here are some albums i would suggest.

Arcade Fire - Funeral

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Pixies - Doolittle (is this considered indie?) even if it isn't, its brilliant.

Radiohead - Amnesiac

enjoy! PM me if u need them.

I have few requests, so if you can help on any of these, please do

1. Saturnus (ESPECIALLY for your demons. Though my other favorites include noir, Starres, Thou Art Free, Fall of Nakkiel)

2. Similar artists to Red Sparowes/God Is an Astronaut

3. Agalloch - The White EP.

I already asked in "Metal & Rock music recommendations", but that thread doesn't seem to be too active, so I will ask here as well.
Thanks!

I need bands that are like Radiohead, Beck, My Morning Jacket. Songs that give you shivers with long epic screams and heavenly voices like Thom Yorke. Music that is ambient and sonic, yet not just noises. Favorite albums: Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief...

Good examples of what I want: Radiohead - Dollars and Cents, Thom Yorke - Cymbal Rush, Beck - Profanity Prayers, My Morning Jacket - Wordless Chorus

HELP!

Looking for good drum&bass stuff, I've been listening to Calyx & Teebee for a few days now and am starting to dig it. Any must have albums of the genre I should get?

Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow and Ride the Skies

They're more noise rock then anything but they are so immense you gotta give them a listen.

Eh I think I have heard some stuff before. Don't remember being too impressed, I will give it a listen regardless. Thank you.
