Guest Patrokles Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 It's a shame the only rawk band worth giving the time of day in the last few years has been System Of A Down, the whole area is dying on it's arse. You just haven't heard the right stuff! Hot Snakes, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what else I can dig up. I haven't really listened to much RAWK for a while, so HS are the only that spring immediately to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Oh, I guess Figurines rock. They're very good at least. Baby Woodrose rock in a 60s organ kinda way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walliver 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 On first listen, Albert Hammond Jr's Yours To Keep is a cracking album. And it sounds nothing like The Strokes. \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Seeing as you like the great Metallica, might I tempt you with a bit of metal? By the way which era do you prefer - before or after the lead singer Hetfield's voice broke (a little late mind)? I love Metallica saw them on the snake pit tour. I prefer their earlier stuff, master of puppets and ride the lightening being my favourite albums. So what metal did you have in mind then? Im patial to it but dislike the thrash stuff. Strange seeing as your favourite Metallica albums are from the thrash era. Good recent metal bands (with "clean" vocals - no grunts etc) I recommend, are Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Kamelot, Dragonforce and Nightwish.

Mew have been good for a while, Ravs are decent. Suburban Kids With Biblical names and Jens Lekman are grrreat. Broder Daniel are a guilty pleasure. Hakan Hellstrom is neat. That Frida Hyvönen is good. Hello, Saferide are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know Kashmir, you should try and listen to the "Good Life", "Zitilites" and "No Balance Palace"-albums, they're all really good!

I'm going to show myself up as a hit single-obsessed loser kid again here, but they have a 100% strike rate in the "songs I know by a band that are among my absolute favourite songs ever" stakes. That's 1 out of 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Go! Team album is very patchy indeed. Bottle Rocket was one of the best songs of last year but the rest is instantly ignorable. The Ice Storm offa their early ep is good. Thought the album was absolutely awesome myself, breath of fresh air as far as I was concerned. Thought they were excellent live as well.

Terrific song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuTS5lojLc Here's their other famous one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEmGhf9gBzk It's every bit as good. A lot of their stuff around that time was terrific, too. Seven Horses, Lovers Day, Reaping the Rich Harvest, Travelling Chest, Sea Song, etc. Familiar with the Associates, by the way?

Well, if there's one Associates song to know, it's that one. There's this one, too, of course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDL45Kvf7i8 and I love this one but no one else does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJYBGzyKR1M...ted&search= And this is a great live clip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
