The Material is decent, I don't know why I can't get into Portugal the man. Now feeling brand new at all. Arctic Monkeys are fun but I wouldn't listen to them very much. Silversun was a good suggestion thank you!

I really like Sigur Ros, I wish I knew what he was saying though haha. Grizzly Bear is good, Muse is ok but I have never been able to get into them much.

I got my HD25's today and wow I am in love with how my favorite bands sound so far!

I've really been enjoying Elbow's The Seldom Seen Kid.

YouTube - Elbow - Grounds For Divorce
YouTube - Elbow - The Bones Of You

They won the Mercury Prize in 2008 (best album from the UK), and the sound quality is excellent.
