Okay, there are lots of great and wonderfull bands out there. There are always new or old things to (re)discover. Do you know what I mean? If you do, what was your latest 'musical discovery'?? I've discovered a band called Santana, and WHOW, they are so good. Especcially that cover they made of Black Magic Woman. Dear lord, how fantastic!! I haven't heard mutch of them, but I'm already addicted.
Wow you found Santana!! brilliant! they're awesome! My GREATEST musical discovery was when i found King Crimson and they quickly became my favourite ever band... they are fantastic... I heard a clip of 21st Century Schizoid Man and spent about 4 months chasing it up until i found the whole thing, then i just got everything i could find! My most recent musical discovery was Radiohead. I knew about them vaguely, but had never, ever listened to them, i can't believe that now, they are such an amazing influential group. I LOVE Wolf at the Door from Hail to the Thief, and Fake Plastic Trees from The Bends. WOWOOW!!! Oh, my favourite Santana song is She's not there. that just Rocks!! jaz
Santana are great. I don't really know what's my newest discovery, I keep discovering new stuff all the time! I guess that it might be The Mahavishnu Orchestra... a great band a love them so much, I guess I'll start a thread about them!
I know they aren't new, but... Recently I've discovered Peanut Butter Conspiracy and Jethro Toll. Woohoo! Good stuff.
I recently "discovered" Ravi Shankar. I already knew of him, but I just started listening to his music. I have to say, it's really great... if you like instrumentals. George Harrison said that Ravi Shankar is the godfather of music.
I recently discovered an electronic artist called KiloWatts, less recently I 'discovered' Death Cab for Cutie, which I had heard of, but never really listened to their music, but now that I did, I can't regret it, they're damn awesome, and also Modest Mouse, Nightwish, and other electronic dudes, Vanek and Orphax.
yeah, Radiohead is my most recent musical discovery also. i had heard some of their stuff, and kind of liked it, but i never really "listened" to them before. now i cant stop. Radiohead is seriously one the my favorite bands ever. Hail to the Thief is my favorite album i think. Idioteque and High and Dry are two of my favorite Radiohead songs.
But, by newest you didn't mean a recent band did you? Cause The Mahavisnu Orchestra are definitely not recent!
I guess my newest musical discovery was Sublime. I saved two of their albums on my computer, and they're quite great - unfortunately, I haven't listened to them in awhile because I've been listening to some many other albums.
I've known THe Mahavishnu Orchestra before and yes they're quite good. My newest musical discovery, which I'm more than glad that I discovered is Indie (rock and pop). It's really good in my opinion. I like indie pop even more than I like indie rock. (stuff like Bishop Allen, The Unicorns,...) Love, Borut
newest discoveries New artist - Octopus Syng (Finnish hippie psych folkie type, also very Syd Barrett influenced) Old artist - John Renbourn (Lady and The Unicorn and The Hermit albums specifically)
re-discovering stuff....for the past month or so i have been listening to cd's that i've had for years but never took the time to let them grow on me. Mazzy Star (So Tonight That I Might See) The Gathering (How To Measure a Planet , If_then_else) The Dandy Warhols (The Dandy Warhols Come Down)
Hey Jaz have you ever heard the 50 mins live version of 21st Schizoid man? awesome, its around the time when mel colins played with them
mine would be the killers...despite the the in their name, their not another 60s-70s inspired band or whatnot. theyre actually pretty good, if you're into new wave.
my most recent discoveries are probably... Mr. Bungle Primus Thumper Monkey King Crimson The eagles Dredg Burp Fancy Lady
