Morrison J Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I need some new music to be listening to, any era. Doesn't matter how popular it may already be.. I'll start it off: Royal Blood. Amazing sound for just a bass and a drum kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison J Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Trying to get a feel for your era. How old are you The era doesn't matter. I love bands from the 60's up to the modern day. In my 20's though! My favourite era's would prob be the late 60's/early 70's or the late 80's if thats any help. Didn't realise there was such a lack of rock music fans on here..the ipod is just getting a bit stale these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Here. If you like bass check the solo out at the 3:35 mark. Suck On This is, IMO, the greatest live album ever recorded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvH2fUlswjg&sns=em Not really a fan of the video but one of my favorite fugazi songs Love the energy of their live shows. I genuinely miss getting to see them live 7 seconds was always a guilty pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Perfect punk band. Good enough to write great harmonies, bad enough to be sloppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSkin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's like the Friday night thread with a rock slant on a snowy Monday that feels like Friday! Indie/Rock is such a broad term. Not sure if you want more rock-y rock, metal-y metal, or punk-y punk... Can never go wrong with The Bad Brains Bonus old DC punk rock Good stuff zoony.

Bang Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 three things completely different. I've heard there are no banjos in rock and roll. Yeah, right. Hawaiian groovy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld4VZBKRyf4 An underrated favorite.. i love Echo and the Bunnymen. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison J Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've got some listening to do! Appreciate all the suggestions. And Bang I know you've nailed it already. Stone Roses are probably my 2nd favourite band only behind The Doors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Then seriously, Echo and the Bunnymen are for you. Heavily influenced by the Doors. If you're on Spotify, check out the Live from Royal Albert Hall album. They are SO good live i prefer the live stuff to practically any of their studio versions. This takes about a minute of crowd noise to get going..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDMDqOT1x7w From the same showhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34gZnaItgDQThe guitar work in this one is just straight Robbie Krieger.. the whole tune is very Doors. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hearty endorsement of the Bunnymen recommendation. The first four albums are incredibly strong, and hold up really well. Anyone else at the GW Lisner show back in the day, '85 or '86? McCulloch was so plastered he almost tipped into the front row a few times. Not Replacements schnockered but still pretty gone.

Morrison J Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I always liked their song Killing Moon from the film Donnie Darko, been meaning to give them a listen since but never got around to it. Will give those recommendations a listen. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Knowing that you are a Doors fan, I'm trying to come up with bands that someone with awful taste would like....and I'm struggling. I kid. I kid. Echo and the Bunneymen is a decent place to start. They are moody and atmospheric, but, like, good. I've been on a huge Bowie kick for the last year or so. You can do worse than just burying yourself in his 70s work for a few years and emerging as a bisexual junkie. I saw Gaslight Anthem and Against Me two months ago. I liked them.

SoulSkin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Love old Bowie and Gaslight Anthem is also really good. I missed Echo and the Bunnymen because I was probably still listening to a lot of punk at the time they were popular. I'm going to have to backtrack and check out their work. I like what's been posted here. Someone else you might like Morrison, and maybe others here, is Mark Lanegan. He always used to draw a lot of comparisons to Jim Morrison. He also has some Tom Waits-ish stuff. He was in one of my favorite overlooked Seattle bands, Screaming Trees. They got lumped in as a grunge band but they reminded me more mix of psychedelic, punk, a little Seattle sound, and just rock. Their stuff is worth checking out, but not for everyone, and I'm thinking you'd like Lanegan's later stuff. He also was in Queens of the Stone Age for a while and has many collaborations with many artists.

Morrison J Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm a bit of a Bowie obsessive. Station to Station being one of my all time favourite songs. Big fan of the Ziggy, Low, Hunky Dory and Diamond Dogs albums especially. His new one out the other year was great too. Gaslight Anthem sound pretty good. Will give them a proper listen. Thanks. SoulSkin, those Mark Lanegan songs are right up my street. Never heard him before. Excellent. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my_friend_goo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 SoulSkin, those Mark Lanegan songs are right up my street. Never heard him before. Excellent. Thanks! If going down the Lanegan route, don't miss out on the work he has done with Isobelle Campbell. Two very contrasting voices that work beautifully together.
