obscure bands no customs of… union underground
But there is their biggest hit Across The Nation on here. I mean yeah they have other songs, but that is their hit haha.
Just poppin’ in to say that it’s nice to update this thread with more and more songs that I and others who aren’t me publish. Today I got to add a Joel Plaskett song that I collaborated with MrPrezident on into the thread and a great Wombats tune that I wanted but didn’t have to make, thanks to BornGamerRob. Dope!
Also, this is my suggestions thread. So, please, don’t suggest suggestions for me to suggest.

I’d love to see some Jean-Luc Ponty songs from the albums Cosmic Messenger, Fables, Enigmatic Ocean, Civilized Evil or a Taste for passion.
The artist IQ also got some pretty cool albums I’d love to see: Frequency, Are You sitting comfortably? and Tales from the Lush Attic.
Personally I just play drums and consider picking up keyboard. I would LOVE to see songs from these amazing albums to be made for Rock Band 3!
Hi, is this a thread where I can request songs/albums?
No.
Moving on…
In the past 6 months, many more songs initially featured years ago in this thread have been released. Do you have a song you want to get into the game? Then learn to author! If I did it, so can you!
American Aquarium
Background: I only began listening to American Aquarium in the past year or so, but they’ve dominated my scobbles since then. I got to see them perform live last year and it was enthralling. Singer/songwriter BJ Barham is enrapturing when on stage (and an awesome dude off-stage!) and I highly recommend you catch their show if they come to your area! Today I got an email about them coming back to town this spring, and in anticipation of seeing them perform for a second time, I put on six of their albums while at work and landed here to share these recommendations with you.
The Obvious Choice:
The World is On Fire
Album: Things Change (2018)
I got a baby girl comin’ in the spring
I worry ’bout the world she’s comin’ into
But she’ll have my fightShe’ll have her mama’s fire
If anyone builds a wall in her journey, baby, bust right throughI was enraptured the first time I heard this song, and it was the tune that got me into the band. The lyrics are so compelling and depressing and hopeful, which is the exact cocktail I need after a long day of living in this increasingly chaotic, unpredictable world. I can’t deny that it helps that the song is (heavily) implicitly anti-Trump.
Vocals: Male lead with female harmony accompanying. I love BJ’s voice so much, and this song showcases the gravitas he brings to the band’s music.
Guitar: Gorgeous pedal steel guitar and a solo to boot.
Bass: Somber and nothing special.
Drums: Simplistic but intense.
Keys: Hammond Organ, of course.
Miscellaneous: Crisp ending.Runner-Up:
Burn.Flicker.Die.
Album: Burn.Flicker.Die. (2012)
Every now and then she still crosses my mind
And by every now and then I mean most of the time
By every now and then I mean all of the time…A moving song about mortality and love. In the past year, BJ has rapidly become one of my favorite lyricists, and this song is a great example of why.
Vocals: Some good opportunities for drunken sing-alongs with your friends. Just try not to get emotional!
Guitar: Standard alt-country stuff.
Bass: Basic but it should keep your interest.
Drums: A bit more interesting than above. Your heart should be pounding.
Keys: Some sparse organ hiding in the background, but nothing necessary for full-banding.
Miscellaneous: Crisp ending.The Personal Favorite:
PBR Promenade
Album: Dances for the Lonely (2009)
Your blue eyes like a lighthouse on that dark, deserted shore
And I am just a broken ship at sea…First things first: Pabst Blue Ribbon has a bad reputation, but it isn’t awful. In fact, increasingly, when I go to shows that’s the beer I’ll get, because it’s cheap and inoffensive. Second things second: this song is about as country as I get, and I love every minute of it.
Vocals: Very sparse harmonies. The melody is the star this time.
Guitar: Whining and somber, but of course there’s a delightful solo.
Bass: Basic.
Drums: Basic stuff.
Keys: None.
Miscellaneous: Crisp ending.The Change of Pace:
Tellin’ a Lie
Album: The Bible & The Bottle (2008)
And your blue eyes like a lighthouse on that dark, deserted shore
And I am just a broken ship at sea…Well, I accidentally chose three real downers for the above choices, so I wanted to pick up the pace with something faster and fun. This one is guaranteed to getcher body movin’!
Vocals: This one is much more about the instruments than the vocals (for once), so let the band rock while you sing along.
Guitar: An upbeat alt-country fair with an awesome solo!
Bass: Bouncy and fun!
Drums: Fun and interesting!
Keys: Lots of organ, an organ solo, piano, a piano solo, and a violin solo. Everything is happening.
Miscellaneous: Big rock ending. Because obviously.obscure sure. more small time canadian
was in the soundtrack to eurotrip and oldschool
the salads – get loose
