I'm always a little frustrated that everyone cites "I Believe In A Thing Called Love", when the next track, "Love Is Only A Feeling" is the superior track. It feels like a cover of a lost Queen song.

Junpei posted:The Darkness (Hit: I Believe In A Thing Called Love) I think it's very easy to write off The Darkness as just a daft, spoof hair-metal band - and yes, they are but they've also put out some really well crafted albums over the decades they've been kicking around. The aforementioned 'Permission to Land' is a top album as is 'One Way Ticket To Hell... And Back' which is great from start to finish. 'Hot Cakes' has a few strong songs like 'Nothin's Gonna Stop Us', 'With A Woman', & 'Living Each Day Blind' I never really took the time to listen to 'Last of Our Kind' but the single 'Barbarian' was pretty special if you'd like to hear an alternate universe version of Led Zepplin's 'Immigrant Song' Their latest studio album 'Pinewood Smile' however was a massive surprise. 'Buccaneers of Hispaniola', 'Southern Trains', 'Why Don't The Beautiful Cry?' 'Japanese Prisioner of Love', 'Lay Down With Me, Barbara' & 'I Wish I Was in Heaven' are all really strong. Enjoy.

Xiu Xiu? I've heard Girl With Basket of Fruit but I know they have a lot of range in their sound. What's something in their discography that's a bit more accessible?

Junpei posted:I just noticed I've been listening to a lot of rock/metal JRPG soundtracks, so that made me think: Are there any Japanese rock/metal bands I can listen too? This is a couple of months old and not exactly "rock" (more J-Goth) but Malice Mizer was basically a J-Goth/Darkpop supergroup that got mega famous in the mid-late 1990s that is worth looping back on. It's insanely theatrical so watching the performances is an important chunk of the experience but it's enjoyable just to listen to as well. Merveilles is a good album to start with because it was really "peak" Malice Mizer.

Dear God I Hate Myself and Always might be good starting points. Both have some good pop songs with the Xiu Xiu experimental noise added to them. Dear God was the first album with Angela Seo as a member and I think he has a big part in shaping their sound in that direction. Production is a little more polished overall but still noisey.

Gnarls Barkely's "St. Elsewhere" and "The Odd Couple" First two Goodie Mob albums His first solo album "Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections" is pretty cool. A lot of people prefer the follow-up, "Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine".

Junpei posted:Got some one-hit wonders I might think about doing deeper dives on. First two albums are okay and have some fun songs but don't expect anything like Groove. Second has a little better production overall and closer to the sound on Groove. Some repetitive dance tracks on World Clique (their first) that probably sounded fresh in the early 90s but pretty dated now.

Kvlt! posted:PJ Harvey? Dry , Rid of Me , To Bring You My Love for the 90's rock. Then I'd jump forward to Let England Shake, which is less rock-oriented, but with more interesting production, and stronger lyrics and more haunting imagery. I sent you a few songs from Dry and Rid of Me back when we were CineD horror discord regulars, so those may seem familiar.

Agree with the Boris suggestions so far but I'd like to add that Feedbacker and Flood are legitimate masterpieces. Maybe save them until after you've run through their more conventional material though, they're both a bit more on the experimental side. Also Rock Dream is one of the greatest live albums ever imo.

Killing Joke? I am likely not seeing TOOL on this recent tour, but seeing the opener made me realize I not super familiar with these guys other than the association with Martin Atkins and hearing "Love Like Blood" a few times in my blurry college days.

Can't go wrong with either self-titled imo. Work chronologically from whichever one you liked more.

This may be a tricky question, but is there a "best" place to start with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard? I know that part of their Thing is that each album has a different genre and vibe, so should I just go with "what genre do I wanna start with" and do that?

I'm partial to 12 Bar Bruise and Polygondwanaland. I like the new one, Infest the Rat's Nest as well. It's a nice ode to Doom Metal.

If I love Amoreena and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, what other Elton John poo poo should I give a chance? Also I love the beginning of Monkey Man by Rolling Stones while hating most everything else by the stones, including Monkey Man after the vocals start. While I'm posting here I want to say that Strangers by The Kinks sure is a real good song.

"Daniel", "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me". Albums? Either Madman Across The Sea, or a greatest hits compilation (Greatest Hits 1970-2002 seems perfect). fart store posted:Also I love the beginning of Monkey Man by Rolling Stones while hating most everything else by the stones, including Monkey Man after the vocals start.

Elton John's work between 1970 and roughly 1975 is pretty solid all around, and you could do worse than to just grab one of the albums from that period. That corresponds roughly to the first disc of the greatest hits collection that Franchescanado mentioned, so you could also give that a listen and explore based on the songs in there you like.
