Hot Chip and The Decemberists lol
Decemberists are unreal
I’m seeing them Sunday!
Just saw them in Philadelphia, like Coheed they just keep getting better and better.
That's awesome, have a great time! Definitely a bucket list show for me.
Saw them last summer and they killed. Just flawless.
Colin is a menace and I love him for it. I haven't given their new album a listen yet but I will be soon!
Same it’s on my list I just need a night when I can do a long drive for it.
A long drive with new music is so rejuvenating. Hope you get the opportunity soon! I'll be on a flight this weekend so I think I'll have it on then. When Vaxis II was released I was also on a trip and it made for a fucking incredible airport listen.
I recommend The Crane Wives too, they're named after a Decemberists album.
Chromeo, Aesop Rock, HEALTH, The Midnight, clipping.
Upvote for Aesop Rock 🤘
Aes, The Midnight, and Chromeo.
Righteous.
The Midnight, Starcadian, Daft Punk. Mostly synthwave and electronic.
hello hi did you post this from my spotify playlist
Starcadian is fuckin bangin
Yes! Dude does nothing but bops
Have you ever heard of Color Theory?
I have not!
Lol I could go on and on in the hip hop category
Run the Jewels
I got a unicorn horn for a
Stop
hell yeah...saw them open for RATM in 2022...was surprised how clean they are live
That’s been where I’m at lately. I’ve been deep diving tons of hip hop
Vampire Weekend… MGMT….The Shins
Oh, Inverted World could have been the next White Album. The Shins are soooo good. Caring Is Creepy, New Slang, and Girl on the Wing are so freaking good.
I absolutely love New Slang!
Chutes Too Narrow supremacy
My favs are Phantom Limb, Simple Song, and A Comet Appears, but let’s face it… picking a favorite Shins song is a real Sophie’s choice
Caring is creepy mentioned‼️‼️‼️
Coheed’s my #1, and the Shins are my #2!
Hmmm, there must be some sort of Vampire Weekend/Coheed connection...
Motion City Soundtrack Fallout Boy (might get some hate for that one, but IDC) Foo Fighters Hawthorn Heights The Wonder Years Saves the Day
Edit: shit, forgot about Death Cab for Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, and Brand New. 🤦 Stick them up there above Foo Fighters.
2nd edit: maybe those bands aren't as different than Coheed as I would like to admit...
If you like Death Cab check out The Postal Service if you haven't already
Oh yeah, it's funny how two of my favorite bands have side projects that are basically the original band plus synths.
Brand New was absolutely going to be on mine but I talked myself out of it thinking Your Favorite Weapon might be too close in sound to some earlier C&C songs
I love Fall Out Boy and always will, man, no shame in the love we have for the music that touches us.
At least four mentions of Aesop Rock in this thread so far. Yall are awesome.
Delightful to see such a crossover
I noticed that too haha I love Aesop and I didn’t realize he had such a big following, biased sample size notwithstanding.
Opeth, Type O Negative, Soundgarden, Blind Melon, Alice in Chains, Korn, All Time Low, A Day to Remember, Alter Bridge, Huey Lewis & The News, Led Zeppelin, The Band, Metallica, Anthrax, Black Sabbath
Type O, ha. Brings me back to my Hed (P.E.) days. Love that Alter Bridge is a much better Creed, and Show Me A Hero is a great song.
I was about to say
"Wow. No one is even close to my tastes"
Then this guy showed up 🤘
I love Tyler Childers
Everyone should
Not a band, but Lindsey Stirling is my other favorite artist to listen to.
Let me give you the most random list
Cattle Decapitation, devin townsend, aesop rock, sage Francis, wu tang clan, Oingo boingo, shining (Sweden and Norway), Lady gaga, dua lipa, sum 41, alkaline trio, Johnny cash, sun ra, year of the knife, twitching tongues,tongue, turbonegro, scooter, Salvatore gannaci, aaaaaaand prince
Oh and Clutch
I saw Coheed with alkaline trio 2 years ago. Doesn’t count! 🫠
Well....consider me fucking jealous. How did I miss that?
That's the tour that was supposed to be with Dance Gavin Dance.
Ahhh. Man, what a bummer.
Upvote for sage Francis
You can’t make it to heaven with a high step
Wow, I'd love to grab a beer with you. I think it'd be a fascinating conversation.
Hahaha well I'd like to think I'm someone who when they says they listen to a bit if everything I fuckin mean it.
Been on a beatdown hardcore and DSBM kicker recently though. But damn I love the new Dua Lipa record. I can't resist simple dancey stuff
Ninja Sex Party, Ghost, David Bowie, Alestorm, The Spill Canvas, System of a Down
Aesop Rock, Hanabie, Sleep Token
The National, Laura Stevenson, Leonard Cohen, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Black Country New Road, Los Halos, Swans/The Angels of Light, Alvvays, and many more.
My favorite band, in contention with Coheed, is the Mountain Goats
Wham! Haha
Coheed sits at the top, but following I have Killswitch Engage, All that Remains, and As I lay Dying.
I like old All That Remains. I guess I like all of it, but I really do not prefer Madness and the one before it. But The Fall of Ideals is fantastic. If you like As I Lay Dying, do you like Austrian Death Machine?
Of course! I grew up on Arnold’s movies ado ADM was right up my ally. And yeah, that last two ATR albums have been less than… ideal. But the new single is a breath of fresh air.
Ha, I see what you did there, intentional or not. But I believe it was intentional. Soooo many good songs but I’m stuck between Become the Catalyst and Six for my favorite on the album.
Babymetal, Streetlight Manifesto, Hot Mulligan, The Front Bottoms, Brand New, Rammstein, Aesop Rock, Band-Maid, Atarashii Gakko, Yoasobi & Asian Kung-Fu Generation
I really want a new Streetlight album.
The Front Bottoms and Rammstein are firmly within my likes as well.
Weezer. John prine. Kruger brothers
Hmm, not that many! The Clash maybe?
Was just listening to taking back Sunday and bayside this weekend. Always brings me back to university days
Have you checked out the new Bayside record? Yes, two thirds of it is the last two EPs, controversial move, but either way it’s solid if you haven’t checked it out yet.
I have not. I will check it out the next time I put them on. I love their first 2 albums, but their second has back to back hits for me
Their last record Interrobang is solid too. I think they are one of those bands that keeps getting better as time goes on. I saw them live on their current tour last month and they still have it going on live too. TBS, I saw them at a pop up show at a tiny club last year for their new record and I love them but… well let’s just not talk about that.
Shit, I only discovered them about five years ago, and they only had the one album. I definitely need to look this up!
Lol, same. You around 40? 🤣
Too close for comfort haha!
Lol, and just noticed your fantastic username, too. We might have a lot of overlapping interests!
Ah, Eidola at #1. A person of taste, I see.
