I think the fine art of picking out a decent name for your band has died. Tame Impala <= wild stalyions.

I'm sure many on here would disagree, but this is a good mention. I have liked everything Justin vernon has put out. He also has the critical acclaim. But would this be more of a solo artist mention? Vernon is the mastermind behind all of it.


The dude in tame impala is the guy behind it all. Yeah, there are other band members but its his vision.

I don’t know much about Frightened Rabbit, but I’d be open to recs.

No thanks on Foals. They are just vastly overrated pop rock imo.

The Midnight Organ Fight is Frightened Rabbit’s high point in my book, and I believe that is the general concensus amongst most of their fans.

Pop is not the word I had in mind. Foals > Tame

Live performances are flawless


Probably one of the worst live shows I've seen by a headliner in the last 10 years.

needtobreathe is a better band than tame impala.

See how easy that was? I used a Christian rock band as an example.

needtobreathe wasn’t bad when I saw them a few years ago, but there’s really nothing unique about them

I started listening to them again after this thread, and I haven’t really stopped. I don’t know if they are the best band of the last 15 years, but they (really just Kevin Parker) are pretty damn good. So, bump.
