well, i do like mf doom fwiw.

[tbach24]

I dunno how similar they are, and I've only heard 2 of their songs, but Something Corporate are great. If you're looking to dl, the songs I like are called "Down" and "The Moon and Me"

[smokingrobot]

lenola - my invisible name

brilliant disc, friends of mine, and im not being partial.

[emptydoubleyou]

My Morning Jacket

I'd start with "It Still Moves"

[smokingrobot]

songs: el caminos in the west, chartsngrafs, the group who couldnt say.

check amazon for track listings. all 3 albums are pretty solid all the way through.

the 2nd is kind of melancholy, but has a couple rockers on it.

Get the rest of his singles? And get the About A Boy OST.

[tbach24]

Hmm. A couple of my friends who like The Killers also like these bands "Kaiser Cheifs" and "Hot Hot Heat" I don't like either, nor the Killers but you might (even though you included) so you might want to check them out.

[-Skeme-]

Disturbed - Down With The Sickness
Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl
Oasis - Wonderwall
The Shins - Caring Is Creepy
The Union Underground - South Texas Death Ride
The Union Underground - Turn Me On Mr. Dead Man
Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me (Feat. Michael Jackson)

[JMP300z]

Ill second Kweller.

you probably know these:

Elliot smith, wilco, rilo kiley, the flaming lips, etc.

[TheMainEvent]

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

I've calculated a 0% chance of you not liking this band.

[IndieMatty]

Anything Sufjan.

Granddaddy-Sophtware Slump

Hopesfall (Its like Hum + Hardcore)

[gorie]

have you heard possum dixon ?

[mike l.]

up your alley would be

sebadoh
elliot smith
mew
unwound
sufjan stevens

[bd8802]

Sufjan Stevens
Centro-Matic
Mike Gordon / Loe Kokte (i know you like Phish)

[lucas9000]

i listened to sumday. good stuff. they remind me a lot of wilco. that said, i wasn't blown away...i think i'm looking for something that rocks a bit more, or sounds more edgy, if that makes any sense.

[smokingrobot]

their new single rocks. you can get it at insound.com undertheir mp3 section. its called pull the cutains.

i'll try and think of some more stuff that rocks though.

Q and not U: We Heart our hive, a line in the sand, End The Washington Monument (Blinks) Goodnight, 9 things everybody knows

the album, No kill no beep beep is a rocker pretty much all the way through aside form like 3 songs. prett edgy. they're on dischord.

although now they broke up.

Edgey rockish? but still w/in the same feel?

The new pornographers- Mass Romantic, My slow decent into alcoholism, Fake Headlines

Cursive-The Recluse, Art is hard, Some Red handed sleight of hand

Say Anything-Admit it!, Walk through hell

The Wrens- Every Year You Wasted, Ex-Girl Collection

The Decemberists-July July, The bachelor and the bride, sixteen military wives.
N
The Go! Team has been mentioned on here many times.
Other bands to look into Interpol, Snow Patrol, The faint, Mars Volta, Sparta, Bloc Party, Neutral Milk Hotel.

not what i had in mind when i started the thread, but this is pretty damn good stuff. i'm looking forward to the hardcore thread!

[Sooga]

I'd recommend Spoon, specifically the 'Girls Can Tell', 'Gimme Fiction' and 'Kill The Moonlight' albums, I guess in that order. Honestly though, they each have their own great tracks, so it's hard to say one is much better than another.

this is very good. sounds a lot like weezer at times.

[smokingrobot]

yah, he took the book they wrote and changes it with his own lyrical style.

but it is definately weezer redone.

[zephed]

Reigning Sound (right, Gorie?). I've heard all of 3 songs by them. I like them. Just rock 'n' roll.

Thanks Gorie!

[zephed]

Rye Coalition is alright. The singer gets on your nerves after awhile though.

[smokingrobot]

i cant stand the singer for rye coalition. saw him open up for a bunch of bands in DC...

they're like a MC5 knockoff, mixed with some other stuff and a lot and not a good sense of song structure/melody etc.

[Jack of Arcades]

SLEATER-KINNEY.

"One Beat" is the best, followed by "The Woods"

I'll second nominations for Spoon and Ted Leo, two of my favorite bands.

The Secret Machines are pretty good (Now Here is Nowehere is their LP)/

uhh... what hasn't been reccomended. Kings of Leon. Get both CDs.

Get anything by the Exploding Hearts.

Dismemberment Plan. "Emegerncy & I" and "Change" are classics.

If you have AIM, IM me at RonMexicoForMVP and I'll set you up, you can download anything you want from me.

[smokingrobot]

yah, spoon, ted leo, dismemberment plan all good.

ted leo is possibly one of the best songwriter's out there.

i saw them on their last tour, and the singer was not amused by my nerdy jopke about his use of aol, when he mentioned it between songs.

I kinda associate them with Keep it Like a Secret by BTS, but yeah, I can see why not.

Anyway, Kings of Leon are really good indie pop with edge.

[smokingrobot]

last time i saw joan of arc this dude yelled out "break up on stage again!" i thought there was gonna be a fight.

[IndieMatty]

So can you clarify what you are looking for?

You have listened to me in the past and gotten your hands on all the minus the bear you can get right?

Highly Refined Pirates. Just go out and buy it. If you don't like it, I'll transfer you $13.95.

I have only made an offer like this before and that was to Jake for the Steak Quesedilla at Taco Bell.

(Just to let you know how serious I am)

no need for the transfer. i really like it...it's kind of proggy, but that's not a bad thing. good call on this one...i will seek out more of their stuff.
