Recommendations Thread - Music - Forums : Best Ever Albums

Mercury · 2014-02-28T15:55:43-05:00

This may already exist. I'd like this to be a place we can just post something that we really love atm. And then ask people in the BEA community to contribute some key albums that they feel will also be loved. I don't care how obvious it is. Like, not at all. Can be such a super obvious rec cuz you never know, maybe the person hasn't heard that album. Like example if someone is like "I fucking love 'Rust In Peace' by Megadeth right now! What are the most obvious recs that you would think I wil also love?" And then someone says "check out 'Countdown To Extinction' by Megadeth, 'Master of Puppets' by Metallica." That is kinda obvious, but also good. Anyway, yeah, just an idea.

Does anyone know of other Pre-Smiths/R.E.M. jangle pop or jangly post-punk like Orange Juice and The Feelies?

edit:Come to think about it The Cure's Three Imaginary Boys is kind of similar too

Anyone know of other songs/artists similar to this like The Feelies,Gun Club and Orange Juice being pretty much the originators of R.E.M.,Pixies and Smiths sound.

Hello,

I am fairly new to this site and also just opening my mind to different music (or at least i think i am 🧱 ) but are there any bands out there similar to Queens of the Stone Age. Love that stuff. Any and all suggestions will be welcomed.

Thank you have a nice day

That was a different question,this is specifically regarding jangle pop,whereas my other one was for influential bands that are less recognized.

These aren't super similar, but judging by your taste here are a few albums I could recommend....

Well, I'd say the obvious choice would be this:

Welcome To Sky Valley by Kyuss

Since that has Josh Homme before he formed QotSA.

I know what you were trying to go for but those choice of words doesn't sit well with me.

Kyuss would be the obvious starting point (both Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley are essential listening). Similar to Kyuss, but heavier, are Sleep (Holy Mountain and Dopesmoker are also both essential). Can't go wrong with Mastodon (my favourite is Leviathan, but the proggier Crack the Skye and the sludgier Remission are also great), early Screaming Trees (check out the SST Years Anthology), 8-Way Santa by Tad, Coral Fang by The Distillers, basically anything by Clutch, early Baroness. A recent album with a QOTSA vibe is Lore by Elder - it's excellent and you should check that out. Hope that helps.

The Physical World by Death From Above 1979

Thought that was really good from last year and their first is great too. Royal blood sound lots like qotsa in places but thought the album a bit of a let down.

I'd like solo piano music, but if it is another cool instrument, thats cool too. A torrent of shimmering piano keys is my ideal. Kinda like:

Or not. You guys have free reign. If you'd like you can recommend sweet melodic stuff. I like that too.

And I also want colourful shiny electronic music. Like this instrumental version of a Main Attrakionz song:
