Right, so if I like stuff like JD/NO, Smiths, Stone Roses, Bunnymen, Fall, Magazine, The Jam, what should I look out for?
Can be old or new.

All the albums are good. My fave would be The Last Broadcast though.

I thought everyone agreed Lost Souls was the best album, everything else is great, but nothing comes close to Lost Souls.
Other bands include:
Radiohead Interpol Muse Jeff Buckley Travis
Thought those would be a good start
JHC
Oh you'd love Front 242, too. Especially their early stuff.
And if completely something different.., try Dreadzone.

Great lyrics, definately 80's sound, but Danny Elfman was a music genius. Really big here in California, though it didn't hit that big anywhere else. He also did the Simpsons theme song and did alot of musical scores for movies in the 90's (all of Tim Burton's stuff).

the replacements. everyone must listen to the replacements.
and husker du, of course. well, anything with the name 'bob mould' attached to it. sugar is less punk but their album copper blue is as good as anything husker du ever did.
p.s. why not break out of the 'indie/punk' mold and listen to some marvin gaye, stevie wonder (pre-1980s), curtis mayfield and maybe even try a little emmylou harris?
Ladytron, Client, Elbow, I Am Kloot, Delays, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Mystery Jets, Guillemots, Hope Of The States, Editors, Goldfrapp...
Also worth checking out is anything by Richard Ashcroft, solo or with the Verve. Been listening to lots of that today.

i prefer the word soul. and curtis mayfield is funk, as is isaac hayes (i've got an isaac hayes record collection, as well). emmylou is country/bluegrass.

the sugarhill gang were actually a 'boy band' put together by a '60s singer (forget her name now). grandmaster flash and the furious five. now that's where it's at. 
Love&Rockets--Express Front242--Front by Front Clan of Xymox
pre-Sex Pistols music Beatles--Abbey Road, Yellow Submarine soundtrack, Rubber Soul and Sgt Pepper The Doors--their live lps covers most and are great Bowie--Ziggy Stardust, Aladinsane, Diamond Dogs, Scary Monsters, Low, Heroes
Twist, singer of the Blessing Way wrote: Love&Rockets--Express Front242--Front by Front Clan of Xymox
True, seriously!
If you like JD/NO, The Fall, you may like really Clan of Xymox, Front 242, Wire, My Bloody Valentine.

not a big fan, in case you haven't guessed. although they do have a few good songs here and there.
Emma Peel wrote: I never really got into The Doors. Maybe I should try listening to their work again...
I **DON"T** like the Doors. But I used to listen to alot of their music. The best album is LA Woman.
Good songs: Love Her Madly, Hyacinth House, LA Woman, Riders in the Storm, L'America, Break On Thru.
I think their best concert LP would be Live At The Hollywood Bowl (1987).

Are you incinuating that it's a bad sign? Well the Sex Pistols and Spice Girls were also "gathered" but they shook the world.

not sure if the spice girls 'shook the world,' per se. but grandmaster flash was probably more influential than the sugarhill gang in the long run, as was afrikaa bambaataa, even though 'rapper's delight' was the first mainstream rap record.

pixies are one of my all time fave bands, they were amazing live
red hot chili peppers for sure. disappointed at liam's lack of knowledge on higher ground
you all know I love pearl jam, see what you think if you want Wasim
I also love Metallica but you probably don't
Neil Young is really mint
So are Bloc Party they're class

Thought of Metallica, but its unlikely anyone else here would like them. Its nothing like the same kind of stuff. Bloc Party though
Audioslave too

Trust me, I've told college hippie wannabes to fuck off Front 242 is staying on the stereo and the Doors are remaining in his pocket. But Jim and Co have at least two live lps (I think just one live cd) that are definitive of their music without the pretencious bullshit. Absolutely Live (blue cover double vinyl) and Alive She Cried. All the fookin' Doors anyone needs and rockin' bastards with good banter. With the advent of compact discs both lps were re-released with the title "In Concert."
To add to some of the recommendations (but not all of them...Pearl Jam? Are you kidding me? :p ):
Gram Parsons (really more for the country-rock he perfected with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, his solo stuff is a bit too hardcore for me)
Belle and Sebastian (fantastic Scottish pop band that has grown from purely acoustic wistfulness to ballsy rock on their last two LPs. Check out both versions for greater appreciation)
Death Cab for Cutie (based solely on their new "major-label" debut, which is currently in residence in my car stereo)
Old 97s (I only have one album of theirs, "Satellite Rides" from '01. But it's absolutely one of my favorite country-rock albums)
Otis Redding (not just the guy who Duckie mimed to in "Pretty in Pink". Definitely one of the great gritty soul singers)
The Modern Lovers (if you want to see where punk actually began, pick up their one proper studio album in the original incarnation)
The Byrds (not just for the Parsons stuff, but some classic Sixties American pop)
And if you don't have anything by Bob Dylan at this point...what is wrong with you?

Forgot about him. But i think everyone has a healthy supply of Bob. Even Jack does now, thanks to me

C'mon, guys... are you insane? What Bob Dylan??? The man asks what to listen to in the wake of Jd/NO, the Jam, etc. What does it have to do the hippie music?
Strictly no Dylan! 
Neil Young?--Rust Never Sleeps, Decade
twist<-----:shy: parents tried to raise me on Dylan yet I have none in my home. BTW Dylan will be playing here in Des Moines and a great small venue for a charity event. $1300 to get in. Some fookin' poet/60s icon...
Right people, loads to listen to over spring break then! Starting with Front 242's Front by Front album, which is downloading (legally, of course) as we speak. Cheers all.
Sorry that Dylan is such a sore point. I happen to think the guy's got some great albums in his back catalogue. Thus the recommendation...
You might also want to check out a great band called the Cure, they've been around a while and :p

Yeah that sums up the Cure. First few lps good then others are hit and miss or have only a few good tunes and some shit. Once again I defer to the live lp concept. Cure live is 100K better than studio, especially Distintegration. Get Entreat instead of Distintegration. But Three Imaginary Boys and Seventeen Seconds are essential Cure studio lp. The latter being a great chill out cd.

First- Cure had two types of music:
- Pop singles to get their albums noticed
- True Cure songs
I would stay away from anything post-Wish, nothing that spectacular. Have to be a hardcore fan to like those. The "Singles" album sucks, as the songs don't have their impact in the order they are in. Albums to have are:
- Disintegration. . .this is their defining moment
- Pornography . . .darkest album, huge impact on music
- Head on the Door. . .Music most people associate with the Cure.
- Faith . . .Dark, yet mellow
- Seventeen Seconds. . .great album
- Three Imaginary Boys . . .Only true punk album of theirs
- Wish. . .Great mood album
Don't base your judgement off of the "Singles" album. A great album with the same singles is "Show", live album and REALLY good.

The life pursuit - belle and sebastian.
I also love 'i believe when I fall in love' by stevie wonder - its tops and from the hf soundtrack.
But the most beautifully crafted and poetic song ever is
"She's blinded me with Scienec" utter splendor. I'm listening to it right now.
Disintegration. . .this is their defining moment
If you ever gave Entreat a spin you would never listen to Distintegration again. Entreat is an lp of live Distintegration tracks from Wembley in 89. Fantastic. As a result of hearing this lp the studio lp seems lifeless and flat.

I do have Entreat, plus many of the other b-sides that are live not on Entreat, So I have the Disintegration album peiced together live. Love both of them equally.

Noticed you listed Bunnymen as a favorite band. . .\
Have you tried Modern English? Especially the album "After the Snow"? It has the hit "Melt with you" on it, but has a very similar sound as the bunnymen.
