    RSR Music Thread

    Just figured I'd start this thread in case some folks don't know that the M&T thread has basically morphed into a music thread.

    I listen to everything, so I am always interested in checking out new stuff.

    Don't know if you guys have ever heard of the band called The Heavy, but they're pretty solid. I like them a lot. Their album strikes me as one that would be good for driving around on a rainy day. Kind of funky, kind of bluesy with a tinge of pop, hip-hop, and soul.

    Oh, and anyone that is a fan of Fall Out Boy, their new album is really good too.

    Been getting into country lately. It's the only genre I've never given much attention.

    Really liking Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, etc.

    I like southern music, but some country is just either too "poppy" for me or too whiny.

    I like Garth Brooks a lot. I like some of the old school guys like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson too.

    Probably the most country I get these days is Cross Canadian Ragweed.

    My taste in music can be summed up quite easily.

    The last concert I went to was the Monkees Reunion tour in November.

    I've gotten really into Metric lately. Canadian indie rock/pop/house band with a wickedly hot lead singer and loads of catchy hooks.

    Also if you're into catchy folk music or rock, check out Great Big Sea. Also Canadian, they're a Newfoundland group who range from straight up sea chanties to modern rock.

    Another odd but very exciting act is Voltaire. He describes himself as a "gothic cabaret" act. His music is eclectic in style, ranging from string heavy operatic numbers, to jazz style covers, to a straight up country western album. But thematically, he is somewhat morbid, but in a funny way. Songs like "Zombie Prostitute", "BRAINS!", and "Dead Girls Like Me" are undeniably creepy, but also quite funny.

    I listen to everything except country. Well I do like Johnny Cash.

    I go through phases. One year I'm big into rap...the next year its rock. Right now I'm into soundtracks (with and without lyrics). 2 Steps From Hell does alot of soundtracks for films and video games. Everyone has heard something by them.

    I really like The Heavy! Can't wait for them to come tour in Germany.

    Other people I'm currently listening to are:
    Janelle Monae
    Esperanza Spalding
    The Silent Comedy
    Imagine Dragons
    Master of 'Gifs for dummies'

    I'm of the opinion that The Black Keys are the best rock band in the world right now, and honestly, of the last decade. Anything Dan Auerbach touches he can turn to gold. His solo album is also phenomenal.

    Metric is really good. Big fan of theirs.

    I saw them at Bonnaroo two years ago when Brothers was getting pretty big. You can't touch Black Keys tickets for under $75 around DC nowadays. Great show. That was a lot of fun. I don't particularly care for El Camino though. It's ok. IMO, nowhere near as good as Brothers.

    I agree.

    A few friends of mine had a chance to see them at lollapalooza and we're blown away.

    I'm a huge Drive By Truckers and Jason Isbell fan too.

    They are more southern rock than country, but they do have country elements.
