I'm with you on War on Drugs. I only discovered them a few years ago and really like their sound. I'm not good at describing music but haunting and ethereal come to mind with them. Just looked at a couple of their live performances this week on youtube and they're great live. I didn't know until recently that Kurt Vile was with them at the start before going out on his own - I like some of his stuff and can see the connection.

I knew they were a Philly band and I don't know if they are considered a Philly sound but it struck me how different their sound is from the Philly sound when I grew up in So Jersey in the 50's-'60's with the Delfonics, Spinners, Stylistics, etc.
They got better and better since Vile left. And the band got bigger and bigger. Although Slave Ambient....the last album he played on by the band...is a pretty good album.
But it's mostly Granduciel....love his guitar. But the sound the band creates is awesome too. And he's created at least a dozen tunes that would make my list of all-time favorites.

Why would I do that ?
Anyone can just Google the band or the particular song and presto...lots of videos of tunes by the band appear.
Try it with the songs I already mentioned above or some of my many other favorites by this band.
Try Pain or Strangest Thing or Red Eyes or Thinking of a Place or Under The Pressure. It's real easy to do.
Or you could just Google The War On Drugs and you'll get access to pretty much all of their great tunes.
You don't need me to link it for you. It's easy.
Trust me, if I was able to do it anyone can.
BTW, you gotta try the live version of Harmonia's Dream. I was listening to it while I typed this and I swear I got a buzz. Awesome tune. I gotta go smoke a bone and listen to it with my headphones before the Army-Navy game comes on.

Satisfaction Skaank? - This ain't the Sherrone Moore thread.

Wow--Did not know Sk@nk was a prohibited word.

Interesting history to that song, apparently he's been doing it live since around 1999, but couldn't get permission from the Stones management company to put it out. Lots of pirated versions floating around.
