Try listening to:

The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow (new album - released back in March)

The Shins - Oh Inverted World (their first and in my opinion, the better of the two - try listening to songs like 'New Slang' and 'Caring Is Creepy'

thanks to everyone who's recommended something - i'll try to listen to as much as I can and i'll post some verdicts.

I'll second that David Kitt suggestion and add Turin Brakes into the mix as well. I prefer 'the optimist' to 'the ether song' if you're looking at one album to listen to.

I'm a huge Neil Young fan and also like:

-Tom Waits - Small Change/Closing Time
- Pearl Jam - No Code (Neil Young on backing for some of it)
- Marvin Gaye - Whats Going On
-The Velvet Underground
- Stevie Wonder
-Planxty
- Steve Earle -Jerusalem
- Beck - odelay
- The Pogues - If I should fall from Grace
- Badly Drawn Boy - Have you fed the fish?
- Van Morrison- Astral Weeks

Van Morrison/Tom Waits/Steve Earle - you will like me thinks

Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammible Material / No Sleep 'till Belfast

SLF are or at least were a great band inflamable material is one of my favoutite albums of all time but in my opinion no sleep till belfast is a dredful album.

Can we not just have a sticky where people can say "I am damn cool cos i listen to Crazy Alfred and his Masquerading and Musically Diverse Penguins of Doom (but they went to shite after stodgy jo the bassist left!)" and get it all out of our systems:)

Only Human · 20-06-2004 9:57pm

You might like Muse. theyre a great band. and i know you dont like disco but Michael Jackson. he has so much talent and his songs are genious. hes got songs in every genre. you seem to be into the more rock and indie genres so i would recomend Give into me, by MJ with Slash on the guitar. In fact the whole dangerous album. In my opinion hes the best Artist there ever was!

Superman · 20-06-2004 10:01pm

well,

check out marcus miller, real talented guitarist, most songs just real easy instrumental, nice to sit back to.

Inflammible Material is a classic, obviously.

No Sleep 'til Belfast isn't great I'll admit, but its about as good as live Punk albums get, it sounds nice and raw, and it's a good set. And it's worth having just for the title track itself, the best Beastie Boys cover I've ever heard.

For something a bit different try "Exile in Guyville" by Liz Phair. Best debut album ever IMO. Her second album, "Whip Smart" is excellent too, but don't bother with anything after those two.
