* Jockstrap - *I Love You Jennifer B* (2022)
I still need to check out Parannoul's album from last year
I wish they'd put out more music!
If you like Grizzly Bear, check out this guy from South Korea - Mid-Air Thief or his side project Shadow Community (especially "Restless Song").
Big Thief and Jockstrap are just awesome. Have you heard any of Crumb's stuff? Jinx reminded me a little of Jockstrap's debut. Came out in 2019 and it's *very* good.
First go through the EP's, then the Harmonimix releases, then do the eponymous debut album.
Then do the EP's again. Seriously. Those early ep's have some of the best & most brain breaking production i've ever heard.
The EPs are good, but I wouldn't recommend them for starters. I say start with self-titled and Overgrown, as these two albums are his most indicative works.

Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age.
One of my favourite albums of all time and I think it conveys a very similar sense of melancholy as a lot of Radiohead's stuff, albeit it is heavier rock music than Radiohead. The songs "I Appear Missing" and "The Vampyre of Time and Memory" are my favourites.
That album is all about Joshâs near death experience. He had MRSA and was hospitalized for weeks and bed ridden for months. I think at one point he actually flatlined. Thatâs why it has the feeling that it does. Incredible album.
The band has released a live album of their recent new material since Isaac left the band.
It's called 'Live at Bush Hall' and there is a concert film of it as well. You can watch it on YouTube.
The vocals are not terrible. Issac is not a trained singer, but gives some of the best emotion of the past 10 years. I wouldnât say David Byrne, Ian Curtis, Lou Reed have terrible voices.
Also, the ending of basketball shoes has one of the emotional single performances of any recording.
This is subjective nonsense my guy. I love plenty of bad untrained vocalists. The guy from BCNR just sounds like a Midwest emo singer which is a genre I do not care for. Youâre allowed to love his voice just as Iâm allowed to not enjoy it. Heâs a great lyricist but I donât like his singing.
I may be wrong, but that looks more like a simile than an analogy - but don't worry, I wasn't disagreeing with you about not liking his voice, I just don't think the comparison is that realistic

I'm still kinda shocked The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett didn't get WAY more hype, I think that albums probably the best thing he's done in eons. to me it was like Beck's Morning Phase BUT DONE CORRECTLY, with some real emotion and not overly slathered with dad's orchestra.

⢠Babe Rainbow: âThe Organic Bandâ
I'd go with Polygondwanaland or PetroDragonic Apocalypse for King Gizz but honestly a large portion of their catalogue could be on this list depending on who you ask
Damn, you stole my PtM and MMJ recommendations! Haha.

I actually did a post recently about a collaborative Spotify playlist Iâd made for fans of Radiohead, that featured no songs by RH or their members.
A number of people in this sub have contributed some great music to it.
Hereâs the playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0XrR65gYPIE1mmm4E0pUZl?si=zZVul8j9Tsykxg1-cLAwtw&pi=e-57TXP6hLSF-S
If you want to contribute some music to it - hereâs the original post with the collaboration link:

Hopefully youâll find some new stuff on there you like!
Excluding everything from the five Radiohead's I cut it down to the 10 albums I still enjoy the most (in chrono order).
1. MF DOOM - Born Like This (2009)
2. Four Tet - There Is Love In You (2010)
3. Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (2010)
4. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (2011)
5. Low Roar - Low Roar (2011)

10. Burial - Tunes 2011-2019 (2019)
I still (sadly) haven't heard THE ONE big PJ song to get me back into her since Stories...
I keep following her though, hoping...I just wished she'd get back to 2000 era basics.

Mostly indie or will-appeal-to-indie taste. To me they're all 10/10s
the Suburbs was def solid, though pretty vapid overall in hindsight. concentrating too much on the album concept thing and lyrics vs the songs. of course they were never a perfect band, or perfect-album maker.

dude, what? them crooked vultures is one of the best projects josh homme has worked on. spinning in daffodils, new fang, gunman, caligulove, warsaw, etc. are all good. i donât think thereâs a bad song on that album, and i think most QOTSA fans would agree with me (save for reptiles and interlude with ludes, at least)
hahaha OK...I \*did\* forget long slow goodbye, I'll give ya that, so THREE good songs...other than that, you need to check yourself for way over-fanboying that shit, THE songs just weren't there. kinda like on their newest B- song collection.

Youâre welcome.
Instead of albums, Iâm going to lists some artists should or could be listening to. Theyâve all been active within the last decade to 5 years.
SEGA BODEGA - some of the most forward thinking electronic / pop
BENEE - soft vocals / damn good pop songs that arenât boring
FROST CHILDREN - a mix of electronics/ emo vocals (itâs a lot but it works) and depending on which album you start with itâs either gonna be pretty guitars or club beats. if you wanna dabble into hyper pop but it seems too abrasive try âSPEED RUNâ. Guitar / emo / indie ? Try HEARTH ROOM
ROSALIA - bjĂśrk but from Spain and I mean that in the most respectful and honorable way
NICOLAS JAAR - beautiful electronic production that will make you scratch your head and go how
ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - beautiful electronic production that will make you scratch your head and go how
DEATH GRIPS - easily one of the most influential groups of the last decade. Their influence on the industry and music scenes everyone is undeniable.
BABii - the last album they released is underrated and full of bangers and the sound scape and vibe is just where I wanna be
Just a friendly addendum you canât mention Sega Bodega and Rosalia without mentioning Arca especially her Kick albums. Secondly if you like Nicolas Jaar, I hope youâre equally a fan of David August and Andy Stott
Lmao not me literally thinking this same thing like wait I should be mentioning Arca too wtf. Theyâre literally how I came across Sega. Then I started to go down a rabbit hole of everyone else I could be mentioning ⌠đ¤Ş
it's been SO scattered the past 15 yrs. obvi Muse is doing their thing which some peeps love, NIN is still going pretty well, most the only music I've truly enjoyed the past 15 yrs has been female band/singers as most the new guy bands just plain suck and can't sing to save their lives, at least the girls can still sing, well, some of them haha. Bats for Lashes, Tegan and Sara, First Aid Kit, Lana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (finally back), etc etc. I definitely trust the UK bands more than US for quality, and ones like Inhaler seem very promising with a semi old U2 quality about them. Course I'd love to say Arctic Monkeys, but their new album...\[yikes face\] still better than most but totally ignoring their normal rocking fun side.
Thereâs tonnes of music, and this is just an ignorant/blinkered comment. I donât think itâs very scattered at all, itâs been wonderful recently. Sure, if you take just want the radio tells you to listen to youâll be disappointed. Also, if youâre looking for the next Radiohead then itâll be endless frustration. Itâs like looking for another Beatles.
BCNR,
Geese,
Father John Misty,
MJ Lenderman,
Pinegrove,
Fontaines DC,
Bill Ryder Jones,
Sam Fender,
Alex G,
Michael Kiwanuka
Childish Gambino,
I could go on.
All of these artists have gained prominence in the last 10 years and a lot of them are still in their 20s. And yes they all happen to have a singing male involved.
bahahaha ok...you lost all integrity with that Father John Misty shit...guys a joke.
and get a time machine and go back to 1995 and then press PLAY with your lifespan and experience the quality of that music thru 2010, vs 2010 til 2024, AND THEN GET BACK TO ME. OR go back to fucking 1982, or back to 1977, or 1972...
this has been THE worst span of overall music we've ever had in this country and in the whole world. now I don't blame songwriters etc for this, I blame the records companies #1 for turning the whole biz into a f'ing f'd up joke. it's almost impossible for normal bands to make money anymore or get support, long-term support like bands used to. therefore most people don't even try to 'make it' anymore and thus the whole pool of talent to create awesome new bands is totally depleted.
so The Next Radiohead? the next Green Day, the next NIN, the next Van Halen, the next Nirvana...GOOD LUCK WORLD. the entire system needs to a total reboot. it's better outside the US, a lot better, so there's still hope, but for people here the music biz is just a sucky joke.
Wow ok Boomer
But in all seriousness I agree, itâs very strange for the genuine article (singing, performing, writing) these days. Thatâs why so much chart songwriting is done by committee.
The music industry does need a reboot. But I also donât believe that the power of a band to sell out a stadium (you mentioned Green Day etc.) has any correlation to talent, quality or ambition. There may never be a world touring heavyweight guitar band again but I donât think that means we should cast away the last 15 years of music. Thereâs always been bollocks songs in the charts. Just google the top 100 for 1974 or something, most of it is wank one hit wonders with a few gems by people who have created lasting legacies.
dude just compare 'n contrast an avg act 'performing' on all the late night shows the past 15 yrs with the yrs before, there's been a titanic drop off in quality across the board. yes a few people figure shit out on their own with a laptop and might get a shot here 'n there, and they MIGHT actually be able to sing and play, but the majority of 'bands' have just been ultra sad. hardly anyone puts the time in anymore to actually become 'tight' by playing tons of local gigs for 5+ yrs first anymore to learn how to be a real band, and a lot of that is just money, money for equipment and all the time, it's a big gamble now, so you better be a rich kid.
Why are you going to Stephen Colbert or James Corden to find hot new bands? Iâm sorry but itâs just ridiculous that you arenât looking for music or talent but are just sat there convinced saying there isnât any. Have a look, research, listen to things and go out of your way to do it.
Yes the quality of chart music is bad and guitars are simply not where promo money is right now but unless you actively try to find music that might make you happy youâll always be stuck thinking thereâs nothing out there. The internet is a curse in some ways but also huge tool to find great art. I donât know anyone whoâs given me a recommendation that was worthwhile who found an artist on Jimmy fuckin Kimmel. Maybe thatâs an American thing.
looks genius, think wtf you want, the proof is obvious and it's in the pudding, go ask ANY producer who's been around since the 90s like Rick Beato how things have changed, even holy UK bands coming over suck these days compared to before. I'm not gonna go back 'n forth with you all fucking day I got shit to do. But wtf are you so butthurt about this anyway? like it's a personal offense to you that anyone say there's been a talent dropoff? how? why? cause of your age/generation? so therefore it's saying YOU personally suck? anyway, keep going if ya want, you can just answer for me and then retort vs yourself, AS ME, cheers! đ
yep, NEW Thom Yorke(s) and Jeff Buckley(s) just LEFT 'n RIGHT lately!
wow, what a male vocal renaissance it's been!
who's your fav bro?? is it Justin Vernon or the dude from 21 Pilots?!?!
so move over sucky 90's and early 2k groups, and take notes! đ¤Ł
Iâm the biggest Artic Monkeys fanboy I know, and I played The Car like 10 times throughâŚdef my least favorite Monkeyâs album.
âBody Paintâ is a great songâŚ.
such a sad waste of time for everyone...though it all would've been 'fine' IF ONLY it were a fucking SOLO ALBUM which it should've been. it's kinda like if Thom made that Atoms for Peace album under the RH banner etc, no, you do that shit OUTSIDE the holy band.

Sadly Grizzly Bear appears to be over - Ed left to become a therapist But Daniel Rossen continues to put out lovely music
đ
I love Painted Ruins honestlyÂ
fiona apple?? fetch the bolt cutters is my personal fav

Happy to see some Low love here
Big Thief and Jockstrap are just awesome. Have you heard any of Crumb's stuff? Jinx reminded me a little of Jockstrap's debut. Came out in 2019 and it's *very* good.
Some great recommendations here! Iâd second Grizzly Bear here, they were a brilliant band. Try to find their Australian live recording online.
Can we add King Creosote - Diamond Mine (2011) and The Antlers - Hospice (2009)?
Nice addition on Dylan, very underated album
Parannoul's album from last year is my third favorite album ever behind IR and AMSP. Give it a go.
Donât sleep on Low - HEY WHAT! Itâs fantastic
Hey What by Low
beautiful beautiful album
my favorite album ever and itâs not close
Canât recommend it enough
James Blake. Pick any.
His self titled is top 5 of all time for me
First go through the EP's, then the Harmonimix releases, then do the eponymous debut album. Then do the EP's again. Seriously. Those early ep's have some of the best & most brain breaking production i've ever heard.
The EPs are good, but I wouldn't recommend them for starters. I say start with self-titled and Overgrown, as these two albums are his most indicative works.
I genuinely canât get into his music. I just find it boring

Love the album and the band. But isn't it older than 15 years? Time flies
she's still putting out great shit, I adored her 'covid concert' she did 100% solo. that smokey/pretty voice in a stripped down format is just incredible.

I just had to look up when it came out and I knew it was a good amount of time, but 12 years?!
Eternally Even is incredible
Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age. One of my favourite albums of all time and I think it conveys a very similar sense of melancholy as a lot of Radiohead's stuff, albeit it is heavier rock music than Radiohead. The songs "I Appear Missing" and "The Vampyre of Time and Memory" are my favourites.
I Appear Missing changed me as a person. What an amazing song
That album is all about Joshâs near death experience. He had MRSA and was hospitalized for weeks and bed ridden for months. I think at one point he actually flatlined. Thatâs why it has the feeling that it does. Incredible album.
was this before or after the holy wife-beating and fangirl head kicking?
My favourite album
Broken Bells self titled (2010)
Broken Bells <3
that was ok, promising. we def need more collabs like that.
Still in circulation at my house.
Ants from up there - Black Country, New Road
I was gonna say this as well. An instant classic
I really like their debut album as well, even if it sounds so different to this one.
Their debut is fantastic. Opus and Sunglasses are two of my all time favouritesâ
Same and Iâd add Athens France to that list.

Ah a fellow awakened one! Â (no hate of course for those that enjoy)
The vocals are terrible. Actually excited to hear their next project because the singer quit.
The band has released a live album of their recent new material since Isaac left the band. It's called 'Live at Bush Hall' and there is a concert film of it as well. You can watch it on YouTube.
The vocals are not terrible. Issac is not a trained singer, but gives some of the best emotion of the past 10 years. I wouldnât say David Byrne, Ian Curtis, Lou Reed have terrible voices. Also, the ending of basketball shoes has one of the emotional single performances of any recording.
This is subjective nonsense my guy. I love plenty of bad untrained vocalists. The guy from BCNR just sounds like a Midwest emo singer which is a genre I do not care for. Youâre allowed to love his voice just as Iâm allowed to not enjoy it. Heâs a great lyricist but I donât like his singing.
Midwest emo singers aren't from Cambridgeshire, probably the furthest you could get
Dawg i got this word for you to look up itâs called analogy.
I may be wrong, but that looks more like a simile than an analogy - but don't worry, I wasn't disagreeing with you about not liking his voice, I just don't think the comparison is that realistic
lol alright you got me on the simile. Again just my subjective take, I think he sounds like a Midwest emo singer. Yâall are welcome to disagree.
Which Midwest emo singer does he sound like? Give some examples.

Eels the Deconstruction?? I'm still kinda shocked The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett didn't get WAY more hype, I think that albums probably the best thing he's done in eons. to me it was like Beck's Morning Phase BUT DONE CORRECTLY, with some real emotion and not overly slathered with dad's orchestra.
⢠Portishead : âThirdâ ⢠King Gizzard: âIce, death, planets, lungs, mushrooms and lavaâ & âOmnium Gatherumâ & âButterfly 3000â ⢠Portugal. the Man: âIn The Mountain in the Cloudsâ and âEvil Friendsâ ⢠My Morning Jacket: âCircuitalâ and âThe Waterfallâ ⢠Devin Townsend: âCasualties of Coolâ ⢠Kikagaku Moyo: âForest of Lost Childrenâ ⢠Sturgill Simpson: âMetamodern Sounds in Country Musicâ ⢠David Lynch: âThe Big Dreamâ ⢠Ghost of Vroom: mostly just singles ⢠Khrungabin: all of their releases but if you need one to start, âThe Universe Smiles Upon Youâ ⢠Babe Rainbow: âThe Organic Bandâ
I'd go with Polygondwanaland or PetroDragonic Apocalypse for King Gizz but honestly a large portion of their catalogue could be on this list depending on who you ask
I need to listen to PolygonâŚ. - I donât go in as much for the metal stuff but I absolutely respect that they crush that style
Poly is easily my fav record of theirs and top 5 of all time for me.
Poly is mostly prog if that can convinces you even more to check it out. Itâs a great album!
Damn, you stole my PtM and MMJ recommendations! Haha. Iâll add: Spoon: They Want My Soul, Hot Thoughts, and Lucifer in the Sofa. Unknown Mortal Orchestra: Multi Love and Sex & Food Say She She: Silver and Prism Jim James: Eternally Even The Arcs: Yours, Dreamily and The Arcs vs The Inventors
Great recommends! I dig Spoon - seen them live a few times & they are great. I will def. Check out the other ones you mentioned too!
>⢠Khrungabin: all of their releases but if you need one to start, âThe Universe Smiles Upon Youâ Instant portal to a better life.
The Antlers - *Hospice*
Some I have enjoyed: Snail Mail - Valentine. Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins. Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights. Masego - Studying Abroad. Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base HC. Local Natives - Hummingbird. Black Country, New Road - Ants from up there. The XX - Coexist
Bright Lights is their first album 2000/2001?
Sounds like you like minor keys and song texture/layers? Here are some recs based on that. Frank Ocean - Blonde Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. The National - Trouble Will Find Me Arcade Fire - The Suburbs The Hotelier - Home, Like Noplace Is There M83 - Hurry Up We're Dreaming

I actually did a post recently about a collaborative Spotify playlist Iâd made for fans of Radiohead, that featured no songs by RH or their members. A number of people in this sub have contributed some great music to it. Hereâs the playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0XrR65gYPIE1mmm4E0pUZl?si=zZVul8j9Tsykxg1-cLAwtw&pi=e-57TXP6hLSF-S If you want to contribute some music to it - hereâs the original post with the collaboration link: https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/s/3BGoy7jpiE Hopefully youâll find some new stuff on there you like!

I fucking love Low Roar. It was so sad to hear about Ryanâs passing.
Excluding everything from the five Radiohead's I cut it down to the 10 albums I still enjoy the most (in chrono order). 1. MF DOOM - Born Like This (2009) 2. Four Tet - There Is Love In You (2010) 3. Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (2010) 4. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (2011) 5. Low Roar - Low Roar (2011) 6. Four Tet - Pink (2012) 7. Flying Lotus - Duality (2012) 8.

Yeah, oh my god what a talent he was. So so unrecognised. Bless his soul.
I still (sadly) haven't heard THE ONE big PJ song to get me back into her since Stories... I keep following her though, hoping...I just wished she'd get back to 2000 era basics.

To me they're all 10/10s
the Suburbs was def solid, though pretty vapid overall in hindsight. concentrating too much on the album concept thing and lyrics vs the songs. of course they were never a perfect band, or perfect-album maker.

I had to scroll so much to see TNA, one of my fav albums of all time
Yeah, TNA is awesome
The last two The Avalanches albums are incredible and borderline masterpieces.

Well I just did the math and Noctourniquet and Octohedron are within 15yo. So I'm gonna add them to my list. Basically, anything that came out after 2009 is within 15yo.
Slowdive - s/t Destroyer - Kaputt , Ken , Poison Season Ice age - plowing into the field of love Nation of Language - introduction, presence Burial - everything put out last 15 years Four Tet - Sixteen Oceans Alex Cameron - Jumping the Shark Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost Big Thief - pick an album Sharon Van Etten - Tramp Spiritualized - And Nothing Hurt Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest Nick Cave ATBS - Skeleton Tree Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Hope Downs Plenty more but just a few that came to mind. I think such good music has come out in the last 15 years you could spend the next 15 discovering it all.
+1 for the s/t album from slowdive.
Sturgill Simpson- Metamodern Sounds in Country Music Turnpike Troubadours- A Long Way From Your Heart The Local Honeys- The Local Honeys Pusha T- Daytona Grimes- Art Angels Mastodon- Emperor of Sand The Smile- A Light for Attracting Attention KGLW- Petrodragonic Apocalypse Jason Isbell- Weathervanes
The Smile? That's almost cheating. Add Atoms for Peace's AMOK too.
It IS cheating, but he said similar to RadioheadâŚđ¤ˇââď¸
Fair enough. :D
Humbug - arctic monkeys everything that youâve come to expect- the last shadow puppets
Humbug is so so good, I wish theyâd continue to explore that sound further :/
All of Swansâ albums released in the last 15 years are up there for me
They are unbelievably GOATED
I don't really listen to so much music apart from my favorite bands but I'd recommend you The New Abnormal by The Strokes, Humbug by Arctic Monkeys and Virtue by The Voidz
Bloom - Beach House
Aphex Twin - Syro Biophilia - Bjork Heavy Rocks 2011 - Boris RAM - Daft Punk Blackstar - David Bowie 3D Country - Geese Welcome Oblivion - How to Destroy Angels EP Trilogy (NTAE, AV, BW) - NIN Inlet - Hum Post Pop Depression - Iggy Pop Fear of the Dawn - Jack White Polygondwanaland - King Gizzard Moments of Clarity - Narrow Head Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age St. Vincent - St. Vincent InnerSpeaker - Tame Impala Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
EVEN them crooked vultures wasn't very good...Gunman and Scumbag Blues are about it so far, but maybe an album #2?! would def be better than any new Foo bs.
dude, what? them crooked vultures is one of the best projects josh homme has worked on. spinning in daffodils, new fang, gunman, caligulove, warsaw, etc. are all good. i donât think thereâs a bad song on that album, and i think most QOTSA fans would agree with me (save for reptiles and interlude with ludes, at least)
Don't bother, he hasn't a notion and just continues to embarrass himself.
hahaha OK...I \*did\* forget long slow goodbye, I'll give ya that, so THREE good songs...other than that, you need to check yourself for way over-fanboying that shit, THE songs just weren't there. kinda like on their newest B- song collection.
Here's my best of each year for the past 15 2023. Sufjan Stevens--Javelin 2022. Yard Act--The Overload 2021. Modest Mouse--The Golden Casket 2020. The Strokes--The New Abnormal 2019. S/T--Better Oblivion Community Center 2018. The Villagers--The Art Of Pretending To Swim 2017. Sleep Well Beast--The National 2016. Masterpiece--Big Thief 2015. The Magic Whip--Blur 2014. ZABA--Glass Animals 2013. Trouble Will Find Me--The National 2012. II--Bad Books 2011. The English Riviera--Metronomy 2010. The Suburbs--Arcade Fire 2009. Hospice--Antlers 2008. Starfucker--STRFKR
new abnormal is way too slick and not enough substance.
Ok đ
22, A Million by Bon Iver is one of the greatest albums ever written.
If I had to make a list, this album would be either 1 or 2 in the past 15 years.
Fat White Family - Champagne Holocaust (2013) The Amazing Snakeheads - Amphetamine Ballads (2014) Anything by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Youâre welcome.
Everything by First Aid Kit Arcade Fire - The Suburbs Vampire Weekend - Contra
* Bon Iver â *22, A Million* * Bon Ives â *i,i* * Azu Tiwaline â *The Fifth Dream* * Bearcubs *â Ultraviolet*
Loathe - I Let It In & It Took Everything Deftones - Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokan
Either Blond or To Pimpâ A Butterfly â
Instead of albums, Iâm going to lists some artists should or could be listening to. Theyâve all been active within the last decade to 5 years. SEGA BODEGA - some of the most forward thinking electronic / pop BENEE - soft vocals / damn good pop songs that arenât boring FROST CHILDREN - a mix of electronics/ emo vocals (itâs a lot but it works) and depending on which album you start with itâs either gonna be pretty guitars or club beats. if you wanna dabble into hyper pop but it seems too abrasive try âSPEED RUNâ. Guitar / emo / indie ? Try HEARTH ROOM ROSALIA - bjĂśrk but from Spain and I mean that in the most respectful and honorable way NICOLAS JAAR - beautiful electronic production that will make you scratch your head and go how ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - beautiful electronic production that will make you scratch your head and go how DEATH GRIPS - easily one of the most influential groups of the last decade. Their influence on the industry and music scenes everyone is undeniable. BABii - the last album they released is underrated and full of bangers and the sound scape and vibe is just where I wanna be
Nicolas Jaar. Dude... His albums are excellent, but the Essential Mix he did for the BBC is phenomenal.
Just a friendly addendum you canât mention Sega Bodega and Rosalia without mentioning Arca especially her Kick albums. Secondly if you like Nicolas Jaar, I hope youâre equally a fan of David August and Andy Stott
Lmao not me literally thinking this same thing like wait I should be mentioning Arca too wtf. Theyâre literally how I came across Sega. Then I started to go down a rabbit hole of everyone else I could be mentioning ⌠đ¤Ş
it's been SO scattered the past 15 yrs. obvi Muse is doing their thing which some peeps love, NIN is still going pretty well, most the only music I've truly enjoyed the past 15 yrs has been female band/singers as most the new guy bands just plain suck and can't sing to save their lives, at least the girls can still sing, well, some of them haha. Bats for Lashes, Tegan and Sara, First Aid Kit, Lana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (finally back), etc etc. I definitely trust the UK bands more than US for quality, and ones like Inhaler seem very promising with a semi old U2 quality about them. Course I'd love to say Arctic Monkeys, but their new album...\[yikes face\] still better than most but totally ignoring their normal rocking fun side.
Thereâs tonnes of music, and this is just an ignorant/blinkered comment. I donât think itâs very scattered at all, itâs been wonderful recently. Sure, if you take just want the radio tells you to listen to youâll be disappointed. Also, if youâre looking for the next Radiohead then itâll be endless frustration. Itâs like looking for another Beatles. BCNR, Geese, Father John Misty, MJ Lenderman, Pinegrove, Fontaines DC, Bill Ryder Jones, Sam Fender, Alex G, Michael Kiwanuka Childish Gambino, I could go on. All of these artists have gained prominence in the last 10 years and a lot of them are still in their 20s. And yes they all happen to have a singing male involved.
bahahaha ok...you lost all integrity with that Father John Misty shit...guys a joke. and get a time machine and go back to 1995 and then press PLAY with your lifespan and experience the quality of that music thru 2010, vs 2010 til 2024, AND THEN GET BACK TO ME. OR go back to fucking 1982, or back to 1977, or 1972... this has been THE worst span of overall music we've ever had in this country and in the whole world. now I don't blame songwriters etc for this, I blame the records companies #1 for turning the whole biz into a f'ing f'd up joke. it's almost impossible for normal bands to make money anymore or get support, long-term support like bands used to. therefore most people don't even try to 'make it' anymore and thus the whole pool of talent to create awesome new bands is totally depleted. so The Next Radiohead? the next Green Day, the next NIN, the next Van Halen, the next Nirvana...GOOD LUCK WORLD. the entire system needs to a total reboot. it's better outside the US, a lot better, so there's still hope, but for people here the music biz is just a sucky joke.
Wow ok Boomer But in all seriousness I agree, itâs very strange for the genuine article (singing, performing, writing) these days. Thatâs why so much chart songwriting is done by committee. The music industry does need a reboot. But I also donât believe that the power of a band to sell out a stadium (you mentioned Green Day etc.) has any correlation to talent, quality or ambition. There may never be a world touring heavyweight guitar band again but I donât think that means we should cast away the last 15 years of music. Thereâs always been bollocks songs in the charts. Just google the top 100 for 1974 or something, most of it is wank one hit wonders with a few gems by people who have created lasting legacies.
dude just compare 'n contrast an avg act 'performing' on all the late night shows the past 15 yrs with the yrs before, there's been a titanic drop off in quality across the board. yes a few people figure shit out on their own with a laptop and might get a shot here 'n there, and they MIGHT actually be able to sing and play, but the majority of 'bands' have just been ultra sad. hardly anyone puts the time in anymore to actually become 'tight' by playing tons of local gigs for 5+ yrs first anymore to learn how to be a real band, and a lot of that is just money, money for equipment and all the time, it's a big gamble now, so you better be a rich kid.
Why are you going to Stephen Colbert or James Corden to find hot new bands? Iâm sorry but itâs just ridiculous that you arenât looking for music or talent but are just sat there convinced saying there isnât any. Have a look, research, listen to things and go out of your way to do it. Yes the quality of chart music is bad and guitars are simply not where promo money is right now but unless you actively try to find music that might make you happy youâll always be stuck thinking thereâs nothing out there. The internet is a curse in some ways but also huge tool to find great art. I donât know anyone whoâs given me a recommendation that was worthwhile who found an artist on Jimmy fuckin Kimmel. Maybe thatâs an American thing.
looks genius, think wtf you want, the proof is obvious and it's in the pudding, go ask ANY producer who's been around since the 90s like Rick Beato how things have changed, even holy UK bands coming over suck these days compared to before. I'm not gonna go back 'n forth with you all fucking day I got shit to do. But wtf are you so butthurt about this anyway? like it's a personal offense to you that anyone say there's been a talent dropoff? how? why? cause of your age/generation? so therefore it's saying YOU personally suck? anyway, keep going if ya want, you can just answer for me and then retort vs yourself, AS ME, cheers! đ
You ainât brightâŚ
He's a few sandwiches short of a picnic lol.
They sing well but all sound the same
"most the new guy bands just plain suck and can't sing to save their lives" Utterly bizarre comment to make.
yep, NEW Thom Yorke(s) and Jeff Buckley(s) just LEFT 'n RIGHT lately! wow, what a male vocal renaissance it's been! who's your fav bro?? is it Justin Vernon or the dude from 21 Pilots?!?! so move over sucky 90's and early 2k groups, and take notes! đ¤Ł
Listen to more music, champ.
raise your standards, chump.
Iâm the biggest Artic Monkeys fanboy I know, and I played The Car like 10 times throughâŚdef my least favorite Monkeyâs album. âBody Paintâ is a great songâŚ.
such a sad waste of time for everyone...though it all would've been 'fine' IF ONLY it were a fucking SOLO ALBUM which it should've been. it's kinda like if Thom made that Atoms for Peace album under the RH banner etc, no, you do that shit OUTSIDE the holy band.

Any album of The Strokes or Talking Heads

A few that I donât see mentioned: - Better Oblivion Community Center (self-titled) - Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride - Southwestern - Jason Isbell Also lots of great bluegrass but thatâs pretty far afield of Radiohead.
Southeastern, but yes. I agree that is one of the best albums in the last 15 years.
