yeah man! he stood up on the piano and conducted the audience in the ahhhhhhhhhh-AHHHHHHHHHH part.

i'm sure he did it when you saw him too, but i gotta mention him dividing the audience into "trumpets" and "saxophones" during army. my side was the saxophones.. we kinda sucked.

then he proceeded to play some of his new ringtones for us.. forget them all but one was final countdown.. haha.

and of course bitches ain't shit was a highlight..

damnit, i'm making me want to see him again..

Gotta love Ben Folds...there would definitely be no bands like Keane, Aqualung, or The Fray (neither of which I like very much except for some Keane) if it weren't for Ben Folds.

john mayer's newest album, continuum, is actually really goddamned good.

he got away from the acoustic pop-ish sound and replaced it with a great blues sound. check out "slow dancing in a burning room", "gravity", and "i don't trust myself".

since it's 3:30 and i can't sleep, i'm gonna make a list.

widespread panic - little lilly
widespread panic - this part of town
pixies - where is my mind
pixies - monkey gone to heaven
pixies - here comes your man
pavement - range life
pavement - summer babe
pavement - shady lane
oysterhead - army's on ecstacy
northe mississippi allstars - snake drive
jane's addiction - jane says
incubus - aqueous transmission
galactic - all behind you now
galactic - baker's dozen
beck - beercan
beck - que onda guero
the shins - new slang
stephen malkmus - do not feed the oyster
pinback - b
pinback - penelope
311 - hydroponic

eh, that's a lot. tried to keep the picks fairly mainstream. only one that might be obscure would be galactic.. they're a badass funk band from new orleans.

blue oyster cult
edgar winter group
kansas
yes
pink floyd
metallica
styx
reo speedwagon
zepplin
van halen
fleetwood mac
ac/dc
beatles
ronnie james dio
iron maiden
poison
motley crue
cinderella
neil sedaka
tom jones
the carpenters
queen
kiss
peter frampton
genesis
peter gabriel
the rolling stones
godsmack
earth, wind and fire
the supremes
neil diamond
molly hatchett

and the list goes on, hope I helped

by heart ... band from sweden, sounds slightly like U2 mixed with indie rock... byheart.nu

their whole album is pretty good, it's called "Exit Signs."

Originally posted by mezzir yupppp i think that goes for pretty much everyone i saw them last year when they were touring for their newest CD and every time they played an older song (fa fa, barrel of a gun, center of attention) the crowd went NUTS and not so much for the newer ones :/

Center of Attention is great. I've seen them twice now and I still haven't heard Two Points for Honesty

lol fail, iirc they played it when i saw them

lol fuck and there were a few songs...augh
either way and....barrel of a gun mbbe? both off of lost and gone forever
anyways, i listened to those ALLLLL the time and i learned the harmonies that the bassist sings
so at the show i was belting those out and everyone around me was giving weird looks

ooh troooof, jane's addiction
and moreso (in my opinion) porno for pyros
sneaker pimps too (becoming x, later albums sans kelli ali weren't as good :/)

Oooo!

Just thought of Lou Reed's Street Hassle. Classic.

Think this thread has just turned into "What Rock Music Do You Listen To?" But eh, that's okay. Hehe.

+1 to Sneaker Pimps. Was thinking of mentioning 6 Underground or Spin Spin Sugar but decided not to for some reason.

So for some more good bands:

White Zombie
The Doors are amazing as someone mentioned.
Tom Petty
Rogue Wave (good indie band that opened for the Shins when I saw them in 2004.. bought their CD for 8 bucks at that show)
Lou Reed's solo career..
Velvet Underground
Jefferson Airplane is always fun.
The Descendents if you like a more punk-ish sound..
Bad Religion
Dave Brubeck Quartet
CSNY
Blues Traveler

...and if you like folk/traditional artists there's:

Bob Dylan
Joan Baez
The Chieftains
The Dubliners (trad. Irish ftw!)
Arlo Guthrie tells a mad story with his songs..

Kay.. I'm having way too much fun with this thread.

big +1, fucking love them
nada surf too
though i really only associate them cause my friend gave me both albums at once
but yeah, they're both awesome

sad to say the only nada surf songs i've heard are popular and their cover of where is my mind by the pixies..

i'll have to check more of their stuff out..

man i've been slowly fading away from the indie scene.. don't know of any new or good older bands cept like... belle & sebastian.. annnd umm yeah.. that's it. would say death cab but they're in the mainstream now (not that that's a bad thing). got anything i should look out for?

Nada Surf - Inside Of Love is a good one

Josh Rouse - Sad Eyes

lol, you saved those?

i hosted one of them for him cos his webspace was down at the time & i never deleted it incase it was needed. The other i'd have to check the url of his dads webspace to see if it's still up but if it is, i could find it

To add another one: Spoon.

I just heard their latest album and think it's exactly what you're looking for.

Spoon - Gimme Fiction
