Analogman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I swear to satan if you do a search you will find several threads on what you are asking about. Here are six threads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkstar Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You could give Mogwai a try, or perhaps Explosions In The Sky. If you like spacey, instrumental driven rock it just might work for you. Any of their albums would be fine to start with.....in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have been here too long. I think this is an ongoing topic forever. I hit the wall last week when someone suggested that Van Morrisson was underappreciated....

tongue-tied Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Elliott Smith Earlimart's "Treble and Tremble" sounds like and is mostly about Elliott Smith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmait Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 >Explosions In The Sky They sounded great on the last Austin City Limits. Reminded me of Pavement. I'm not if sure how an entire show of those kind of instrumentals would be, but the few songs sounded great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Here's a few newish bands - all of which have had great albums out this year - all with handy myspace links (aren't i kind of heart?): citay (sound like acoustic led zeppelin)lavender diamond (like how pop music should be)panda bear (not the beatles, but the beach boys)gruff rhys (not a new talent, by a long stretch - but a new album, none-the-less) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boywiththorninside Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I hit the wall last week when someone suggested that Van Morrisson was underappreciated.... LouieB I didn't start the thread, but I made that observation. I was born after his initial great run (Astral - Veedon) so maybe my perspective is skewed. All I know is I feel he has a body of work that stands comfortably alongside many of his contemporaries, and yet he doesn't seem to share the same acclaim. The kids today seem to love Dylan, the Beatles, the Who, the Stones, etc. Van Morrison? Not so much. I don't hear his name mentioned nearly as often. I'm not saying Van Morrison has wallowed in obscurity, I just feel, in comparison to others of similar accomplishment, he gets somewhat overlooked. I could be wrong. To me, he's underappreciated. You could have a completely different - and better - perspective. I can accept that. Forgive me for calling him underappreciated. Now can we never mention this again. Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back to the topic at hand: Jens Lekman - "Night Falls Over Kortedala." Check it out. It's not his best, but it's real good. Although, I will admit, it's not for everyone.

zebra Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 >Explosions In The Sky Hell yeah, I put my vote in to you for this band. I saw them on Conan O'Brien once and was hooked! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
