OT: the SPS music thread

[hatfieldms]

It's almost summer and not much else going on. Let's hear some of your favorite bands others might not have heard of

 

[57stratdawg]

JJ Grey, John Butler Trio, Backyard Tire Fire, Houndmouth,

 

[Chesusdog]

I've been digging this band called Led Zeppelin, they're pretty good but Rolling Stone didn't give their first album a very good review.

[CochiseCowbell]

J J Grey and Mofro
Jamey Johnson
The Possum
The Red Headed Stranger
And my grill just won't seem to fire up without cold beer and Pandora's Outlaw Country Station.

Oh, "bands that others might not have heard of" (reading comprehension)...so I guess just the first entry. Though I have seen some love for them expressed around here before.

[Optimus Prime 4]

Lukas Nelson, who is everything Shooter Jennings wishes he was...

Is one of my current favorites, he can sing like his dad or shred an electric guitar. Gary Clark Jr. Is a legit blues guy, Keller Williams, Assembly of Dust, Blind Pilot are all good.

 

[Cancellerius]

Cuzz Fuzz Buster and the Heat Rash
Dirty ******
The Idaho Taters
Bacon Grease

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

For the metal guys- Mastodon

They have a new album out that's pretty good.

Feliz Brothers
El Ten Eleven
HAIM
Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9)
Phantogram
Jason Isbell (new album is what country wishes it was)
Big KRIT
Pusha T
Widespread Panic (i've heard their earlier stuff is great)**

 

[horshack.sixpack]

I submit The Dead Milkmen

It's almost summer and not much else going on. Let's hear some of your favorite bands others might not have heard of

Not because I like them but because it seems all message board music threads turn into a competition to name obscure bands. My theory is that nobody actually listens to half of these listed. May just be me...

 

[mudbugs817]

Some great artists already listed, I'll add

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, Christian & the 2120's, The Dirty Guv'nahs, Josh Weathers& the True Endeavors, Lincoln Durham, The Quaker City Nighthawks, Vintage Trouble

 

[HWY51dog]

Lucero. My all time favorite from Memphis.
Lee Bains III and The Glory Fires. ( Lee went to MSU for a min)
Country- Sturgill Simpson, Matt Woods, and Chris Night. All old school country.

 

[dorndawg]

CEDAR CREEK RAMBLERS**

 

[Bigdawghouse83]

The Lac's, Jackson Taylor and the Sinners, Moccasain Creek, Big Smo, Bottleneck......Love the Dirty south/ southern/ Rock/ country/honky tonk sound

 

[hatfieldms]

Some more I will add

Trampled by turtles
Greensky bluegrass
Honey island swamp band
Mark Edgar Stuart
Turnpike troubadours

 

[lazlow]

DMM

Not because I like them but because it seems all message board music threads turn into a competition to name obscure bands. My theory is that nobody actually listens to half of these listed. May just be me...

The DMM actually played in S-vegas around 89-90ish...

 

[vhdawg]

Big Wreck

...and I swear I must be the only person in MS who ever heard of them. Great band.

 

[hatfieldms]

You are right.

I don't listen to half the bands I named

 

[57stratdawg]

Hahah they were awesome, sucks they broke up. Canadian band I believe. FUSE use to rock their stuff quite often. Those guys were bad *** musicians.

Found this on youtube:

[57stratdawg]

This too: live version of The Oaf

[Uncle Ruckus]

I'm not a music snob and listen to bands most people have never heard of. That being said all I've listened to for the past couple months is motley crue. And the occasional jamey johnson.

 

[treeddeep]

Steve Earles son Justin Townes Earle has put out some outstanding records

 

[BeardoMSU]

It's almost summer and not much else going on. Let's hear some of your favorite bands others might not have heard of

Elliott Smith, The Pixies, Tears for Fears, Sisters of Mercy, Genesis, Haim, Public Enemy, Regina Spektor, Tegan and Sara, The Birds of Satan, Black Foot, The Band, David Grey, Phillip Glass, Echo and the Bunnymen, Squirrel Nut Zipper, The Stooges, Thin Lizzy, Ghetto Boys, Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, Flogging Molly, Digital Underground, Modest Mouse, NOFX, Bad Religion. (in bold, are some of my absolute favorites, regardless of exposure)


I challenge anyone to beat my list.

 

[treeddeep]

Solid list. I've always thought echo and the bunnymen were a better band than joy division. I spent a good part of my high school life in my room listening to Elliott Smith and Smiths/Morrissey records

 

[treeddeep]

I don't know if I'm a music snob but I can tell you this. There's someone on this board with an avatar of a Phil Spector produced Leonard Cohen record. I love both of those guys but that's about as snobby as it gets. (In a good way)

I've seen Leonard Cohen and he writes some legit soul crushing music.

 

[aTotal360]

I'll have to check it out.

 

[SanfordRJones]

It's not going to be out until June 24.

 

[futaba.79]

Littile Feat...........

with Lowell George was the best band ever.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

They did a preview of it on xm radio the other day. I thought it was out now.

.

 

[vhdawg]

Hahah they were awesome, sucks they broke up. Canadian band I believe. FUSE use to rock their stuff quite often. Those guys were bad *** musicians.

Actually they're back together, mostly. Different drummer and bassist, but that band was all Ian Thornley and Brian Doherty anyway. They released an album a couple years ago and have another one coming out in June.

 

[rem101]

Besides the heat rash, that sounds like a pretty good late night.

 

[kired]

Shovels & Rope - they've been around for a few years but I just found them about a year ago.

 

[fishwater99]

Chris Robinson Brotherhood and Anders Osborne...

Your Welcome.......

 

[hatfieldms]

Chris Robinson brotherhood is awesome

Far and away my favorite lineup of his. Love his new album.

Also an Anders fan

 

[hatfieldms]

If you haven't already you should check out Mama's Love

.....

 

[SanfordRJones]

They've leaked a couple of songs.
