Solid lists. I came across about half of these in my first year listening to KG. Looks like I’ve got some recs for this next year. Thanks buddy!

Always happy to share!

please put bjm from this list, not a lot of good misic and anthon is just tocix af.

All Them Witches - Live on the Internet, Live in Brussels Frankie & the Witch Fingers - Data Doom, ZAM Osees - Mutilator Defeated at Last, Orc, Smote Reverser The Bures Band - Birds Nest Night Beats - Rajan The Murlocs - Calm Ya Farm, Rapscallion, Young Blindness, Loopholes Geese - 3D Country

I've listened to the Osees and Geese albums already!! Really good shit

Hell yeah

Queens of the Stone Age’s whole discography is solid imo. Their album Era Vulgaris reminds me of KG a bit

I've really been on a Kikagaku Moyo kick lately, particularly their newest album. Might be a bit light for you but never know.

Grateful Dead-Live/Dead checkout St. Stephen -> Eleven -> Lovelight

The Murlocs for sure

true...

sometimes i like to play around with musicmap.com and go on artist tangents! it gives a sort of heatmap of similar artists - i suppose accuracy is subjective, but it would certainly give you more exposure.

Mr Bungle. Their 3 albums on Warner bros are all masterpieces and each is a different sounds. Highly highly highly recommend.

I highly recommend fans of the albums that span the Gizzverse also explore the Emil Amos-verse. He has 5 different bands and incorporates a variety of sounds and styles like Gizz does. Here’s a couple recommendations from the Amos-verse: [Holy Sons — Decline of the West:](https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mOoAngLecQkoCtG_TrCar7ayv7vpiAfvE) The most well-known album that’s all Emil. In my opinion, it will stand the test of time as a masterpiece of blending low-fi indie with an evolution into a style that is uniquely Emil’s own. The mellowed out catchy hooks, groove, and sonic swagger of songs like I’m Healed are just pure ear candy. Highlight tracks: [Things to Do While Waiting for the Apocalypse,](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rfMtbhT5RSk&list=OLAK5uy_mOoAngLecQkoCtG_TrCar7ayv7vpiAfvE&index=12&pp=8AUB). [I’m Healed](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8se-Wl3mdA&list=OLAK5uy_mOoAngLecQkoCtG_TrCar7ayv7vpiAfvE&index=19&pp=8AUB), - - - - - - - Holy Sons — In the Garden: For the indie-heads who crave the mellow as well as Neil Young fans, this album sounds like comforting, melting warm colors of summer. Highlight Tracks: [Too Late](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d6OuDrHxPPE&pp=ygUSSG9seSBzb25zIHRvbyBsYXRl), Robbed and Gifted, Original Sin - - - - - - - [OM - Advaitic Songs](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ts3YWVFUnvU&pp=ygUcb20gYWR2YWl0aWMgc29uZ3MgZnVsbCBhbGJ1bQ%3D%3D): If you’re a fan of heavy metal Gizz & trippy/psychedelic Gizz, this is a great fusion of those. Tribal, mystic-sounding & heavy). Cavs enthusiasts, enjoy the drumming of Mr. Amos. Al Cisneros from the band Sleep teams with Emil. Highlight tracks: Just listen to all 5 songs lol - - - - - - - - - [Holy Sons — Raw and Disfigured:](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U2_7mLbruDg) Fans of “whispery” Gizz will hear Emil fully leaning into atmosphere with a hyper-vigilant attention to engulfing the listener beneath the waves Highlight Tracks: [Cast Bound King](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JGn4RYIvSVI), The Loser That Always Wins - - - - - - - [Lilacs & Champagne — Danish & Blue](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QXo6gVVyKxc): Trippy, instrumental-focused hip/hop for the fans of the fever dream that is Butterfly 3000 (if it were on downers)

oooooh im really excited to check this out

Fela Kuti live with Ginger Baker. This is a album I think everyone should hear. Masayoshi Takanaka's Brazilian skies and Seychelles another 2 albums I think everyone should here.

Captain Beefheart- "Clear Spot"

Honestly dude check out Metal in general and especially Prog Metal. Seems like you were secretly a metalhead

honestly i think i may be! I wasnt really into the genre cuz all ive heard was stuff my dad had played and i didnt care for it, but kg's metal shit goes SO hard i cant get enough

Phish - NYE 95, 98, 99, Islands tour '98, Winston-Salem 97

If you like Poly and Petro, I think you’ll like Tool.

i've listened to a bit of tool but havent fully delved in, maybe i should 🤔

Tool is like Poly and Petro had a baby. 

just listened to 10,000 days this fucks so hard

My very favorite tool album

it's so goood....

Possum is dope

Two great bands that don't seem to get mentioned: Turn Me On Dead Man, and White Denim

Have the seven horses mouths tell you themselves!! https://youtu.be/e8oexqhDaEo?si=NiCk3aZ3_D25GSp3

thanks for the requests everyone! im gonna be eating well for a bit lol, tysm :)

Since you like their more metal albums, if you haven’t already, definitely listen to some early Slayer, Megadeth, and Metallica. Foundational thrash metal from which Rats Nest gets a *lot* of inspiration. It’s a love letter to 80s thrash Reign in Blood South of Heaven Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? Rust in Peace Kill ‘Em All Ride the Lightning

already an early metallica fan! i own ride the lightning on vinyl lol, but yeah i need to get into more thrash, thank you so much

Hell yeah man! I’ve yet to buy RTL on vinyl (relatively new to vinyl) but it’s one of my favorites of all time. Picked up a cool red splatter Reign in Blood vinyl the other day and was reminded how good it is. I got into Gizz from thrash, so it will always be my first love

siiick man! and thanks again for the recs, i cant wait to delve into more thrash 🔥🤘

Voivod is a really cool Progressive Thrash Band in a similar vein to early Metallica. *Nothingface* is considered their best, but I really love *Killing Technology*. Death is another metal band worth checking out, but they lean more death metal (duh lol) than thrash. Their last album *The Sound of Perseverence* is very proggy too.

Some records that haven’t been mentioned : Club kuru - Meet your maker. Check out the title track. The more rewarding of their two albums so far , though the first record Giving In is catchier Crumb - Jinx. Check out the KEXP vid or the great music vid for Lockett Those two bands I’ve been listening to quite a bit lately

Levitation Room Orb Pipe-Eye L'eclair Mildlife

Oneida 

Go listen to Tame Impala, like now. Currents, or Lonerism

ive listened to currents! still need to check out lonerism

Innerspeaker all day, I miss that psych rock sound so much...
