Everybody ought to check out the Olympic Hopefuls. They're a fantastic kinda local band... maybe a little too pop for some but not half bad.

Bash & Pop too. The band Tommy Stinson formed after the Replacements broke up... only put out one CD and did half a tour before breaking up but that one CD is awesome.

they're ok

I don't see a Velvet Underground thread in the B&C band index... I'm assuming most people know who they are though, Lou Reed, John Cale, wrote some of the greatest songs ever and influenced basically every modern band?

Right, they rule. My personal favourite is their third album which I believe was just called "VU." What Goes On, Pale Blue Eyes, Murder Mystery...

Other bands I've been listening to lately include Rage Against the Machine, Bright Eyes, Bloc Party, Interpol, Outkast, The Killers, and Alien Ant Farm. All fairly recent bands (except RATM which are obviously split up and Outkast has been around for about 10 years).

U2
The Killers
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin -- truly the best rock n' roll band ever

Moonlit_Angel · 06-21-2005, 10:12 PM

Only heard a bit of stuff by the Waterboys, but I don't mind 'em, no. "The Whole Of The Moon" is a great song

. Sinead's not bad, either

.

One band I've been getting into within the last year or so has been Squeeze. Don't see much talk about them here-anyone else got any thoughts on them? I really like what I'm hearing by them, too. And I will state once again that "Tempted" is really one of the coolest songs I've ever heard

.

There's also all the Finn-related stuff-Crowded House and Split Enz and them that I'm loving, too...but I know quite a few people here like them as well, so... (actually, this place is one I credit in part with getting me into that music. You guys who love those artists talked about 'em enough that I got curious and kept an eye out for any songs related to them, and the rest is history. So, yeah, thanks

).

I've got too many to mention but I'll just talk about Grant Lee Phillips. He's such an original singer and songwriter and his songs seem to come from some other dimension, which makes its difficult to believe he lives in LA! His solo work, and his work with Grant Lee Buffalo, are worth checking out!

And I love Squeeze too!

Irishteen · 06-23-2005, 05:30 AM

U2, Queen, Thin lizzy, Oasis and Gary Moore(best guitar player to ever come out of Northern ireland, dont want to say all of Ireland on these boards)

yertle-the-turtle · 06-23-2005, 07:16 AM

I confess to recognising the tune to 'Hey Dude' at a local record store and also mouthing the words to 'Tattva' on occasion.

I think Marco van Basten ought to release records, y'know.

Aardvark747 · 06-23-2005, 07:19 AM

Not a massive Hip-Hop fan, but I love Nas' stuff....

the soul waits · 06-23-2005, 07:23 AM

Lenny Kravitz

, Ben Folds, Jeff Buckley, to name a few.

Carmelu2fan · 06-23-2005, 02:37 PM

U2/The Clash/Jimi Hendix/The Who/ Rolling Stones/Marvin Gaye/ The Beatles/ Aretha Franklin/Johnny Cash/ Bob Dylan/Bruce Springstien/BB King/ Etta James..........This list could get really long ......but you get the idea!!

Bryan Adams

hippy · 06-23-2005, 07:25 PM

I came across another artist I love but I never have heard much about

Donovan

one of the most fantastic songwriters ever, imo

His album "Fairytale" is one of my most listened to albums... beautiful songs with incredible storytelling and simple musical arrangements
