You might like Queens of the Stone Age. Stupid band name, but it is alright.

The obligatory good song(3's and 7's) with incredibly stupid music video:

I know I'm going to get a visit from Mr. M. Butt and his friend Mr. T. Iron for saying this, but the first Audioslave album was alright; since then, Cornell's been falling apart at the seams. :weep:

I discovered several good to very good bands while using WinMX: when I downloaded something from some guy, In usually browsed his other shared files, and if i found his amd my tastes almost overlapping, I downloaded everything I didn't know from him; this way I found a lot of new, good artists.

Of those suggested in the thread and listened till now:
Camera obscura, glasvegas:  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Asobi Seksu, Foals: :thumbsup: need more time
Silversun Pickups:  :thumbsdown: They seem a bit too emo for my tastes

Reporting on the TV on the Radio plus Animal Collective show I attended in mid-july:

Animal Collective: I heard something from their albums and was curious, if not eager, to listen to them live, but they were a big letdown: one echoed guitar and two samplers don't make people able to play music, in my opinion. Long, tedious noise sessions (7-9 minutes each one of them) and very little substance. It was like I was listening to Ross playing keyboards in the Central Perk. And their session lasted longer than TVOTR!  :mad:

Tv On The Radio: excellent set, very good musicians and scenic presence, the only letdown is they played less than one and a half hour. They played almost all the last album, and went back for only a couple of songs; high points: DLZ, Dancing Choose, Wolf Like Me, Staring at the Sun.

Animal Collective might just be a tad too "experimental" for me.

I haven't recommended much Danish music in this thread, but I gotta mention The Rumour Said Fire. Their EP is great, even if the label IndieFolkPop sounds scary. Check out the song Balcony. :w00t:

Totally agree on both counts.  I've seen TVotR live every time they've played in Chicago since before Return to Cookie Mountain came out.  I am a huge fan.
