..Trail Of Dead - Source Tags & Codes

 

The Dictators - D.F.F.D.
Los Olvidados - Listen To This
Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball
Bruce Springsteen - High Hopes
AC/DC - Rock Or Bust (or maybe Black Ice)

not sure what I'm possibly forgetting...

 

All You Need Is Now

I guess artist names are too much too ask.

Here are five that immediately come to mind:

The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Agnes Obel - Philharmonics
J Dilla - Donuts
Gas - Pop
Phosphorescent - Aw Come Aw Wry

 

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Strokes - Is This It
Arcade Fire - Funeral

 

That's a lot of years for just 5 picks ... these are some of my big favorites that I've had on the turntable in the last coupla days, got it down to 7 ...

Richmond Fontaine - Post To Wire
The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus - Beauty Will Save the World
Nina Nastasia - The Blackened Air
Songs:Ohia - Didn't It Rain
Life Without Buildings - Any Other City
Notwist - Neon Golden

Then of course there's that one in my signature, and ... oh, and Caribou Up In Flames on right now, that could definitely be one of them too ...

 

Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE (2004)
Jeff Lynne - Long Wave (2012)
Paul McCartney - Kisses on the Bottom (2012)

Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin (2010)

 

In Rainbows - Radiohead
You & Me - The Walkmen
Heartbreaker- Ryan Adams
Sky Blue Sky - Wilco
Alligator - The National

 

It's difficult to distill 17 years of music into five choices, but these five albums would be amongst my all time favorites:

The Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic
The Dears - No Cities Left
Marina & The Diamonds - The Family Jewels
The Like - Release Me
The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes

 

Lost Souls-DOVES(could easily pick 'The Last Broadcast')
Origin of Symmetry-MUSE('Absolution' is not far behind)
The Seldom Seen Kid-Elbow
Halcyon Digest-Deerhunter
Night Thoughts-Suede

Still spending time with 'A Moon Shaped Pool', as it has potential to if not make my Top 5, then Top 10 since 2000.
Wanted to include 'Fear of a Blank Planet' by Porcupine Tree, 'Z' by My Morning Jacket, 'Heathen' by Bowie and 'ST' by Franz Ferdinand, but would then need this to be a Top 10 List.
