Thanks.

Spot the in-joke! -JC

You didn't have to make a new thread for this. But as far as I'm concerned, given your situation and my knowledge of the list,

1) Spoon
2) Pavement
2) The Pixies
2) White Stripes
3) Okkervil River
4) Arcade Fire
4) Decemberists
5) Of Montreal
6) Band of Horses
6) Les Savy Fav
7) Sigur Ros
7) My Bloody Valentine

I would suggest taking these in (roughly) this order.

[Ocarina654]

I'd probably throw Beruit in there, and put Sigur Ros higher, but imagist's list is a pretty good springboard.

[Christophe]

31 and 33 are the same. The Dismemberment Plan = TDP.

[KharBevNor]

1) Judas Priest - Painkiller
2) All that godawful bleating indie crap you mentioned.

[imagist42]

Like I said, my list was pretty much based off my knowledge of a) the bands/albums he listens to (from the other thread) and b) the bands he wants to get into. It seemed like an appropriate progression for the man from where he is to where he ought to be (well, except for Spoon, I just like Spoon so I put it first).

I really don't know Mountain Goats well enough to place them on an ordered list.

[dalconnsuch]

i'd take white stripes off all together, if you want rep rock look for the smurmurs

if you want blues? get real blues

white stripes have combined two great genres but didn't do either of them great

[Thrillho]

Steps?? What is this, Indie Scenesters Anonymous?

I accept with God's help that major labels are evel.
I accept that only independent labels are Godly, and from this point on I shall only ever listen to music from indie labels.

[RobbieOC]

Amen.

[Patrick]

Hey Fat Wreck has some amazing bands.

i'd take white stripes off all together

Ignore this

ignore kim, he has a tendency to think all he says is always correct
when i said "i'd" it ment it was my own personal opinion okay?

grow a pair will ya?

[valley_parade]

Hey Fat Wreck has the Lawrence Arms

And that's all you need to know.

[Patrick]

@dalconnsuch: THE IRONY

Broken Social Scene should at least be in the top 5 and I do not see any Wilco anywhere.

Hey Fat Wreck has the Lawrence Arms, Mad Caddies, Lagwagon, No Use For A Name, fucking NoFX, and all the -Flag bands

And that's all you need to know.

[a pack of wolves]

Hey Fat Wreck has Propagandhi.

And that's all you need to know.

[Patrick]

Hey Fat Wreck had WIZO

And that's all you need to know.

[valley_parade]

GUYS YOU'RE FORGETTING THE SAINTE CATHERINES.

[SeanBateman]

yeah man there are a lot of steps to take.
But yeah just listen to the mountain goats.

[imagist42]

Broken Social Scene should at least be in the top 5 and I do not see any Wilco anywhere.

You really do not get the premise of this thread, do you.

BSS was not in the list the OP compiled, and he already listens to Wilco according to his other thread.

[Kyros]

31 and 33 are the same. The Dismemberment Plan = TDP.

This is for emphasis, to make sure he listens to them ASAP.

[suitupletsgo]

definitely. the D Plan is one of my favourite bands. just so much energy, and so much fun. Emergency and I is generally the album to listen to first. Is Terrified is my personal favourite.

[a pack of wolves]

GUYS YOU'RE FORGETTING THE SAINTE CATHERINES.

Worse, we're overlooking Guns 'n' Wankers, Dillinger Four and 88 Fingers Louie. Oops.

[Broken_Drum]

1) Judas Priest - Painkiller
2) All that godawful bleating indie crap you mentioned.

Yeah... Please, don't do that.

[valley_parade]

and he already listens to Wilco according to his other thread.

I think the point Patrick was trying to make is that he should listen to more Wilco.

[Patrick]

Shane is correct in guessing my motives, and I am well aware that BSS wasn't on the original list. Why the hell do you think I suggested them?

[a pack of wolves]

That was more sage advice than offense.

[Thrillho]

Shane is correct in guessing my motives

Somewhat ironic considering you've been listening to them for about three days...

[Spluff]

Yeah... Please, don't do that.

You're right, it needs fixing.

1) Judas Priest - Painkiller
2) All that godawful bleating indie crap you mentioned. More Judas Priest.

[Patrick]

Music =/= women. If you fall in love with a band after 3 days, you're not retarded.

[praber31]

Thanks for the help everybody! I am still wading through the list but I am enjoying most of it so far.
