rbw1966 Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Its that time again. I've got some pretty eclectic tastes but need something new. Lately I've been listening to: Django Old 97s Son Volt Black Eyed Peas One of the best compilations I have ever been given (thanks Off) Raveonnettes Rage Against the Machine (Just Another Bomb Track!) Suggestions? Quote
HappyCamper Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 - Visqueen - pretty poppy, guitar driven, female lead, a happier Hammerbox.... - Kings of Leon (despite being featured in the Jetta commercial) I got the new Bright Eyes....maybe I need to listen to it a few more times, but it seems overly hyped. Then again, I never got into Dylan either. Quote

Bill_Simpkins Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Believe it or not, Midnight Oils greatest hits is a good one to have around. Also, Weezer, Green Album, has treated me well the past few years. Other recent favorites (i.e. in my CD player now) Green Day, "American Idiot" Police, "greatest hits" Queensryche, "Rage for Order' Quote
selkirk Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Bone Daddies, Jem (surprisingly good!), a little Blues Traveller, Susan Tedeschi (Damn she's good!!) Kenny Wayne Sheppard.... Quote

Some of it. Lots of good songs. They are almost one hit wonders in the US, but have a good long-standing rep pretty much every where else. Many good albums. Overly-ignored here Quote
Dru Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I went to a Midnight Oil concert in Vancouver when they were touring for Capricornia and I was pretty much the youngest person there Quote
nonanon Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Grant Street by Sonny Landreth will blow your hair back. The Damnwell's - Bastards of the Beat came out last summer and it's really not very good but for some reason I can't stop listening to it! Seems like I've never not listened to "Trace." If I were to get more Son Volt which one would it be? Quote
rbw1966 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Posted April 5, 2005 I like Son Volt's "Wide Swing Tremolo" but "Straightaways" is really good too. Quote
chucK Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Have you listened to Uncle Tupelo " March 16-20, 1992" Farrar's best that I've heard. Quote
Squid Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Last week I went retro and picked up Mudhoney's 'Superfuzz Bigmuff' and Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Psycho Candy' Quote
Peter_Puget Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 The best jazz album ever recorded Dru - This is even better! Unit Structures Quote
benmurphy Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 six organs of admittance do make say think brightblack jack o'fire pelican out hud stars of the lid (having trouble sleeping....) miles davis "a tribute to jack johnson" ranks high on the jazz list... Quote
Dru Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 The best jazz album ever recorded Dru - This is even better! Unit Structures too noodly Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Midnight Oil's "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1" is their best, I think. Early 80's. Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Rob, you should check out the Gear Daddies. They're sorta in that Old 97s/Son Volt vein. Also the Paladins if you like rawkabilly. Quote
Winter Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Michael Franti and Spearhead for a little Hip Hop Ween for some dementia John Brown's Body for Reggae Drive By Trucker's for super edgy hard southern rock - definitely check them out. You can download tons of free shit from pretty cool acts at archive.org. Unlimited amount of new music to check out - all live shows - most with good to great sound quality. If you're into picking, check out Bluegrassbox.com - more free live music from Del McCoury, Doc Watson and lots of newer bluegrass acts. Quote
rbw1966 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 Chris--tried to send you a PM but it says your box is full. Quote
EWolfe Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I seem to be listening to these a lot (again) lately: Crystal Method - Vegas Eric Clapton - Blues Meat Puppets - Too High To Die Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs REM - Up Quote
Skeezix Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Sonny Sharrock is a wild ass guitar player! I've been listening to Reed Martin - Old Time Banjo Quote
Camilo Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I got an amazing box set of Uncle Dave Macon from my girlfriend. The coolest old-time picker around. Kelly Joe Phelps, if you like folksy blues. He's coming to Portland in a couple of weeks but I won't be here Quote
