      I just discovered a band called Bombay Bicycle Club.  Holy crap, brilliant musicianship, at least on the one I bought, So Long, See You Tomorrow.  One of the reviewers on Amazon commented that when he listened for the first time, the experience was akin to the first time he heard Sgt. Pepper's... .  Not that it's as good as that album, but just the revelation of a completely new aesthetic, a new approach to production and songwriting.  I can't get enough of it.

        I forgot about a band, Steel panther, anything by these guys is CLASSIC

            This one came up on my playlist a couple of days ago, a forgotten favorite:

             

            Will Smith - I'm Comin' - YouTube

            Joann Y


              Alabama Shakes - Hold On

               

              Been listening to them for a little while now. Saw there is a nice NYT Magazine article on them last week. Good stuff.

                Joann, Just heard of them recently.        Not exactly similar, but reminded me of an older song about a quarter-century old now:

                    That opening riff from Hold On reminds me of some old country song and it's driving me nuts that I can't figure it out. Something like Kenny Rogers, Alabama, George Jones. Oof, I don't know. Not Indigo Girls though Smile

                      Awesome song. They have other great stuff. Her voice is very Janis Joplin-esque. Love it.

                            Oh my gosh this is so good. Swans.. Lunacy. The whole album is epic. Planning on pummeling myself with it on my long run tomorrow. It's a must listen for anyone into noise, metal, drone type stuff. Mogwai-ish.
