<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sasha:</div><div class="quote_post">I have only heard Beautiful Day by Venus and I never paid much attention to the Doves. You may wanna recommend some tracks...</div>
For
Venus,
Beautiful Days is a nice catchy one, but the real highlight is in their deeper tunes such as
Wanda Wulz and
Poison. Anything from their live album
The Man Who Was Already Dead is highly recommended as that album is the holy grail of musicianship to me. --

For the
Doves, as you're a
dredg fan I suggest taking a listen to
One Of These Days or
Snowden from their new album. I always find them inspired by the Flaming Lips for many of their tunes. --

Also check out
Under the Influence of Giants. They just released their first major label album, and while I'm not that impressed they still put out a good one by standards of what is released these days. --

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Voodoo Child:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm sure M Two One will have a lot more recommendations, but from what little I've heard, "Black and White Town" ad "Catch the Sun" are very infectious. They both caught a bit of radio play here in the states a while back, and I haven't taken them off of my active playlist since.</div>
Yes these are also great tracks; both of them are "radio friendlies." Also yes I have many more recommendations, but obviously I can't list all the stuff I listen to here otherwise I'll hijack the thread. Both of you can PM me if you'd like to know some more stuff.
