You can't beat a bit of Paulo Nutini

Some good recommendations, and some shitty ones...

I'm gonna be a dick and mention 4 bands:

Minus the Bear, which was mentioned in another thread recently. Go see them live, they're orgasmic.

Explosions in the Sky
I got to see them for my first time this summer in their home town of Austin. The band every post rock fan should know.

Lotus
Lotus is one of the first "jazz" groups I got into outside of the classics, and I can safely say its changed my view on music all together. Their later stuff gets a bit more funky, but all of their music is totally danceable.

The New Deal
Lotus' less attractive cousin, but I'd still tap it. Lots of jam band and jazz influence.
Nothing worth linking to, but PM me if you want some of their stuff.

 

[Instrumentalist]

I had a Muse kick where that's all i listened to for months.


Silversun Pickups

YouTube - Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch

Great song. Been hearing it on my local radio. Didn't know about the video though. w00t

I realize that a lot of people have heard of MUSE (mainly outside of the US) but a lot of people haven't too (mainly inside the US). Maybe a more appropriate thread title would have been "Name One Band That EVERYONE IN THE WORLD Should Know About."









This band, I would be surprised if 5% of WF users had heard of them.

Gotta love Mike Patton, that crazy motherfucker!

Fantomas has some good stuff, but not for everyone.

Not sure how many people have heard of these guys, Sigur Ros:

I can't seem to embed videos for some reason. I just copy and past the embed code, right?

Protest The Hero. Those guys are awesome. I probably listened to their most recent album for a month straight without listening to anything else.
