Re: The 544,396th Music Thread

If I listed my Top Five, most of it would be underground, or at least uncommon stuff. But what the hell:

Tegan & Sara - Walking With A Ghost
Tenacious D - Explosivo
A Perfect Circle - Three Libras
Akira Yamaoka - End of Small Sanctuary
Elysian Fields - Tides of the Moon

(Snarf got me hooked on T&S and Elysian Fields)

If you like bluesy punky rock weird stuff, I recommend Eagles of Death Metal. Their style is neither Eagles nor Death Metal.

Re: The 544,396th Music Thread

According to iTunes, my top five played songs are:

Protest by Buck 65
The Twist by Metric
Storytelling by Belle and Sebastian
New Slang by the Shins
Ersatz by Fischerspooner

As for recommendations... how about anything on E6 (and its family)? They're not extremely underground, but oh well.. Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, Ulysses, Marshmallow Coast, etc.

Re: The Music Thread

Obviously top five songs then?

Top 5:
Songs:
Coldplay - Shiver
Interpol - Narc
Middle of Nowhere - Hot Hot Heat
Optimistic - Radiohead
Crystal Days - Echo & The Bunnymen

Artists(According to my last.fm ):
Readiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Boards of Canada
DJ Shadow
The Beatles

My recomendation(s):
Not sure how popular Echo & The Bunnymen are but I love them they're early 1980's music that inspired pretty much any indie music you hear today, The Shout Out Louds aren't that popular and I think they ROCK they're Icelandic rock, and finally I suggest My Bloody Valentine, it's just good music.

My favorite bands/artists:

Lynard Skynard
Bruce Springsteen
Jello Biafra and the Melvins
Wesley Willis
Bob Dylan
Tom T. Hall
AC/DC
Led Zeppelin
Leftover Crack
Burning Image



Four of these aren't mainstream. The rest are very old.

Lemon demon:The ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
(It's just funny)
Dead kennedys:MTV get off the air

Re: The Music Thread

'Cordin' to winamp, my top 5 are:

1. "Dedofiktion" by Circle
2. "Raindrop" by Alison's Halo
3. "Dethroned" by Guitaro
4. "Bicycle Rider" by 5ive's Continuum Research Project
5. "The Full Destroyermerzbow Meltdown" by Alec Empire vs. Merzbow

Personally though, I think it's...

1. "Sometimes" by My Bloody Valentine
2. "When the Sun Hits" by Slowdive
3. "Amelia" by Cocteau Twins
4. "Sidhe" by Love Spirals Downwards
5. "Midnight in a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow

And I can't recommend anything with good conscience.

Oh man, I can't believe I didn't throw in any Spacemen 3, Spiritualized or Sonic Youth. Just... Pretend I did.

Desolation Row - Bob Dylan

Heroin - Velvet Underground and Nico

Re: The Music Thread

According to Itunes, my top five are:

1) Ballad of Spider John : Willis Alan Ramsey
2) Carney Man : Cross Canadian Ragweed
3) Please Let Me Stay a Little Longer : Dirty Dozen Brass Band
4) Lowlands : The Gourds

Re: The Music Thread

My top five has been in my sig for a while now.

As for an underground reccommendation, uhh, I'd have to say the Fall of Troy. Crazy trippy mix of The Mars Volta and Fear Before the March of Flames.

[Rodak]

Re: The Music Thread

This is about as mainstream as I get:

Top 5 (in no particular order):

PDQ Bach

Mike Oldfield

Spike Jones

Andreas Vollenweider

Akira Ito


"Underground" suggestion: Phillip Glass

Worthy Mentions to a few you may know:

EARLY Yes; Genesis; Rush; and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

That's about it except for The Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Peace.

Re: The Music Thread

Philip glass has some SPOOKY ****. He did the Candyman theme song. Those bells still make me shiver.

[Sampson]

Re: The Music Thread

"The becoming"~NIN (still version)
"The reflecting god"~Manson
"Deadbolt"~Thrice
"Understanding in a car crash"~Thursday

[Geno Blue]

Re: The Music Thread

well according to winamp:
1. Stand Inside Your Love - The Smashing Pumpkins
2. Please Don't Tell Her - Jason Mraz
3. Join Me - HIM
4. Walnut Tree - Keane
5. Center of Attention - Guster

Umm for underground and decently new I would have to say *the Notwist*

I would say my real top 5 would be:
1. Hey You - Pink Floyd
2. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
3. Lost in the Supermarket - The Clash
4. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles
5. Talk - Coldplay

[Roland Of Gilead]

Re: The Music Thread

According to Itunes:
1. Here comes the sun -The Beatles
2. Box of rain -Grateful Dead
3. Hey you -Pink Floyd
4. Santeria -Sublime
5. With a little help from my friends -The Beatles

One underground band I would reccomend is: The Moldy Peaches. They aren't really that underground but they aren't that famous either. They have some very interesting songs nonetheless.
