Starsailor - Love is Here - fantastic album, and a wee bit like Radiohead (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Streaming audio at www.starsailor.net ("http://www.starsailor.net") - some tracks from the album - Coming down & Love is Here.

Also, the Coldplay one (Parachutes) is top-notch, the new Travis one is pretty good - their first one, Good Feeling, is really good too, although their style has changed a lot since(it's from their 'new Radiohead' phase (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) ).

the Embrace one is a bit dissapointing though, so is the Shed 7 one (Truth be Told).

I think the new Ian Brown one is out about now... also the Charlatans (Wonderland), which has some bostin' beats (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Or, go for the classics - Seahorses, Dodgy, Verve (especially Urban Hymns and A Northern Soul), Sotne Roses (second coming is ace), or maybe even the new Paul Weller live one (Days of Speed)....

or try Soulwax (Much against Everyones Advice), who are remarkably good for belgians (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Hmmm, if you like RH then you might also like Muse, they're very talented.
I'm a big fan of Jeff Buckley as well (he's got an amazing voice) but I think it's an acquired taste.

Not quite the same vibe; System of a down's new album is pretty damn good but DL a few mp3's and give them a listen before you go out and buy the CD (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

No Doubt, Machines of Loving Grace, Godsmack, Rammstein, and, well... I doubt your into it too, but Enigma is cool.

Now be gone!

Post by: wEvil on October 19, 2001, 11:23:00 am: well...you might try looking for some of radioheads' older stuff..

My iron lung (EP) has some B-sides on it and Pablo Honey was their first album.

Other that that i cant help you much cause after a year of radiohead i went electronic..

in that respect id recommend DJ Tiesto and Paul Oakenfold as some of the best music you can get hold of in the genre.

Also take a look at Trace Control and Nathan Profitt on mp3.com - freebie stuff but well worth a look
