Need recommendations of stuff to listen to

genres I like: shoegaze, indie pop/rock, folk, singer-songwriter, rap/hip-hop, britpop, new wave, post-punk, punk, alt rock

shoegaze: Ringo Deathstarr (song picks: Two girls, kaleidoscope, Nap time)
indie pop: Belle & Sebastian (song: the boy with the arab strap - catchiest song ever)
(If you already know of B & S: Camera Obscura - Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken)
Indie rock: The Soundtrack of our Lives (song: News of the World)
Singer-songwriter: Hayden (song: Dynamite Walls)
Punk (kind of...): Japanese band called Kana-Boon (song: 1, 2 step to you; A,oh!!)... it's not really punk though. Any kind of music like that here in Japan is pure mimicry of Western stuff and so not worth the time.

 

[Nickmo82]

Oh, and Indie pop: Stars (Elevator Love Letter)
Indie pop/rock: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (Until the sun explodes, Belong, Young Adult Friction, Strange)

Hah, love this band.

This could be a great year in music for me with new releases from LCD Soundsystem, Grizzly Bear, Brand New, M83, Crystal Castles, MIA, Sky Ferreira, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, Local Natives, The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Major Lazer, So So Glos, Arca, Chromatics, Peter Bjorn and John and hopefullllllllllllly Bon Iver.

 

[The Gloaming]

Hah, love this band.

Auf, does your name come from the German word meaning "to abolish" or the Brian Jonestown Massacre album of the same name?

Great band by the way. Also can't recommend King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard more. Their new album is great.

New Radiohead album too. New song released yesterday.

New Radiohead album too. New dog released yesterday.

Good song with a Witcher Man-esque music video. Interested to hear the whole album. I'm not as into Radiohead as my girlfriend is, but I'm sure I'll hear the entire thing at least twice

That latter.

As far as best band name goes, I don't think you can beat "Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin." Their music's pretty good too.

BJM is my favorite band.

Has anyone ever told you your girlfriend is cooler than you? The new Radiohead song and video are great, though. Really excited for that and LCD Soundsystem this year.

The two albums I'm listening to the most at the moment are the new albums from White Lung and Car Seat Headrest. The past few years most of my favorite releases were hip-hop or r&b, but 2016 is shaping up to be an amazing year for alternative music.

Honestly, I never really got into Radiohead either. At least not relative to their renown. Then again I'm also not cool so

White Lung is good. I think they're from Vancouver. I'll have to check out the new one!

Listening to PJ Harvey today.

Ok Computer and Kid A are amazing albums.

Jeez, buncha nerds in this thread

To be honest though, I haven't listened to much Radiohead in the past 10 years or so. But they were a big part of my introduction to real music, and their new song sounds like their old stuff, which is good because this:

Post-punk:
Wire - 154
Suicide - s/t
Magazine - Real Life
Killing Joke - s/t

Shoe-gaze/Brit-pop:
Lush - Gala
Medicine - The Buried Life
The Verve - A Storm In Heaven

If post-punk/punk/new wave is what you're looking for, Wire is the place to go. You know you have some good songs when My Bloody Valentine covers you:

Studies show metalheads are highly cultured

 

[The Gloaming]

Studies show metalheads are highly cultured

Apparently there's lot of overlap between people who listen to metal and people who listen to classical music. That's like, as cultured as you can get in music.

I do enjoy both, but Jungle Rot is pretty brutal haha.

My favorite type of music is metal, subgenre is thrash along the lines of Exodus, Testament and Sodom

If we are talking Metal I have to shamelessly plug Pantera any chance I get. I love Phil's vocals and Dimebag was GOAT.

Mouth For War still gets me ****ing hyped.
