I was actually going to add JMC and Radiohead. I got OK Computer about 3 years ago and up until now I've just started listening to it nonstop. Weird how they work like that. They just . . sneek into your mind or something.

Have you heard the Life Aquatic OST? Bowie in Portuguese is a great thing to hear.

Cool. I love OK Computer aswell.

OK Computer was not an instant like for me though. I was much more drawn to

"The Bends". After I got into OK Computer, Kid A just sort of fit...atleast too me.

They are truly an amazing band.

I have yet to see The Life Aquatic, much to my dismay. I am sure I

would love the movie, and the OST. Bowie is such a great artist, he could

sing jibberish and it would work for me.

The Pillows
Queens of the Stone Age
System of a Down
Primus
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Rush
Mudvayne
Kyuss
Incubus
Foo Fighters
Hed P.E
Alien Ant Farm

more, too lazy to add

my favorite band may be the pillows, but i will always consider (pre-rollins!) black flag the greatest american band of all time.

Are the Roosters good? I've only seen their official site, which hints that they have a similar style to Thee Michelle Gun Elephant (just speculation).

Some of the roosters songs are really catchy. I just got into Thee Michelle Gun Elephant.

Japanese music:

Penpals
Young Punch
Straightener
Ging Nang Boyz
Art-School
Noodles
And, of course, The Pillows.

American (or not-Japanese) music:

Because of the people I happen to have as friends, I tend to separate mainstream (or more well-known) music and indie music in my mind. So I'll do it here for the hell of it.

Nirvana, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, Pearl Jam, Gorillaz, Radiohead, The Clash, The Beatles, The Pixies, Velvet Underground, and The White Stripes.

Lesser-known bands:

Firewater, Grandaddy (check signature for one of their songs), Jawbreaker and Jets to Brazil (which I tend to think of together because they share the same singer), Eels, Mr. Scruff, The Shins, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Faint, The Gadjits, and The Smithereens (awesome pop rock group).

[quote="Kurisu"]I just got into Thee Michelle Gun Elephant.[/quote]

TMGE
Bright Eyes
TSPO
IQU
Modest Mouse
Rilo Kiley
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Ugly Casanova
Smashing Pumpkins
The Shins
