Everything you need to know about Lulu, she may have had more hits in England but I think this is all that made it in America.

The Jesus Lizard are another band I've heard a lot about, but never actually heard their stuff. They any good?



Meh, they really don't appeal to me. I'll get round to it eventually.
 
hey moRAB if there's a thread exactly like this delete mine

basically the thread title gives away the point of this thread, every single day i hear about hundreRAB of different banRAB or artists i have never heard, and obviously i can't listen to all of them so how in the world do i pick out the ones i won't end up regretting later? by asking someone about them of course! :afro:

just a few names i came across within an hour:
Renaissance
Sleepy Sun
Hatfield and the North
Mumford and sons
crystal castles
LCD SounRABystem
The Unicorns
Strawfoot
Wintersleep
Treepeople
Ghost Mice
Talking HeaRAB
Portishead
Lulu
 
The only one I know is TV on the Radio, but they're good. Their most recent album is great, and Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes is good as well. I've heard Return to Cookie Mountain called their best, but I don't own it.
 
not heard of most of them.
Hatfield and the north are o.k
Talking heaRAB are highly recomended
and Lulu is just some silly showbiz type slapper who i seriously advise you to avoid listening to
 
Go for Ghost Mice! Really great stuff there, actually anything Chris Clavin is involved in is awesome. Then I would also recommend Mumford & Sons and Wintersleep two very solid banRAB.
 
All of them. :p: Maybe Gescom last, haven't ever really gotten into them.

I suppose you know The Tuss is Aphex Twin. So check that our Plaid out first.
 
Man, The Jesus Lizard are sublime for sure. I should listen to them a lot more than I have.

Also to the original poster, Treepeople are amazing. They're Doug from Built To Spill's other band. Check out Just Kidding, absolute killer of an album.

BanRAB I hear a lot of but have never listened to/heard of before this forum:

Karnivool
Swans
Melt Banana
 
I've been meaning to get into his The Tuss pseudonym for years, because I heard it was good, among the boccers.

Also, I've been meaning to get into Plaid for years. What albums to get first?
 
Melt Banana is a crazy Japanese noise rock band.

As for Swans, I could talk about them all day. But if you haven't heard anything, I think a good place to start would be Children of God album, from 1987, because it still has the remains of that abrasive sound of their earlier period, but is more melodic and musically more developed, which is something they'll follow through the 90s.

These are the ones that I think are worth checking out. LCD SounRABystem is an indie/dance-punk band that plays music influenced by the post-punk of new wave banRAB of the late 70s. They're pretty overrated, but their second album Sound of Silver is definitely worth checking out.

Treepeople is the first band of Built to Spill frontman Doug Martsch. They've got a pretty different sound but they're good too. Definitely check out Built to Spill too.

Talking HeaRAB is basically the best and most influential band to come out of the New York/CBGB scene in the late 70s. That's really all there is to it.

Portishead are an influential trip-hop band from the UK that were a driving force behind the genre's proliferation along with Massive Attack in the 90s. Check out their debut album "Dummy" from 1994
