i bought my first "white stripes" album today and im totally loving it (i actually didn't know any of their tunes untill today)...seems like i've been away from rock scene for far too long (i guess since 94 when nirvana ended). well i've been listening to some rock artists which i have always been into, here and there but i haven't been checking much for new ones and apperantly im missing a lot if there are other decent musicians alike white stripes. here are some of the rock bands that i like: -nirvana -at the drive in -mars volta -melvins -the doors -queens of the stone age -the strokes -walkabouts -tindersticks -nick cave&bad seeds -pj harvey -ben harper and some others which i can't think of right now. so now i'd love to see if you lovely people that are into rock could recommend me some other bands that are worth checking...it would be nice if they were unique at what they're playing, not too hard (except if it's very good heh) and not too sweet :) cheers! |

thanks...but it isn't quite same stuff is it :) i want something at least as good as white stripes :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i listen to interpol, black rebel motorcycle club, and longwave. that's about as rock as i get... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kyuss is members of queens of the stone age, but you might already know that listening to QOTSA. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
None of those are like the White Stripes or Jane's Addiction (although you might want to listen to Porno For Pyros - especially 'Pets' - if you haven't already and like JA) but you might like some of em judging by the bands you listed. For bands similar to the White Stripes or the Strokes just turn on MTV2 and you'll find 20 bands in the space of an hour |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Interpol, yes. Interpol equals great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

eurgh I hate the White Stripes! anywal I like Nick Cave and P J Harvey. I'd reccomend: THE CURE!! boredoms melt banana goldfrapp xinlisupreme velvet underground jesus and the mary chain Jane's Addiction Joy Division Depeche Mode Soixsie and the Banshees killing joke queen adreena |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i might heard of that yes, but i don't know qotsa all that well...i like their last? album and thats about it :) so kyuss - is this harder stuff to qotsa? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love rock / grunge, especially that of the early 90s era, I used to be a die hard nirvana fan - nirvana - pearl jam - smashing pumpkins - rage against the machine also, the doors, hendrix, etc etc! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, pets is great and porno for pyros are nice as well...unfortunately i dont have mtv nor mtv2 so im asking here :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kyuss is less pop orientated, more groove and spaced-out stylistically. Different singer, more "rock". They've been my favourite band for 10 years and have some wonderful songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

THE CURE!! -awesome boredoms - don't know them melt banana - don't know them goldfrapp - not my thing xinlisupreme - great stuff!!! velvet underground - nice jesus and the mary chain - very nice Jane's Addiction - wonderful Joy Division - ok Depeche Mode - very good Soixsie and the Banshees - very nice killing joke - don't know them queen adreena - don't know them huh, thanks a lot...i'll have plenty stuff to ckeck out now :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great, what album should i get? - is the last one good compared to their previos stuff? (i always start with newst albums with artists i don't know yet) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Modest Mouse - 95% of anything they do is fantastic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GOLDFRAPP IS FUCKING GREAT, YOU BASTARD. if you like the Strokes, then you'd like their english counterparts the Libertines. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet their albums are rare in this parts (but i'll look) im going to that shop to pick that other white stripes album later, and that shop is probably the best for rock music in town... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, yeah, goldfrapp is ok, but i get tired of listening to their (her) stuff pretty quick... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

With QOTSA I prefer their first album by miles... but it's the one that's most similar to Kyuss and the least commercial. You'd probably like the second album 'R', it's more like 'Songs For The Deaf'. With Kyuss, their last three albums are considered among the fanbase equally good. I'd say... 'Sky Valley' probably just has the edge, but it may be a little harsh for you. Try '...And The Circus Leaves Town'. It should be cheap too, if you're buying and not downloading. Of course, you may think it's complete crap, and you wouldn't be the first... |

if youve never heard killing joke, check out their "laugh? i nearly bought one!" compilation, and go from there. my personal fav of theirs is "extremeties..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which album should i start with for my bloody valentine? is their last one good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
personally, i like both "loveless" and "isnt anything" equally. id start with either of those. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The White Stripes make me get down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the stripes, but wasnt impressed with elephant. i like "de stijl" the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know which one i got...there were only two albums and both released on xl in 2001 so i just picked one as i didnt hear them before...im going back to that shop to pick that other one right after i finish work heh...and hopefully im goning to get some of stuff you guys recommended... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I'm no big fan of rock it has to be said, but I have an appreciation for it and can enjoy the odd song. White Stripes are highly accessible and as such, I like a few of their tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im no into rock, and i absolutly loathe the white fuckin stripes god.. commercial rock blows!!!! im more into death metal and grind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the list is endless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which one comes in the end? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should pick up the 65daysofstatic stumble.stop.repeat EP on dustpunk records. it's like Kid606 beating the fuck out of Mogwai with a DSP unit and a bust up Boss Fuzz pedal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so not entirely alike the white stripes then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tool the mars volta deftones nine inch nails system of a down rage against the machine our lady peace smashing pumpkins refused a perfect circle and that'll work just fine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These really do it for me now a days: Faith No More (oh yeah) (norwegian - highly recommended) (kick ass!!!) Slayer (old) Depeche Mode The Cure Tindersticks Weezer Dinosaur Jr. Danko Jones (you gotta hear it) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a rock and roller, first and foremost. Since you like wimpy stuff like Tindersticks, check out these pansies- The Pernice Brothers, Arab Strap, Belle and Sebastian (duh), The Lucksmiths, Aluminum Group, Lambchop, Antony and the Johnsons, The High Llamas, The Softies, etc. But most of all The Zombies- Odessey and Oracle, the best thing ever by anyone, period. What about the Kinks, do you like them? Ray Davies was shot recently. |

In the leg, no less... Someone insane woman at Asda decided to let me know. |

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tolstoyed, you should really listen to pixies, if you haven't already. I love them. get doolittle and surfer rosa first. royal trux is also very good. pound for pound is a good choice, I guess. I like that album. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm in severly addicted Faith No More at the moment. Just can't get enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i'll get to peter gabriel in a minute now..." see Peter Gabriel is't rock, it transcends rock music! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
