"I like bands such as The White Stripes, Eagles of Death Metal, The Raconteurs..." These bands, and others like them, are the most popular ones in the recent garage rock revival. This is part of an ongoing rediscovery of sixties bands such as The Sonics that played aggressive, stripped-down versions of what they were hearing from British Invasion music (but a hell of a lot better). The Gun Club, especially their album Fire of Love, was an early 80s band that combined garage rock, punk, blues, and country to make a unique, fantastic sound that has been cited as hugely influential by people such as Jack White. There's probably hundreds if not thousands of fantastic modern garage rock bands, but here's a few: The Mummies, Thee Headcoats, Thee Oh Sees, Cheap Time (and anything released by In the Red Records), Carbonas (and almost anything released by Douchemaster Records). kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Jan 16, 2009 |

Van or Astrovan posted:I'm looking for loud, noisy psych-rock that isn't too noodle-y or prog-y. Two examples that I really like are Comets on Fire and the Crystal Antlers EP. How about The Black Angels? They're a bit slower than Crystal Antlers but are in a similar vein. Edit: okay I'm giving Comets On Fire a listen and I think The Black Angels are way more mellow than what you're looking for, so nevermind, sorry! Edit edit: how about A Place to Bury Strangers? kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 10:12 on Jan 17, 2009 |

dgt posted:I am very well aware of Gang of Four, and Devo are probably one of my favorite bands ever, and I have pretty much everything they've ever done (including bootlegged demos), but I've never heard any Certain Ratio or much Echo outside of KIlling Moon and Lips like Sugar. I'll give 'em both a chance. Thanks! Also try Josef K, they seem to be your sort of thing if you like Magazine. If you can get into the funkier side of post-punk, try: The Au Pairs, Delta 5, The Slits, Bush Tetras, Liquid Liquid and The Pop Group.

cheeseboy posted:I've recently grown to like what I can only describe as drone-ish punk rock. Bands like No-Age or Boris are kind of what I'm talking about. I'm not really interested anything too metal or heavy though. Anyone have any recommendations for stuff like that? The term you're looking for, I believe, is noise rock. Obvious suggestions would be Sonic Youth (EVOL, Sister and Daydream Nation), Dinosaur Jr, and The Jesus Lizard. As far as newer stuff, Titus Andronicus and Vivian Girls.

Harvest Goon posted:You have "SUPER" compatibility with me, so lemme tell ya: you need some Unwound. Repetition has sort of a Cave-In/Blonde Redhead feel to it, and it's a great album to start with, but Leaves Turn Inside You is their double-disc magnum opus. Much more "progressive" and majestic in many ways. You will not be disappointed, I know because we have the same ears Rites of Spring and Nation of Ulysses as well.

I'm looking for something pop-punky and sing-along-able, but a little edgy too The Thermals (poppy garage rock), Bratmobile (riot grrrl), Cheap Time (straight-up garage), Hot IQs (power pop).

Though I've seen a lot of people hate on them, A Place To Bury Strangers seems right up your alley, too. Halfway between MBV and noise rock. And I think that WPC may have actually meant to link to page 14 in this thread (there was discussion of noise rock there).

augustaugustaugust posted:I'm looking for a new obsession. I need music that gives me a concept or good lyrics to think about while I'm enjoying the music, I like a bent sense of humor, I like it loud, I like texture and odd instrumentality, I like pop music that is pushing beyond the bounds of pop music. The following bands have filled this role for me at one time or another: The Frogs, Nick Cave, Butthole Surfers, Gang Gang Dance.

I really like me some Kanye and the hillarious lyrics of Lil' Wayne and I've been digging Q-Tip lately and certainly like N.E.R.D. as well, anything with a nice beat and some solid lyrics (even if they are awful enough to be hillarious) would be appreciated. I believe you're looking for Spank Rock. They have a good LP, and one of their songs is titled "shake it til my dick turns racist." yeah

CaptainScraps posted:I'm in Austin now and every damned band in the world comes through here during the year. I'm looking for fun, upbeat bands that play with a ton of energy and have an indie rock bent- think Matt and Kim. Thanks so much guys. Okay, usually I would list a lot of indie/pop/garage/rock bands, but since you live in Austin, I'm going to recommend you just go to a show every night of the week. It should be pretty hard to avoid finding the kind of music you're looking for.

Muffin Loaf posted:A couple of separate taste-expanding questions: Can: Tago Mago is the most-discussed album, but Ege Bamyasi is the most accessible (and still amazingly good), so I'd start with that. After those two, Future Days, then the rest. Echo and the Bunnymen are somewhere on the poppier/synthier side of post-punk. I'd check out Josef K, Killing Joke, and although they don't sound much like Echo, The Jesus and Mary Chain just because of the scene from High Fidelity where the guy goes in asking for Echo and the Bunnymen.

You should check out the other stuff Switch has produced, he just collaborated with Diplo on a project called Major Lazer.

Rat Salad posted:Are you looking specifically for 77 punk or what? Like I guess you just want a starting point, but you maybe can't imagine how much there is to learn about. Here's some accessible older stuff that'll give you a bit of an idea of the range of poo poo out there, but really you just gotta do your own research. I don't really think he's looking for straight-ahead punk if he didn't like Nevermind but loves London Calling.

A Violence Gang posted:I'd also like some recommendations along the lines of stuff I was suggesting -- stuff with a heavy punk influence but integrating that into something a more diverse than traditional punk. More... melodic maybe? Gun Club and Gang of Four were all I could think of along those lines, so if anybody's got some suggestions like that, that would be awesome. But I never really got into much of the stuff described as "post-punk" or anything with much New Wave influence so that might rule out a lot of bands that kinda meet this criteria. Well, there's a lot of different kinds of post punk. I would recommend The Au Pairs to start; they basically sound like a feminist Gang of Four. Then on to: The Slits, Liquid Liquid, Josef K, X, The Pop Group, Public Image Ltd. There's also many good genres that split off from punk that could sorta-kinda be classified as post punk. Check out Rites of Spring (post-hardcore) and Royal Trux (noise rock).

Bean_ posted:Looking to get into some "house" music. I downloaded "World's Greatest Electro House" from amazon for $3, and have fallen in love. Well, this style of house has eight million blogs about it, so it's pretty easy to get into. Just get mixes from discobelle, disco dust, and the Mad Decent podcasts. There's other kinds of house other than this, though. Watch the documentary "Pump Up the Volume," it's on google video.

Ashenai posted:Help me NMD, I'm really tired of having the musical tastes of a 16-year-old girl. Since you liked that Calvin Harris track, you might like some synthy stuff. One of my favorites is New Order. Here's a more guitar-based song of theirs, and here's their most famous song, the best-selling 12" single of all time. There's nothing wrong with 80s dance-pop. The Human League are fantastic, and you've probably heard this song on a Swiffer ad or whatever. Aside from that, here's a few shots in the dark, like Threatis did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd9nKsKC7Ow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlQY3Gmalxo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFuujExs03A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN9x6zckn18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_tK1xw8AzA There's a 75% chance that the band you're looking for is The Smiths, though.

Cyril Sneer posted:Oh, I have. I don't care for most of it though - the song you posted sounds very different than typical disco sound. Well, it depends what you mean by "typical disco sound." It definitely is fairly unique in that it's one of those things that's not what we think of as falling neatly into the "disco" category along with Gloria Gaynor or whatever, but the songs that got played in Paradise Garage were a lot more varied. I'd recommend the Fabriclive 36 mix, which is fantastic disco, and the "Disco Not Disco" series of compilations. An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48xdD_ITwLY I realize that I said "early disco" and that really isn't accurate; a lot of this great poo poo was made after the general public was over it.
