They're pretty good. Anything else? 10 Mile Stereo is pretty good.

Has anybody got an good bands for Pop-Rock? I recently heard Trading Yesterday's newest Album and I was awe-struck O.o

@ Crashic

I like Tiny Vipers and Feist; especially Life on Earth impressed me. I'd like to thank you for the recommendations. Already knew Portishead and The Gorillaz but both are good stuff. I'm not really into electronic music so I skipped the last one x)

@ Luigitoilet

GY!BE is indeed awesome. I'll check Björk out soon; wanted to do that before but never really got around to it :x

 

[telemaster]

boris - flood

minimalistic yet mammoth

careful with this one, it clocks in at a bit over 70 mins, 4 tracks total

one of my favorites @_@

maybe youll like it if youre into experimental/ambient/sludge/cool japanese stuff

 

[gm jack]

I quite liked the stuff Sunn 0))) and Boris did together.

I'd probably recommend either Conditions or The Years Gone By. They're both considered a little too heavy to be pop-rock, but i still think they fit the genre.
Conditions - American Castles
The Years Gone By - You Might As Well Be In Space

Enjoy!

Got anything else?

Really my top favorite bands right now are...

Coldplay
Vampire Weekend
Passion Pit

Coldplay- try The Temper Trap (listen to "Sweet Disposition"!), Sea Wolf, Grizzly Bear, As Tall As Lions, Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton, some of the slower songs by The Dear Hunter (try "Life and Death", "What It Means to be Alone") and the more obvious bands would be U2 and Radiohead.

Vampire Weekend - The Fratellis, Arctic Monkeys, The Ugly Club, Phantom Planet, Miike Snow

Passion Pit - Phoenix, Stars, The Postal Service

you've gotta like atleast one of these haha i hope i helped!

 

[Underload]

@ IcyDeath: Passion Pit and MGMT seem to go hand-in-hand for most people, it seems. I would definitely recommend them to somebody, if they asked me for music advice.

Besides MGMT, I'd say go for Miike Snow, Animal Collective, or maybe even Discovery. Those share a few common bonds.

 

[Miamisportsfan45]

I recommend Modern Day Escape.

I have both of these albums, highly recommend both of them. But, I don't recognize some of the titles, like the first 3 Flaming Lips songs you mention, and You're Lovely But You've Got Lots Of Problems by DFA79. Care to elaborate?

 

[Miamisportsfan45]

I recommend the band Lordi.

 

[BrutalXSpawn]

I recomend Confide, a christian Metalcore band.
They don't look like they'd do much, but they're pretty epic :]

Some of them aren't released on the albums mentioned, those are just my favorite songs by them.
The 3 Flaming Lips songs are from: At War With The Mystics, Spongebob The Movie Soundtrack, and Yoshimi.

The DFA1979 is from Romance Bloody Romance.

I dunno, it's a pretty awesome band.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I don't really see how NMH is some kind of band that you have to try hard to "understand" or grasp. It's very melodic folk music, that's all. The strangest thing is the abstractness of the lyrics and the vocals take a little getting used to I guess.

Some recommendates

Band: School of Seven Bells
Genre: electro-pop/indie
Description: Floaty, atmospheric, synthesizer-driven pop. Very hypnotizing vocals and arrangement but easy to listen to.
songs: Iamundernodisguise, My Cabal ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw_WcaZZj0o ), Half Asleep, Wired for Light

Band: Lole Y Manuel
Genre: Modern Flamenco/Folk
Description: Spanish Flamenco mixed with some classical Arabian rhythms and very unique and powerful vocals.
Songs: Tu Mira http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEKFsYucCiM , Alquivera

Band: Super Mash Bros.
Genre: Mashup
Description: Forget Girl Talk. Mash Bros are the best mashup artists around. If you're familiar with the genre, they won't surprise you too much. The samples they use are mostly hip-hop/mainstream crunk music mashed with tons of other genres. Everything is very dancey and catchy, and put together super well.
Songs: Adler Girl Pt 2, Livin The Dream (I'm on a Float) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ix6b0WrAkc&feature=related , Bruce Willis Was Dead the Whole Time, Broseidon Lord of the Brocean- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRKc-3nMI4U&feature=related

[Miamisportsfan45]

A7X comes out with their new Single tomorrow. I'm too excited for this...

 

[CRASHiC]

[Miamisportsfan45]

Avenged Sevenfold came out with a new single yesterday. The song titled Nightmare. check it out!

 

[zrky]

Band: Death From Above 1979
Genre: Dance Punk
Album: You're A Woman, I'm A Machine
Notable Songs: Little Girl, You're Lovely But You've Got Lots Of Problems, Pull Out
Description: Bass and drums. That's it. Most energetic music ever, it's so great.

Awesome band! My friend introduced me to them a couple weeks ago, and I just wish they were still together.


From my avi, if your into hard rock, Led Zepplin, Queens of the Stone Age or Foo Fighters, I really recomend Them Crooked Vultures (supergroup from the listed bands: Josh Homme, John Paul Jones, Dave Grohl). Hard rock at it's best imo

 

[Greenstreet]

For anyone looking for a little bit of acoustic music, try out Paul Dempsey. In particular Ramona was a Waitress, but his album 'Everything is True' is all good.

If your interested, I hope you enjoy.

 

[Miamisportsfan45]

Avenged Sevenfold's new album comes out on June 27th. I recommend it to everyone else for when it finally comes out.

I will see to it that I get that album

 

[Miamisportsfan45]

I start college the following day... I intend to listen to EVERY piece of new material.

 

[Dastrn]

Iron and Wine - The Shepherd's Dog (Indie)
Delphic - Acolyte (Electronic Rock)
Pendulum - Hold Your Colour (electronic)

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Actually, Dastrn, Hold your colour is DnB.

 

[Luigitoilet]

drum n bass is a subgenre of electronic music.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Why specify Electronic Rock, but not DnB?

 

[CRASHiC]

Because guitars are for ***s and you need to let people know when *** material is being presented.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I don't even know what word that's supposed to be.

it's all the same anyways. even if the sound originated from a guitar, you're listening to it through the same speakers/headphones.

 

[CRASHiC]

but I can tell its strummed and I despise that sound uggg

fingered guitar isn't so bad on my ears though.

 

[Sucumbio]

Tay Zonday. He's kinda old news I guess but I actually just heard him for the first time ever. "Chocolate Rain" goes back a while but it's definitely a worthwhile song, and his keyboard skills are fairly impressive. So yeah, I recommend Tay Zonday :D

 

[TheSlip]

Band: City And Colour
Genre: Folk Rock/Acoustic
Album: Sometimes
Songs: Hello I'm In Delaware, ...Of By Heart, Save Your Scissors
Description: Dallas Green from Alexisonfire's solo project, with acoustic guitar and occasional piano, it's definitely worth checking out, really, really relaxing.

Band: Elliott Smith
Genre: Folk Rock/Acoustic
Album: Either/Or
Notable Songs: Say Yes, Angel In The Snow, Speed Trials
Description: One of the greatest song writers of all time, and certainly one of the greatest musicians as well. RIP Elliott. You were incredible.

Band: Of Montreal
Genre: Indie Pop/Indie Rock
Album: Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
Notable Songs: So Begins Our Alabee, We Were Born Again As Mutants With Leafling, Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse
Description: Depressing lyrics with happy instrumentals, of Montreal really should be more popular, it's one of my favorite bands.
