    - You are wrong!
      
      The La's self-titled (and only) album is fantastic.

  I reckon it's a monster. Better even than Sanctuary.

Oneida - Up With People springs to mind, what with that other thread being there.

Not that I've listened to much of their stuff, but I'm fairly ambivalent towards what I have heard. Apart from THAT riff.
In a similar vein:
Teen Age Riot
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
The Lovecats
Raining Blood

Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye

Badly Drawn Boy - Once Around the Block
Film School - Sick of the Shame

whacksiddy | 12 Aug '09, 23:52 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Definitely Lazy Eye
  
  I was gagging to hear some more Silversun Pickups after I heard that song for the first time. I was gutted to discover that they sound a bit like Wolfmother.

Prince-Little Red Corvette.

He's actually a great artist, but the rest of his catalog is shit compared to Little Red Corvette.

  How can such a terrible, offensively overrated band like that produce such a great track?! the mystery continues....

The big one:

The Rat - Walkmen

Also other ones:

St Anger - Metallica (I like the drum sound - true story)
Judith - A Perfect Circle I like the video more than the song to be fair, its by David Fincher:

    I've done this with EVERY single one of the their albums, many many times.
    
    THEY ARE JUST PLAYING THE SAME SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
    
    Just not as well as that one time....
    
    :-)
    
    So yeah, I don't get the Walkmen, simple as that really.
