OT - Recommend Some Music

[NoflopsHomer]

I pretty much always listen to my iPod when I'm playing online, so I thought we could have a thread to recommend bands/songs to each other.

The rules are 10 songs all by different artists/bands.

Mine are:

Son of Sam - Elliot Smith
Make It Rain - Tom Waits
The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Party's Crashing Us Now - Of Montreal
Side 2 - Dressy Bessy
Emily Kane - Art Brut
Shake It For Me - Howlin' Wolf
Alan is a Cowboy Killer - McLusky
Run For Your Life - Robert Randolph and the Family Band
So Says I - The Shins

[Bongo]

I'm going to base this 100% on stats of what i've listened to over the last year, so here's the top 10 songs by different artists:

MC Lars - Mr. Raven
Rilo Kiley - It's a Hit
Buck 65 - Wicked and Weird
piney gir - Boston
NOFX - Idiots Are Taking Over
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Bright Eyes - Laura Laurent
Ben Folds Five - Underground
Alkaline Trio - Queen of Pain
Sublime - Waiting for My Ruca

Rilo Kiley? Damn, now I want to change my list, I'd completely forgot about them.

[ACE2M]

Wow. how uncool am i... i've only heard of a couple of them.

Don't worry, I've only chosen bands I thought most people wouldn't have heard of, otherwise my list would be full of Talking heads, Beach Boys... Let's see your list!

[Bongo]

Rilo Kiley? Damn, now I want to change my list, I'd completely forgot about them.

I'd be like that if I thought about my list...

Well actually I'd just spend hours trying to narrow the list down and never actually succeed.

Stick me on the un-cool list, I've no idea who that lot are  

Last CD I bought was the Kaiser Chiefs album.  Very good indeed.  I don't iPod, although the wife does.
