current bands you NEED to be listening to

--- Quote from: My Aim Is True ---The World/Inferno Friendship Society- Fuck. I can barely describe them. Songs that tell beautiful/sad/bizarre/drunken stories, opera quality vocals, swinging horn section, mandolin, accordion, and more literary references than you can shake a stick at, yet somehow, still feels like punk rock. I have still not described them very well. Shares members with The Hold Steady.

Those guys did a song with Leftover Crack on LOC's latest LP. "Soon We'll Be Dead," awesome song.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Skyclad - Seriously the best band in the world ever. No contest. Gone downhill a tad under their new singer, but still good. Get the old singers stuff (everything between 'Wayward Sons of Mother Earth' and 'Folkemon') though. What should you expect? The attitude of Oi!, the rockingness of classic British metal (they progress backwards through their career from Sabbat, to Iron Maiden, to Thin Lizzy, roughly), the pizzazz of British folk music, the lyrical skills of a good modernist poet, and paganism, radical environmentalism, anti-capitalism, puns and whimsy to taste.
Songs: so hard to choose... I'd say 'Penny Dreadful', 'Vintage Whine', 'Polkageist!', 'Our Dying Island', 'Womb of the Worm' for a good cross-section. Their discography is HUGE though.
Ayreon - Prog lives, and it's name is Arjen Lucassen. Great music with an intricate storytelling approach with up to about 15 distinct characters singing on each album. 'The Human Equation' is probably the best introduction to his work, but it's really best to begin at the beginning.
Songs: 'Day Sixteen: Loser', 'Carried By The Wind', 'Out of the White Hole'.

Both those bands deserve to be listened to. Skyclad is excellent and the new Ayreon entitled "The Human Equation" is brilliant.

You should definitely check out Star One and Ewigkeit if you're into those two.

I'm pretty keen on Animal Collective
They have this neat wall of sound thing goin' on. I'm not clever enough to write up my own description of them.
My Aim Is True:
Also, I totally forgot...
Lyrics Born- I don't care if you don't like hip hop, you WILL like this. No gangsta shit, clever word play, jazz inflected vocals, funk-rock beats. Seriously, one of the very few artists I have a hard time seeing anyone dislike.
