lovenmercy Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I think Radiohead, The Flaming Lips("Ancient Melodies of the Future"), and Beck ("The Information" and "Guero") are kind of "duh" answers, so I'll go with... Built to Spill "You in Reverse"My Morning Jacket "Z"The Doves "Some Cities"The National "Alligator"Ray LaMontagne "Trouble" and "Till the Sun Turns Black"Spoon "Gimme Fiction"South kicks ass as well. I believe their first cd is self-titled. Also, I wouldn't waste my time on Bright Eyes, Death Cab, or Elliot Smith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Death Cab For Cutie stinks and so does My Morning Jacket. The real bands that produce new and creative music over many of years are: The Flaming LipsSonic YouthRadioheadYo La Tengo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blindgonzo Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 To help you out a little--Ys isn't her first album and technically it's not out yet. The street date for the disc isn't until Nov. 14. You think you dig Ys, you should check out The Milk-Eyed Mender. Thanks, I'll definitely be checking out The Milk-Eyed Mender and I am planning on buying the actual album when it comes out!! Have to support amazing artists! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lovenmercy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 well, I guess to add to my previous list, Neil Young is actually still going string, isn't he? What does Neil Young's underwear choice have to do with this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

via_sanantonio Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 No love for TV on the Radio? Albums get better and better - and a great, great show at the Metro last Monday night...Return To Cookie Mountian is probably the best album this year. I saw them open up for NIN in June and they were stellar. The Young Liars EP is one of the best recordings i've heard, Staring At The Sun is such a beautiful song.

yermom Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Bobby Bare Jr. LouieB I have rocked out to Singin' in the Kitchen (I put it on when I saw shel silverstein's name on it) but I've never realized there was a grown bobby, jr. I'll have to check him out now. Thanks! Most of the folks who first came to mind for me (my two year old and I just had a sing along to Neko in the car) have already been mentioned. My only original addition to the list for now:Kimya Dawson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poonkorama Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 In addition to many of the bands already mentioned in this thread: The Court & Spark: These guys are on the top of their game right now, and currently on a streak of really solid records (Bless You --> Witch Season --> Hearts). Opened for Wilco in Berkeley last year. The Mother Hips: No longer on hiatus, with a new album tentatively coming out this Spring. Recent shows have been on fire. And no, they're not a hippie band, as everyone seems to think. Billy Midnight: Relatively unknown band out of San Diego. Self-titled record from 2001 is one of my favorite albums...ever. Rumors of a new record are surfacing. Live shows are invariably amazing; unfortunately, they don't play outside of the San Diego area that often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
