Lately I've been listening to the Silversun Pickups. Man, those guys are awesome. Most of the stuff on Swoon is not as good as their earlier stuff though. The songs I'm listening to are "
Well Thought Out Twinkles", "
Lazy Eye", and "
There's No Secrets This Year".
Plus, they have a girl bassist. I love girl bassists.
Speaking of which, I've also been listening to the Smashing Pumpkins as well. Siamese Dream was such a great album. It has to be one of the greatest debut albums of all time. As to their girl bassists, D'Arcy was pretty cool until after she started having addiction problems. Then they got Melissa, and she's pretty awesome.
Also, I've been listening to The Temper Trap lately, they're a new Australian band that have some
really great sounding stuff.
I think that Siamese Dream, Silent Alarm (Bloc Party), and Conditions are three of the best debut albums post-1990. I mean, every song on those albums are great. There are no filler songs. It's awesome.
