I don't think there's really much wrong for seeking out totally different sounds or even wanting to musically explore the world, and the question is asked in a pretty "I'll take whatever you got" sorta way.

How would you suggest I narrow down what I'm looking for, and how can I not seem touristy about it?

I would like some music that a person could not possibly be unhappy while listening to.

Chinaski posted:

I don't know if this will make sense because I don't have any examples but I like songs that build and build and build on a riff you'd expect to suddenly break into something else but never does. They just keep building up to nothing.

Sort of like what Lightning Bolt does from time to time but I'm not necessarily looking for something aggressive. It can be any type of music.

Any thoughts?

I'm looking for some blues-rock with noodley guitar, or something like Dinosaur Jr.,Them Crooked Vultures or Bleach era Nirvana. Thanks in advance.

Can you guys recommend me some long psychedelic rock type jamming songs from the late 60s early 70s? I stumbled onto a couple songs while I was shuffling that I have like that and I'll list them so that you can get an idea of what I'm thinking about. Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix, Spoonful by Cream, Gadda Da Vidda by Iron Butterfly. Basically anything in that 15 minute range.

Haven't listened to many Skywave stuff (yet), so I'm terribly familiar with them.

Braincrash posted:

Right now I'm liking alot of Shoegaze/Ambient/Noise/Punk, kinda like No Age, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Deerhunter

I like shoegaze but I get a bit sick of the dream poppy variety, can anyone recommend something a bit more aggressive and noisy?

All I have gotten from this in the past year are the names of the individual members of stuff I already listen to.

Slide guitar.

Lots and lots of slide guitar. Preferably not "I'm Rory Gallagher and I'mma go fuckin' mental on this poo poo" sort of thing (as awesome as it may be), stuff which is pleasant to listen to.

Kevin Bacon posted:

Are there bands that cover Castlevania songs specifically? In any form.

I know there's a few songs that's been covered by different bands/artists already, but it'd be awesome to find an entire album.

The Schwa posted:

Where should I start with Cocteau Twins and Neneh Cherry? Got interested in both through Massive Attack tracks: I specifically like Teardrop and Hymn to the Big Wheel. Hope this is enough to go by, if I need to be more specific I will.

Heys knowledgeable music goons! I've been wondering what everyone here can recommend for driving music, and what everyone listens to when they're driving.

I'm really open to anything but I am looking for some bands or songs with more upbeat styles that's fun and fast, like the feeling of an open road you speed along.

Sorry if this is a little vague, but hey, you never know! Thanks in advance

Can you point me to something that sounds like Sleigh Bells? I don't really like Best Coast or Ariel Pink. Female vocals a plus!

Sad Mammal posted:

Can anyone recommend me more tracks/albums that feature lo-fi singers providing their own backing vocals? A few examples I like are: Tonstartssbandht, Grouper and Doseone (the tail-end of this sample).

Looking for some Japanese psych/noise rock

I like stuff like Les Rallizes Denudes, Ruins, Boredoms, High Rise, Incapacitants, Zeni Geva, Merzbow, Taj Mahal Travellers, and Acid Mothers Temple, if that helps.

funkybottoms posted:

you could try Super Furry Animals, Beta Band, or Stereolab- they all hit on a number of styles, but have stuff that sounds like what you linked. also maybe check out Silver Apples and Bruce Haack.

liquid courage posted:

I'd definitely second a Super Furry Animals recommendation. Try Guerilla, Radiator and Rings Around the World. Also, Dark Days, Light Years is worth a shot as well. As for Beta Band, the Three EPs compilation is pretty solid.

funkybottoms posted:

most of the earlier synth-based music i'm familiar with is more on the experimental composer side (OHM is a good comp if that's of interest)- the only other avenue i can think of is maybe Krautrock. or, if you want a laugh, peep some Stardrive, which is pretty amazing (and has the best jacket notes ever). as for the Beta Band, i felt that the links you posted had some of the same kitchen-sink-psychedelic feel found on the album Hot Shots II.

The Doo Do Chasers posted:

The album with Eno didn't have any synthesizers! Just an organ with effects.

slowdave posted:

Nice. I think it's a bit of a mixed bag though. I'm not entirely sure what they want to say with the album, do they want to make indie rock or krautrock worship or what, it kind of lacks focus. Still has some really good songs in it though

If you like it, you might want to check their first EP out too, it's called Inner Sunshine.

BouncyCastle posted:

So I recently got into the Tron Legacy Reconfigured remix album and a bit of Justice.

I'm looking for groups/stuff that sounds like:

Daft Punk - Derezzed (The Glitch Mob Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swcDeoZR0E8

Justice - Waters of Nazareth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqJu_3CPhC4

Justice - Genesis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThKNt-GY1ww&feature=related

Edgy, glitchy, distorted electro stuff I guess? I don't want stuff that sounds trancey/techno or could be played in a club.


Thanks in advance goons.

I'm kinda stuck in a rut as far as my music goes. The main thing I want from my music is passion. So many current Indie stuff seems kinda sterile to me (plus the usual male singing voice gets on my nerves EG Bon Iyer). My favorite bands are stuff like Gogol Bordello, Mumford and Sons, Gaslight Anthem , old Bruce Springsteen and The Who. Stuff thats big energetic passionate. I'm totally great with heavy stuff as long as theres lyrics and singing not growling. Sorry if I'm being too broad.

Hey I love Motion City Soundtrack. I love the geeky-ness of the lyrics and I love the melodies the synth puts out. Any other bands i should check out?

Alternatively, something with a really rough vocalist yet is kind of catchy, like Wolf Parade in this:

I'm looking for anything that might fall between Cocteau Twins and Mazzy Star - both in vocal and lyrical aspects.

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.
