Page 1 of What are you listening to now??? (Music recomendations)

Thought I`d put some album recommendations out there, after just scanning what I`ve been listening to the last few months through last.fm.

Arcade Fire- The Suburbs (started thread on that so won`t say anything else here)

Tracks to check out: We Used To Talk, The Suburbs, Month of May

Phoenix- Wolfgang Amadeus Bit of dancey indie mix, gutted I didn`t see them at Glastonbury, but Snoop Dogg was on and I made the judgement that Phoenix would probably be better in a normal gig in the future whereas Snoop Dogg would be awesome on the Pyramid stage (I was right ;) )

Tracks to check out: 1901, Liztomania, Fences

Broken Bells- Broken Bells It`s a side project from the lead singer of The Shins and Dangermouse. Really good album, I liked a few songs at first but couldn`t get into the album overall, but after giving it a few tries got really into it.

Track to check out: The High Road, Ghost Inside, Vaporize

Yeasayer- Odd Blood- Broklyn Band that`s again got a bit of a dancey feel to some tracks and are a bit hard to get into (actually thinks some people will really be put off by the first track and possibly Ambling Alp on first here) but definately give Ambling Alp a few listens as it`s one of those songs that gets stuck in your head.

Tracks to check out: Ambling Alp, O.N.E., Madder Road

Band of Skulls- Baby Darling Doll Face Honey-  UK band that sound very similar to White Stripes but are really good, another that I haven`t managed to see live yet, but would imagine are very good.

Tracks to check out: Death By Diamonds And Pearls, I Know What I Am, Patterns

The Dead Weather- Sea Of Cowards Worth checking out even if you didn`t like the first album, as bit like The Raconteurs who`s second album was much better after they`ve "found their sound." It`s a bit dark and grungy but I really like it.

Tracks to check out: Blue Blood Blues, Die By The Drop, Hustle and Cuss

Two Door Cinema Club- Two Door Cinema Club  Really they have all the makings of a band I shouldn`t really like, but they do have some really good songs.  Quite chart friendly, but have seen quite a few people say that they are a band they like but don`t know why.

Tracks to check out: Undercover Martyn, Something Good Can Work, I Can Talk




I got quite a few random recommendations for good music on here over the years, so thought may aswell give a bit of plug to some slightly off mainstream bands. :D

I`m not very musically adventurous but really enjoying the new Iron Maiden album, The Final Frontier.

I`m currently enjoying the fantastic ZTT remastering of Propaganda`s A Secret Wish album...

The new Rick Ross album is pretty good if it is your kind of music.
