RIP Levon Helm, drummer of one the seminal groups of the last 50 years, The Band. A wonderful voice, a great musician, and a great human being.

Just yesterday I was watching Last Waltz (again). Couldn't help but shed a tear (ok, a lot of them). Loved the heart he put on stage.
I'm 22 and I was very surprised when I first listened to them. How can something that good not get enough recognition these days? I couldn't find yet one person here who knows them or their work. Even though the majority of my acquitances weren't around during their most notorious time/original formation, It's still a bit shocking.
I'll also leave a little contribuition to the thread. I've been listening to:
Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside - Not an Animal.

Slow Club - Two Cousins (cover)

The Kills - Future Starts Slow
