Are your favourite bands defunct?/alternative recommendation thread
Hairy Joe Bob:
Well in the last year two of my favourite ever bands have kinda in a way reformed. I'm quite excited and so have listened to nothing but them for a few months (The Wild Swans & My Bloody Valentine). I do love my early 80s Liverpool scene indie - lots of bombast, portentous lyrics and sweeping synths. MBV just...changed my outlook on music and life, they're that good.

--- Quote from: DynamiteKid on 13 Aug 2008, 14:30 ---I think it's fair to say I'm never going to listen to it. The constant droning praise, it's like they're this forum's Beatles. And I can never quite get past the name 'Neutral Milk Hotel.' It's like, 'what's three random words that might fit together? Hmm, something that suggests we don't have a stance on anything... some sort of dairy product... and a place you can stay the night... Unbiased Cheese Travelodge?'

The name makes it uncomfortable to bring up with the uninitiated, for sure. But just give the In the Aeroplane Over the Sea a listen, just in case you find yourself liking them. Just make sure to not think about any of the praise, getting your expectations super high before listening to a band can cause you to hate them prematurely.

look out! Ninjas!:
All of my favourite artists exclusively played at open mic nights before either committing suicide, OD'ing on heroin or selling out to the man. Needless to say, they were heaps better than all your bands.
