Martin Sexton: "Gypsy Woman" (acoustic)

Mastodon: "Mother Puncher" (Metal)

One makes you kind of mellow and smiley, the other makes you want to kill. It's good to mix it up a little.

Just what I happin to be feelin' today.

Sigur Ros: Olsen Olsen- sort of a combination of a Cure/Joy Divsion bass/drum line, meticulously constructed string melodies from a Mozart waltz, a beautiful flute solo straight out of a Miyazaki/Hisaishi soundtrack and vocals from an Icelandic Cocteau Twins. Absolutely epic with a very rousing/cinematic finale.

Love: Alone Again Or- a compendium of great California pop circa 1967. It's got the darkness of the Doors without the pretense, an incredible song structure and arrangement that equals the Beach Boys at their peak and some amazing Tijuana-style horn work. It's an incredible song that most people haven't heard.

'Lazyhead and Sleepybones', by They Might Be Giants. Simply the most beautiful song they've ever recorded and I'm convinced that if everyone in the world heard this song and understood it we would have a good chance at achiving world peace.

I don't know what to pick for a second one, maybe 'Djed' by Tortoise so that everyone would have the same WTF moment 14 minutes into the song that I did.

Good call on the Sevendust and Massive Attack.

Definately depends on the mood, but:

1. Failure - Daylight (probably my favorite song ever)

2. Vast - Touched

Some good choices there .. as well as some obscure names. (which I think is the intention of this thread .. to tickle the curiousity of other music fans.)

two bands that I am like a drug pusher in trying to get everyone to listen to them ..

Van Der Graaf - Cat's Eye / Yellow Fever (Running)

The Waterboys - Pan Within

.. but there are so many under-appreciated and lost and defunct bands that I wish I could get other music fans to listen to .. just once would be enough to hook them to the brilliance of some of these guys. (eg, It's Immaterial .. The Associates .. tindersticks )

Exactly, that's why I like these typse of forums so much. I can't begin to count how many great bands I've discovered over the past year from here.

Seeing The Waterboys in concert (in San Francisco two years ago) was such an intensely emotional experience for me. It is one of two concerts only by any band where I've stood with tears in my eyes overcome with emotions brought on by the music.
