There's lots of stuff that I like or have liked that never seems to come up in discussion here or I've never found an oppurtunity to discuss. I don't listen to him much anymore but I used to be a huge Robert Earl Keen fan. His latest stuff has been terrible, but teh Live Album, Dinner Live #2, and A Bigger Piece of the Sky were standards in my life for a long time. What about you?

Most jazz.

Yeah, my friends who used to live in TX are big on this dude.

I used to have a bunch of his stuff on my ipod. Good for beer drinkin, to be sure.

I'd say most of the rap I really like doesn't get much run around here, unless its me chiding shiv and cotton for not knowing shit about REAL STREET SHIT.

I'm sure they've been mentioned once or twice, but I never saw much love for Mazarin who I think put out a much better record than the bands they opened for, but as one poster noted, "Mazarin? Whoever the hell they are!"

When I got to LSU, he was pretty much the soundtrack to drinking for freshman. But Dreadful Selfish Crime is pretty untouchable in my opinion.

DumpJack · **Posted:** Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:54 pm

Outside of a few instances, a couple of my favourite bands don't get mentioned much or at all, notably Concrete Blonde, The Forgotten Rebels and The Tragically Hip.

Do we really talk about genres other than Rock very often? I can't recall a lot of Funk threads, Folk threads, Country threads, World Music threads, etc either.

If you want to talk about jazz start a thread. I probably listen to as much jazz as any other genre these days.

Please don't encourage Todd to talk about more bands we don't listen to or care about :wink:

I've been listening to a lot of jazz lately, as well. I'll start a jazz thread. I'd love to get some recommendations of musicians i'd most likely overlook (but shouldn't)

We don't talk about Grifters nearly enough for me.

This is another 90s band that I recently heard for the first time and really liked. Don't think I've ever seen them mentioned here.

Just about everything recorded before 1992 by people other than The Beatles, Beach Boys, or Rolling Stones.

Yeah, I've seen it mentioned here a couple of times in the past...

...but lately it is one of the main things I listen to.

In terms of indie bands... I'm surprized no one has professed love for the Duke Spirit. But maybe it hasn't been that long since it's been out in the US (?)

they're opening for ted leo on his next tour. knowing that there are plenty of ted leo fanatics on this board (like myself), i'm sure there'll be some mentions of them in the coming months. i've had "lion rip" (or something like that) on my computer since, like, april. it's okay, but i'm waiting to see what they're like live.

I have Walking Distance around here somewhere, and I love it, but I've never felt too inclined to venture further with REK.

I have 2 of their albums.

Also, Archers Of Loaf rule.
