The Smashing Pumpkins
Tool
A Perfect Circle

I liked Gish, and that is about it.

I remember when I had to special order Gish from the record store because at the time no one had ever heard of "Smashing Pumpkins"

I saw They Might Be Giants already up there but I'll put in for them again! If you are in or near Montreal checkout a local Ska band, "The King Pins", they have a great sound in French of English. Uhm - Modest Mouse is great too but make sure you listen to the original stuff not just what is getting airplay nowadays. Hawksley Workman is great.. Ermm... Ohya, The Slackers too.. another good ska band.

Enjoy.

PS: If you like the Strokes then checkout the Trues.. Trews.. Trues.. something like that - they are from out east and cousins of this girl I used to work with.. apparently a really good band but I never heard them play.

Something to get you started. Clickie only if you have itunes music store.

Excellent roll call, gentlemen. These are the best kinds of threads, barring any pissing contest.

Rocket from the Crypt -- man, these guys are such a blast live, and San Diegans to boot. And the Replacements, these guys as an ensemble were so damned talented it hurts; Westerberg soloing proves it.
