Walliver 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Inspired by sammynb's thread, are there any bands out there who you think are genuinely original ? I'd be surprised if we found (m)any that no-one could come up with an early version of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10663 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Prodigy... can't really think of anyone that had that kind of music before they did. Radiohead.... maybe... you could tenuously link em to others, but they strike me as pretty original Gorillaz?...perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead = I can't bring myself to answer this because I know I will only disappoint myself. Gorillaz = pwei, bad and a quite a few others.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Although in the other thread I said Lightning Bolt were a newer Led Zep, that's only because they are the best heavy rock band at the moment. I've heard very little like them. I'd also like to know where these lot get it from...

They are just about to tour and I was thinking about going and seeing them because I've heard the name but can't place the sound. The other I've never heard of.

Ted Maul 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Sigur Ros perhaps. I'm a Prog Rocking loving freak and I can't say i've heard any soundalikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other I've never heard of. 94461[/snapback] Hard to describe (that's why I included them here). I'm listening to it to help, and you've got a lass who sings in a geet childish, cute, girly voice and a bloke who half talks, half sings. It's guitar driven stuff that has the feel of Andrew Bird - light, innocent and childish, something you'd imagine a musically gifted 3 year old would come up with simple but sprawling and textured. It then goes off into really scuzzy, driving, pounding guitar sections. Sorry about my inability to describe it. These guys love it These hate it EDIT: Dunno what I was on about. Not Andrew Bird, I meant the Boy least Likely To. Edited February 16, 2006 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The Cheeky Girls are quite unlike anything I've ever seen/heard before. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Crunt (real band featuring the singer from Babes in Toyland and her husband from Lubricated Goat (yes another real band)) or maybe even Little Birdy or even Lush???

I'll have to try and find some that's not daft pound on amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The Moody Blues. You might laugh, but I'm sure they were the first band to incorporate strings into popular music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1217 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Oasis? How about TV On The Radio? Actually they're quite possibly like loads of other bands but not like any at the same time. Sufjan Stevens. I can't think of anyone else that sounds like most of his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Little Birdy.... hahaha... saw them performing live when I was in the audience of some show... we thought they were pissing about at first... or that she was really ill so could hardly sing.... Really hope they didn't show any audience clips during that bit because there was a load of us on the front row giggling uncontrollably, if as silently as possible. Annywayyysss......
