In that case I'd say listen to "Eve of Destruction" by Barry Mcguire, a protest song on par with the very best of Dylans folk/protest work. For stuff that sounds like Hurricane you should check out the whole Folk Rock scene in the 70's- Artists like The Band (Dylans own backing band), Fairport Convention, Neil Young (Harvest is a good starting point), Cat Stevens and The Travelling Wilburys. pablo gbscobar fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Jun 18, 2010 |

Anyone know any artists really similar to Andrew Bird? On a different tangent, artists similar to Boyz Noize, Justice, SebastiAn, Danger, MSTRKRFT and Bloody Beetroots? (basically any of those more heavy electro artists) Especially Andrew Bird though, I have listened to his albums almost non stop for the past few months and I still love them.

poop posted:Anyone know any artists really similar to Andrew Bird? Well early Andrew Bird is similar to current Andrew Bird, for one: His earlier pre-Swimming Hour stuff is pretty good but definitely closer to stuff like the Squirrel Nut Zippers than his later output. And he makes sure to really do a good job of improvising or otherwise modifying his songs when he's playing live. The Fingerlings collections have some great live stuff if you aren't in a position to go see him. St. Vincent collaborated with + has been compared to Andrew Bird a few times, so you could check her out. Sufjan Stevens usually also comes up in a list of similar artists but you've probably already heard his stuff. If you want to skew more twee then you could try out the Fruit Bats. If you want to skew more folksy then you could try Bowerbirds or DeVotchKa.

I agree. See if you can cotton to Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger as well. Also check out Dylan's Theme Time Radio Show, he really goes out of his way to cover a lot of the musical ground that he thinks is important+influential on it so it also works as a backwards sort of way to see what influenced Dylan.

If you can find the albums, the WOMAD releases pretty much invented World Music as a genre. Everyone non-Western that has appeared on anyone's releases, or got their own releases got their first breaks with those albums, and the following concert series.

The Tallest Man On Earth - Shallow Grave gets compared to Dylan a lot.

I've been recommended the Red House Painters and Sparklehorse. Which would you consider their best album each? I don't want to use the last.fm "Top albums" lists because they tend to consist of mediocre albums with only a few standout singles.

Red House Painters Their 1st s/t (aka rollercoaster) is consider their best by a lot of people but i prefer Down Colorful Hill

What bands are similar to Slowdive? I'm looking for the more dream pop side of shoegaze rather than the noisy abrasive stuff like MBV. All I've been listening to lately is Slowdive and Cocteau Twins.

Try Asobi Seksu if you like your dream pop dull and derivative with bland J-Pop vocals.

You just cast the widest net ever, because, as it turns out, England, America, and Canada aren't the only countries who make "upbeat poppy music". Be more specific.

You need Morning Musume in your life, particularly their 3rd to 6th albums though they are all okay those albums represent the "Golden Age" of the group. You should look into the other groups from Up-Front Works/Hello! Project too like W and soloists such as Matsuura Aya and Kusumi Koharu the latter being facemeltingly sweet.

All I've been listening to lately is Slowdive and Cocteau Twins. Try The Fauns. I was on a real Slowdive kick last year and looking for stuff that was new / not Slowdive, and ended up listening the hell out of their album. They aren't exactly the most innovative band you'll ever hear, but it worked for me anyway. Maybe Alison's Halo too, if you don't already know of them. Not consistently good in my opinion, but they don't exactly have a mountain of material to sort through. (Those are both big swooshes of noise / wall of fog bands I guess, but not in an abrasive way, and anyway I never did really find anything that scratched the same itch for me as the clean riffy portion of Slowdive's output). breaks fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Jun 23, 2010 |

I really like the song Kiwi Maddog 20/20 by Elliott Smith. I love Elliott Smith in general but I absolutely adore that song. It's different from many of his other songs and I'm wondering if there are any bands that play that kind of music or sound like that song i.e. Twangy country-esque guitar sound with lots of reverb, instrumental, downbeat and kind of spooky sounding. If this rings a bell please let me know. Here's the song on youtube for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DdBbLdSBzQ

Is there anything like Andy McKee but with vocals? The closest I've found so far is Tallest Man On Earth, but I can't find anything else with the awesome fingerpicking to go along with the vocals. Most recommendations just give me boring singer/songwriter type stuff. I've got the earlier Bob Dylan albums, so slash that off the list too. Thanks in advance

I have a more specific question for recommendations, I'm looking for more hip-hop or rap or even RnB that is similar to Badio - Touchdown. Most of his other stuff isn't as bouncy or "up" sounding. For some reason I also think of Wiz Khalifa - Pittsburgh Sound when I listen to "Touchdown", if that provides any more information on what I'm looking for.

Anything else like Ladyhawke - Magic around? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy3t6dDyXHg&playnext_from=TL&videos=jpVssAJ-Mbk I'm not big on pop but I absolutely love that song. In a similarly 80's vibe but slightly different, this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy3t6dDyXHg&playnext_from=TL&videos=jpVssAJ-Mbk Which is probably one of the best songs I've ever heard. I'm not an 80's retro freak, but if anyone knows of tunes similar to either of these two, w00t.

Yergie posted:I've really been digging the #1 Record/Radio City CD. What would be a good place to start branching out in power pop and that sort of music? After Big Star a lot of people think that Cheap Trick, The dB's, and Teenage Fanclub are the three biggest power-pop groups. At Budokan, Stands For Decibels, and Bandwagonesque are the three defining albums for each respective band. For my money, I never liked Cheap Trick as much as the other two but that's SORT of sacriligous, I know. Other things you should check out: The album Frosting on the Beater by The Posies which in MY opinion is the best incarnation of 90's power-pop. The production is definitely dated but the songwriting is top-notch. ALSO if you can track it down, Numero Group released a comp called Yellow Pills: Prefill which is a compilation of really great power-pop from the late 70's and 80's that is all in the vein of the rawer stuff from Big Star. The other Yellow Pills comps are great but all fall under really cheesy 90's power pop that some people find hard to stomach.

Thanks in advance There's this really amazing seattle duo called Thousands who makes some incredible fingerpicked folk music that i think would be right up your alley. Go here and listen to any of the tracks from the record, especially Red Seagulls and Everything Turned Upside Down to get an idea of how incredible it is.
