bands you think people should listen to

j0e9o

I wanted to make a thread where ppl could tell each other about bands they have discovered and really enjoy their music and think others should listen too here goes:

Cave In

Porcupine Tree

Paradise Lost

Sarky

ZZ Top.

Only started actually listening to them a while ago, and I never realised how good they were. Anyone into blues and/or rock should listen to them. La Grange is a masterpiece of a song.

dregin

Thoria

Doctor J

Mindfunk

Psychotic Waltz

Spiral Architect

Masters Of Reality

Zombienosh

the bands i think people should listen to?

are the bands that they want to listen to, dont be influenced by others or by media corporations like mtv and blah blah.
get out there see local people and unsigned people.

egan007

Black Keys - oh yes

mayordenis

Manowar and rhapsody

end communication

Cactus Col

I shouldn't have to say it but will anyway:

Faith No More

Shazbot

its brought up time and time again , but i have to say it .......

opeth

iron maiden

sprinkles

The Killers!!!!!

Razorlight (becoming popular now)

The Concretes

Hope of the States

Thirteen Senses

The Arcade Fire

The Beatles (My tip for the top!!)

Pugsley

I think everyone hsould try 'Opeth' at least once, some early In Flames stuff is also a must to hear, particularly off albums like Whoracle and The Jester Race. Chidlren of Bodom are also worth a try, as they have quite a distinct sound to them, and some superb music behind them, Sonata Arctica are also a must for anyone considering power metal, superb band, particularly songs off the album 'Silence'. 'Carcass' are also definately worth a listen, unbelievably heavy considering they were out in the 80s.

Ph3n0m

Carcass
Iron Maiden
Faith No More
Suicidal Tendencies
Opeth
Vader
Sacred Reich
Anthrax/SOD
Exodus
BoltThrower
Death
Obituary
Napalm Death

loads of them, too many to list

I second that. there are many awesome unsigned bands in Ireland -go appreciate them now.

theres also the
flecktones should blow anyone out of the water. (though give a second to adjust, the banjo comes as a surprise!)
dave matthews band -well, they are hit and miss. and well, i love em.
And in general , i find any jam band is a treat to hear.

yeaaa... happy listening~Beth

Paradise Lost
Opeth
Nightwish
Inextremo ( Quite wierd but i like them)
Horselips

Rush
Steve Vai ( if your a guitarist)
and on the note I recommend
Michael angelo batio, Yngwie Malmsteen and Alan Holdsworth.

There you go. You asked, I delivered.

Much as I dislike hardcore/emo as a rule, I really think Jetplane Landing are worth a shot.

Also:

Mine would be:

Reverend Bizarre (Doom)
Khold (Black Metal)
Ritual Carnage (Thrash Metal)

Well, if you're into indie, I'd suggest...

Internationally:

---

Interpol

At Home:

---

God Is An Astronaut
Jetplane Landing


Edit: If you're interested in seeing what everyone else is listening to, I suggest going to http://www.audioscrobbler.com and looking for the Boards group. I think its down as "Boards Dot Eye EE" or something like that, and is in the "Websites" section. A list of what everyone is listening to is updated there.

I wonder how many people actually read the posts here instead of just skimming to the end so they could post their own...

Oh well.

Dredg
Menomena
Strata
Onesidezero
Dispatch
State Radio

It's only recently I discovered the sounds of Sonata Arctica, Turisas and Nightwish.

Highly recommended!

Andrew WK - Give him a chance, you wont regret it.

Rancid - if you dont already have one, buy a cd this minute

NOFX - needless to say?

The Vandals - play here this month - see you there!

all his songs sound the same, and thats what makes him great he doesnt mess with perfection

get Winterheart's Guild by sonata Arctica in my opinion, its fairly new but its excellent.

Steven

Every metal band in the universe (or at least in my collection) has already been mentioned so how about some Hot hot heat or low-fi moderate rock in the form of Bloc Party and everyone should have at least a working knowledge of Nine Inch Nails.

Deadwing

FAILURE
Most underrated band ever.

Autolux
And you will know us by the trail of dead
Sigur ros
Suicidal tendencies
Type o negative
The melvins

Shiminay

Good call on Sikth Reno - had a pint with one of their guitar players after their funking nuts gig with Akercoke (who were poor in this metallers opinion) in TBMC a while ago - sound bloke, mental gig!

Might I also add:
Converge
Norma Jean
Opeth
Machine Head
Death

summer_ina_bowl

Muse.
Muse.
Muse.
Oh and erm, muse are good.

Scratch Acid

Breadwinner
Nomeansno
Blind Idiot God

If your a cynic fan. Then I highly recommend AGHORA.

You can buy there album from here for about 12 yoyo's including shipping.

These guys produce this album on there own. So I urge you not to copy it or download it. Buy it. You can here samples at there site. www.aghora.org

It features the drummer and bassist from cynic. Sean Reinert and Sean Malone!!

It's argue-able that there's not a soul out there who hasn't heard the downright over-played, over-rated Chillies, so why bring them up at all?

jamie90

.....Errr because there a great band, better than the bands you came up with maybe, everyone has there own opinion and i disagree with you - Over rated my ... Beee hind if they wernt any good they wouldnt still be going you just have to look at how many albums they sold too know how good they really are
