Close your eyes? (by which I mean it all sounds the same)

Wow, I am impressed I knew 4 of them.

Oceansize breaking up was a tragedy

So many shitty band names...

ah man, The Stills. Never saw them live.


The Stills - 'Animals and Insects'

The Stills - 'Still In Love'
http://youtu.be/KFd8hMjDNVg

forgot my favorite track...

The Stills - 'Gender Bombs'
http://youtu.be/fvweWKhVM7A

(lyrics)
"Brains, on a brick wall, when gender bombs would fall
The sorted way allotted phrases infiltrate your skull

Images are strong, impulses are strong
And logic will break your heart forever, be brave

Massive suicide dreams
The fear of war and love

The girl will scold you
The girl will...


The carcass bleeding gaming for self ten loves in a row
The drunken Sunday evening's would just be in your way, no

Massive Suicide dreams
The fear of war and love

The girl will scold you... [8x]"

I knew of

Double Dagger ... punky band from baltimore

LCD Soundsystem ... guy who runs DFA but LCD was bigger than his own label somehow.

REM ... duh

The White Stripes ... duh

Ludicra ... metal band from east bay that had a wicked female vocalist

The Stills ... fuck em

Ponytail ... some weirdo mathy band from baltimore that probably should not have had a vocalist at all.

and Sonic Youth. Had no idea Sonic Youth threw in the towel but knew that Thurston and Kim are getting divorced which is sad in and of itself.


All I know is that I did not see Lou Reed or Metallica on the list ... leaves me disappointed.

I recognised a handful of them. One band I did notice was "The Music", (NOT the most inventive group name).....but anyhoooo, they were a 2004 one-hit-wonder band from Leeds here in England & to be fair to them, it was an awesome track.

Freedom Fighters - (The Music)

Haven't logged in in years, but came to second The Music.

Don't let the one-hit wonder label fool you; they tear it up across all three albums they put out.

Can't recommend them enough; and sadly, I made an audible whimper when their name came up in the video.

If you like alternative/progressive rock, do yourself a favour and check out Oceansize. My favourite track from their latest/final album:
