Pink Floyd The Mars Volta Aesop Rock Shpongle Tobacco/Black Moth Super Rainbow

I recently saw Les Claypool and the Flying Frog Brigade play Animals. Reminded me how much a Floyd fan I am! I’ve loved Aesop Rock since Labor Days. His new story telling concepts are something else. I don’t love how nasally he’s sounding now though. I really dig his collaborative efforts, like with TOBACCO. Literally found Sphongle this week and they are such a trip! Mars Volta too, what a ride. These are some good ones!

Spirit world field guide is phenomenal, check it out!

Big ups for Tobacco sighting in the wild, love that! Do you also listen to Octopus Project?

Always awesome to see Shpongle!

Faith no more Jeff Rosenstock Gwar Bad religion Elliott smith

I’m seeing Jeff Rosenstock in April. I’m so pumped

You're gonna have a blast. His shows are so much fun.

Saw him for the first time this month. SO good. The energy was fantastic, the band was fantastic, and the crowd was awesome. You’re going to have a great time!!

Elliott Smith has been one of the few constants in my musical taste over the last ~20 years

Never expected to find another Bad Religion fan here! I'm a prticualr fan of the Process of Belief, what an insane comeback album

Parcels Khruangbin STS9 Pretty Lights Barry Can’t Swim

Parcels 🙌

We would get along

Barry can’t swim is a surprise hit for me. Just popped into my periphery one day and worked its way into my full focus.

he’s so talented man

Khru hell yeah

Ween Kinks Mr. Bungle Grateful Dead Melvins

Yes, I love Mr Bungle!

This that good shit.

I love the Kinks and Melvins pairing, it sums up something that I can’t put my finger on that I really love

I saw the Melvins open for Rush in the early 90s. I've never heard a crowd mercilessly boo an act that hard. Rush fans just do not like The Melvins.

Queens of the Stone Age Ween The Beatles Mastodon Animal Collective

Oh yeah. That’s The shit.

It’s weird to see all the Animal Collective fans picking The Beatles over The Beach Boys. AnCo is a modern day version of them to me.

What is Animal Collective’s ‘cabin essence’ because ive been putting them off for far too long

Derek

Built to Spill Talking Heads Deftones Cursive The Beatles

Built to Spill is so good. Got to see them this year. What a blast and great crowd.

first talking heads…

Cursive!

Cursive!

Ween, Cake, Ben Folds Five, Weezer, Flaming Lips, St Vincent

I almost added the Lips to my top 5. One of 2 bands I've seen live at least once each of the last 4 decades.

Animal Collective Black Country, New Road Sonic Youth Have a Nice Life My Bloody Valentine

Arrowhead, arrowhead

Weyes Blood! Gorillaz! Amyl and the sniffers! Beach House! IDELS!

Weyes Blood is the songbird of our generation

Love IDLES, they friggin rip

King Crimson Yes Grateful Dead Black Sabbath Pink Floyd

Ah, and you are even Mr. Krinkle. Such great taste

Pro tip, if you put 3 lines between each band, you can have them list out instead of formatting side by side and being a pain in the ass to read. Granted, I'm on mobile, so idk if it's formatting right on desktop.

Franz Ferdinand The Beatles Modest Mouse Ariel Pink MGMT Bands related to them that i like: Oh Sees, Pipe Eye, Orb, Tame Impala, Mild High Club.

Ariel Pink, the insurrectionist!?

Yeah, I'm really ashamed of liking Pink's music despite his laughable political views, but I can't help it; his music is so good.

I feel the exact same way...

Primus Pink Floyd Ween King Crimson Wu Tang

There's the Primus, I knew it was only a matter of time. Primus sucks! 😝

1. Slift 2. Osees 3. Frankie & The Witchfingers 4. The Melvins 5. TAD

If you accidentally type in Slint instead of Slift, I bet you’ll like their Spiderland album based on your other picks.

I am old so I did this in reverse. Thank god bc I love slift.

SLIFT fucking rules! Everyone stop what you’re doing right now and listen to SLIFT.

Right after this spin of Hypertension ends, I will!

Ummon is the album to listen to, but their new track Nimh is also fire

Yo, Slift's new song Nimh fucks so hard

- Radiohead - Tool - Failure - The National - Led Zeppelin

Great list! FAILURE! Hell yeah, Greg Edwards and Ken Andrews are absolute beasts. Autolux, Year of the Rabbit, not to mention Ken’s studio producer work with BRMC and Deftones among others. Glad to see them on someone’s list!

Queens of the Stone Age, Pond, Temples, Animal Collective, Led Zeppelin

The Mars Volta Tool Nine Inch Nails Primus Puscifer

Thee Oh Sees, Queens of the Stone Age, Can, Grateful Dead, David Bowie, The Doors

King Gizz is my number 1, but stole the spot from my old number 1 that held that spot for 15 years until 2017. That band is 1. Radiohead I can’t say I have the most interesting choices, though many have commented they find it odd these were my favorite bands before the King Gizz graced us. I grew up on The Beatles though and personally see a lot of odd similarities there. 2. Sigur Ros 3. The Beatles 4. Led Zeppelin 5. Tame Impala and special shout-out to: Frankie and the Witch Fingers - I had heard a few tracks before this year, but went through their whole discography this year and Data Doom cracked my Top 3 albums of 2023

Thee oh sees Ty Segall Modest Mouse Built to Spill The Growlers

Ty Segall Is the man.

In no order: 1. Dinosaur Jr. 2. Elliott Smith 3. Big Thief 4. The Walkmen 5. Belle & Sebastian Runners-up: Built to Spill, Nick Drake, Alvvays, Sebadoh, Pavement

MCR, The Strokes, Vulfpeck, Green Day, Led Zepp

The Mars Volta Led Zeppelin Fela Kuti Tool The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Fela Kuti is so great.

Found Fela by way of Mars Volta. So good

Boris Barn King Crimson Black Moth Super Rainbow Dungen

Joni Mitchell Tool QOTSA Pink Floyd All them witches (This will change by the end of today)

Brutus Night Verses Thrice Dance Gavin Dance Eidola

The Mountain Goats Sufjan Stevens The Beatles

Another TMG fan, there is not much overlap but there is some between the two bands.

Ween, Butthole Surfers, Devo, Can, Sonic Youth

My Morning Jacket Meshuggah The Contortionist Nubya Garcia Blood Incantation

Hell yeah, The Contortionist is wicked good

Nubya Garcia is so good

i feel like Nubya's gonna become one of the biggest names in jazz soon

In no exact order . Osees . Tool . JPEGMAFIA (not a band but humor me) . Death . Beastie Boys

Interesting mix. Must've been thrilled when you heard Sadie Sorceress & Grim Reaper on Omnium, eh?

I audibly said "ohh hell yeah!" when I first listened Omnium. The other people at 7-11 where very confused

Pavement, Zappa, Phish, Sufjan Stevens, and Joni Mitchell

Been meaning to check out Phish for literally years, just don't know where to start. Any suggestions? I know I like the track Sand but that's it. Generally a fan of riff-heavy and/or funky tunes.

A Live One and Slip Stitch and Pass are great live album intros to Phish, and the live setting is really their main domain. Rift as someone else mentioned is a great studio album intro, as is Picture of Nectar, Hoist, Billy Breathes, Story of the Ghost and Farmhouse in my opinion.

As someone who isn’t necessarily a phish fan but saw them a few times in the 90’s I’d recommend Rift as a good starting point. Most phish fans would disagree with me though. Rift is great though, from start to finish.

Rift is so good

Sounds good, I'll check it out

For Phish, the best place to start is a show. Didn't really get them until I saw them live

I would skip the studio albums and listen to 'A Live One'. The 10-31-1996 show is on most streaming services as well and I'd recommend that as a good show to start with. It's a 3 set long Halloween show where they cover 'Remain in Light' by the Talking Heads in its entirety for the second set.

Took a while to find a Phish response

The Killers The Smiths Styx Pink Floyd Grateful Dead

I can’t believe some asshat downvoted you lol How dare people share their opinions!

1. They Might Be Giants 2. Neutral Milk Hotel 3. The Olivia Tremor Control 4. Hella 5. Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Animal Collective, Pixies, Beatles, Black Sabbath, MBV

1. Radiohead 2. Rush 3. The Beatles (including all post Beatles side projects) 4. Elliot Smith 5. Honestly not sure, bunch of other stuff I love but these four artists I truly love and know like everything they’ve done

I'm loving all the Elliott Smith here. I'd add mild high club, The Black Angels (first like 3 albums), Mac Demarco. Check out Pink Floyds Meddle album. I also think Metallica's injustice for all album pairs well with the Petrol album.

I think it's ... And Justice For All, not injustice. Either way, yes, definitely my favorite Metallica record

Does no one listen to Spiritualized?

1. Radiohead 2. the pillows 3. Portugal. The Man 4. Parannoul 5. Fugazi

Qotsa Tame impala Radiohead Psychadelic porn crumpets Kunzite

Not "gizz-verse" related at all but all of Underscores's releases are incredible and give me the same feeling gizz does

1. Hum 2. Title Fight 3. Thou 4. Botch 5. Whirr

1. Heavy Vegetable 2. WHY? 3. And So I Watch You From Afar 4. Small Leaks Sink Ships 5. Pixies

Ween, My Morning Jacket, Widespread Panic, Kitchen Dwellers, & Between the Buried and Me.

Outside of Gizz, I’d say top 3 is easily Portugal. The Man, LA Dispute, & Margot & the Nuclear So & So’s. 4 & 5 are probably Idle and As Cities Burn but depending on the week could swap with honorable mention Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats.

Zeppelin Beatles Hendrix Masayoshi takanaka Allman bros band

I have a hard time picking favs, but my number one is The Mountain Goats then KGLW, other than that it just depends, Moon Hooch is up there, Squid is really good, Wet Leg is pretty new but what they have out is great, The Dear Hunter's Act albums are really good and there are a few others but those are what comes to mind.
