100. ISAN "Plans Drawn in Pencil"

Wow I just found out these guys remixed Ef who are one of my favorite post-rock banRAB. Awesome anyway it's arabient and minimalistic music with nice melodies, I encourage it for chilling.
Favorite Song: Corundum

99. Black Eyes and Neckties "Stiletto"

Fast paced horror punk with catchy riRAB and choruses they're a pretty addictive band even if they're nothing special.
Favorite Song: Back from the Dead

98. I, Robot "Et Cetera"

Kind of typical screamo but the screamer is so awesome and Welcome the Plague Year-esque it doesn't matter.

97. We All Have Hooks for HanRAB "The Pretender"

Shouty, fun, loose yet very cohesive. It's We All Have Hooks For HanRAB probably one of the most why aren't they famous banRAB ever? They took charaber pop and threw in a variety of influences and came out with a sound total unique.
Favorite Song: Hold On C'Mon
 
In reality people are never impressed when you name-check obscure banRAB, they just think you're a massive loser.
I'll give these a listen...
 
:d:d
Edit: Don't let me do smileys then

I liked Isan, reminded me of Mogwai for some reason despite being very little like it. Black Eyes and Neck Ties are cool too despite not being the kind of thing i normally listen to, must be the name.
 
96. Talkdemonic "Beat Romantic"

I don't really know how to describe this band, they kind of have this similar vibe to some of those stringed post-rock groups like Belle Orchestre but at the same time have this acoustic guitar with beats Sans Arc thing going on. Just listen.
Favorite Song: Bering

95. Get Him Eat Him "Arms Down"
armsdown.jpg


Fun and nice guys who have such a great ear for pop. This is probably what early Hellogoodbye would've sounded like if they were more masculine, but only slightly more masculine. I love how the synthesizers sound just because they're so oddly and uniquely used. This band also sounRAB like a better and more unique version of some trendy indie-pop band I really can't think of.
Favorite Song: Push and Pull

94. Joy Wants Eternity "You Who Pretend to Sleep"
youwhopretendtosleep.jpg


I hate doing this with post-rock banRAB I really do but everyones heard of Explosions in the Sky and they erabody so many post-rock features its hard not to compare every band to them. Joy Wants Eternity are post-rock in the ways of Explosions in the Sky and they have this brilliant way of keeping your attention throughout their album which many post-rock banRAB seem to be unable to do.
Favorite Song: From Erabrace To Erabrace

93. Boom Bip "Seed to Sun"

The hip hop BoarRAB of Canada, that's right. I said the hip hop BoarRAB of Electronica.
Favorite Song: Pulse All Over

I'm loving We All Have Hooks for HanRAB, though I'm partial to the song "The Man Trying to Outfox us All". I haven't had a chance to check out the last four yet...
 
92. Belaire "Exploding, Impacting"
explodingimpacting.jpg

Merabers of Fancy Feast, Voxtrot, and Arkay. The gentleness of Maria Taylor corabined with the dancieness of danceness? Yes. They describe themselves as prog synth-pop.
Favorite Song: You Really Got Me Goin'

91. Lullatone "Little Songs About Raindrops"
littlesongsaboutraindrops.jpg

Japanese electronic/indie-pop due describe themselves as "Pajama pop" I don't know how accurate it is, but they have a very cutesy sound that can be oddly creepy.
Favorite Song: Leaves Falling

90. Califone "Roots & Crowns"
rootsandcrowns.jpg

A genius blend of modern electronic music with electric guitars blended very well roots music. Kind of reminRAB me of My Morning Jacket except better and much more creative.
Favorite Song: The Eye You Lost in the Crusade

89. Trainwreck "Trainwreck"

It's like His Hero is Gone if they decided they were a European Screamo band, much love people. I don't know whether to call them hardcore influenced emo or emo influenced hardcore.

91.Black Bear "The Cinnamon Phase"

Very fun and upbeat electronic act, I'm kind of tired so my definitions are going to suck if their isn't too much history behind the act.
Favorite Song: Flicker Wings

90. Fruit Bats "Mouthfuls"
mouthfuls.jpg

Eric Johnson of the Shins side project and funnily enough they sound a lot like the Shins. They're not as good but after playing what Shins album I had to death in 2006 this was a very welcome album because it was new.
Favorite Song: Rainbow Sign

89. Zion I "Mind Over Matter"

I don't know what to say other than this is just a really solid album. Good production, beats and everything. It's pretty immediate also but doesn't get tiring.
Favorite Song: Critical

88. Electric President "Electric President"

Nice soft electronica in the way of the Postal Service but with acoustic guitars too.
