Hey! It's been awhile (computer problems). In fact, it's been so long I've been using the wrong screen name. My normal forum name is "saint_simon" so I've been telling folks that I use it for here. Sheesh. It was a pain to log in.

Anyway! I'm always looking to try new things so I have a challenge. Everyone post 1 band that you think everyone should try to listen to.

Here's mine: Gabriel the Marine.
Seriously, you guys- they're freaking awesome! They aren't a big band yet(although they're trying), they have 2 EPs one that is digital only and the other that can be purchased for 5 dollars via the internet. Very good deal.

You can find them at http://www.myspace.com/gabrielthemarine

Birds of Tokyo

and

Little Birdy

The Refreshments

My two favorites: Nada and Mekong

Coph Nia. In particular, The Oath.

Man man.

Tool.

The Mountain Goats

The Cardigans

I can only trust the attorney general...

I'd like to second Birds of Tokyo and The Mountain Goats. And on the note of Birds
of Tokyo, good to see more and more people know about Karnivool.

Also, I wish everyone knew about Boy Hits Car and Fragile Vastness.
I'm sure I could think of more, but it's kinda sad to see good bands remain
so obscure. Fragile Vastness don't even have a real, proper Wiki article.
Or a last.fm page for their latest album. Makes me sad.

Oh, so many. I'm not tied into the indie scene much at all, so mine are possibly well known already, but right now, I'd have to say Epica.

This guy: http://www.rakielis.com/

He's got so much. Seriously, I might go as far to say his music is like Classical for new age. Great Electronic music that everyone should give a listen too. Both mx u and mx i are great songs, but to be honest, all of them are amazing =)
