r Boi is a good song too. I have yet to listen to the rest of the CD.

N.E.R.D is great, go get it now. I haven't heard enough of it to know it off the top of my head but I lmainly listen to it in the car. One fo thsoe albums were you nod your head

 

Sk8ter Boi and Complicated are the best songs on that cd, everything else was bleh for me.

[Guest Nevermortal]

Zyklon - "Chaos Deathcult"

 

The Project Hate MCMXCIX - "I Smell Like Jesus...Dead"

 

Tiger Army - "Incorporeal"

 

AFI - "God Called in Sick Today"

 

Meshuggah - "New Millenium Cyanide Christ"

 

Cradle of Filth - "Malice Through the Looking Glass"

[Guest BottleRocket]

Both "Following Through" and "Memory Machine" are also excellent Plan selections. Like I said, I love nearly all their material-- I just tried to keep my list to their concert "hits," so as to not go on and on. You could throw "A Life Of Possibilities," "Academy Award," "Gyroscope," "If I Don't Write," and "Soon To Be Ex-Quaker" on the list also.

 

Their new material is really interesting ("People Die") and I'm looking forward to Ft. Reno where they've teased that they might have as many as five or six new songs to unleash.

[Guest Anorak]

Whiskeytown: If you like Wilco, Replacements and Gram Parsons type stuff then you should love them. The sound is a mix of traditional country with louder rock'n'roll sounds, the reissue of 'Faithless Street' contains 21 songs with bonus tracks and is excellent. 'Strangers Almanac' is pretty much as good, 'Pnuemonia' is basically a Ryan Adams solo album which is a good companion piece his mostly accoustic debut album 'Heartbreaker' which came out after the band split up.

 

Songs:

Avenues

Lo Fi Tennesse Mountain Angel

Factory Girl

 

Calexico: A spin off group from Giant Sand, the best description i've read of their music described them as sounding like the soundtrack to a Sam Peckinpah western and I can't put it better. Majority of their stuff is instrumental but never dull with a mexican influence creating spahgetti western images in your head.

 

Songs:

The Ballad of Cable Hogue

Trigger

The Crystal Frontier

 

Gorkys Zygotic Mynci: A folky, softer and poppier version of Super Furry Animals who are just as quirky and Welsh but way too whimsical to be as 'rock'n'roll'. Their early stuff is VERY whacky and off the wall at times but there are always melodies, hooks and brilliant arrangements to their songs which incorporate all types of instruments. 'Barafundle' saw them mix the quirky with the accessible and 'Spanish Dance Troupe' & 'How I Long to Feel That Summer in My Heart have carried on from there. 'The Blue Trees', an accoustic EP released inbetween the 'Dance Troupe' and 'Summer' albums is right up there with their best stuff as well.

 

Songs:

Faraway Eyes

This Summers Been Good From The Start

Merched Ya Neod Gwalt Eu Gilydd

Miss Trudy

Stood On Gold

Patio Song

Jdim Yr Adar Yn Canu

 

Ron Sexsmith: Anybody with a liking for singer songwriters should be able to get into his stuff, his voice is nothing special but his simple songs and lyrics really work. He first came to prominance when Elvis Costello raved about his self titled debut album, 'Other Songs', 'Wherabouts' and 'The Blue Boy' have followed since.

 

Songs:

Strawberry Blonde

From a Few Streets Over

In a Flash

Riverbed

Pretty Little Cemetary

 

Sparklehorse: Emerged around the same time as Wilco and have been as consistantly excellent as them as well, 'Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot'

, 'Good Morning Spider' and Its a Wonderful Life are equally worth getting. PJ Harvey and Tom Waits both appeared on 'Wonderful Life'.

Babes in the Sun

Sad and Beautiful World

Mockingbirds

[Guest swan]

just about any band Dan Swano is involved with.

I realized after posting I should name the bands since 98% of this board probally has no idea who Dan is.

 

Top 3 in no order:

 

1. Edge of Sanity

2. Moontower

3. Pan-Thy-Monium

[Guest dreamer420]

"Wake me up Before You Go Go" by WHAM!

well no point in me posting now. someone has stolen my answer.

[Guest thefrenchargel]

Acid Bath has some badass shit out. "When the Kite String Pops" is one of the most badass albums I've ever heard. Download songs like "Dr. Seuss is Dead." "The Blue" "Scream of the Butterfly" almost anything by Dillinger Escape Plan owns as well.

[Guest Nevermortal]

I add:

 

Marduk - "Christraping Black Metal" & "Slay The Nazarene"

 

Acid Bath - "Cassie Eats Cockroaches"

 

Immolation - Basically anything off "Close To a World Below". Its all good.

 

Dimmu Borgir - "Hunnerkongen" & "Puritania"

 

Strapping Young Lad - "Oh My Fucking God"

 

Danzig - "Black Mass"
