Have you tried The killers Day and Age album? I'm going to assume you haven't because if you did you would've only had Mr Brightside as the only non day and age song and the rest WOULD be Day and Age songs.

Try "Spaceman", "Human", "neon tiger", and ...just the whole damn album. I love it.

Just pulling out random artists:
Against me! "thrash unreal"
Arctic Monkeys "when the sun goes down" "Mardy bum"
Chevelle "Red"
Chris Cornell... Anything from his solo career or back when he was in soundgarden. w/e.
Foo fighters "Everlong" Pretty obvious band
Franz Ferdinand "Take me out" "The dark of the Matinee" lololol
Immortal Technique "Obnoxious" "Dance with the devil" For all you rapping anti government types.
Jacks mannequin "Caves" "Blood shot" i think you need to be 16/heart broken to enjoy this band. Still good.
Jimmy Eat World "Pain" "Kill" "the world you love" Love his voice.
Motion city soundtrack "Everything is alright" Catchy song.
The Rasmus "Liquid" "sail away" "funeral song" Awesome voice, sadly so far those are the only songs they made that are good. I haven't checked for new albums in like 2 years though.

Got like 4-5 more but ill save em for later i guess.
INB4 Ex says "Brandnew, Envy, and brighteyes"

People have so many bands they want to name or list that they forget other bands, I'm sure.

Stratovarius "Stratosphere" "Stratofortress" are two instrumental metal, which is awesome.

A classic from 1995, one of the best years for music.

Here's a genre not many people have heard of: Shoegazing. Alternative rock that uses a lot of distortion. Don't knock it until you try it:

My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow
My Bloody Valentine - When You Sleep
Mellonta Tauta - Dawn

Hardstep is the name of that genre. Its a sub-genre of Drum and Bass, which stems from Jungle. All, are a genre of Electronic Dance Music..I could post more if you'd like..

What about non-instrumentals? ;o Phoenix, Speed of Light, Tomorrow, etc.

I love Day & Age, I was just playing to a wider audience -- most people don't like it as far as I know.

I have also (in the past) listened to everything else you suggested... most of the songs are good.


I'm not overly fond, but some of their material is good.


Awesome.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that statement: Sheep - Pink Floyd

The lack of good music here is disturbing.

I also think the topic is pointless due to how music varies and musical taste with it. Example being I think things like Pink Floyd and Muse are some of the worst shit I've ever heard. Yet they're up on top of your list, so I really can't see how this topic has much of a point or purpose.

Brand New, Envy, and especially Bright Eyes deserve more mention than any band I've seen thus far. Inafter Madzombie ignores some of the best music currently being made.

I hope you didn't take it as "BRANDNEW ENVY AND BRIGHT EYES SUUUCK." I was saying that I knew you were going to say them. they are one of my favorite bands. I was actually looking forward to your suggestions since i asked you about it before but I never got around to reminding you about it. post sum nao?

All right, I've been meaning to do this for MadZombie, and as pointless as I think this topic is, lets give it a whirl:

God Tier:
Circa Survive (Act Appalled, In The Morning and Amazing, Kicking Your Crosses Down) ((Anything Anthony Green touches turns to gold.))
Glassjaw (Trailer Park Jesus, Cosmopolitan Bloodloss, The Number No Good Things Can Come Of) ((Trailer Park Jesus is the source of my signature.))
Lydia (I Woke Up Near The Sea, December, Now The One You Once Loved Is Leaving) ((Male + Female vocal blending = <3 ))

High Tier:
Brand New (Degausser, You Wont Know, Limousine) ((New album due out soon.))
Envy On The Coast (Green Eyes Don't Lie, Vultures, Tell Them That She's Not Scared) ((Wish I had more room in God Tier for them.))
Bright Eyes (Four Winds, Hit The Switch, The Calendar Hung Itself) ((I think everyone who knows this band knows how hard it is to pick 3 songs out of all the material they have, but I tried.))

Mid Tier:
Coheed & Cambria (The Crowing, In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3, Gravemakers and Gunslingers) ((Notice the lack of Welcome Home you hipster losers?))
Arctic Monkeys (Fluorescent Adolescent, Mardy Bum, Brianstorm) ((Newer addition to my library, but awesome.))
Copeland (Pin Your Wings, Brightest, No One Really Wins) ((Wish they'd make some GOOD new material.))

And I won't bother with lower tiers at this time. There you have it, nine bands with three songs each. Get to it.

"Best music" is highly subjective to the perceptions of the individual...

Exactly why I think this topic is dependent on too many assumptions to be useful.

Yeah. RAP AND POP FOR THE WIN! Akon - Put the Blame on Me, Beautiful, So Lonely.

Streetlight Manifesto (and one more)

Four Year Strong

Set Your Goals

All awesome.

EDIT:
Degausser is too long, and that goes double for Limousine. It should read Brand New (Jude Law and a Semester Abroad, Sic Transit Gloria, Jesus Christ)

I forgot BOTAR!

Actually these are three bands I know of to be exceedingly average. =/ Well, at least SYG and 4YS.

Fixed that for you.

There is nothing worthwhile about BN's earlier material in comparison to the newer. I like their older material, but it simply does not compare. I have yet to find any song by anyone 'too long'. =/

If you've seen any video of You Wont Know done live, you know it deserves to be up there more than any other BN song.
