Seriously, My MP3 player has had the same 172 songs on it for the past 3 months.

I can listen to anything and everything as long as it Has more then 3 bars of music repeated.
(Also Hoping this is the right place for this, because it's Near 4am and I am no where near thinking straight..)

Arab Strap - They wrote love songs that actually sound like real life. Dirty and miserable.
The Ergs - Best pop-punk in years.
His Hero Is Gone - They sound like the end of the world.
Skepta - Greatest grime mc out there.

What I would do is a Google search of the name of any artist that catches your attention, so you might be able to figure out if it's worth your time. Don't leave those decisions up to us.

StreetSpirit · « **Reply #22 on:** 14 Feb 2008, 08:13 »

A Place to Bury Strangers - (self-titled) - it is a new, slightly post-punk slightly shoegazing album that is pretty agreeable

Maserati - Inventions For The New Season - kind of like Pink Floyd meets Mogwai (kind of)

Ghost - In Stormy Nights - very interesting mixture of post-rock-ish techniques to produce an enjoyable listen

----

And if you are feeling a touch nerdy or sentimental:

Murray Gold - Doctor Who OST - it has a pleasant array of beautiful songs AND it has a touch of nostalgia - haha

Go listen to Agalloch, Envy, El Ten Eleven, and Yndi Halda.

They're all post-rock bands, but approach the genre in completely different ways.

GO FORTH AND LISTEN!

KharBevNor · « **Reply #30 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 14:20 »

Man, Agalloch are not a post-rock band. That is just untrue information.

sean · « **Reply #31 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 14:23 »

They're pretty fucking close. I mean, there's a fuckload of folk and black metal in their sound, but there's post-rock in there too.

CLOSE ENOUGH OKAY!

Envy isn't post-rock either. Not close enough.

Take it back.

sean · « **Reply #34 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 14:40 »

Never

Go listen to Insomniac Doze right now. That album is fucking hardcore based post-rock.

Agalloch was a legitimate complaint. They are more black metal/folk than post-rock. This, however, is just nonsense.

Spluff · « **Reply #35 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 18:25 »

Post-rock is a pretty retarded genre anyway. There's not much point arguing whether bands fit into a genre that has pretty much no definition anyway.

The only genre that makes less sense is post-metal.

tomcat. · « **Reply #36 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 06:40 »

so do it

pinkpiche · « **Reply #37 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 08:58 »

Envy is just badass. No matter the genre.

Go listen to A Dead Sinking Story. It's far superior to their newer stuff. Unless you're going for a more polished sound.

iamlost · « **Reply #38 on:** 24 Feb 2008, 08:40 »

Stars of the Lid - The Refinement of Their Decline
Field - From Here We Go Sublime
two utterly cracking ambient albums which i can't draw myself away from listening to.

JimmyJazz · « **Reply #39 on:** 24 Feb 2008, 09:03 »

The World/Infero Friendship Society - A ska/gypsy punk band. Insanely fun and clever band, they have such high energy and every album is unique. I reccomend their newest album Addicted to Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century first.

Ween - Probably the funniest band in the world. They're incredible musicians that cover a lot of styles. Their earlier stuff is more silly and druggy whilst their later material is poppier and more "mature," so I guess that it would be better for newcomers to try one of their newer albums. Get White Pepper to start with, but if you're looking for something better and more "challening" to listen to, then get The Pod. It's one of the weirdest and best albums I've ever heard.

Tim Buckley - Forget his son; THIS man is where it's at. He has a fantastic voice, and has put out fantastic pop and avant-garde records. Listen to Happy Sad before you delve deeper into his discography.

Joy Division - Who doesn't listen to Joy Division? My parents, but that's besides the point. A simply fantastic post-punk group, who created a dark, atmospheric sound I have yet to hear replicated by any other group. Just download their entire discography; it's all brilliant.

Okkervil River - A alt-country/folk rock group from Texas who keep my faith in the genre alive. Will Sheff is one of the best songwriter's alive today I think, and the music beautifully accompanies his desperate lyrics. Down the River of Golden Dreams is the best place to start with this wonderful band.

I'm going to take this opportunity to recommend the American Music Club. They went on hiatus for the longest time, but they're active again now. Infact, they're due another album out this year!
Mark Eitzel is a truly fantastic songwriter and many of his songs have genuine moved me to tears. AMC made some truly beautiful music, but also put out a few that, while not awful, were somewhat difficult. So, I'm going to suggest starting at the most accessible album, and my personal favourite, "Love Songs For Patriots". Dark, depressing, but triumphant sounding. You used to be able to download the album in it's entirety from their American Music Club website, but it recently had a re-design and I'm not sure. Once you have a taste, try listening to the much more challenging albums "California" and "Everclear". So many people who try to listen to this band start in the wrong place and decide they're unlistenable, which is a real shame.

jimbunny · « **Reply #44 on:** 25 Feb 2008, 19:56 »

Everclear really isn't a difficult album to listen to. There's just a lack of hooks. And it is a great album.

You can also download it for free here.

lmcclurk · « **Reply #45 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 00:32 »

Well since you say anything is game I will recommend Jonathan Coulton. And if you download McVaffe - GiftfromMoscow and play it on some good speakers you'll get smiles from everyone around you.

I have never gotten the whole post-genre thing anyway. I mean, what, do you mail tapes or what is this about

This might be the single funniest thing I've ever read on these forums.

Anyways as far as random recommendations go:

The Dismemberment Plan--->start with "Emergency & I"
The Thermals--->start with "More Parts Per Million"
Silkworm--->Start with "Firewater"
The Mountain Goats--->Start with "All Hail West Texas"

...and that's that. Four of my favorite and most listened to bands.
