I don't know what they would be classified as, but I love Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, but I don't care for Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo or even On Avery Island.

[Lounge Fly]

Prince is a fucking genius..not the kind of music id normally like but he doesnt get the recognition he deserves.

[Gnagflow]

Rob Zombie :)

Oh, that album is simply fantastic. I haven't gotten any of the Apples In Stereo's stuff, but I definitely like Olivia Tremor Control, and as far as I can tell, the Apples are very similar, so I'm sure I'd like them too. So far, I like all the Elephant 6 bands I've encountered.


As far as the topic goes, I'd say Dream Theater and Metallica. I normally don't listen to any metal or progressive, by those two bands I like quite a bit, especially Dream Theater.

That's interesting. Where did you hear of Neutral Milk Hotel?

I've been planning to give them a listen, because MMGuide has them down as neo-psychedelia (I like psychedelic rock), but I never got around to it. Thanks for the heads up on which album to get.

[Metallic]

In terms of rap, which I don't normally like, I really dig Necro and Immortal Technique.

Just from some indie/noise-rock/whatever fans I know. When people start singing praises, I get curious. :P
