Estranged Reality Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Of course, of course! I meant Iggy's solo work. The only solo album I haven't heard yet that I always am told is pretty good is Zombie Birdhouse. But yeah, I agree that the rest of his solo albums aren't as great as these two. New Values is pretty good, and Brick By Brick is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer it to Lust For Life which I'm not particularly fond of. Kill City is just great Stonesy rock and I think some of the tracks were performed by The Stooges on their last tour...

If you'd post some bands that you like it might be easier to recommend something that you actually might enjoy i like radiohead, classic rock like floyd, doors, aerosmith, zeppelin, stones. tom petty, neil young, him, nirvana, gnr, keane, gorillaz, janes addiction, ccrs. a lot of other stuff, but these are jut some favorites.i'll check out that fleet foxes album.does anyone here like jeff buckley? i'm debating buying grace. i've liked some songs on youtube and the samples on itunes sound good.

Lithium Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Perhaps Band of Horses' Cease to Begin might be up your alley? And you should definitely invest your money in Grace. One of the finest albums of the '90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the finest albums of the '90s.alright i'll check both of those bands out. yeah, grace is only $8 on the itunes store, not a big chunk of change. sounds like a great album from the samples.

Shuffle Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) You should check out:The Hold Steady - Boys And Girls In America: classic rock guitars, storytelling lyrics, a mix of Thin Lizzy, Springsteen, The Replacements and a bunch of other bands Okkervil River - The Stage Names is probably the best place to start, musically they're a mix of folk rock/country rock/pop-rock/rock/etc with great lyrics. Black Sheep Boy is better but not as accessible.My Morning Jacket - Okonokos: they sound a bit like Band Of Horses but far better imo, a bit of Neil Young influence too. Okonokos is a live album and have a more rocking sound than their studio albums......and definitely The Replacements - just because they're awesome. Start with Let It Be.edit: You could easily pick up The Stand Ins by Okkervil River instead of The Stage Names, they sound pretty much the same and The Stand Ins has a better flow imo...

I'd say The Hold Steady would be a great place to start for a rock fan, because they definitely have that Springsteen-style sound to them.

The only problem is that people might find Craig Finn's (the singer) voice annoying, I did at first and it took me a couple of listens to get past that.

Was there a B-side on it?I'm not sure to be honest, it's listed as a digital single on Wikipedia so probably not. I only remember it being a single because my friend who liked their first album a lot said he wasn't a fan of the new single, which turned out to be that song. I really liked it, though.

Lithium Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah, the music video was kinda silly. Cute girl, though. I really like it too, it's my second favourite song off of that album, after "Ode to LRC". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
