More music?

Dick Jones

your list is not bad how about some Built to spill?

Their live album is a good place to start. There two best albums are perfect from now on and keep it like a secret.

They have a new album that came out today that is pretty cool. It is too new for me to say how it stacks up to the albums already mentioned yet though.

Perhaps you may want to try some Dinosaur Jr.... You're living all over me and Where ya been are my favs.

Both of the above mentioned bands have great guitar playing (in my opinon) Both get many comparisons to neil young for their shakey singing and loud guitar play (lyrics are no where near as good as neil though...) So if you dig loud neil those two might be a good place to go. In fact on the built to spill live album they do a 20 minute cover of cortez the killer.

Maybe some Neutral Milk Hotel would do you good? Their album In an Aeroplane over the sea is AWESOME. Takes a few listens but truely a good album.

Sonic Youth's Daydream nation is a classic or maybe Sonic Nurse it was really good even though it was their last album it was the one that really hooked me and made me go get their back catalog.

So lets review:
Built to Spill- Live, Perfect From now on, or Keep it like a secret
Dinosaur Jr-You're Living all over me or Where Ya Been
Neutral Milk Hotel- In an Aeroplane over the sea
Sonic Youth- Daydrem Nation or Sonic Nurse

I'm sure you've heard of them, but I don't think any cd collection is complete without MODEST MOUSE, "Moon & Antarctica" is a good place to start.

Also, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY are ridiculously good, all instrumental, but intense, and beautiful music. Start with "The earth is not a cold dead place".

And I reccommend the band CURSIVE to everyone I know, all of their albums are different and incorporate different themes, so obviously with that different people will like different albums, but "The ugly organ" is probably their most accessible, creative album. Their really just a high energy rock band, but unfortunatly people lump them in with emo, which I think is a bo'shit genre title for them.

In that same vein you can't go wrong with AT THE DRIVE IN's "Relationship of command".

You know i've recomended this album to three people and two of the three did not like it.... I don't know why i rank it as one of my all time favorite albums. I love that shit. I guess people can't get into the singing...

I see you are a fan of the Drive-By Truckers, you should definitely check out a band called Slobberbone, they are broken up now, but they put out 4 really good albums. Patterson from DBT actually plays on one of their records and they used to tour together a lot.

And I second the Dino Jr. suggestion, goddamn that band was good.

manny_81

new pornographers-Twin Cinema
the constantines-Shine A light
Ted Leo and the pharmacists-shake the streets

are great albums by artists with excellent catalogues.

Echoes

the mountain goats
Destroyer
Shugo Tokumaru

are pretty much a great start for anything - Also the post involving neutral milk hotel was spot on

Okay, I've looked through your list three times, so if these were mentioned, I'm blind as a bat.

Jeff Buckley
Smashing Pumpkins
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
(Old) MetallicA
Pantera
Lamb of God

How's that for diverse!!!

Echoes

Not really, sorry. Just a bunch of mainstream metal/alt.rock/jazz. Maybe it is diverse to him, but not really to me.

What I meant by diverse is the diversity within my choices....not diversity from the mainstream.

Echoes

Fair enough, but I guess I stand by my statement of not thinking it is that diverse. Miles, The Pumpkins, and Coltrane are pretty great.

edit - dude, don't take it like I'm bashing you or anything here, either. We just have different definitions of diverse. I wouldn't stand up and tout my diversity after only listing those bands, is what this all boils downs it, I guess. I'm not saying ile and Metallica are similar, or that Jeff Bucklery and Lamb of God make up a similar lineup

No worries....I didn't feel like you were bashing me. I guess that when you looked at my list and when I looked at my list and the word diverse was used, you and I thought two different things. That's what it boils down to. If I felt like you were bashing me, I woulda been rude or called you a name or something.

I mean, c'mon.....Jeff Buckley and Lamb of God aren't in the same league....they're not even playing the same game. That should be evident to everybody

You're list is really deprived of Mike Patton related music. Mike Patton is the best singer ever and is a crazy genius, at least in my opinion. His most "normal" band would be faith no more. Angel Dust is my favourite album of theres and the Real Thing was really influencial, on the crappy nu-metal movement but don't let that put you off them or that album.

One of Mike's other bands Mr Bungle is also really awesome! They meld so many different styles together in the course of one song its amazing sounding and really creative stuff. I'd recomend California or their self-titled album to someone without any mr bungle albums. They're both awesome and were really easy for me to get into whereass their other album, Disco Volante is pretty weird and avant-garde, I'm still trying to get into it. California's probably the easiest Mr Bungle to listen to but to me isn't as fun as their self-titled album.

I would definitely start with "Good News for People Who Love Bad News". It's a much more listenable album for a newcomer to Modest Mouse. You should work back from there.
Another good band is the Decemberists. I would pick up "Picaresque" because it's such a great album.
Also, I didn't see any Death Cab for Cutie on there. They've got some good stuff. Pick up "We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes" or "Transatlantacism". Those are my two favorites by them.

The Dark Fantastic is a band started by the...drummer I think of Screaming Trees. Their first record is pretty great so grab that one maybe. They have another record that isn't as good in my opinion but the first one is good.
