recent discoveries rocking your world

[Anu]

These bands all deserve their own decadent, detailed, and drooling threads, but I'm supremely excited about discovering these artists, keeping 'em in high rotation.

Black Angels
Rapture
TV on the Radio

Your recent rock revelations?

Muse-Yeah I´m pretty late on the bandwagon. Actually heard about them in 2000 when I was in Japan. Had a British friend say they were amazing.

Checked them out on You Tube, and all I have to say is "mother mary of god". They blow everyone away right now.
I haven´t listened to any of their albums, just about 10 songs off of You Tube. But everything I´ve heard is mind blowing.

Junetile. Kind of a mixture between the acoustic stylings of Radiohead and Sigur Ros. Check them out:

[MrBrau1]

Badfinger albums:

No Dice
Wish You Were Here
Straight Up

Really brilliant power pop/rock from the sexy 70s.

 

[VintagePunk]

I already made a thread about this (that quickly died ) but Blue October has impressed the hell out of me, the best new (to me) band I've heard in ages, and certainly the one I've been most enthused about since The Killers. The difference is though, that Blue October already have 4 or 5 albums out, and while I've not heard them in their entirities, I've heard a few tracks off of each, and I pretty much love everything I've heard.

If you don't check them out, you're really missing out.

[Jack In The Box]

EF, epic but not cheesy Swedish post-rock, they have just one album called "Give Me Beauty... or Give Me Death!"

 

[MrBrau1]

and Willie Nelson. I'm digging his records from 72-74. Real good country music.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Handel
Vivaldi
Lizst
Dvorak
etc.

My Avatar speaks for itself

 

[zoney!]

tapes n' tapes. Dammit!

 

[LMP]

Seu Jorge (gotta love Bowie songs in Portugese)
The Shins (I liked them before, but Chutes Too Narrow is too catchy)
The Stooges (Iggy Pop is a fucking god.)
The Velvet Underground (White Light / White Heat )

 

[VertigoGal]

i'm predictably falling in love with Regina Spektor very quickly

 

[impy13]

I finally got into Okkervil River. Glad I did, too. Also feel like I'm being a better Austinite, as a result.

 

[Zoomerang96]

this is because of me, i assume.

Muse rocks my world.

 

[dudeman]

it's been going on 4 years now, but i just can't get over Broken Social Scene.
last year Minus the Bear found me. Holy shit (check out the tune 'Hey! Is That a Ninja Up There?' - terrible title, wonderful guitars!).
most recent discovery has been a band called Donora, from here in pittsburgh. spunky, fun indie-pop. check them out - you can link to tunes on myspace via their site

[U2Girl1978]

Massive Attack.

 

[MirrorballLemon]

Pilot Speed...their $5.99 album on Itunes is well worth it

 

[VertigoGal]

this is because of me, i assume.

yes

thank you

^I'm not too into them, but I have their cds and am going to see them next weekend. Can't wait since they have really good live shows!!!

I've been listening to a lot of Daniel Lanois recently, and not bc of his work w/ U2. I heard "The Maker" and fell in love. Also, I really like the unreleased track "I Like That" on his official website. Too bad it can't be bought anywhere.

 

[hippy]

The Secret Machines have been rocking my world really hard lately...

[Bug]

I'm in new, sweet, passionate love with DragonForce.
Cheese metal..

 

[UberBeaver]

Nothing really new in the past few months, but TV on the Radio, the Arcade Fire and Human Television are recent favorites.

I'm a bit ashamed to admit I've only gotten into Grant McLennan's Go-Between's (still not terribly fond of Robert Forster's Go-Bees material) and solo material since his death in May. I had known Grant's work with Jack Frost and had liked it (although my appreciation of that has also grown), but never got around to picking up any of his other work until after his death.

And even though I enjoy his music immensely, I always feel a twinge of sadness when I hear it as he died far too young.

 

[1stepcloser]

I'm a bit of a latecomer to the brilliance of the Arcade Fire

 

[2morrow]

Arcade Fire. Anyone know if they're coming out w/ a new album soon?
