Mr Owl PhD Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'd go for Alien Lanes as my favourite GBV album, although Bee Thousand is close. I like some of the later albums an awful lot too e.g. Isolation Drills and Earthquake Glue. There aren't any bad albums so you can't go too far wrong.

Soda Jerk Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Guided By Voices – Isolation DrillsThis is the first one I heard, and I still think this is the most accessible. Sounds slick, and catchy as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Archers Of Loaf – Icky Mettle (Deluxe Edition)This album won an award for best record ever made. Or it should have done. I don't think such an award exists. It would probably be a pointless award, as this would win it every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Tremendous band. I'll chuck this in:Hot Snakes – Suicide InvoiceHow to write instantly accessible, punk-y, garage-y, hardcore-y, poppy songs. Every song is a winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Big like. Froburg and Reis are a great partnership. Love Drive Like Jehu too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidm Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes! They are absolutely fantastic. And then of course there's Rocket on the Crypt too. I might ask John Reis to marry me.Roll the Dice – In DustThis album is the perfect soundtrack to winter, in my opinion. It's eerie, dark, slow-building and quite haunting, but still very beautiful to listen to. Maybe my idea of winter is different to yours.

One of the very best albums I've heard all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Owl PhD Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Ah, didn't see it! Anything else you could recommend along similar lines to it?Actually I think I may have 'imagined' posting on this album, although I think I meant to. Their first album is good, although I like 'In Dust' better.Another favourite album of the year by a Swedish act is 'Revelationes' by Tape. A bit less brooding than Roll the Dice but very beautiful. I'll maybe post a link later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 These days, I only listening to bands called Burning Airlines. I only know of one, and you told me there was more, I wouldn't listen to them.Burning Airlines – Mission: Control!Listen to this. If you don't like it, then just listen to the song Pacific 231. If that song doesn't kick your head off, then you're a witch.The whole album is fucking belting though. It's J.Robbins from Jawbox, who were all kinds of good. I bought this record years ago and I didn't like it. This song came on my iPod on random a few weeks ago, and I jigged all the way home like Christopher Walken in that Fatboyslim video. Then the whole album just clicked. Listen to it. It will up your punx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 People, please recommend me some hooky-as-fuck US-style indie rock/pop to get me through today's data inputting. Like The Wrens/SSLYBYeltsin/Superchunk. People crying over spilt milk and that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I can't get on Spotify at work to link, but for that sort of first world problems indie rock, I dig Failure's Union. The LP 'In What Way' is on there, and is great. The guy has got a marvelous voice. Very unique. The Fall man is just the most rockingest song.The first Archers of Loaf record is bitchin' as hell too, if you're not already on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 They really do rock it. They don't get the attention they deserve. It's all about his voice. What a pair of lungs he's got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
