I really suggest that everyone listens to The Walkmen - You & Me. This band and album are amazing. If you have a chance to see them live, do it. There is so much put into this music. It really makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. One of my favorite songs on the album is "Four Provinces" and it has a big cymbal sound. It's inspiring and a really lovely tune.
didn't have time to go through the entire thread, but here are some of my suggestions:
The Sadies
The Drones
Six Organs of Admittance
Margot and the Nuclear So and So's (at least their album the Dust of Retreat)
The Thermals
History (local Orlando band)
Avett Brothers
Them Two
New Pornographers
A Girl Called Eddy
Jolie Holland
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Brazilian Girls
Thievery Corporation
Antibalas
Since we're talking Canadian bands, here's a few more:
The Weakerthans
Sam Roberts
Matt Mays & El Torpedo
The Constantines
Cuff the Duke
Greg Macpherson Band
Sarah Harmer
Matthew Good
Sloan
C'mon
Kathleen Edwards
Lowest of the Low
Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir
The Trews
The New Pornographers
Joel Plaskett
The Stills
Ron Sexsmith
That's a pretty good list. C'mon is fucking awesome. I saw them play a CD release at this dingy little bar in Winnipeg with a band called Hot Live Guys, whom they had just released a 7" vinyl with. One of the best bar shows I've seen. The bassist from Bad Religion (who I've spotted at this bar a few times. He's got some friends that live in the area) ended up on stage.
One thing I've always loved about Canadian rock (especially in the 90's) is how down to earth they are. There's very little pretentious, artsy garbage. It's just straight up rock-n-roll. I guess part of that comes from none of them actually being that big, they're really only known in Canada throuh CanCon.
A couple of other great Canadian bands are Big Sugar and The Headstones.
Here's some of the bands I like to go check out around Winnipeg. There's some really kickass punk rock being made in this city right now
And last but not least Big Dave McLean. This guy is one of the best blues guitarists to ever live. He played with Muddy Waters back in the day and appeared on SNL with him. More people need to hear of Big Dave.
Yes to Robert Randolph and his family! Good stuff.
agreed. great, great, great live band. some that come to my mind:
ulu
u-melt
swampadelica
al and the transamericans
toubab krewe
north mississippi allstars
yonder mountain string band
reid genauer and the assembly of dust
antigone rising
ominous seapods
freebeerandchicken
juggling suns
There's a trapdoor in the sun!

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
A band that comes to mind is Silverchair. I'm sure a fair number of people have heard of them, but they never get the praise they deserve. All 5 of their albums are phenomenal in their own way, and not one sounds like the other.
Another band I did not see mentioned in the thread is Bela Fleck and The Flecktones. They are one of the most talented bands I've ever seen.
