The Official Suggestion/Q&A about OTHER MUSIC Movement

[sixersdukejordan]

Inspired by the Clipse movement, it's time to show love to other genres. Tired of seeing Lil Wayne and Drake in every subject? Come here to get away fromit all.

To start it off, whats the Flaming Lips' best album? I'm only familiar with At War with the Mystics, but I wanna dig deeper.

Oh and to give some credit to the Clipse..

It is pretty futile.

However, I wouldn't mind being more up on some Trip-hop and Indie Rock.

The best Lips album is Yoshimi, but Transmissions is really good too.

We should try this....I really need to step my other genres up....

There's a Rock thread & an elctro thread & metal thread.

Be specific on what you mean "other music"

 

[sixersdukejordan]

I'm gonna bump this and by other music I mean anything. Open discussion. Questions about anything or come to get suggestions. For example, for peopletrying to check out rock, see: Jimi Hendrix- Are you experienced?, Radiohead- In Rainbows, Kings of Leon- Only by the Night, and Sublime (self-titled). If youdon't like any of those, you probably won't like any rock.

 

[the yes guy]

Do any other Radiohead fans not like In Rainbows? I mean, its ok, but I prefer every other CD (minus Pablo Honey).

 

[vanillagorilladx]

^ I quite enjoyed In Rainbows. The guys are in the studio for the next one already.

 

[sixersdukejordan]

Honestly, In Rainbows made me a true fan of Radiohead. I think it's really unfair to say it's "ok". Reckoner and House of Cards are some ofthe most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

 

[sixersdukejordan]

Alright so I have a question for you guys. I'm pretty familar with my mainstream music and I think I have good taste as far as mainstream music, butI'm not really familiar with indie/less famous bands. Can you recommend anything? I'm looking for bands along the lines of Kings of Leon and MGMT.

 

[vanillagorilladx]

For MGMT, try Passion Pit's "Manners" album
