Here are a few that I haven't seen on the thread yet...maybe they're more mainstream than I think! This thread will cost me lots of valuable time looking new bands! Thanks a lot!! :)
The Mountain Goats- southern California band, mainly the influence of one guy, who used to be mainly acoustic...
I'm well into my fifth decade and have many favorites including the Beatles, Steely Dan, The Talking Heads, older REM and The Pixies. More recent favorites include Lush, Cocteau Twins, 311, Radiohead and Coldplay.
