I'd love to hear your album recommendations. It can be anything, but preferably something that one might not discover on their own. It doesn't have to be recent - in fact, it might even be better if it's not because that means it's lived with you awhile and stuck to you. I've been introduced to so many new artists through this board (on fashion, no less!) that i thought it would be valuable, perhaps, to share like this.

So i will start, and hope this works.



My recommendation would be "Spilt Milk" by Jellyfish (image from Amazon.com). It's a fun, infectous album - at times even silly. I'm not really good at classifying things, but perhaps this could be called lush power pop. I hear influences from The Beach Boys to Cheap Trick to Queen to Lewis Carroll. The highlight perhaps is "Ghost At Number One" or "New Mistake", so you may want to check out those songs and see how they hit you.

If you're open to rap i'd say K.M.D. is classic as well as The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II, Also Cage- Movies for the Blind, MF Doom's Mmm..food is just plain old f*cking great so i'd suggest that :^0

Sorry, I don't really follow Martha as much as I do Rufus. I've heard some of her stuff, but Rufus has to be my favorite Wainwright.:D
 
Dog Man Star by Suede

Forget about Oasis, Blur and Pulp. Backed up by the best guitar sounds I've heard in years, this Suede album is my favorite.
 
Every one should own Elvis Costello´s first three albums as well as anything by Nina Simone. It´s good for your heart :)

The "You Should Hear..." Thread

Am I the only one who is obssesed with itunes? I mainly just type in the names of bands, and listen to their CD's. As many members on the TFS board have already stated, I have discovered so many wonderful bands because of TFS, so I have decided to start a thread where people suggest songs that... well, you should hear. I have been dieing for a thread like this.

Oh, and if this thread has already been done.... just kidding.

Facing New York- "You Might Not Feel It All". Swimming Not Treading

Gnarls Barkley- "The Last Time" St. Elsewhere
