The big alphabetised list of music I like to listen to on my unspecified social networking website is looking pretty sparse in the U and V department.
I already have Unearth, Vessels and Vitalic. That's it.
Z is none existent.
Any suggestions of bands I should check out who would fall into said categories?
(I need to put them on my list on the internet so people can look at it and go "wow, he's cool, he listenses to loads of musicses" and then I can feel smug, comforted and satisfied as I will then be a better person than them)
Seriously though, any recommendations?
For u, I only have Underworld
Because u2 are shit.
For V, try Vaux and Volcano! Do 'The' bands count, because then we throw in The Verve too. Vex Red?
My Zs consist only of Zlad, which is some joke song, and Zwan.
Yeah
'The' bands are permitted heh.
Cheers both for the suggestions so far :)
The Verve have never really floated my boat, although in fairness I have only ever listened to Urban Hymns.
Zlad I have been introduced to before. Pretty funny stuff.
How I can not have ever thought to listen to Zwan is beyond me though. Ridiculous oversight.

U's notsa much
Ultravox... had one good song. Urge Overkill I know are a big fav of Steve Albini...not! (Sound like Ash at their worst.) Uncle Tupelo is cool.
V. V is for Violent Femmes. The first Vines album was good methinks. 2nd one is terrible and after that I dunno. 1st Van Halen album = ace; after that complete shite. VU obv.
Y is for Yeah Yeah Yeah's. Yeah!
Z. Zwan I guess. Horribly average.
Oh yeah
I got a few Veruca Salt records I never listen to. They're alright.

Lots to keep me occupied. If anyone thinks of any more, stick them on the end.
Consider this thread bookmarked :D
U - Underoath
V - Venetian Snares
Uzi & Ari
And The Verve were better when they were just Verve. Fit the criteria better too.
Was that
in their shoegazey/psychedelic days that I have heard about?
ugly casanova
vincent gallo
V=
Vendetta Red
Z= Zutons
U= the Used
Ugly Casanova
the missing link and transistion period for Isaacc from Moon & Antarctica to Good News, it explains the change in sound more then just simple sell out ethics.
Zwan
have some bloody good tunes also if you like Siamese Dreams era Pumpkins
Does the explanation go along the lines of...
...pretty much everything Modest mouse did before Moon & Antarctica was boring and shit and then while doing Ugly Casanova he realised how to write good songs?
:O

The Valley Arena
Awesome band.
Volta Do Mar
are a great math/prog band.
That's my suggestions, yo.
U
Unicorns!
U is for Union Kid!
Also
Try Zemfira if you're after any quite pensive but good nevertheless female-fronted Russian rock.
Her louder songs are rather ace, really.

"Le Bruit Et L'Odeur" by Zebda
A couple of years ago I made myself
a mixtape called 'Sarah's A-Z'. My U was Underworld, My V was The Verve and Z was Zwan. I would probably do something different now. My A was AC/DC 'If You Want Blood'. Great start to the tape.
I find it difficult to fit
any more than 20 songs on one mix CD.
Which means I'll never be able to make an alphabetape.
:(

I did miss out X
