Music: Thread o' "All Other Music"

Kula Shaker. They're a British rock band, big in the late nineties and early 21st. They broke up for a number of years but they're now releasing a new CD very soon. Personally, I love every single song on all of their CDs and EPs. They've got three EPs, two CDs, and a collection album, so if you're only going to try them out, you might as well get Kollected - The Best Of. I've been listening to Kula Shaker since they first began, and they're still my favorite band by a landslide. Definitely, definitely check them out if you're a fan of rock.

I've just downloaded the new album by The White Stripes, Icky Thump after reading/hearing a bunch of praise about it. Personally The White Stripes kinda disappeared for me after their song Seven Nation Army stopped being played 24-7 on the radio, but apparently they've been putting out several pretty good albums. This one is no exception, and in many internet-peoples' opinions, their best album yet.

There is honestly no song I don't like on it, but I think my favorites are Slowly Turning Into You and Catch Hell Blues. A lot of people are comparing these guys to Zep, and I don't altogether disagree. I generally dislike anything new or popular, but I really love this.

Here's a youtube vid of Rag and Bone, for anyone interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLcnPZbnX5c

I debated putting this in the metal thread, but since the band in question has a long pop legacy, and even the music I'm about to discuss is arguably not metal, I chose to write here.

I just discovered the band Genesis. Omfg! I'm not talking about the 80s stuff like Invisible Touch, or In Too Deep (which I grew up on, and actually enjoy). I'm talking about the 70s stuff, in particular two albums I've just heard today: Selling England by the Pound, and A Trick of the Tail. Unbelievable progressive rock music. I'm a huge prog metal fan, and kept hearing bands I love talk about Genesis as one of their influences, including Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, and Opeth. I kept dismissing the mention though, because what I knew of Genesis was only the 80s material. Horrendous mistake on my part.

I'm not sure how to describe this, but lets just say after listening to four songs, they have the potential of becoming my favorite band. Here are those four songs: Firth of Fifth, Entangled, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, and Mad Man Moon.

Here's the YouTube link to Entangled: http://youtube.com/watch?v=inblUMTHm...eature=related

..so beautiful...

edit: they're not kidding when they say "they just don't make music like they used to anymore."
