Your music collection?

The Hero Factor is a band out of Tulsa, Oklahoma that I really like. They sound a bit like a cross between The Killers and Maroon 5. Probably a poor description but I’m just trying to relate them to some more known artists…

Check out their website to hear some of their stuff:

Storyhill is my favorite band – they’re mostly acoustic guitar – kinda folky and kinda mellow, and their lyrics are some of the best I’ve ever heard. I don’t think you can get them from iTunes yet, but here’s their website: www.storyhill.com

@Foolaholic – I just discovered Vampire Weekend, they are great!

Some of my more obscure favorite music includes Bay area musician Sean Hayes, an Australian indie-pop band called the Lucksmiths and French singer Camille. Her album “le Fil” is pretty interesting.

I’ve been very pleased with the music of Michael Heaton for a while. Very well-written songs. “Our Little Secret” is a great album to own and enjoy.

The Beautiful South recently disbanded but they leave behind quite a bit of recorded music. Any of their collected works are outstanding.

Tally Hall. Outstanding debut record, “Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum.” Quirky and tuneful.

Sara Gazarek is a young jazz vocalist with an amazing voice and outstanding band. I expect she will continue to improve and expand her audience. Several good CDs.

Cat Power!

Akron Family, Castanets, Phosphorescent, Talking Heads, Flaming Lips

The Boy Least Likely To

The Cinematic Orchestra

Fiest (although she’s gotten pretty popular now)

A fine Frenzy

Gregory and the Hawk

The Hush Sound

Mad Caddies

The Pillows

Trans-Siberian Orchestra (although it’s all christmas music)

Check out Margot and the Nuclear So-and-So’s.

@foolaholic not all of Trans-Siberian Orchestras music is christmas, one cd was all like Mozart and Beethoven which was awesome. TSO is great, definitely have to try and get tickets next time they come around.

not sure how popular/unpopular these all are, as i don’t watch tv/listen to the radio often, but:
she & him, gregory and the hawk, mates of state, ben kweller, adam green, the felice brothers, two gallants, willy mason, peachcake, lemonade, foxy shazam, jenny lewis, the sounds, be your own pet, los campesinos!, of montreal, men women and children, murs, patrick wolf, tilly and the wall, tom gabel (the guy from against me!‘s solo project), zox, vanessa carlton

i just realized that i repeated some. man, there are some jellies with incredible music tastes here (imo)

Burzum, Summoning, The Ruins Of Beverast, Wolves In The Throne Room, Horn, Urfaust and other Black Metal acts that do not suck ass.
