Nonultrapopular music

[ChronoTrigger]

I reccommend the Gorillaz. Their new cd "Demon Days" is great.

Well if you're going for less popular stuff, now I don't know if you'd like it, but I'm a big fan of late 70s / early 80s post-punk, death-rock, goth, synth, Batcave, glam, etc. stuff. Some favorites are:

1919
45 Grave
Bauhaus
Sisters of Mercy
Christian Death
Alien Sex Fiend
Ausgang
Birthday Party, The
Joy Division
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Clan of Xymox
Closterkeller
Cocteau Twins
Virgin Prunes
Creatures, The
Southern Death Cult
Xmal Deutschland

Gloria Mundi
Gun Club

Mission UK, The
New Order
Public Image Ltd.
Rudimentary Peni

I'm not sure if you'd like any of it but I hope it's not too terrible; maybe it's also just a reason for me to post a list of what cool tunes I listen to.:sweat:

Re: Nonultrapopular music

Copeland, Pelican, The Fall of Troy, Martin Grech are all good recent acts, if you like a bit of alt rock.

The Number 12 Looks Like You (Yes that is the name of the band)
Where I live,(Jersey) almost every upcoming band is another emo band,(I do like emo, but it's cool to hear different stuff) and these guys have managed to grow popular although they're a metal band. The singing (Screaming?) might annoy you, but they ain't half bad at playing their guitars and shit. Check them out at www.purevolume.com

Re: Nonultrapopular music

Like rap, I really like rap, but I don't want to hear about the stereotypical rap stuff, like sex, cars, shoes, you know.

Yeah, "raps" gone that route, and I'm not happy about it either.

But check out Taleb Kwali, Black Star (Taleb Kwali & Mos Def), Common (Be is a great album.), and of course there's Gangstarr. Check those out, I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of them.

I'm a big fan of Linkin Park, and Maroon 5 has it's moments where it just fits the mood. But I listen to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Al Green. Can never go wrong there!

Re: Nonultrapopular music

Haven't checked this thread in a while and I come back to hear somebody say Led Zeppelin is overrated!! There is a difference between overrated and overplayed. I wish they'd stop using their songs in all the damn car commercials nowadays, it does take away from the "uniqueness" from their sound. Getting a song overplayed has a way of doing that to you, but make no mistake, Led Zepp is one of the best bands of all time...please give them the credit they deserve.

Re: Nonultrapopular music

Mars Volta? I tried, bought a live album of theirs. Thing that got me, was that there was virtually no lyrics. Nearly all instrumental. Is that how all their music is? They reminded me a lot of Zep, only with less talent (sorry but noone can compare to Zep).

Anyone ever heard Monte Montgomery?
