I was trying to decided between the two actually. I ended up with Bends, but I might buy OK Computer some other time if I really like them enough.

So I just want to know all of y'alls general major band taste. Anyone who reads this just tell me your top 3 favorite bands and why. The reason why is big... Otherwise it's just rambling lists of bands.

I'm gonna exclude the ska bands and the like for this crew.

The first I would have to say for alternative are the Barenaked Ladies, I can't remember the first time I heard of them. I'm sure it was their famous One Week song. But they rocked pretty hard and I liked them, they were SO funny when I saw them on some random show, but never bothered to look into them, at the time listening to rap and music with cursing was the "IN" thing to do. :/ These guys are pretty underrated for a popular band too, The first thing people think when they hear them is the One week song, followed by Pinch me and if i had a million dollars.

The second I have to say the Arctic Monkeys. I loved all the songs off the Whatever People Say I Am album and it was all very catchy. Im gonna get another album by them one day.

The final would be The Paddingtons. Their debut album is really good, and like AM I loved all their songs. I really like their style.

Im going to one of the biggest indie clubs in london 2morrow night. Koko should be a fun night out, anyone been there before??

Ok I attempted to make an epic CD. 80 minutes of awesome.

Yes I don't have Wolf Parade on their, oops. I do love them but for some reason they just don't fit.

Yes there is awesome music that I do not have on here, but it is for the soul reason that if I want another song on here, I have to get rid of another (my apologies Sufjan Stevens and Architecture in Helsinki).

I actually find that I enjoy most alternative/indie bands. I'm not into any specific subgenre.

Will check 'em out.

1. Muse

I owe them for getting me heavily into the right kind of music (THIS KIND!), before I found them I had no music taste really besides liking anything that sounded good. I'll always love Matt Bellamy, in my eyes he is Godlike just as much as Freddie Mercury was. I rememer seeing a video for a Muse song back when I was like 14/15 I'm sure, and I was interested in it but had no idea what I was listening to as I never listened to alternative before. Then it was a wait of a few years until I really got into them when I first heard "Time Is Running Out". Funny thing was I was advised by my Hip Hop loving mate to listen to it! So I brought "Absolution" and I must of listened to it every night when I walked my dog (skipping a couple of different songs on different nights) for probably a month. Still my favourite album, I never tire of it, but after that month, I brought the other albums and loed them since.

Favourite Song: The Small Print

2.

TV On The Radio

I've thought about this a lot, and I could easil or not added them at all, but I truly adore how original and unique they do sound. Every song sounds different yet great. I was thinking of getting them off the list purely because I've only to listened to like 12 songs from them, I've still yet to download more. I fell in love with the song "Wolf Like Me" which a Canadian friend online sent me and I was instantly hooked.

Favourite Song: Dreams
3.

Bloc Party

Well they had to be in here somewhere. Back when "Silent Alarm" first came out, I heard a lot about these guys in NME and for some reason I didn't like the sound of them, never listened to that album, then a bit after that, they made a new song "Two More Years", I loved it, and slowly I got myself into their earlier released singles, then it wasn't until the release of "A Weekend In The City" that I REALLY got into them and then the previous album. I adore them.

Favourite song: SRXT

So I've been listening to this band called Blood Red Shoes. I find them strangely reminiscent of DFA1979, but kind of a british version. Might not be all that Indie, but surely they are Alternative.

Thought you guys might appreciate it, so here's there myspace.

I think he means what bands you currently enjoy, also if you've already bought stuff off iTunes, they have a "Just for You" section in the front page of the store. Check that out.

Whaaaaaaat? That's the weakest song on aWitC, which I reckon is leagues behind Silent Alarm.

Those are the four from my Favorite Bands that I find that I've been listening to more lately.

Try some Arctic Monkeys, Interpol, Maximo Park, Kings of Leon, perhaps.

Thanks ^^

Give me Modest Mouse, TV on the Radio, Wolf Parade, Shudder to Think, Plus Minus, etc.

I'm going to see Modest Mouse and REM in concert in June!!!

Tha's right. Be jealous.

Ew.

I'm totally sick of both of those bands.

I am currently getting more into TV on the Radio, though.

Sick of Muse? Muse is classic. If you get sick of it, then don't listen to them for a while. Come back three or four months from now, and you'll wonder how you ever stayed away. lol. But I agree with Bloc Party. Not really big fans of there's.

I was infatuated with TV's "Wolf Like Me" for the longest time. Lately I've been into more of Dirty-Whirl mood.

I haven't listened to Muse of my own will for at the very least a year.

It comes on when I put my iTunes on random every so often, but I usually just click through to the next song.

Usually being when I don't feel lazy.

Ah! Blood Red Shoes are an amazing band. I have actually had the pleasure of seeing them 3 times and meeting them briefly. You can really tell they absolutely love performing their music. When I saw them most recently in a rather small venue there was a stage invasion. Great fun =P.

I just saw the same thing but on the Leeds site. It's beyond belief how excited I am about this festival. Not only has it got one of the best line-up's it's had in years, but it's my first festival too.

Ahh the beauty.

Anyone like the Hellacopters? I discovered them in GH3, they're very good and just released a new album. Check them out.

OH MY GOD. BITCH.

Why won't Modest Mouse come to Austin? WHY. WE ARE NICE PEOPLE. GAH.

I want to see them so bad, you have no idea.

I'm seeing Wolf Parade in July though, at least Spencer cares...

So I've just deleted all the Muse I have off of my computer.

Just thought I'd share that.

Also, I just got Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone by The Unicorns, and I'm loving it.

So, this is like, a short walk away from me.

Anyone here like Throwing Muses?

Hey, get Intimacy, it's out now.

MAH MERCURY'S IN RETROGRADE

Bump?

Look's like I'm joining. I've recently generated a interest in alternative rock and was looking for a crew so I guess here it is!

I'm really digging rhcp, coldplay, weezer, cake, and radiohead right now.

Anyone got any good reccomendations on what I should check out?

If you like Radiohead, you may like some Muse. Check out some Modest Mouse also.

thanks
