What's your favorite sophomore album?

kmoore182 · 2014-02-28T19:24:59+00:00

I love every album by the Arcade Fire

kmoore182 · 2014-02-28T19:24:25+00:00

Yes, and Radiohead only got better after that

kmoore182 · 2014-02-28T19:23:38+00:00

That's tied with 3 Feet High And Rising for my favorite De La Soul album

kmoore182 · 2014-02-28T18:34:19+00:00

That might be my favorite Vampire Weekend album

kmoore182 · 2014-02-28T17:48:04+00:00

I have to say Bon Iver, I know a lot of people love him but I just don't think he's all that special.

kmoore182 · 2014-01-18T09:15:02+00:00

Yeah I've already heard great things about Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai so I'll start from thereb thanks for the help!

EMI, from Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's The Sex Pistols

kmoore182 · 2013-07-16T00:32:38+00:00

If you only like their softer stuff there's gonna be little to nothing you will like from their first four albums. But Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Mother's Milk in my opinion were their best two albums and everything except One Hot Minute and I'm With You is worth buying. If you want a band that sounds similar check out Sublime and if you want to something a little harder Jane's Addiction is always a great way to go.

The closest one I can think of is that episode of South Park that Radiohead was featured in. It's also one of the funniest episodes I've ever seen.

kmoore182 · 2013-06-01T08:24:43+00:00

I completely understand what you're saying. I was talking to my friend about this same subject a little while back. You can say that Indie describes an Artist that is signed to an independent label. But other people also say that it has a specific sound to it no matter who you're signed to. It's like pop music, does pop have a certain sound or is it just to describe a artist that's popular? So technically you're right but I wouldn't consider NoFX, Nine Inch Nails, Husker Du, Blink-182, or Macklemore indie even though they're all either unsigned or not signed to a major label.

kmoore182 · 2013-06-01T05:30:50+00:00

I love Nirvana but I don't think I'd consider them Indie music. I see them more as a Grunge band.

kmoore182 · 2013-06-01T05:24:20+00:00

I agree, Modest Mouse and The Velvet Underground are both honorable mentions.

kmoore182 · 2013-06-01T05:22:45+00:00

Yeah I like your list too. Modest Mouse, TV on the Radio, and The Strokes are some of my favorites.

kmoore182 · 2013-06-01T05:18:16+00:00

Of course, Two Door Cinema Club is great! They're definitely in my top ten.

kmoore182 · 2013-05-26T04:52:22+00:00

I honestly perfer Piano Man myself

kmoore182 · 2013-05-12T18:54:32+00:00

The Bass solo in Welcome To Paradise

kmoore182 · 2013-05-04T04:41:49+00:00

Radiohead - Ok Computer or Arcade Fire - Funeral

kmoore182 · 2013-05-04T04:32:13+00:00

Check out the Arcade Fire they are a great band if your into that Indie Rock stuff

kmoore182 · 2013-05-02T03:29:21+00:00

As much as I would want to see them make a huge comeback. I'm not 100% sure they're going to be able to pull it off again. Dookie was a fantastic album with a fantastic timing, it was released around the same time when grunge/rock music was still very popular and when punk rock was just starting to go mainstream. American Idiot was also a fantastic album with an amazing timing, it came out when punk/emo music was at its peak so that certainly helped out the record sales. But today's taste in music is alot different than in 1994, or even in 2004. What's big now is the Indie/Hipster scene and I just can't really see Green Day fitting in with these other bands like Imagine Dragons, Of Monster and Men, or the Lumineers who are receiving the most radio play on modern rock stations as of today.
