Re: Rock/ALT./Indie recommendation thread

You need new shutters for your house? Or is that the name of a new band or album?

If you're going to be a smart-azz, at least learn how to spell the word properly.

Take care,
PK

Hahaha.

Art Brut
Queens of the Stone Age / Eagles of Death Metal
The Flaming Lips
Sleater-Kinney
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
The Black Keys
The Derek Trucks Band
The White Stripes
Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse / Ugly Casanova

Can't stand most of the bands on your list, but definitely agree about White Stripes, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and The Black Keys. Black Keys got such a funky sound but I love it. One of the most underrated bands right now.

And there's an always an elitist who comes along thinking they are high and mighty just because they listen to obscure music...

Pretty f'n ironic if you ask me.

Re: Rock/ALT./Indie recommendation thread

Very good album but for some reason i love their first more

Never heard their first one. I don't like Deja .... all that much(it is pretty good, I just don't listen to it that often), but I know people who absolutely love it and it fits well with his list I think.

How about sparing us the snippy comments and just give the guy what he was asking for?

1. I wasn't trying to be high and mighty. I'm just not impressed by any of the suggestions made.

2. Its hard to make suggestions when I don't like the music he said he would like it to compare to.

Re: Rock/ALT./Indie recommendation thread

Then why would you even reply? It's not like I'm going into rap threads and making posts similar to the one you made in this thread. I generally enjoy you as a poster, dieselboy, but that was really uncalled for.

Pretty f'n ironic if you ask me.

And on what basis is that?

Re: Rock/ALT./Indie recommendation thread

I'm not 100% sure how well they fit with the bands you listed, but here are my recommendations:

• Jimmy Eat World (Clarity, Bleed American, Futures)
• Our Lady Peace (Happiness... Is Not A Fish You Can Catch, Gravity, Healthy In Paranoid Times)
• Franz Ferdinand (Franz Ferdinand, You Could Have It So Much Better)
• Muse (Origin of Symmetry, Absolution)
• Weezer (Pinkerton, Green Album)
• Brand New (Your Favorite Weapon, Deja Entendu)

Re: Rock/ALT./Indie recommendation thread

I second the nominations for:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Fever to Tell)
Interpol (Antics - Their first album, although darker, is great too).
Bloc Party (Silent Alarm - great album from start to finish)

And finally, although no one has mentioned it:

Arcade Fire (Funeral)

The first one was very good and i love it because i can relate to it because it takes about alot of stuff that a highschooler and prlly someone and college goes through while Deja has more of an older feel to it

The Silent Alarm remix album is pretty good as well.
