His solo stuff is pretty good... but Million Dead was amazing! All of us Million Dead fans are just waiting for Frank to get sufficiently angry again so we can have more Million Dead albums.

Music I really enjoy that I am yet to see in this list includes:

Deerhoof
Oceansize

So much pitchfork-core listed in this thread. I think fat chicks and their admirers try to express their anti-mainstream body image ideals in all aspects of their identity. I would quote certain posts, but it's the hipsters(so many of them to single them out, but you know who you are!). Porcupine Tree is a band that few people even know exists? Your credibility to your fellow fantasy feeders has been decimated. You guys are plebeians, equally as pleb as the two guys that posted that linkin park is the best band of all time. Oh, the hipster irony.


What type of music are you into then?

Acts that got the odd mention but were not vaunted enough like enough

The Manic Street Preachers
The Smashing Pumpkins
Suede
The Smiths
Joy Division
Nick Drake

Acts not mentioned

Virtually no Hip-Hop! I don’t listen to much either, but I do like Public Enemy , DJ Shadow, Dead Prez & 2Pac.

For the most part I am an indie kid, so I’d love to add: Echo & The Bunnymen, Belle & Sebastian,Mystery Jets, Metronomy, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Editors, Heavenly & Patti Smith.

Most importantly though: Los Campesinos! If you are not listening to this band then start to. Here’s their take on lists:

And a song you might recognise from a commercial:

Shit Bands Mentioned

My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Blink-182, Good Charlotte, Creed, Bloodhound Gang, Lostprophets, The Strokes, Sum 41.

Needless to say, the early noughties were just hell for me.
I do like Los camposenos. However, the lyrics to "That Boy that Girl", by Hadouken do come to mind. Disagree strongly that "The Strokes" are in your Shit list, agree with the rest though. From 2002-2008, the music scene went through a great revival, it seems to have tappered off, bar some excellent albums by "Arctic Monkeys", "The Strokes" and "The Coral". Don't see many new bands getting my interest at present, do like "Egyptian Hip Hop" and "The Chapman Family", but you can't exactly call them new.

That song is about posers who lack self-awareness and irony. Los Camp! have those two qualities in abundance!
I do realise that, it was just a funny thought that popped into my head. If I thought they were posers, I wouldn't like them. I've been into alternative music since the late 70's, I can spot posers a mile off.
