Want to Impress Your Friends? Or have them think you're a total loser?
 
Here it is...

100. ISAN "Plans Drawn in Pencil"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...wninpencil.jpg

Wow I just found out these guys remixed Ef who are one of my favorite post-rock bands. Awesome anyway it's ambient and minimalistic music with nice melodies, I encourage it for chilling.
Favorite Song: Corundum

99. Black Eyes and Neckties "Stiletto"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/stiletto.gif

Fast paced horror punk with catchy riffs and choruses they're a pretty addictive band even if they're nothing special.
Favorite Song: Back from the Dead

98. I, Robot "Et Cetera"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/etcetera.jpg

Kind of typical screamo but the screamer is so awesome and Welcome the Plague Year-esque it doesn't matter.
Favorite Song: Now I Owe You a Favor

97. We All Have Hooks for Hands "The Pretender"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...epretender.jpg

Shouty, fun, loose yet very cohesive. It's We All Have Hooks For Hands probably one of the most why aren't they famous bands ever? They took chamber pop and threw in a variety of influences and came out with a sound total unique.
Favorite Song: Hold On C'Mon

In reality people are never impressed when you name-check obscure bands, they just think you're a massive loser.
I'll give these a listen...

:d:d
Edit: Don't let me do smileys then

I liked Isan, reminded me of Mogwai for some reason despite being very little like it. Black Eyes and Neck Ties are cool too despite not being the kind of thing i normally listen to, must be the name.

You're going to love I, Robot I can feel it. :)

This thread delivers so far I've never listened any of these(including I, Robot!)

96. Talkdemonic "Beat Romantic"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...atromantic.jpg

I don't really know how to describe this band, they kind of have this similar vibe to some of those stringed post-rock groups like Belle Orchestre but at the same time have this acoustic guitar with beats Sans Arc thing going on. Just listen.
Favorite Song: Bering

95. Get Him Eat Him "Arms Down"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/armsdown.jpg

Fun and nice guys who have such a great ear for pop. This is probably what early Hellogoodbye would've sounded like if they were more masculine, but only slightly more masculine. I love how the synthesizers sound just because they're so oddly and uniquely used. This band also sounds like a better and more unique version of some trendy indie-pop band I really can't think of.
Favorite Song: Push and Pull

94. Joy Wants Eternity "You Who Pretend to Sleep"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...endtosleep.jpg

I hate doing this with post-rock bands I really do but everyones heard of Explosions in the Sky and they embody so many post-rock features its hard not to compare every band to them. Joy Wants Eternity are post-rock in the ways of Explosions in the Sky and they have this brilliant way of keeping your attention throughout their album which many post-rock bands seem to be unable to do.
Favorite Song: From Embrace To Embrace

93. Boom Bip "Seed to Sun"
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a.../seedtosun.jpg

The hip hop Boards of Canada, that's right. I said the hip hop Boards of Electronica.
Favorite Song: Pulse All Over
