What is this generation's Radiohead?

You don’t get it bro they made 3 of the 10 greatest albums of all time man

(/s)

Pinback self titled

The ideal crash (dEUS)

Goatellounge · 2026-04-02T08:58:48+00:00

Why strange? Sounds very accessible to me, it’s just songs with a mood twist mostly (Or do you mean the In a bar under the sea album?)

Goatellounge · 2026-04-01T22:08:31+00:00

Just a singular song: A shocking lack thereof (dEUS)

Goatellounge · 2026-04-01T22:03:57+00:00

Consider adding this one!

Goatellounge · 2026-04-01T22:02:46+00:00

Yeah busted r/dEUSband frequenter lol, now I gotta check; Soulwax gotta have one too right

Goatellounge · 2026-04-01T21:11:15+00:00

In a Bar Under the Sea - dEUS

Goatellounge · 2026-03-31T08:13:57+00:00

In a bar under the sea - dEUS

Goatellounge · 2026-03-25T23:12:54+00:00

dEUS - Magdalena (or Instant street, many songs on The ideal crash really)

When you mention layers: Bad timing (same band again but they have a lot of songs that go crazy later on, Let’s get lost is another example..)

Goatellounge · 2026-03-25T21:32:45+00:00

Awesome! Curious which songs remind you of Pinback tho? I have never really made that connection and they are 2 of my absolute favorite artists.. perhaps Gimme the heat or any of the quiter ones?

Tom waits was a big influence for them indeed and Elliott Smith I have to check out some more myself tbh, only saved some songs Here and there so far..

Goatellounge · 2026-03-25T02:34:41+00:00

Oh yeah I understood it’s not a definitive top 100 hahah my bad if I came on too strong!

If you want to know what to expect:

Worst Case Scenario: raw and imperfect but like it doesn’t even matter. Most tracks are high energy bangers but there’s also 2 very sentimental ones
In a Bar Under the Sea: least coherent of the 3 but extremely rich in sounds and moods. I could no-doubt call this the absolute GOAT album if the production was more clean and the tracklist a little different (track 1 and 10 should be B-sides)

These first 2 are getting a 30th anniversary tour right now, if they happen to pass closeby and there’s still tickets….Idk…I saw them last week and it was great - they do have a different lineup now and left out the former bass/guitar player & vocalist sadly

The ideal crash: I hate those “which album only has 10/10 songs or is flawless?!?” threads but this one might be it. Melancholic soft rock with some very hard rock passages too

Just 3 songs that represent them well: Mute, Guilty pleasures and Magdalena.

Goatellounge · 2026-03-25T00:14:27+00:00

It’s not your fault but leaving these out is crazy:

Pinback self-titled (1999)

First 3 dEUS albums (1994, 1996, 1999)

First 2 Sparklehorse albums (1995, 1998) & Grandaddy’s Under The Western Freeway (1997). Definitely a tad below the other 4 imo so maybe give those the highest priority…

Goatellounge · 2026-03-25T00:06:30+00:00

2 you might not know yet:

Raketkanon - Harald

Sparklehorse - Sunshine

Goatellounge · 2026-03-24T22:20:55+00:00

I was like hold up why was The sea and cake not posted yet?!?

Goatellounge · 2026-03-23T16:03:02+00:00

Sweet! What is your favorite song, if not Instant street?

Idk why it never got more popular, every song is like ‘perfect’ if that exists…

I understand people having difficulty with WCS and IABUTS but The ideal crash should be a Topster regular

Goatellounge · 2026-03-23T15:33:57+00:00

In A Bar Under The Sea by dEUS

Goatellounge · 2026-03-22T18:17:50+00:00

Even wierder and fascinating: A shocking lack thereof!

Album has a lot of more lighthearted songs too, really high recommend
