"The 'I Want You To Listen To This' Topic"

The topic title says it all my friends.

Just post whatever you currently love - musical. With a short discription of course and others can go and download/buy etc if they like the sound of it. If you heard and liked - let the sharer know :-)

I'll do five of the current songs which rock my speakers:


Far - Loud Mom
This is an early Far song, I enjoy their early stuff alot now. Churning guitars mixed with soft singed melodys and harsh screams, this song has meaning. Although the verses may be full of greatness the added 'three quarter cool part' Far always seem to put in is one of the best I have heard by them, maybe even the best. The section starting off nice and soft dreamy lyrics to hard anger. I like it, you should too - it's gotta be heard.


Jimmy Eat World - Just Watch The Fireworks
Damn I knew these guys were emo but then I heard this - SUPER EMO. Most of you probably have only heard JEW's latest album 'Bleed American' and haven't sampled the delights of beautiful 'Clarity'. What is wrong with you? If I ever want to cry it will be to this song, this song is beauty at its best. Hear this and see a diffrent view of Jimmy Eat World. All you Nu-Metal hoodie wearing maniacs this is the perfect song to commit suicide to.


Texas Is The Reason - Nickel Wound
All you Nickelback monkeys, this is the real Nickel thing. TITR are the masters at going - 'chugga chugga chugga' with their guitars. I got a live version of this song and thought - this isn't live is it?!? Shame I never got to seem them... If you like this try 'Johnny On The Spot' for more 'chugga chugga chugga' stuff.


Snapcase - Bleeding Orange
Sometimes I just wanna jump about and rip things up, I like to do it to Snapcase. I have my sensitive side then i have my mental side - this is mental side stuff. For all you Satan lovers out there, Snapcase do hard music without the Satan loving and have positive lyrics (if you can understand them). If you want to rip more up download some more Snapcase, its fun. 'Typercast Modulator' (<--SIBS you'll like that) and 'Zombie Prescription' would be a great start :-)


New End Original - Titanic
Singer of Far with the superb voice and guitarist and bassist of Texas Is The Reason with a superb guitar. Upbeat, meaningful song full of heart and beauty. Has to be heard, this song is sexy. Ohhhhh theres also a classic 'chugga chugga' thing...neat!

Counting Crows - Round Here, 12 minute live version in Paris.
My favouritest song ever, it's simply beautiful and if you listen to the lyrcis, you'll see just how amazingly good Duritz can write. It also holds my faovurite lyric ever, "Would you catch me if I was falling? Would you kiss me if I was leaving? Would you hold me if I was lonely?"

Weezer - Simple Pages
My fav song by them. Catchy and upbeat, worth a listen, definitely.

Counting Crows - I Wish I Was A Girl.
It rocks, simple as that.

Counting Crows - Perfect Blue Buildings.
Just listen to it :-D

Radiohead - No Surprises
Brilliant. from Thom "Whiny" Yorke and Co, but it's still amazing.

Manic Street Preachers - Enola/Alone
I've become attached to this recently, and I can't explain why.

Manics - Let Robeson Sing
Beautiful riff, and really well sung.

Sibs, Quicksand are great I love 'Too Official' by them :-)

Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun or Welcome to Sky Valley

Pure heads down sabbath-esque drug fuelled psychadellic monolithic dirty experience.

Please, you'll like them.

Tool - Lateralus
Best album from the boys the defy catagorisation. Used to be "metal", then ingested massive amounts of Lovecraft, Jung, H R Geiger and Bob Frissell and now are beyond description really. Melodic, experimental (songs using tablas and throat singing), heavy, dark, tortous, uplifting, intelligent.

Slayer - Decade of Aggression
Live album from the Kings of Metal.
10+ years old and still chewing up and spitting out riffs most bands today would kill for.
Download "Dead Skin Mask" "Angel of Death" "Mandatory Suicide" "War Ensemble" for a taster of true rock.

Dr John "Gumbo"
New Orleans funk/voodoo blues from one of the greatest musicians to emerge from the bayou. Toe tappingly good and this album has The Meters as his backing band. The Meters invented funk.
If you have an ounce of pimpin' swing in yo step, go listen to Gumbo

Ah, just checked something out for you. Play sells Clairty at £12.49, because they import from USA anyway. Here's the link:

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=search&adudisc=y

Believe me, it's a good album.

Bleed American doesn't compare to Clarity.

It is as Green Album is to Pinkerton i.e. Not emo.

Clarity, as the monkey thing said, is pure emo and quality. Bleed American gets cheesy at points.

I want to get 'Clarity' but so far haven't, it's £20 in HMV (cos it's an import... funny how they're a huge multinational company, yet imports still cost them so much eh...?)

Anyway, I'll hopefully get it sometime from the net...I've heard Clarity is even better than Bleed American... Also heard good things from most of those other bands, but not actually heard any material...

Rival Schools are good, got their CD last weekend, and I'll be looking for some Quicksand and Gorilla Biscuit songs (same frontman, but GB was Straight Edge Hardcore I think, and Quicksand was Post- Hardcore I think...)

Anyway, keep the reccomendations coming.

Thanks for sharing Sibs.

I will be downloading some of that in about half hour. I love the build up and release style and I'm currently getting to love the young punk/hardcore sound. Most bands that have split from the 90's were greater then any today, I wish I wasn't to young not to know it then :-(

hmm... If you like the Build up/ release style, (as I think Monkey With Attitude did, judging by what he said from those lyrics I put in the 'Your Words' topic) Then you should definitely check out 'Liberation Frequency' and 'New Noise' by the band Refused. Although they have split, their final album, 'The Shape of Punk to Come' was a true piece of art, and will live on forever.

Check them out.

Yes I kinda get the same reaction to their stuff, I am not a very big fan though. Theres a cool bass bit in 'Needles' though.
