doombox 4421 Posted May 3, 2016 I can't believe I never posted in this thread. Let's see what my most played list has to say in iTunes.* イツエ FACT Crossfaith ONE OK ROCK SiM back number (okay they verge on pop-rock but I'm counting them. ) CRYSTAL LAKE a crowd of rebellion coldrain WANIMA *This list is only accurate from 2013 on, when I got a new computer and had to reinstall everything from scratch. So I'm gonna list a few older honorable mentions: Pay money To my Pain ラヴィアンローズ NEW BREED cinema staff 2side1BRAIN 2 yakihiko and Tetora reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peffy 3568 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Hmm, since I got all up in VK in 2010 I've been ignoring non-VK stuff I didn't know before, so there won't be anything "new" in here. Also, since the thread says "bands" I guess I will exclude solo artists. BUGY CRAXONE Tsubakiya Shijuusou (椿屋四重奏) HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT Tokyo Jihen (東京事変) Yousei Teikoku (妖精帝國) ATTACK HAUS REDЯUM fra-foa GO!GO!7188 Janne Da Arc ... not sure if they count as VK or not, but I'm struggling to get this list to 10.. lol, 7 out of 10 have female vocalists maybe 8, cuz ATTACK HAUS had a backup female vocalist.

Unveil Raze is p cool I'm getting into Hone Your Sense as well And I really really really like Proxyon (thanks for the heads up on them @Tokage) I forgot to mention GNz-WORD originally too If anyone has any suggestions based on these let me know?? Because I am pretty interested in branching out from my VK hovel. @doombox you suggested Angry Frog Rebirth right?? Also is Last Day Dream worth checking out ?

Yep, I consider them similar to Hysteric Panic, though maybe a little less intense. X"D Nobody does it quite like Hispani.

Original Saku 1593 Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) 24 minutes ago, Tokage said: What's with all the people reppin' Cinema Staff? Are they really THAT good? They're one of my personal faves for sure. Some people might argue that they were better before going major, but in all honesty they've never put out a terrible album, all of their albums have been at least decent imo. Just a really consistent band that appeals to a lot of indie/alternative rock heads. Also not a lot people realize that they've actually been around since 2003...

They should be on everyone's list because of Satori alone. What an album! 45 years later and it still sounds innovative, original and unique. I've already posted in this but I want to do it again: Sigh Sabbat Framtid Gauze S.O.B. Mono Meiko Kaji Magnesium Boris Gallhammer Well, that's what it looks like today. Tomorrow it would look different again. THere's just too many good and even band to choose from, but Sigh, Sabbat, Framtid, Mono, Boris and Gauze would probably be on this list the next 50 times I make it too. The others however would probably be swapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
