QFT!

Though my favorite NIN stuff is Broken & Downward Spiral.

My first live show I saw was NIN & David Bowie in '95 and haven't missed an instate show since (which is a total of about 5-6 shows). Saw him/them two days in a row last year. Can't wait for the Year Zero tour to come by.

I was a huge Public Enemy fan but their latest stuff really doesn't do it for me. Fuck copyright laws. Terminator X's samples where the shiz.

I really like the Go! Teams first album and I saw them life last January. They were OK and the singer has real good stage presence but the sound was too muddled but that could have been a one off. Their latest album is a little bit flat. What do you think?

Oops and i forgot one very important band in my line up.

The Fall

[drmcboy]

Radiohead
Wilco
Ben Folds
Tool
Damien Rice
Ray
Spoon
Amos Lee
Hayden
Wolf Parade
Modest Mouse
David Gray
Annuals
Sean Lennon
Arcade Fire
Artic Monkeys
Bright Eyes
Andrew Bird

that's the list of concerts I go look for when we need a show to go too, so add old favs like zep, beatles, bob, dead, floyd, Van, the who, Nirvana, other grunge mainstays. I had a falling out with DMB about 5 years ago.

[martindcx1e]

Wolfmother

yay another wolfmother fan!

i'm just glad no one has put nickelback here. if they did i would lose all respect for them as a human being.

I love the new Go! team album. Aaah, the Fall - Mark E Smith is a legend - I don't expect any US FTR's will have heard of him though.

[Jibalob]

There's a load more but these are off the top of my head - I'm big into music and listen to just about everything:

AFI
Deftones
Dire Straits
Fall Out Boy
Guns'n'Roses - (how have they not been mentioned yet??)
Korn
Less than jake
My Chemical Romace
Muse
Nirvana
NOFX
Pink Floyd
Rage Against The Machine
The Offspring (Only the old stuff)

[ChrisTheFish]

WTF

[Jibalob]

???

[ChrisTheFish]

???

Terrible bands obv

[Jibalob]

I can see why some people would say that about Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romace but AFI kick ass IMO

[biondino]

Silu and Kevster are my only real homiez so far.

Here's a few more:

Belle and Sebastian
Joanna Newsom
Lambchop
The Sundays
The Be Good Tanyas
Throwing Muses
The Cure
The Magnetic Fields


I wonder if the one black guy who once checked out an FTR page (back in 2004, I think it was) is going to post?

[biondino]

(and rumours have it a woman once considered visiting but at the last moment decided not to bother. Her view would be good too)

[WillburForce]

Sir Bob Dylan
The Smiths
The Stone Roses
Happy Mondays
Blur
Leonard Cohen(if your in the mood to top yourself after losing another stack with TPTK)
Gn'R
Lionel Richie(seriously, the guys a genius)
Artic Monkeys are the best band about the moment

[kmind]

???

Terrible bands obv

AFI's old shit is good.

[badgers]

Muse
Radiohead
Rage
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
System of a down
Killers
Kaiser Chiefs
Foo Fighters
Porcupine Tree

And a load of jazz + Big band stuff too. Oh and latin stuff, and classical, dance when drunk. Anything with good drums/ percussion and I'm happy tbh.

[Renton]

btw

King Crimson Red is a FUCKING INCREDIBLE ALBUM.

[kettleofish]

I think this thread would have more value if rather than long lists of bands, people just focused on a couple of their faves and gave a bit of info about their sound/style etc. and why they are teh awesomest band in the history of muzak. Some good stuff listed though, particularly your's Renton. Frank Zappa was one kerazy fucking musical genius A few from me:

Nomeansno: Awesome off-kilter "punk" band from the early 80s. Were wierd and bass-led before it was cool to be wierd and bass led ( i think Mr Bungle, Primus & possibly even the Chili's borrowed liberally from their style. Although mr Claypool is probably a better bass player tbh). And they're still fucking rockin it, i saw them a few weeks ago and they were AMAZING. 2 hour set with extra helpings of bass-noodling FTMFW.

Horse the Band: These guys are just bizarre. 80s synth pop meets progressive hardcore (i hate the label progressive harcore, but it's appropriate in this case). Plus they dress like true champions, multicoloured tracksuits and matching headbands are a good look.

Buck 65: My one and only foray into Hiphoppery. I hate the whole culture that is associated with most mainstream hiphop, the guns and bling schtick makes me want to punch things, and i've let it get in the way of me even attempting to see what sort of other hiphop there is out there. But Buck 65 really is quite good, especially for a white man

I got more, but this is long enough already.

[Jimmy Mac]

I can't believe no-one has mentioned The Pixies - everyone should listen to Doolittle it's the greatest rock album ever IMO. Nirvana were my fav when i was growing up tho

[ChrisTheFish]

I can see why some people would say that about Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romace but AFI kick ass IMO

Ok, i listened to some stuff and ill give you that. They arn't as bad as i thought. MCR and FOB are really just not good bands..

[biondino]

I can't believe no-one has mentioned The Pixies - everyone should listen to Doolittle it's the greatest rock album ever IMO.

I reckon you can extrapolate my Pixies-love from my mention of Throwing Muses

Shall I start a "best gig" thread?

[Kagey]

King Crimson Red is a FUCKING INCREDIBLE ALBUM.

I prefer 'Islands'

The fall
Giant sand
Van der graaf generator
John cale
Wire
Joy division
Minor threat
fairport convention
non prophets
Art brut
slint
swell maps

And 'the rakes' are free in concert after the rugby if anyone is in Paris.
