Is it better to give or receive?

In the spirit of Xmas let's give this a try.

Best band I've tried to turn MB members on to (Give):

Nice idea.

Frownland and Drive hooked me on this Australian psychedelic band back in February.

My knowledge of non-psychedelic bands is trivial compared to most people here, so I haven't given many recs. But within the realm of psych, I did my damnedest to get Briks into these guys.

Receive: Goofle got me into Boom Bip and Doseone and MRDOOD (mad respect, miss the guy) turned my on to Madvillainy and Aesop Rock. Those were the artists who discontinued my closemindedness about hip-hop (Bianche, do you read?). Other than that, I found out about Keiji Haino, one of my all time favourite artists, from Jack Pat, now known as (if he ever visited) Cenotaph.

Give: Well obviously Wolves In Sheepskin. I mean those sexy mother****ers are everyone's favourite band on here by now. It's the truth man, I'm just glad they almost like it as much as I do.

I have to say, wolves in sheepskin was a huge turn on, in more ways than one...

I was recommended by somebody on here to listen to Spiderland. Now it's one of my favorite albums, so thank you. I also decided to check out AJJ due to this site.

My eternal rec is The Microphones - The Glow Pt 2. I cannot understate my love for this album. Life before this album seems like some dull nightmare.

That was one of my favorite albums the year it came out. Great stuff!

Personal question. Probably should be in The Sexual Experience Thread or at least marked NSFW.

Blarobbarg recommended me Igorrr, and now that's a favorite. Can't think of much else.

As for giving, well I only talk about the best bands, but no one really takes notice. Chokebore's the main one.

Mondo's only turned me on to Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound, Olivia Tremor Control, Love, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt, and Ultimate Spinach.
