Music?

What's everybody into on this forum?

Some of my favorite artists include Phish, moe., Steely Dan, Cake, Beck, MMW, Ryan Adams, Grant Green, etc. I'd like to think I have a pretty healthy variety in my collection.

 

lame

you know, like madonna, cher, etc.

 

LOL.

 

I like Madonna's latest album

I also like oasis, david bowie, arctic monkeys, and eminem.

 

I'm not really a madonna or cher fan..


I like a lot of different music, phish, moe., talking heads, radiohead, violent femmes, ween, les claypool/primus, cake, sigur ros, j5, pearl jam, etc. There are many more...

 

Are Cake much bigger in America than over here or something? I wouldn't have imagined anyone would mention them in their top 10 bands.

I'm all about Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Sonic Youth, The Paper Chase, Radiohead, Bjork, Mogwai... a load of stuff that doesn't get you laid, basically.

 

Nah, they're pretty much under the radar.

 

Here they were just another one of those American alternative bands that had a couple of top 40s and were being touted as the next big thing but never took off, like Guided By Voices.

 

Jazz: Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Ahmad Jamal, Larry Young, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Andrew Hill, Yusef Lateef, Charles Mingus, a bunch more...

Rockish/Poppish: Goo Goo Dolls, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flaming Lips, the Shins, the Sauce, Throwback, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews Band, more...

Classical: Rachmaninoff, Debussy, some more, can't think right now...

I'm kind of a music freak.

 

Who cares about hits? They have good music and their style is completely unique. They're not just "another one of those" bands.

Also, they are still together...

 

agreed...

I'm not really too fond of most of their hits..

 

I didn't mean it like that, just that they were kind of a one-hit wonder over here so it was kinda surprising to find people listing them among their favourite bands.

 

The UK is weird when it comes to music...

 

You're telling me:



^^^ NOT GAY.

I think it's because our top ten is governed largely by Pop Idol and our "indie" music press is divorced from reality. I don't know if America's any different, but I do hope.

 

My music is all over, mostly indy pop. I have 4,819 songs on my iTunes
-I'm expecting my hard drive to crash any day now.

Cake is cool, have you heard their cover of "I will survive?"
I go through phases.
I still like The Dandy Warhol's and Sneaker Pimps
and Sultans Of Ping a lot.

But at the top right now?
Gorillaz, Scissor Sisters, Bright Eyes, Eels, The Faint,
Spoon (sister jack piano demo!), Nachlader, Arctic Monkeys,
Art Brut, Goldspot, Wir Sind Helden.

Old stand-bys: David bowie (pre 1982), Iggy Pop, Fatboy Slim, Patty Smith,
Can, Moby, The Ramones, Roxy Music, Nirvana.

indi: Belle & Sebastian, Of Montreal, Razorlight, The Killers, Sondre Lerche,
Xiu Xiu, Aphex Twin, John Vanderslice, The Thrills, The Shins, sigur ros.

folked up: Devendra Banhart, Adam Green, Joanna Newsom

 

mychal, i like your style...:sunglasse

 

Thought I'd bump this thread and make it a kind of a music recommendation deely, rather than start a fresh one. Go listen to this band, it's the gayest thing I've heard since the Blood Brothers.

 

Well,Phish would be my favorite,i love moe.,also,the dead,beatles,floyd,mmw,sts9,ben kweller,radiohead,keller,etc.

 

has anyone mentioned scissor sisters yet? perhaps the gayest band lately, and quite good.

 

I really like your taste.
