Good Music!
 
Heey folks I was wondering if you guys could name me off some good bands something like Modest Mouse, I like that kind of music any ideas?

Keane and Snow Patrol? Try those two.

Try the new Modest Mouse album, if you like Modest Mouse.

There aren't many bands "like" Modest Mouse, to be fair.

Try the new Kaiser Chiefs album, try The Kooks...

Goo Goo Dolls

Nelly Furtado

Madonna's American Life album. It's old, but great.

Yes and I like Smelly Tomato's album.....flames to dust....lovers to friends....why do all good things come out of your rear end

A less heroic form of Mighty Mouse.

I've only ever heard "Naive" because they kill it on the radio, so it's grown on me in a catchy manor.

You might like the Pixies.

Bands that I suggest that are good are Arcade Fire, New Pornographers, and Wolf Parade.

Typhoid 03-25-2007 05:06 PM

Re: Good Music!

What I usually do to find new artists is I go to amazon and search for someone I like...in your case Modest Mouse...and take a gander at "customers who bought this item also bought." There are also a few sites that will more accurately find similar music...although their names all escape me aside from Pandora which never really helped me any.

Big fan of most of those. Just went to Of Montreal in concert a couple weeks ago. Belle & Sebastian is a bit more hit and miss for me but when it's good, it's damned good.
