the obligatory awesome ones:
Joy Division - Who could be weirder or more atmospheric than them - ye who think so, provide me with a track equivalent to "I Remember Nothing" or even worse(I mean better) "The Eternal." Fields of the Nephilim - "At the Gates of Silent Memory" - this is impressive - though "Last Exist For the Lost" and "Darkcell" are similarly great NIN - the MOST obvious - "The Downward Spiral" "Ruiner" "Hurt" and ETC. Alice In Chains, (Dirt, JAR OF FLIES), The Doors, Black Sabbath, even early Metallica, Nirvana, MAD SEASON a lot, Radiohead (some), The Tea Party (Canadian), OPETH (uhh.. probably the best band I've heard), actually yeah my idea of the perfect band pretty much ends with opeth (who covered alice in chains), except with a female lead singer (add in that staley/junkie aspect)... anyway...
The Tea Party... hell yeah! :D
One of my old favourites, they were pretty popular here in Australia. That guy is amazing!

Do you know who they are ? Death music isn't really my scene, but they f-in kicked arse. Singer had a couple of inches of black(?) hair.
A few artists that come to mind...
Gov't Mule http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf0BNlYY_RA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_kkbdBln0A Live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvBFbtQ1NwM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAMnjzU-6UQ Social Distortion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhC0231FRA8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0DP9VDYJNI Nickelback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usQhrIngzo8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boPAgl8WG1A The Ataris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6sxmWILUsI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFlix0_ya_M Mofro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecp-nD5aXIs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvxJRzJvwbQ Sarah McLachlan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSz16ngdsG0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWxzM9_gEo0 Also, Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew (pirate hip-hop ftw) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_s2ripz7xA Metal:
The God Machine Bolt Thrower Carcass Primus Pantera (in pretty much that order) Hip-hop: Swollen Members Aspects errr....I'll do electronic music another time. "Always on my mind" by Tiki Taane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3euc9pmst4M
If you are in NZ you're probably very sick of it by now :-) Listening to their first album (thx Pope!) and I must say while it gives me a Silent Hill vibe, which is a good thing, my favorite song is Adaptation of the Koto Song, which is just a cool, smooth piece of music that reminds me of winter. Awesome shit.
I really didn't enjoy Invaders, or the album they did before that, I forget the name.
The Prodigy I knew and loved is dead =( Was crap for me (can't even remember the name). Invaders has some good tracks on it - Take me to the Hospital and Thunder come to mind. But there's none of the long drawn out pieces like Voodoo People or Climbatize.
In fact all the songs seem too short to be Prodigy, coming in at under 4-5 minutes. The sort of length I'd associate with pop music. Prodigy fell for the loudness wars. Listen to their new stuff with that in mind and you might see. I liked Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned but never could listen to it as much as Jilted. One day I saw the waveforms...
What DaZ said but for me the album is still alive and great. So relaxed and yet so damn powerful. :)
