Ah, well, if you're digging Blackest Eyes and Gravity Eyelids, then the metal influence that is present to varying degrees on In Absentia, Deadwing, and Fear Of A Blank Planet shouldn't be a problem for you. I'd say that the only heavier songs are Wedding Nails (In Absentia), Orchidia (Futile EP, In Absentia era), and parts of Anesthetize (FOABP).
Personally, my favourite of those three albums is Deadwing, but In Absentia deserves its reputation and FOABP was my album of 2007 until Alcest released Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde.

Bands I've heard about and always wanted to check out, but never have: Placebo, The New Pornographers, Sunny Day Real Estate, Mutemath . . . . I guess that's good for starters . . . .
. . . . oh, yeah, and this Explosions In The Sky band that I'm always seeing references to.

I have Sleeping with Ghosts, which I *love*, and Meds which I like but never got into as much as SWG. Great band.
I can't believe I don't have any New Pornographers, though I have some random songs in my iTunes, but Fitz you might like Neko Case (sometimes member of NP). Her album Fox Confessor Brings the Flood is fantastic--one of my favorite records from last year.

I only have 'In Rainbows' cause it was free.
The only other song I know is Creep.
This is a little late, but I'd definitely recommend "For Him And The Girls". A great example of his early signature sound, as well as his vocal range and abilities.joyfulgirl said:Hawksley Workman. I like every song I've ever heard but there are so many records I don't know where to start.

I know a few songs of Bright Eyes but where do I start?

Sunny Day Real Estate: I have Diary and The Rising Tide (I think The Rising Tide is a compilation). Both are very good.
U2isthebest said:The Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam

song and album.
volume is required. tinny little pc speakers won't do.
powerhour24 said:For Pearl Jam, to get their grunge roots, the height of their popularity, the essentials are Ten and Vitalogy, after that they become more esoteric, but for accessibility their self-titled is a go-to.
joyfulgirl said:
I agree. I'd start with either Debut or Post.

Avoid anything after Yield until you've already fell in love with them.

Do it. The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place and All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone are both fantastic albums.
