Jesus Lizard definitely
The Cows
OOIOO
Brainiac
Funkadelic

One of these days when I am bored i'll write a Cows profile. Then the two people who like them on this site can vote and make themselves feel better.

Re: Top 5 bands/artists that arnt on DiS artist li

Formed in 1996 in Bloomington, Indiana, the EDM consist of Joseph Brumley (guitar and vocals), Daniel Burton (guitar and vocals), Jonathan Richardson (bass), Matt Griffin (drums), Kirk Pratt (guitar, vocals and keyboards) and Don Mahlmeister (guitar, bass). They released their fourth studio album in early 2005, ‘All Harm Ends Here’.

Sounding very similar to Low, coupling soft vocals with rich musical panoramas, EDM are melancholy in the extreme. The songs are lyrical, stunningly vivid and, at times, leave you breathless.

There is also a conspicuous absence of anything related to Björk's early days: KUKL and The Sugarcubes, anyone?

Re: Top 5 bands/artists that arnt on DiS artist li

as i hear more of their records they're fast becoming one of my fave bands of all time, and yet again, a band i probably wont ever get to see. still hopefully there will be a new twilight singers album soon, and apparently they play a few whigs songs, so will be lookin forward to that.

Ok, fair enough, when they get a profile you can rate them poorly. They deserve a little spot though.

Re: Top 5 bands/artists that arnt on DiS artist li

ok. but they are on my iPod, and every time i put it on shuffle i skip them. i do like one or two, though.

but, come on, Cream?? how can you miss them? (not you, personally, but contributors to the list)
and the kinks, too!! i feel i am repeating myself.

There is a Stars profile on here, in case anyone was wondering:

http://www.drownedinsound.com/bands.php?id=7225

Anyway. I'd also like to see profiles for the following:

The Exploding Hearts
The Olivia Tremor Control
Mr. Lif
Thunderbirds Are Now!
Wolf Parade

I'd do them myself, if I wasn't a complete lazy arse. But I am, so... sorry.

Re: Top 5 bands/artists that arnt on DiS artist li

Yeah, that's the band. Quality power-pop.

'Guitar Romantic' is a great album, it's just a shame most people seem to have forgotten them.
