That's one happening looking fish right there.

Clearly Radiohead is the best band going right now.

I know I have no credibility on this board, but please download "3rd Planet" by Modest Mouse if you are unfamiliar with them. That song alone started a chain reaction that led me to buy four of their albums. Their best album is The Moon & Antarctica. It is the best album of the '00s after Kid A.

Rob: you won't like modest mouse. Maybe a song or two, but not in general. <3

Well when I got into Modest Mouse I was HUGE into MGB and OLP, like he is.
Anyway, Issac Brock is one of the best lyricists out there (as demonstrated in "3rd Planet"). Their music can be challenging at times, but it is ever so fucking engaging. So, if you like music beyond bread rock you must check them out.

haha, thanks

I adore those bands, but they represent a very high quality niche that really doesn't have many peers.

How could you accurately describe them even? Intellectually-innovative-guitar-driven-post-grunge-but-pre-emo-heavy-alternative-rock-but-definitely-not-punk-with-sung-not-screamed-vocals-and-high-class-poetry-for-lyrics?

The more I think about it, the odder (and truer) this comment seems. I always just assumed that I was being ignorant by only listening a few bands in this "genre". I figured there must be tonnes of music out there like it, but that I was just being overly selective by only listening to a few of them. It just seems so weird that there aren't more bands tapping into this sort of sound. There must be the talent somewhere out there to do it!

Don't forget

I've got The Music to dance to.

I've been meaning to ask.

Do you really like them?

Because they can fit into the same kind of niche, only with layers of added swank.

And if you really do that opens up some options!

I like them, but not even close to the same level as MGB, IME and OLP. Definately not what I'm looking for. heh

Robbo! You should at least try the following...
Metallica
Megadeth
Ozzy Osbourne (his single stuff although black sabbath is pretty good)
Judas Priest
Rush
NIN
Blind Guardian
Oceanship

Holy shit, Street Spirit (Fade Out) is amazing.

Radiohead might just be hitting the spot right now. I'll have to listen to some more though.

Radioheaaaadd

Josh doesn't like them, don't listen to him!

That it is.

Jonny (Radiohead's awesome guitarist/keyboardist/etc) used to simultaneously play guitar and keys on part of that song when they did it live. I'm not kidding.

Download the other songs I listed.

did he.. grow a third arm?
