The best band almost nobody has heard of in the history of mankind. You have to wait for the payoff in Good Morning Captain, but listen to the whole thing.

Slint Good Morning Captain

I MISS YOU!!!

"Spiderland" is one of the best albums ever. The genesis of both math-rock and post-rock.

Dave Pajo has always been a musical genius and underrated guitar god. His works with Slint, Tortoise, M, Aerial M, Papa M and eventually Pajo have gone tragically under the radar.

Slint somehow manage to be so cohesive and yet you can hear traces in them from as disparate bands as Codeine (minimal, slightly grunge-inflected slowcore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOtR214_hkw) and Shellac (tight discipline noise-rock gods: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm-yZ05u6co).

Though to be fair Steve Albini (of Big Black, Rapeman and Shellac fame) did produce the first Slint album (and indeed "Carol" from that album shows that the admiration and influence was mutual, sounding as it does very obviously influenced by Albini's work, sounding as it does like a Big Black song with a live drummer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft12x0Ggzfs) which may go some way to explain the similarities in sound.

Mr. Albini in his finer days. Those nerds kick some major a$$.

Albini also produced the jesus lizard who are the single best band I ever saw live.

Listened to Meatloaf sing before the AFL Grand Final yesterday... to say he was a shadow of his former self is over-hyping the tuneless drivel he dished up... not even gravy could make the loaf better.

Some blues:
Mississippi Fred McDowell - Goin' Down to the River
Robert Johnson - Cross Road Blues (A horrid animation)
Blind Lemon Jefferson - Black Snake Moan

And some others:
Jens Lekman - An Argument with Myself. I think he's still based in Melbourne.
The Middle East - Land of the Bloody Unknown. A Townsville collective, released their debut LP in April and, sadly, broke up in August.
Syd Barrett - Dark Globe
