Hmmm...
1.Belle and Sebastian
2.Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
3.Suede
then
4.Hefner
5.Elliott Smith (not strictly speaking a band of course)
6.REM
Nick Cave
is my no.4!
Mine are
1. Modest Mouse
2. Sonic Youth
3. Animal Collective
Modest Mouse
are quite good. I don't know- all of these are bands I feel I should like but don't
Modest Mouses first 3 albums really do it for me
they are so dark and beautiful and have moments of spazztastic rock. Lyrically the band were almost untouchable in their prime
modest mouse
seriously, your putting modest mouse in the same bracket as sonic youth, im sorry, i have to find another site to frequent...
If you have heard
This IS A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About, Lonesome Crowded West, Building Nothing Out Of Something & Moon & Antarctica then I will validate your opinion more as I will put at least 3 of the 4 albums up there with Sonic Youths finest.
Guided By Voices
Pulp
The Smiths
Belle and Sebastian are in the lead
with 2 votes
Devo
Plus-Tech Squeeze Box
Polysics
definitely:
1/ JANE'S ADDICTION
2/ RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

I would have completely agreed with that about a year ago, except Mew would have been top above DCFC (and still are).
Now mine is:
1. Mew
2. Jens Lekman
3. Death Cab For Cutie
Although number 3 is always a bit here and there.
EVER?
Manic Street Preachers
Brand New
Cat Stevens (as an artist)
Cat is in my top ten
1. Beatles
2. Radiohead
3. Wilco
No I can't - I just can't
Radiohead - obviously
Sonic Youth - but... maybe waning recently?
Neutral Milk Hotel - but... only 1 truly essential album so...
Slint - ditto
Erm...
OK then Mountain Goats - so many great albums, superb live. Bit limited musically though?
Nick Cave +TBS - No, just for that appalling Nocturama shit. Great live though.
Low - yeah - rock solid back catalogue, two great singers.
What about ISIS though?
or Godspeed - they've got to be up there.
Damn you and your thread.
RADIOHEAD
have 2 points and share the lead
and sonic youth
so that's 3
1. Modest Mouse
2.Battles
3.Everclear*
*I've liked them for years and think they, in their prime, were massively underrated and passed off as a nirvana rip-off. To be fair they released a lot of shit too.
2 votes
for battles and modest mouse
Assuming solo artists are allowed...
Elliott Smith
The Libertines
Muse
and The Wrens are a close 4th
