Psycho Pie posted:Looking for some American Underground or similar music to add to my collection. I've already got all the OMG MUST HAVE albums, and I'd like to know where to go from there. 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

Pyramid Head posted:Lately I've been enjoying hardcore punk bands Flipper and Reagan Youth. I've heard a lot of the popular bands in this genre, but these were the only two that I really enjoyed. Can anyone recommend bands similar to them, preferably on the more obscure side of the hardcore punk spectrum? Swans are like Flipper but even more dirgey and depressing, if that's a direction you'd like to go in. Otherwise, try Austin, Texas-based hardcore bands Big Boys, The Dicks, and MDC. Scratch Acid isn't a typical punk band, but they make great "horror-rock" music, is about the best way I can describe it.

Get the album Raise by Swervedriver. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHva52tOoeo One of the few MBV contemporaries that matched the "heaviness" of Loveless.

Yergie posted:Let me see, I've been listening to a lot of Patterson Hood, Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, and Drive-By Truckers, with a little Pavement since yesterday. Check out Dumptruck and their album For the Country. Also, you can't go wrong with The Gun Club's debut album Fire of Love. The former is alt-country and the latter is more like "punk blues" as it's been described. But you should definitely enjoy them!

DrRimbaud posted:I'd appreciate recommendations on more contemporary bands featuring male/female screaming in the vein of Antischism or Circle Takes the Square or Bloodlined Calligraphy. Thanks in advance! You could try Rodan. They only had one real album, "Rusty" but there are a few songs on it that might reach what you're looking for.

I'm sure Beck has done something like that but he probably threw some 60's mod-rock in there for good measure.

Turd Nelson posted:I'm looking for weird music. Maybe that's not the right word for it, but I'm looking for any kind of song that is somewhat obscure and catchy. Yes! Listen to Scratch Acid, they've got that goofy/creepy country-punk sound down, and all their poo poo is available on one compilation CD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKe95JQ98UY Also check out one of their biggest influences, The Birthday Party http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5I2vEcVC_I And the band Scratch Acid later became, The Jesus Lizard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wilcAlAal8 These are all just bands that are somewhat related to each other, there's way more stuff that I could get into but I'm sure others will be able to chime in too.

Mad Eddy posted:I've been getting into Dillinger Escape Plan lately, the screaming vocals turn me off a little, but that's why I absolutely adore Black Bubblegum and Milk Lizard. Any other bands that you could recommend that sound like those songs? It would be great if there were some more Dillinger songs like that (although if I don't like screaming vocals I might not be apart of Dillinger's target audience). Probably Tomahawk. Greg Puciato gets a lot of poo poo for sounding kind of like Mike Patton, but this is good news for you! You want this poo poo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt856_nRxQk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9_V2kcYCQM

Dominic R. posted:something like Flipper - Album Generic. I want to feel and hear the same gently caress it, or oops there was a gently caress up? whatever gently caress it keep going. Good luck with it ;/ The band that best approaches Flipper's nihilism is Swans, in fact their songs are even slower and dirgier. But for the "gently caress up" part you might wanna try Butthole Surfers, especially their earlier albums.

Hypnolobster posted:Alright, Television, Minutemen and Doctors of Madness. What other really early punk/underground rock (I think that's what Television is. Genre's confuse me) should I look for? Those three off the top of my head all seem to have incredible songwriting and great technical proficiency. Saccharine Trust is an SST band with great guitar work, sort of like a jazzier Minutemen.

Yoshifan823 posted:1). Really banging, driving rock/pop music. I don't quite know how to describe it, but something that is all climax, so to speak. I just got Pop Levi's first album, and stuff I'd put in a similar set is The Hives and Asteroids Galaxy Tour (I know those don't sound too much alike, but I hope somebody gets what I'm talking about). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY4NVp5Hbf0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leM9qOKIGsA

rum sodomy the lash posted:Hmm, haven't tried this thread in years so might as well. Right now my top listened to artists are the Clash, Drive-By Truckers, Bob Dylan, The Pogues, Randy Newman, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, M.I.A., Hank Williams, the Mummies, the Felice Brothers It's sorta a jumble of genres, but I love folk, country, rock, punk, garage, or any fusion of those. I love songwriting that tells... I guess socially conscious stories? Although explicit 60s protest songs are annoying, excluding Dylan who'd I argue never did explicit protest songs. Any ideas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGv4-KpOS-M The Gun Club should cover at least a few of those genres.

funkybottoms posted:all CCR is good. "Fortunate Son" is one of my favorite CCR songs, but it's somewhat idiosyncratic in that it's bit faster and more hard-rock-sounding than most of their other songs. if you're not sold on CCR, maybe check out some of their contemporaries, instead. Just listen to The Gun Club. They did a pretty cool cover of "Run Through The Jungle" so they def. know how to make cool roots-type rockin music.

Servaetes posted:Recently, been on a Cake kick. They've got a super mellow minor key sound that I am really loving. I listened to a bit of Soul Coughing as well and liked their sound. However, Soul Coughing's lead singer broke off and did his own album and I despised it. Any suggestions for a Cake-like band? Or a particular album of theirs to listen to? Listen to Morphine, start with Cure for Pain

P0PCULTUREREFERENCE posted:Came here to post this exact thing. One of my favorite albums of all time, and I'm amazed when people familiar with that decade's music don't know it. They get lumped in with punk music because they played at CBGB's but they really don't fit the bill at all. Still more punk than Blondie though...

-Atom- posted:Can someone recommend me something along the same lines of Q and Not U's first album No Kill No Beep Beep? I was hoping I would get something similar out of the later two albums but they took a weird turn that I wasn't into. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soYtPp5rHmc If you're looking for a sound from just one album, try another band that only made that sound for a single record. No Knife's Riot For Romance is the closest I've come to getting that Q And Not U sound without just listening to other Dischord or DC bands.

-Atom- posted:I like two of the groups you mentioned (Bear vs. Shark and So Many Dynamos) so I feel like this might be a good thing to jump into. The other guy who responded to you, I don't necessarily agree with his list. It seems to focus more on math-rock than this "Dischord/DC sound" that I personally tend to associate with Q and not U. I mean, you'll probably still like a lot of that music anyway but maybe not for the same reasons. Fugazi's End Hits and The Dismemberment Plan are still your best bets, in my opinion. But you probably already know about them so I don't know what to tell ya!

Count Chocula posted:These days I pretty much only listen to garage, modern rockabilly, and Springsteen influenced folk-punk. Are there any bands in the vein of Gaslight Anthem, The Hold Steady, The Loved Ones, Frank Turner, Lucero, Drive-By Truckers or Titus Andronicus? Listen to Hot Snakes for the love of God! Before it's too late! Also if you like soul-bearing energetic rock music you'd want The Replacements, Craig Finn's favorite band.

Blazing Ownager posted:I'm looking for some music in a genre I've had a soft spot for, but can barely find any of: Namely, "heavier" spins on Spaghetti Western style music, from rock to metal to industrial or maybe even limited techno. Actually, any musical twists on the genre would be cool. The showdown music in Season 4 of Breaking Bad felt like modernized SW music as well, while not being heavy at all, but I still like it. You might like the song "Zachariah" by The Jesus Lizard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN3ZcbGwBxw
