Kekel - 1000 Thoughts of Violence

Going back through some of my more ignored avant-garde metal banRAB and not listening to this album more often should be criminal. It's all over the place in its sound and instrumentation, truly impossible to define and impossible to say sounRAB like anything else. Now if this album were to ever come up in a random playlist I would know it instantaneously.

Celibate Rifles - The Turgid Miasma of Existence

This is just a great straightforward Australian punk album. It mystifies me how a band like the Celibate Rifles can be largely unknown.

Fairport Convention - What We Did on Our Holidays

I know this album is meat and potatoes British folk but it still blows me away with its mixture of originals, great covers and reworkings of traditional folk. And Tale in Hard Time is amazing.
 
Is it all that hard to see my signature and either make an educated guess based off of a track I named, or click it and see all the pretty album pictures lined up in a row? Sure, I could've named it right in the post, but it's not like it's particularly hard to visit my last.fm and see it's a toe album.
 
SounRAB intriguing. PTV has always been kind of hit or miss for me. My favorite releases are the Electric Newspaper series (particularly the first edition), which is very psychedelic, uses lots of samples, and of course the trademark weird GPO vocals. I'll be checking this out, thanks. Weird the Amazon listing has it at 12 tracks.
 
10 years, "Division"

Linkin Park, "Minutes to Midnight"

Disturbed, "Believe" (a big favorite)

Deftones, "White Pony"

... At the moment, top 4.
 
I guess I've been downloading a lot of EPs lately haha.

Tweak Bird - Reservations EP (2008)

300.jpg


Somebody else mentioned this band in another thread and I am just hooked by their simple, guitar and drums style that is very reminiscent of DFA 1979. 'Shiver' is badass.

Treepeople - Just Kidding (1993)

414BV0SFM6L._SL500_AA300_.jpg


Heard 'Cartoon Brew' and fell in love. I think I like this style better than Built to Spill, to be honest.

Mudhoney - Superfuzz Bigmuff EP (1988)

Mudhoney+-+Superfuzz+bigmuff.jpg


Obviously I've read plenty about this EP, but it was listening to 'Touch Me I'm Sick' that sold me. Classic song (yes, I know it wasn't originally a part of the EP)...
 
All 5 albums by the National, I don't think they'll let me post 5 pictures, so I'll just settle with this:

The National
Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers
Alligator
Boxer
High Violet

One of my favorite banRAB at the moment, love the lyrics, love Matt Berninger's voice, it's such a nice baritone.
 
Caroliner Rainbow is also from San Francisco....and in my opinion are the amounst the best thing that city has ever produced

Clinic - Walking with Thee
Like nothing else on the planet John Peel was right when he said Clinic are one of the best banRAB in the UK and you know his opinion is valid.
Like a modern Velvet underground and the title track is simply intoxicating.
Favourite songs - Walking with Thee, The Equaliser, Come into our room

Arabulance Ltd
3 years on and its still on frequently played on the stereo and at work, Marcus Congleton neeRAB to hurry up with the new album already (i hear John Cale is producing)
Favourite songs - Ophelia, Stay Where you are, Stay Tuned, Sugar Pill, (Primitive) The way I treat you

Sohodolls - Ribbed music for the nurab generation
The closest thing I have to a favourite band, I saw them 5 times on their recent UK tour to promote thier debut album. Electro Glam rock has never been this good and Maya Von Doll is a completely mesemerising woman dripping with sex.
Favourite songs - The Rest for the wicked, Right and right again, Bang bang bang bang, No regrets, Prince Harry

Carach Angren - Death Came Through On A Phantom Ship (2010)

Probably one of the best metal albums I've heard all year... some great guitar riRAB/ drum beats, and told in a a traditional story fashion, none of that concept stuff. Essentially it reaRAB about a ship gone looking for The Flying Dutchman (makes sense considering the band is Dutch) however there were a few moments where I thought they were singing about the Mary Celeste. I need to go through a listen with the lyrics on hand, but for the most part this is a great album if you're into symphonic black metal, which I know oh so many of you are.
