That would be why I said QUITE a unique sound. Derp.

the alarm best live band ever

The Mike Theodore Orchestra - High On Mad Mountain

REM and My Chemical Romance

The Decemberists and Elbow. Lucky enough to see them both in this year.

Quite liking Tinie Tempahs Disc-overy album atm. Really getting into all of his music. Well worth a listen, also check out a song of his before he went mainstream. Type in Tinie tempah - girls into a well known video site's search box.

Try Hawk eyes, a british Cancer bats.

I like The Killers. I appreciate it's not cool to like a band unless they are obscure and no-one has every heard of them ("OMG - you have got to hear The Pencil Sharpeners - they are A-MAZ-ING"icon_wink.gif but I like their music.

I'm a big fan of the mingefaced wombats of death.

Completely agree Redux

The other thing that gets on my nipple-ends is, these obscure bands, who when they're interviewed are asked
"so, who are your influences"
"oh, you know, the usual, Iggy and the Stooges, blah blah blah" (it's the same, every interview I bl00dy hear)

If they're all influenced by Iggy, surely he'd have sold a few more records (they were never exactly prolific in the album/single charts, were they......and before anyone jumps up and down, I've got nothing against Iggy, it's just the trendy name dropping I hate)

Any type of rock for me, from Foo Fighters at the commercial end through to Slipknot at the dirtier end. Always like finding new music. Watched Muse on the box the other night playing Rock AM Ring in 2010 and Matt Bellamy is unbelievably awesome as well.

Anyone going to see Wolfmother in Liverpool next week?

best at the moment i think are the naked and famous. not often you get a decent sound coming out of nz....saw them when i was in new york last month and they we sound.

ever, i would have to say the stone roses, but i have a huge soft spot for bon jovi......the first songs/album that really got me into music were on slippery when wet

Two Door Cinema Club

what about FudgeTissue
Photoframers
and
My Upset Life

They have nothing on -

The Pony Burners
Male Bride

I don't know if they are real bands but

I like Male Bonding. Very good band.

I though the point of this thread was to discuss bands people liked and spread some suggestions? Surely it is great to name a few bands people haven't heard of.

jdrocket on self-outing shocker

they are a good band though

Ramones

Good shout.

MERZBOW

james. seen them a few times. most under rated band ever for me

Again another top shout. Type in 'Born of Frustration live' on that video sharing site.

Absolutley amazing!

Mclusky - To Hell With Good Intentions

MUSE.

liked them for a long time then saw them V 2008 at stafford.

loved them since. absolutely amazing band.

They are the only band i have seen live that sound better than they do on CD.

Also, Kasabian, Oasis, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and the Stone Roses get a ot of air play on my itunes lol
