Both God is an Astronaut and Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia are awesome. I can spend days listening to the God is an Astronaut albums on loop. Not to mention they are great background music for studying philosophy. As to the others (other than the two more popular listed) I haven't heard of them. Maybe I will...

Here is my Last.fm music profile if anyone is interested. I only use the program to find new music, for which the program is outstanding. Some off my favorite bands were found through the similar artists listings.

The National is probably my favorite band. I also like Okkervil River, Of Montreal, Explosions in the Sky, Radiohead, Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Wilco, Modest Mouse, Pavement, TV on the Radio, Nirvana, The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Hendrix, and much more...

Coldplay is too soft. Give me some queen, ACDC. Yeah.

If you like Meanwhile back in Communist Russia, you're bound to like Antennas to heaven. It's the same as MBCR, but with a male voice instead of female.

Very inspiring. I think I might be starting to gear away from lyrics, as I become independent.

Can anyone recommend any other music along that song.

I like all sorts of music. I'm a huge Robert Johnson fan, and listen to a lot of blues - Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf sort of stuff. I also dig on some jazz; Coltrane, Miles, Gillespie, Monk. As a drummer, big band jazz always captivates me. Louie Bellson and Buddy Rich are favorites.

I was born in the 80's, but I get the feeling I'm a child of the 60s. The old school funk and rhythm and blues are inspiring. Dylan, the Doors, and all the white boy blues bands - Cream, Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mack.

There isn't a genre I outright dislike. With enough whiskey, I'll jam bluegrass all night. Huge reggae fan, especially Peter Tosh and Toots and the Maytalls (well, and Marley, obviously).

I was never a big Linkin Park fan, but I can enjoy some of their tunes from time to time. Their collaboration with Jay-Z was interesting, and I like where they were going, but I'd rather throw on some 311 and really get things going.

We have very similar tastes DT. I also love the blues, especially the old chicago style, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Luther Allison, Willie Dixon, and others. Now, I'm really getting into that deep south juke joint sound, R.L. Burnside, T-Model Ford, etc.

I do like a good deal of rap: Outkast, Cee-Lo, Jay Z, The Roots, Aesop Rock....

I love old school R&B. I could listen to Al Green all day. I also like Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, The Spinners, The O'Jays, Chi-Lites, a newer guy named Jamie Lidell and others.

Rock, I get into more indie stuff. Favorites would be Tom Waits, Beck, Spoon, The Black Keys, Wilco, Ryan Adams...

The Roots are definately the best rap group out there. Other than the Roots and Deltron 3030 I have not found much good rap out there. Much rap to me is little more than a strong representation of what is wrong in American society.

Modern radio rock is much more representative about what I hate about American society. Radio rap can be bad, but at least it still has some connection to life; modern radio rock is a soulless corpse.

I listen to all genres of music but predominately "Hip-Hop", it's really not that bad if you listen to the correct stuff, early 90's for me was best, Wu-Tang Clan, these guys spread a whole lot of knowledge if you take the time to listen to it. It's a great form of poetry and expression, people like KRS-One and Rakim have a wealth of knowledge to share. I think the commercial side of Hip-Hop has ruined it's name. Their are many underground groups that make amazing music.
