Quote from: "Twiddler"You mentioned Coldplay, so I think I am required to suggest the band Elbow to you. I don't listen to Coldplay but I LOVE Elbow and a lot of people compare them to Coldplay. Seriously, once you get past the fact that their name is Elbow, its some pretty awesome stuff.
Have to agree on this point. They're pretty damn good.

Great video and Elbow is fun. Thanks!

I second Pandora.com. If you haven't checked this out yet, give it a try. Just 5 minutes and you'll be listening to your own customized radio station. :headbang:

I've been listening to a band called Longwave. They have two albums that I know of, and both are very good. They remind me of a modern day Pink Floyd, if you can compare anyone to them.

Seriously they are good.

I've been into Man Man lately and going back to listening to the Ramones, Flaming Lips and The Pixies. Of course that's along with everything else. Oh, and Lily Allen. I could eat her for dinner.

Quote from: "hismikeness"I would try Blue October. They are a rock band from Texas. Very good stuff. You may have heard the radio songs "Hate Me", "Into the Ocean" and perhaps lately "Dirt Room" or "Say It". Hate Me was by far their biggest radio hit. But by no means is it their best song. :hail: !

Can I get an AMEN??
Over 2 years now listening to them more than any of my other music and still haven't come close to getting tired o their songs.

Seriously. Check 'em out.

Blue October is excellent. But let's be honest... this is the greatest songwriter alive:

A few weeks ago I bought the CD "Touch Yello". It really blew my socks off. Touch Yello is a "recording" of the virtual concert of the Swiss electronica band Yello, best known for their singles "The Race" and "Oh, Yeah". The luxury edition of the CD contains a DVD of the virtual concert. That DVD is very worthwhile to watch, even if you don't like their kind of music, because the visual effects are simply stunning.

Conor Oberst. He's one of those musicians who just can't write a bad song and was a freakin' child prodigy in my opinion. His best songs are done with the band Bright Eyes and Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. His songs are pretty diverse and beautiful but he has a quivery singer voice that might not be everyone's cup of tea. Either way you'll like the deep and inspirational lyrics. Oberst's writing style has been compared to Bob Dylan, only, unlike Dylan, he writes some good religion bashing lyrics.
