Artists you've discovered thanks to MB members
 

I've done a search and found nothing so if this thread already exists then burn me at the stake for I have sinned.

Pixies - Been hammering Doolittle recently. Really enjoying this, decided to check them out thanks to Black Francis's fanboyism and I'm glad I did.

Prong thanks to Batlord.

Tis yeah although I've nothing to give.

Guess this will have to be locked.

EDIT - Since you mentioned Batty he got me into some nice Nazi metal so cheers pal.

thank goodness

A lot.

Since MB is right above me, he got me into Sigh. Excellent stuff.

I did?

I think so, one of my first plug sessions

I find a lot of stuff just by scanning through journals or posts. I went through my Last.fm and recalled some artists I remember finally checking out due to MB. Only maybe 2 or 3 of them were directly recommended to me. Putting down names and other info if I can remember the source.

Andrew Jackson Jihad (machine) - I knew them already, but had never listened - now a favorite in my library
Animal Collective (???) - I knew them already, but had never listened - turning into one of my favorites as of late
Arcade Fire (machine) - I knew and listened to them a bit already, but checked them out more in depth - need to keep checking them out, but love it
Beck (mordwyr) - I knew and listened to them a bit already, but checked them out more in depth - need to keep checking them out, but love it
Buddy Holly (???) - First time hearing about them - need to keep checking them out
Burzum (???) - I knew them already, but had never listened - got me exploring the black metal genre, and I'm lovin' it

I'm missing a lot, I'm sure. I seem to know a whole lot more artists than I actually listen to. That tells me I have a lot of catching up to do. Gah. Not a single artist I've listened to from here that I disliked.

I'll be checking out Captain Beefheart, Mac DeMarco, Elizabeth Cotten and some more Bjork tonight thanks to Frownland, Machine, Goofle and grtwhtgrvty.

I don't know how I remember half this ****.

Animal Collective (directly) and basically every recent band (indirectly) courtesy of Surrel.

^I'm always repping USA but I've seen Josef K and Mondo do it as well. Kinda surprised you hadn't heard of Primus before tbh.

I listened exclusively to nu-metal and metalcore up until very late 2013. I've only had little over a year to start getting into music seriously, so I'm not that surprised.

Ah ok. They're pretty popular and got a lot of radio play with Too Many Puppies and My Name Is Mud, plus with them doing the South Park theme I figured that they were a household name.

Got turned on to Kiev and Snarky Puppy via Plug.

I'd never listened to Swans when I first made an account here. I might not even have heard of them at that point, but I dug into their discography a bit before The Seer was released. And now they've fallen squarely into indie hipster whipping boy territory.

There's been more that that, but Swans is definitely the most listened-to addition to my library that I can clearly and distinctly blame on MB.

You're welcome :)



you picked a good album too, the only weak song that album has is Silver.

i feel im repeating this ppl too much but goofie introduced me to El-p who is one of the most interesting rappers ive heard in awhile and Mondo introduced me to Andrew jackson.

Those 2 artist i actually seeked out and now luv so thanx to them for that.

Thanks to Goofle and Pete for getting me into --- even recognising the existence of --- the mighty Strawfoot! :thumb:

Well let's see....

White Suns (Frownland )
Fu****susha (Frownland)
The Microphones/Mount Eerie (Overcast)
Kanye West (???)
WISK/Jesus The Carpender (Frown obviously)
Trouble Salad (Mondo, again obviously)
Hella (Mondo)
Why? (???)
Sleater-Kinney (Josef K? Not sure)
Women (???)

I'm missing a bunch but yeah.

The Pixies (Black Francis)
The Violent Femmes (Black Francis)
Elliot Smith (Briks)
The Smiths (Briks)
Tame Impala (Drive, Frownland)
Animal Collective (Drive, Surell)
Grizzly Bear (Drive)

assorted Paisley Underground (Urban, Oriphiel)
David Bowie (Urban)

Way more, those are just off the top of my head. About 75% of what I listen to.

Silver is a great song! Why does everybody hate it? :(

Cause it's horrible, it's like a boring old western flick and the vocals reach an annoying pitch that makes me wonder what the hell were they thinking putting that on an actual album.. that B-side stuff at best.

Pet Sounds needs some Hawkwind & Roxy Music in his life so I get another credit.

I love Silver.

AVALON for the win!

Nooooo the early stuff with Eno FTW

Urban speaks the truth.

I like it all but Avalon is their masterpiece IMO. Plus it's the best sex album ever.

Candles, champagne, and Avalon = An awesome time in the sack.

I'll get on it. :thumb:

I can never thank Pete enough for introducing me to O'Death. They've really come to occupy a very special, bittersweet place in my ongoing music rotation.

I also can't thank bob enough for turning me on to Whores. I think I've probably listened to their first EP more times than any other EP I've ever owned, no exaggeration.

Dont forget Azymuth

Glad to hear Devin Townsend is going well with you PS.

MrDood turned me on to Labor Days and Madvillainy, two of my favourite emcees right there. I wonder where the Dood has been?

Living life. I have him on Facebook. Seems to be doing well.

Tru dat.

I'm still not into his more extreme stuff, but Ghost is a phenomenal album and he's a great producer.

:wavey:

So I take it you dig? Anything in particular?

Ghost is absolute perfection. His production quality is always top notch.

For a good two years of my life just about every album I decided to download was discovered while wandering this board specifically, so there are too many to name here

A couple examples that spring to mind are a bunch of Goofle's favorite stuff (but not lana [puke]) like the auteurs and aesop rock is cool

I also checked out a ton of stuff that this guy raved about but he hasn't posted in 2 years so
Music Banter - View Profile: streetwaves

And then of course some cool experimental stuff that I got into from Frownland like This Heat and Madvillain.

Also Ninetales posts a ton of cool stuff in the ambienty genres and I've loved a lot of it

That's just off the top of my head

I'll do my best to remember who got me into what:

Mojo and Loathsome Pete I believe got me into Agalloch and Anathema. I think Janszoon.mentioned Igorrr somewhere and I instantly loved it. Frownland and Mondo's projects are fantastic and I love them for it. LiL got me into Roxy Music, so groovy And good.

On top of that, everyone here had made me realize through the years that I should never be ashamed of what I listen to, because the genres I like tend to have a bunch of bands that others listen to that I end up really enjoying.

I'm obviously missing a bunch of people.

so um

can I tear your clothes off now, or do I have to wait??

where did you begin??

and when?

I've been waiting for this day for so long.

Bob just introduced me to Schlong, they're pretty cool.
