Also I wanna do this little ranking here for my own posterity;
God-tier:
Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Alvvays, Pavement, the Beatles, the Smiths, Velvet Underground/Lou Reed, Nickelback, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Radiohead, The Clash, Pink Floyd, My Bloody Valentine, Kanye West
Elite:
The Replacements, New Order, Joy Division, The Stone Roses, Bruce Springsteen, Vampire Weekend, Guided by Voices, Oasis, Van Morrison, the Modern Lovers, Pixies
Other bands worth mention: the Strokes (I know they basically have one album but it’s an all time great pop record), Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel, Wilco
Bands/artists I need to listen to/listen to more of: Miles Davis, Tom Waits, The Cure, the Kinks, The Jam, Elvis Costello,
I'd pay good money to watch a Zeppelin elitist who hates everything tear these guys apart.
And I quite enjoyed it, but you know what I'm talking about.
You rang??
I can handle the sound "inspiration", hell Zep did the exact same thing (if not worse) with various blues tracks especially on the first album.
What I can't handle is the complete style "inspiration" or especially copying Robert Plant's stage mannerisms. Bridge way too far for me. Shows how desperate the music business is for mainstream rock bands < 30 y/o in 2018. They are talented though so maybe they will expand their sound as they mature and be worth following.
On a semi-related note, don't even get me started on Post Malone. Thought the world did Fred Durst already.
Time for my coffee.
Definitely give their first album a listen too.Another band that’s in my backlog.
These albums are considered to be The Cure's "Trilogy": Pornography (1982) / Disintegration (1989) / Bloodflowers (2000)Also I wanna do this little ranking here for my own posterity;

FYI, Pornography is very dark. IIRC they were doing a ton of drugs at the time. The album has a fantastic sound, but it is definitely not a pick-me-up.
Another trilogy to consider is Sonic Youth's EVOL (1986) / Sister (1987) / Daydream Nation (1988). Daydream I think is the best album of the 1980's.
Under the Bushes Under the Stars by Guided by Voices (1996) is one of my favorites, aside from the unapproachable Bee Thousand (1994).
I'll have to give it another listen.Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987) will forever be my favorite Cure album.
I'll have to give it another listen.
@Bozle Some other stuff I think you'd like alot
**** the 90's were great. Also, Boards of Canada > Radiohead; Can and Neu! you should find if you haven't already
- A Storm in Heaven by The Verve (1993)
- Mezcal Head by Swervedriver (1993)
- Microcastle by Deerhunter (2008)
- Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space by Spiritualized (1997) <-masterpiece
- Peng! by Stereolab (1992)
- Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain by Pavement (1994)
I was kind of shocked to find out that Crooked Rain was recorded in New York City. It's such a SoCal record.Microcastle and Crooked Rain are two of my favorites. Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter is also a fantastic album. My favorite Stereolab is Dots and Loops, but Peng is great, too.
Two albums that I've been obsessed with recently that are similar-ish (in the sense that they would be considered indie rock but are a bit "out there") would be Destroyer's Kaputt and Ariel Pink's Before Today. Both are more recent (2011 and 2010 respectively, I think), but both albums channel 70s and 80s music and take a lot of influence from that era.
Also, what's everybody listening to from 2018? I've been really digging the Nicolas Jaar/AAL album. Some albums coming out soon that I'm excited for:
DJ Koze (tomorrow, May 4th)
Beach House (May 11th)
Parquet Courts (May 18th)
Now I’m shocked, too.I was kind of shocked to find out that Crooked Rain was recorded in New York City. It's such a SoCal record.
@Bob Richards how are you gonna post flava in ya ear and it's not even the remix.
Related: Craig Mack is a bigger bust than Hugh Jessiman.
my favorite remixUnbelievable. I come here to make friends and share good times and yet I am being bamboozled for my abstinence against remixed versions of songs.
