FactsAreUseless posted:I love Devo's "Are We Not Men," where should I go next? They've released a ton of material, and I'm curious as to which albums are worth picking up. Same with Blondie post-Parallel Lines. I have their first three albums, although I don't think Plastic Letters is as good as the other two, and I've heard really mixed things about their later stuff. What's good? Just go chronologically. Listen to the Be Stiff EP, then Duty Now next, then Freedom of Choice, and then New Traditionalists. Most people stop there, but oh No Its Devo and Shout! aren't awful albums, just not as good as the previous three and a little too commercial and silly. If you're feeling really brave listen to the Hardcore Devo series, its their early work. It is very very out there and raw, but still listenable and fun.

Can anyone recommend me some more songs or bands in the style of Why Can The Bodies Fly by Pungent Stench? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCAQCTHadac It's a cover the Austrian Death Metal group Pungent Stench made, based on an Electro song by Warning (German band from the 1980s) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85p88SZFtJY . I don't like classic Death Metal too much but I like that combination. And it's also no typical Electro-Industrial I am looking for, because I don't like that static braindead 1-1-1-1 dancefloor beat Industrial normally has.

[I forgot to do this a while ago, but I wanted to thank the people who recommended me some stuff similar to Limp Wrist, I dug a lot of it.] So now I come to you guys with another request. I've been having a hard time finding a lot of electronic that I really like lately, so I'm sure some of you can help me out. I'm not really picky with what I like, so I'll just post a few links to give y'all an idea of what I'm looking for. Dabrye - Evelyn Prefuse 73 - Last Light Osborne - Downtown Or anything at all similar to Lone's stuff, too. Sorry if I'm being too vague, but I'm willing to check out anything that anyone wants to throw at me.

Something similar to Bill Callahan/Smog and Silver Jews, if you've listened to them i think you know why I'm grouping them. Or at least the next Silver Jews album to listen to after American Water, i've kinda flogged that one to death.

I'm interested in Bassnectar but I don't really know where to start. This is my first foray into electronic/DJ based music and from what I understand the discographies work a bit differently than say a traditional rock band. Bassnectar has a ton of LPs and a number of EPs but also lots of other stuff. Usually with a band I'd start with their earlier LPs and work my way from there. Does the same concept apply?

What are some bands/artists with rockin', really energetic, kind of dancey, kind of noisy tunes like: Royal Trux The Go! Team Sleigh Bells and Beck I guess it's mostly alt rock with some hip hop influence, but Fatboy Slim has a similar feel and I know that's big beat but it draws a lot from rock and hip hop. Mak0rz posted:I'm looking for a band that sounds like Black Sabbath's early work when they relied on droning, chugging metal tones but still had remnants of their Blues roots in there. Think from their self-titled up to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. As someone already mentioned, Blue Cheer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU5uDozoSSM Sir Lord Baltimore is similar to early Sabbath, Zeppelin and Deep Purple but they're American and looser sounding, a bit like the Stooges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yFGGXMFp0w Budgie is a lot like early Rush. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54H3EUAzpVg Then there's early doom bands like Witchfinder General (NWS album cover) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuweBceovrk Saint Vitus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S28P-Vbl2lU and less bluesy but still Sabbathy Trouble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0RXSkh2JI0 Pentagram http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZi4bm_LS6g Candlemass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjRd28TU9CE

This is a chunk of my chilling-out playlist. I would appreciate the opportunity to expand on it with similar stuff. Edit: I just looked at my list and noticed "rusted" on there. I don't remember adding that. I think my friend was messing with it the other day, because I just checked it, and that song sucks. what the gently caress. what the hell happened to this track list??  There's a bunch of weird poo poo on it I don't recognize. Please ignore Rusted and Tiga from the chunk I posted.Cinnamon Bastard fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Nov 20, 2011 |

Check out some Baltimore Consort albums. I just have their "Best of" album, but that might be all you need. Also they're a little obscure (their albums are hard to come by in the US, and they barely even have anything on YouTube) but if you can, look into the Finnish group Tarujen Saari. They do traditional European folk music of all sorts and have fantastic energy. I highly recommend their album Levoton Hauta.

Also, '70s progressive rock/folk group Gryphon used Renaissance instruments like crumhorns and did a lot of excellent covers of Renaissance-era folk music. I highly recommend their first two albums (and their third, but then we're no longer talking about traditional music).Farecoal posted:I can't stop laughing at this, found it by browsing related videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkrzKbC9S9s Ahaha.

My list for what I'm think of as "up-beat" would be Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, The Offspring, and selected tracks from Sum 41's discography... Not much to go on but yea, any help would be swell.

FactsAreUseless posted:You might like some of the ska bands popular in the 90s: Reel Big Fish, Rancid, Mighty Mighty Bosstones (I'm sure an actual ska fan can give better recommendations). You could also try Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, and the Pogues. You may also like Dookie by Green Day, and some Jane's Addiction. That sort of Offspring-style pop punk got pretty popular in the 90s, so you've got a few bands to choose from. Yea I have most of those and they aren't really what I'm going for (though I haven't heard of Gogol Bordello, and while it's not really what I'm looking for either, that video is pretty good). I'll check out Superchunk and Archers of Loaf.

Does anyone have any good, off the beaten path, compilation suggestions? I'd love some 3 disc samplers of the type of music most of us would not otherwise come across. For example, I have compilations named: - Anthology of American Folk Music - Children of Nuggets, Original Artyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era, 1976-1996 - Long Road to Freedom, An Anthology of Black Music - Nuggets, Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 - Tumbélé! Biguine, Afro and Latin Sounds From the French Caribbean, 1963-1974 Among others. Pitchfork has been a surprisingly good source for suggestions, but I've dried that well. Therefore, does anyone have compilation suggestions? 2 discs of Peruvian music I didn't even know existed? A CD of the earliest electronic music? Et cetera? Looking at this from a historical point of view, not just an enjoyment. Would like to try some music I've never heard or heard of.

Maybe not something you're gonna rock out to in the car, but (mostly) really interesting, especially if you have the liner notes.

Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs, 1913-1938 - as the title says 1970's Algerian Proto-Rai Underground - eerie mix of pop sensibilites and raw traditional music, totally rules The Afrosound of Colombia Vol. 1 - afrobeat infused Colombian cumbia and salsa Beretta 70: Roaring Themes From Thrilling Italian Policefilms 1971-80 - Morricone-funk Choubi Choubi! Folk and Pop Sounds from Iraq - arabic pop from the '60s and '70s (I think) Achilifunk: Gipsy Soul 1969-1979 - Spain had a wicked pop scene then, the stuff mixes rumba and flamenco with psych-pop pretty freely Well Hung: 20 Funk-Rock Eruptions From Beneath Communist Hungary - Volume 1 - Hungary and Czechoslovakia had pretty vibrant countercultures, I think Poland had a funk scene of some sort too but I can't think of any comps off the top of my head Shangaan Electro: New Wave Dance Music From South Africa - weird kitschy house/synthpop Ecstatic Music of the Jemaa El Fna - some kind of tribal music from the Sahara, I can't remember what country Bambara Mystic Soul: The Raw Sound of Burkina Faso 1974-1979 - Burkinabe afropop

I'd advise browsing the catalogs of numero group, bbe, and soul jazz to see if there is anything that interests you. For a specific recommendation I'm a tremendous fan of Kon and Amir, so I would recommend their Off Track series of compilations. If you want a compilation that has a lot of importance historically for dance music you might want to check out the various mastercuts and street sounds compilations http://www.discogs.com/label/Mastercuts http://www.discogs.com/label/Street+Sounds which help define the cannon for the 80s/90s generation of djs in the uk (although this influence shouldn't be overstated.)

This thread is now one of my favorite places on SA. I want to thank you all for the excellent recommendations from my earlier request. This time I'm looking for music along the lines of Strangers 1800, or "Cowboy Dan" by Modest Mouse, or "Shallow Grave" by Dog Fashion Disco -- sort of a modern take on the classic spaghetti western sound. Are there any bands that do this as their primary sound?
