I know everyone's saying it at the moment, but Alabama Shakes really are fucking fantastic. Best new band of the last ten years, I reckon.

So does anyone have any albums coming out this year they're excited for?

Personally, I'm excited for new:

Nas

RA The Rugged Man (hopefully)

Run The Jewels

Wu-Tang (hopefully)

Outkast

Schoolboy Q

Czarface 2 (Inspectah Deck & Esoteric)

Capital Steez

This man, Sixto Rodriguez.

[Caribou]

^ One of my favourite albums ever.

[Caribou]

In fact, Rodriguez is playing the next city over from me next month. It's gonna be pricey between the ticket price and the travel, but there's a good chance it's the last time he'll play the UK so I might have to look into selling a kidney...

I've recently been getting into a lot of The White Stripes, Radiohead, and some pretty rad folk music, which is neato. What's everyone else listening to right now?

[Till]

I've been listening to a lot zebrahead recently, also have seen them live in January. Also some Hendrix, since I own a vinyl record player and found some treasures at the basement. Also a lot of Offspring. Gonna se em in July at Rock im Park Festival. But mostly I am much into german alternative again the last time.

If you ever get the chance, do it. He might not be around much longer.

Rap used to be good

...And then aliens rewrote history and it wasn't any more?

90% of all music, in all styles, has always been crap. There's just so much more of it around everywhere these days that you have to look a little harder to find the good stuff. Avoiding radio and TV and going looking for it in a live music scene is always the best way to start - I personally know some absolutely fantastic rappers, and I don't come from a big hip-hop city by any stretch of the imagination.

You should add the music genre: Parody

That is my favorite music genre.

[Caribou]

If we're adding new categories, I'd sooner see Soul and Reggae, personally...

[Till]

I already added some categories some time ago. The stupid thing about it was that if you edit the poll, the results up to now are lost..

Jazz is missing...

There's no grunge in the categories...

Resurrecting a nearly dead thread because I can

After several listens, I am now convinced that YG's My Krazy Life is the best West Coast Hip-Hop album of the decade

I'd like to share two artists I've been listening to a lot recently and would love to hear what you guys and gals think about them.

Yall fuck with Jay-Z?

[Caribou]

I tried to once, but he had me shot in a New York alleyway. I've kept my distance since

Eh why not. I never usually post on the forums but heck i should.
Check out Russian Circles, a metal-instrumental trio. These guys are so amazing, there are songs that are so peaceful sounding and then following tracks sound like the universe is getting ripped apart lol.

Here are some of my personal favorites by them

Mladek - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONzYMVrhTyk
Youngblood - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh5ni5L-MSc
Memoriam/Defecit/1777 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klVU-O5M-jA (the first three tracks on this album, they just flow together so well.)

I love a lot of rock stuff
