Based on this, I might say this dude and I have similar (awesome) tastes. Though some of his other choices might be a little rock-y for me. I'm pretty laidback, and so is much of my music.I can do electronic, if it's more along the lines of Radiohead or Apparat.

I prefer alt./indie rock, but I'm pretty picky. The song has to sound great, and the singer must have a unique voice. By that, I don't mean hit all the high notes. I'm slowly getting into Johnny Cash, and I don't love country, but his voice (even in his last two American records) is awesome to listen to. The same goes for Mumford... a poor songwriter, but he sounds great behind a guitar. I hate when singers sound too whiny, or, guh, sound the same. I really like The Shins, but their main singer sounds way too much like a ton of other indie artists.

The National is my be-all, end-all of music, and everything is measured by that bar. I'll probably listen to anything mexicangordo recommends, though.

Shucks I like the song writing in Mumford and Sons.... :cry:

Wolf-Man2006

Eh. Usually someone saying something like that to me would make me dig up Sigh No More and reconsider my stance, but... still neh. The thing Marcus Mumford has going for him is that I like the way he delivers his mediocre lyrics :P. I mean, there is definitely worse out there, but most times I feel his choice of rhymes are awful. Some songs it's just less noticeable.

That's kind of why I don't really care for their slower pieces, where it's really simplistic with no big melodic hook. They're at their best when they're strumming really loud, stamping their feet and near-yelling imo. Their album captures their energy and I love that. The National has some fantastic live arrangements, but they're a lot more low-key in the studio.

Sharpie do you like the Decemberists?muller39

I've heard OF them, but I never sat down and really listened to them. Do you wanna pitch 'em to me, let me know where to start? :P

I've had people try to sell me on Editors and Interpol (even Bloc Party) because they have some similarity or just passing resemblance to The National, and while I like a lot of the stuff from the three artists respectively, imo none are as good as TN.

I didn't know that about that certain song. I agree that they are the best folk band right now.

That made me laugh. Thanks, I'll check them out this weekend.

I know I made a big deal about lyrics, but when it comes down to it, I just prefer sound/texture over all. Just as long as the lyrics aren't Bieber-bad (like the last Coldplay album), I'll be cool with it.

4. Busta Rhymes
5. Wu Tang Clan
6. Def Squad
7. Eminem
8. Jin
9. Jay Z
10. Tupac
11. Notorious B.I.G.
12. The Clipse
13. Masta Ace
14. Camp Lo
15. Digable Planets
16. Tech N9ne
17. KRS-One
18. Fat Joe (pre-2005)
19. Big Pun
20. Nas
21. Royce Da 5'9"

24. Kanye West
25. Common
26. Lupe Fiasco
27. The Roots
28. Ice Cube

I think that covers a lot of different areas of rap that I listen to.
