Two top Irish instrumental post-rock outfits: The Redneck Manifesto and God is an Astronaut. Neither boring

If you like novelty rock somewhat, Ween does a lot of diverse and silly stuff. Mollusk or Pure Guava are their best albums. Mollusk has a lot more polish but some people think that Pure Guava is their more pure and funnier stuff.

A soft rock/alternative band with a good voice.

^I like The Wallflowers, personally.

Thanks. I am thinking of buying 'Bringing Down The Horse'. That would be their best album, no? Some of the previews remind me of 'All Things Must Pass'.

Bringing Down The Horse is their most popular. I'm not sure if it is that I've heard it to many times or what, but I think Rebel, Sweetheart is, while having less commercial value, a superior album. But I would say both are great.

I bought Breach, but I was disappointed by it. Most of the songs are very similar, and there wasn't much rock about it, other than "Some Flowers Bloom Dead", "Letters From The Wasteland", and a couple more songs.

I rank the albums like this:

1. Rebel, Sweetheart (2005)
2. Bringing Down The Horse (1996)
3. Red Letter Days (2002)
4. Breach (2000)
5. S/T (1992)

Couldn't have said it better myself.

hart214: Looks like you enjoy a fair amount of alternative rock. REM and Sonic Youth may have started it, but bands like Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, and The Jesus And Mary Chain are renowned for their post-punk influences. And if you enjoy The Beatles, you should check out The Kinks. None of these should be difficult to find.
