Post Recommendations Needed - 12-29-2007, 03:52 AM

Hey everyone,

My favourite two bands are Foo Fighters & Linkin Park. Can anyone recommend any similar, lesser known bands?.

Cheers,

Nam

Hey Hirs,

That album was a sleeper because it came out at the beginning of the
year..But this is a come back album of soughts for them.

Glad you liked it ...I still play this one a lot...when I need a shot
of rock n roll.

and a very Happy New Year's To you my friend.

New albums from the last year or so that you might like -

Coheed and Cambria - No world For tomorrow (Touring with Linkin Park this summer)

Angels & Airwaves (Spin-off or blink-182)

Arctic Monkeys (british band....but great)

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81

Brand New - Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me

The Hives - Black And White Album

Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

Olympia - Emergencies

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas


- Thats only the tip of the iceberg but I thought I'd throw my two cents in there. Most of the stuff is catchy and very accesible.

If you want more obscure recommendations just ask and I'd be happy to throw out a whole 'nother list.

Hey Chooch,

Great List....I have to check out some of the ones I don't know
but these are all good rock and roll bands.
I am already big fans of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Hives.

Great. Let me know which ones you end up liking.

My personal Favorite would be Coheed, but some people tend to be turned off by the singer's voice. It sounds kind of like Geddy lee from Rush...but somehow slightly higher. Once you get over the initial shock that the voice actually belongs to a grown man, the songs are some of the catchiest I've ever heard. They write hooks that get stuck in your head for days.
