Bandcamp is a great site, full of fantastic music that is easy to download nor does it require some kind of client, DRM free and available in plenty of formats both lossy and lossless. Recently they've also added a new Mobile app that you can download to your phone to stream your entire collection of purchased music. Fuck iTunes and the rest - almost every cent I've spent on music recently has gone via Bandcamp, and I don't see this changing any time soon.
To celebrate it's excellence, I propose we collectively create a collection of albums available on Bandcamp. The rules are as follows (rules are open to debate btw):
- Music be available on Bandcamp (duh)
- Music need not be free, but preferably all or most of the album must be available for streaming
- To keep out the riff raff and grindcore, music nominated must be seconded by another Fourtheye reader
- All genres and bands, new or old are welcome
The nomination/seconding process is easy. Just post an album you think should be on the list, and hopefully someone reading this thread will go listen to it, and if they like it will post something like "I second Artist X - Album Y".
Albums that have been successfully nominated and seconded will be listed by Genre in the post below. I'll kick us off with an album I know would be seconded by a bunch of you guys....
Discussion and nominations are welcome!
