Name some bands for me to download...anything that you think is good and i'll download it...

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Friday, 29 August 2003 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)

"It'll End in Tears."

(Whether I'm recommending the album or predicting the future of this thread is up to you.)

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 29 August 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, my favorite band in the world when I was 14 was the Dead Milkmen. I'm not exactly the rabid fan I used to be, but if you like things are both genuinely punk and genuinely funny, I don't think you'll have to put much effort into liking them. Look for "Punk Rock Girl", "Stuart", "V.F.W", "Nutrition", and, of course, their fine cover of The Smiths' "Takin' Retards To The Zoo."

― Jesse Fuchs (Jesse Fuchs), Friday, 29 August 2003 03:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Talking Heads, T. Rex & Parliament-Funkadelic

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Friday, 29 August 2003 03:58 (twenty-two years ago)

No, no, no. Talking Heads are your favorite band when you're [i]15[/i]. Then P-Funk when you're 16, and then T. Rex when you're 17 and your freshman roommate smokes a whole lot of pot. Listening to any of them before then, however, will undoubtedly give you Reye's syndrome, just as with aspirin. Forewarned!

― Jesse Fuchs (Jesse Fuchs), Friday, 29 August 2003 04:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i recommend electroclash and interpol. they'd be the 2003 equivalent of what i listened to when i was 14

I found the remastered Singles Going Steady today. (it actually has a little bass, you can hear the beat!)

I think listening to it as I drove around town was the closest I've come to religious experience.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 29 August 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a beautiful thing.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 29 August 2003 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd still take the first Ramones album, hell the first five, over a live album.

― hstencil, Friday, 29 August 2003 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Stence, have you ever heard It's Alive, or are you simply writing it off because it happens to be a live album? It's Alive is basically the first three Ramones albums played harder, faster and sloppier in a frenzied tumult of pantsless rocktacity, and if you can't respect its majesty, your stereo should be confiscated.

*takes peek at first line*

*laughs* Alex, you're so predictable. Thank you and don't change, please. Oh, but Talk Talk and The Buzzcocks? And you think positively about Duran Duran? Wow. Happily surprising developments, film at 11.

On the original topic at hand, I don't know just exactly what it is you're familiar with. I could swan on and on about the '80s, but you could also very well already be familiar with the artists I listen to the most. As expected, I would recommend Duran Duran to you, if you haven't checked them out already. I don't think the singles are the best they have to offer, either, but rather the album tracks and b-sides. I'd also happily recommend Japan and David Sylvian to you, but I don't know if either of them would be your cup of tea and I have the feeling David Sylvian would be more of an artist you'd listen to if you were at least 18 years old. Um, I do think you should try out this Australian group called Hunters & Collectors. Their earlier material is darker and more rock-oriented, while their latter material is more stadium rock, but I quite like them all. Also a must to get into '80s-wise (and now that Alex has brought up The Buzzcocks) -- Pete Shelley's "Telephone Operator". I. Love. This. Song.

Um, hm. The best of the rest of the '80s? Well, here's a list of some of my favorites:

The Bongos, "Numbers With Wings" (jangle-pop from NJ!)
The Producers, "What's He Got" (great power-pop from Atlanta)
Romeo Void, "Never Say Never" (lovely song, this)
Kissing the Pink, "Watching Their Eyes" (yummy British New Wave)
Alphaville, "Sounds Like a Melody" (lush pop from Germany)
Captain Sensible, "Wot" (it's both silly and catchy)
Charlie Sexton, "Impressed" (I just love this song)
Corey Hart, "Eurasian Eyes" (pop with a slightly sophisticated edge)
Curiosity Killed the Cat, "Misfit" (hey, I love this song!)
Howard Jones, "Like to Get to Know You Well" (ditto!)
INXS, "Disappear" and "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)" (they're more than just "Need You Tonight")
Kate Bush, "This Woman's Work" (OMG, such a beautiful and sad song)
Lene Lovich, "Bird Song" (my favorite song of hers)
Midnight Oil, "The Power & the Passion" (great Aussie rock)
Nik Kershaw, "The Riddle" (because it's loaded with great hooks)
Our Daughter's Wedding, "Auto Music" (great British New Wave)
Tears for Fears, "Change", "Mad World", "Mothers Talk", and "Advice for the Young At Heart" (because I love Tears for Fears and those are my four favorite songs from them)
'Til Tuesday, "Love in a Vacuum" and "I Could Get Used to This" (sad and great songs about love)
Tones on Tail, "Go!" (because you need to dance)
Ultravox, "We Came to Dance" and "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" (because those are the two songs that got me hooked onto them)

Oh God, that isn't even hitting the tip of the iceberg for the full effect of '80s artists/songs I love. Hopefully you'll find yourself at least liking a good amount of artists/songs listed here.

p.s.: Alex, thanks for reminding me about Nick Cave! Ack! Too much '80s love! '80s love overload!

Oh God! I totally forgot to recommend Belfegore to you too! "All That I Wanted" is a song both Alex and I agree is fabulous, but also you should check out "Nacht in Sodom" and their song "Belfegore".

And Madness -- "It Must Be Love", "House of Fun", and "Baggy Trousers", especially!

And Classix Nouveaux's "Is it a Dream" and Comsat Angels' "Independence Day" and "I'm Falling"! And... and... I'll shut up about the '80s now.

Erm, good night. Happy downloading... I mean, sampling. :)

strangely i agree. with the exception of Cocteau Twins, at 14 i would have thought all these records sucked

PJ Harvey
Sleater-Kinney
Sonic Youth

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

But of course, if you really like Nirvana, the next logical step would be to explore their peers, their roots and their influences.

So, here's a list of sureshots:

- Pixies - Surfer Rosa
- Jesus Lizard - Goat
- REM - Murmur
- Melvins - Houdini
- Beatles - White Album

and some stuff that I think it's cool:

- Smashing Pumpkins - everything except for their last two albums (not that they're bad, only because they don't fit here)
- Eleventh Dream Day - El Moodio
- My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything, followed by Loveless
- Shellac - everything (but especially At Action Park)

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh dear lord not The Mix. TransEurope Express is the Kraftwerk album to get, IMHO. Computer World is probably the most accessable. But The Mix is the worst thing they've ever put out, and I'm including the recent Tour de France single.

Thank you for asking this question because every time Alex gets on one of these album cover spewing sessions I end up seeing something that I love but haven't listened to in a long time. I guess I should thank you Alex too ;-).

I was 14 in 1994, so I was listening to Nirvana. I also really liked Sonic Youth. I'd recommend starting with Daydream Nation or Dirty before you challenge your eardrums a little further. I don't remember if I found Joy Division that year or the next, but that is a band I've never grown tired of. I'd say start with Unknown Pleasures or one of the compilations with the singles on it like Permanent. Oh yeah and as Alex reminded me, Devo's Q: Are We Not Men?... is great. I joined the Devo cult early in life.

― Mike Salmo (salmo), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

When I was fifteen, the first older records I liked (i.e., not contemporary) were the Cure and the Smiths greatest hits collections. (This despite being a pretty happy-go-lucky kid; I just loved the music, esp. singing along to it like Morrissey or Robert Smith.)

Most of you guys are thrusting her into the lion den rather swiftly. Cut her some slack! Most of the above mentioned are to an extent inaccessible for a 14 year old, especially one used to listening to Nirvana and the Beatles, which are essentially pop acts. Break her in gently.

A couple of suggestions, based on what I was listening round that time, more or less, or what I would've enjoyed looking back:

The Smiths- The Queen Is Dead
Bad Brains- I Against I
Sublime- s/t
RHCP- Blood Sugar Sex Magik (well, actually, this one's a bit more boy oriented)
The Stone Roses- s/t
Pixies- Surfer Rosa
Cheap Trick- s/t
Duran Duran- Rio
Ozzy Osbourne- Greatest Hits
Black Sabbath- Paranoid
Ramones- Rocket to Russia

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Y by the Pop Group may be a bit of a leap, yes.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd say "Experimental Jet Set, Trash and no Star" was a good Sonic Youth album to start off on (it was my first, and I've loved them since).

― cis (cis), Friday, 29 August 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd recommend:

Journey - Escape
Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight
Lotion - Nobody's Cool

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 29 August 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

don't worry about it too much, because if you're a normal 14 year-old (or perhaps, if I was a typical 14 year-old) by the time you're 17, you'll think all the stuff you listened to when you were 14 was junk anyhow.
Just enjoy what you like.

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Friday, 29 August 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, okay, I second AINYC's Modern Lovers, esp. that first albu. This is how the boys your age think. They'll grow out of it and eventually start thinking more about Nudist Gardeners and Chewing Gum Wrappers.

I know they've been mentioned a lot already, but seriously, Caitlin, I cannot stress enough how much you need the Ramones in your life.

Also, you could try Weezer, probably "Pinkerton".

― Nick H, Friday, 29 August 2003 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Download "Soma" by the Smashing Pumpkins if you haven't already. This should convince you to buy Siamese Dream PRONTO

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Friday, 29 August 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

YES! Weezer´s a surefire choice, although I would go with the Blue album, Nick.

And hey, Horace, I didn´t like the Smiths at all when I was in high school. Thought them whining pussies. Maybe that´s why I´m really digging the Smiths now...me devolving into a whining pussy and all.

This is so OTM I can't stand it.

I'm also surprised nobody has recommended the velvet underground's self titled yet.. and maybe throw in 'the sky's gone out' by bauhaus if you're feeling goth..

Caitlin, it's easy on this site. Just type an "i" (without the quotation marks) immediately in front of a link to a link to an image. You can use Google to search for images (though some people have their own image files stashes away on web-sites, I assume).

No, Caitlin did it correctly, but she linked to the whole page, and not the photo itself. It won't work that way - the photo has its own link. This is the link you want for just the photo:

I didn't see any Pavement records listed here. You should give their first three albums a shot, Caitlin - Slanted & Enchanted, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, and Wowee Zowee. They are my favorite band ever, and I got into them around the time I was 13.

Wouln't it be funny to see some dude on a nude beach, though, who was TOTALLY pale everywhere else except his genitals?

I always make a joke (when I'm talking about nude beaches, that is) that I want to go to a nude beach and wear a full body suit and ski mask, with just a hole cut out for my genitalsto hang out. It's like the REVERSE of normal every-day clothing. Just some dude in a black outfit with his dick hanging out...

Are you really 14? I'm so sorry. But, no doubt you've seen worse on this obscene thing we call the internet, right?

― Scaredy Cat, Saturday, 30 August 2003 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Gloves, too. Totally covered in black, save for one very special spot. I can't figure out if it's funnier to wear sunglasses or to have eyeholes as well.

― Scaredy Cat, Saturday, 30 August 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

yes i'm really 14 but don't worry about it iv'e done things 14 year olds shouldn't do ::cough:: moving on...so say whatever you like...and anyways i have four brothers oler that is so iv'e gone threw a lot

Oh, pshaw.. :) Caitlin, when you get done laughing at certain people, I say get some.. uh.. Bad Religion! And if you like NIN, hmm.. Ministry (Stigmata, Just One Fix, Jesus Built My Hotrod), Thrill Kill Kult (A Daisy Chain 4 Satan, Days of Swine and Roses), and yes, Joy Division, all Joy Division is good Joy Division. Gary Numan "Metal."

I loved PJ Harvey when I was 15 (took patience, but hey, friends that I was convinced were cooler than me loved it, so I figured I had to.. ).. And I still like her a lot.

Really my biggest piece of advice is uh, if you don't get why something is supposed to be good, don't sell the CD (or delete the file) right away. Put it away and listen again in a couple months or whatever. Maybe a few times. And if you still don't like it, you know you don't like it - but perhaps in the meantime you'll have heard other things that make that first album suddenly seem interesting.

Also, Beck? "Mellow Gold" or "Odelay".
