Bands you know you should have heard, but haven't

Everyone here whos hasn't heard Explosions In The Sky... should.
I highly reccommend the album How Strange, Innocence. It's majestic and cinematic and triumphant and beautiful and definitely worth the time.

Godspeed, however, I can't heartily reccommend. Listening to any one Godspeed song is a time investment (think 20 mins or so) and I don't know that you'd get much return on that 20 mins. I sometimes listen to them while drawing or reading, just cos it's good background music, but I don't know that I would actually listen to them for the sake of listening to them.

I'd reccommend Remains for anyone trying to get into Joy Division. It's a pretty good collection of their stuff.

For the Ramones, get Mania. It's likely the only Ramones album you'll ever need if you're not obsessed.

The Books are absolutely amazing. Check out The Lemon Of Pink.

Built To Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love

Cursive - The Ugly Organ

Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights. Also: "The Specialist" and "Song Seven" (B-Sides). Antics is alright, but Bright Lights is the best.

As for me, I'd like to hear some Fugazi. Mabye some MF Doom, and definitely Dirty Three. I've heard a bit of Dirty Three and really liked it.

My Aim Is True:
Fugazi used to be one of those bands I had never checked out properly. I only got into them about two years ago, and now they are one of my favorite bands, which sometimes REALLY FUCKING PISSES ME OFF, because I saw them live about 5 or 6 years ago, and totally did not appreciate it at all.

Skibas_clavicle:
There's a good lot of music that I still haven't checked out, and probabaly should, here are a few:

LCD Soundsystem
The Unicorns
Animal Collective
Television
Dinosaur Jr.
Cat Power
TV on the Radio
The Fiery Furnaces

I'm gonna go hide and cry now....everything else that people mentioned I'm pretty familiar with though.

Praeserpium Machinarum:
Not having heard Cat Power is in my opinion a sin, while with The Unicorns you aren't missing out on anything really, they are quirky and that's that..

Skibas_clavicle:
My friend invited me to the Unicorns show when they were here, but I felt like I shouldn't go if I hadn't heard at least one song! :S
