I like to listen to as much music as possible and therefore discuss as much music as possible.
Go on then bob , you know my taste in music now - Oasis, Rolling Stones and Dylan are my top 3 , recommend me some new bands 2005 onwards who I will like and I'll given them a try as admittedly I don't have much time for music now days.
I'll just list some bands I've gotten into over the past few months/years.
DISCLAIMER - you will most likely know some of these:
Ben Howard - He was nominated for the Mercury Prize Award in 2012 following the release of his debut album
Every Kingdom. Style: acoustic, pop, folk.
Queens of the Stone Age - Have just released their new album
...Like Clockwork, their first in a while. Have also released a highly regarded classic called
Songs for the Deaf. Style: garage rock, hard rock.
Tame Impala - Topped several critics lists last year with their second album
Lonerism, have been compared to early Pink Floyd and mid-60s The Beatles. Style: indie rock, psychedelic rock, pop.
Arcade Fire - Have topped critics lists pretty much each year they've released an album. One of the most gloriously consistent bands of the last ten years. Style: indie rock, baroque pop, art rock.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Have just released their second album,
II, and are about to embark on a UK tour. Style: indie rock, psychedelic rock.
My Bloody Valentine - Their second album
Loveless is widely regarded as a seminal release in indie rock music and recently released their first album in over 20 years to widespread critical acclaim. Style: indie rock, shoegaze, dream pop.
Arctic Monkeys - You must know who this lot are, right? I don't think they need too much of an explanation, other than that their first two albums are potential classics. Style: indie rock, pop.
Bon Iver - Two albums released to huge critical acclaim and various accolades. Quite a dreamy sound, have been covered by that fucking Birdy. Style: indie, folk, pop.
Django Django - A band from the UK that received a Mercury Prize nomination last year for their self-titled debut album, and were rewarded with critical acclaim from both sides of the Atlantic. Style: indie pop, rock.
LCD Soundsystem - A short-lived experiment in the end, James Murphy's plaything throughout their existence, their mark has certainly been left with three stunning albums. Style: rock, dance, disco, pop.
Little Racer - They've only released a couple of singles so far, but in their single "Split for the Coast" you can hear early The Beatles and even earlier The Beach Boys. Style: indie pop, rock, jangle pop.
The Drums - I'd say it was only worth listening to their first album, but you make your own mind up. Their first album's first 7 tracks are an absolute breeze and a lot of fun. Style: indie pop, surf pop.
M83 - A French band that have had singles used extensively in the press. Their last album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming was released to wide critical acclaim in 2011. Style: rock, pop, electronic.
Enjoy.
