If you like Queens of the Stoneage (imho it's a bit more Kyuss even, but that's a sacred band so let's not compare it to them), I'd recommend this:

[url= http://3voor12.vpro.nl/tv/#/41129552/44218814/2 ]http://3voor12.vpro.nl/tv/#/41129552/44218814/2[/url]

Just bite through the first 1,5 minute introduction gobble in Dutch. It's a Belgian band called triggerfinger whom I had never heard of, but their latest single and album 'all this dancin' around' truly sounds reallygood. They are also compared with Led Zep sometimes, but I don't really get that one.

p.s. good website to listen/look at some concerts as well.

+1000

Check out John Grant's The Queen of Denmark. Midlake produced the album and it's just fantastic

May I heartily endorse BoardinBob's suggestion of John Grant's 'Queen of Denmark'.
It is my album of the year - no argument.

In fact, here's a tip....go buy the music magazines such as Mojo, the Word, Uncut and so on. Their January issues (out around now) will have top lists for 2010, which may give you some guidance if you wish to do some compare/contrast exercises.

FWIW, Mojo's number 1 album of 2010?........John Grant's 'Queen of Denmark'.

Happy listening.

I'm listening to this [url= http://www.waltertown.com/ ]An open letter to the scene[/url] while getting excited about the return of Rival Schools, but that's probably just me.

As for people moaning about Biffy, they made records, they still make records, they used to be a little more obscure, they focussed their style a bit more, they still make cracking albums, and yes I do love Vertigo of Bliss, but seriously get over yourself ๐Ÿ™‚

I'd second listening to a bit of 6 music too, apart from the Huey Morgan show, there's just something not right about that.

Some older stuff:

The last Half Man Half Biscuit album, CSI Ambleside is superb, as is Neil Hannon & Tom Walsh's Duckworth Lewis Method album.

Try these.
The Gaslight Anthem.
these aren't the longest of albums, but very good IMHO.
THE '59 SOUND, and American Slang.
