STIS: Thanks for the music recommendations yesterday, I've started going through the list. Thoughts inside.

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Apr 6 '11, 08:35

I decided to give each group/artist multiple songs so I could hear a bunch of the stuff.

So far:

Devo: Not bad, something about them isn't clicking with me, but I don't hate.

Joy Division: Pretty good so far, but I agree with the "production" problems that were mentioned yesterday.

Depeche Mode: Really love what I've heard. Definitely listening to more. Really good suggestion.

Semi Tangent: Having thought about it, ST is wrong. The best Cars CD is Heartbeat City. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:41

    - I *almost* mentioned this yesterday, but I wonder if he'd like that Industrial genre. - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:43
I'm not a Devo fan, but they were ahead of their time (at the time). Depeche Mode and The Cure would probably be your best bets. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:37 2
- yeah, Devo was a novelty. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 08:38 1
  - but they hold up great. (Seriously.) -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 6, 08:39
nice! Devo has to be put in context, I think. there was NO electronic music at the time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:37
