[kiggidykev]

Cat Butt. What kind of music do they play?

[cmg4894]

I want the whole Sub Pop 200 disc..

1) For Nirvana's 'Spank Thru'

2) Soundgarden's 'Sub Pop Rock City' just so we can hear Cobain in the background saying "I wish I knew how to dance"

3) Mudhoney's cover of 'The Rose' is great on it...We can finally get Bette Midler!!

4) The whole thing rocks!!

[Wrathy]

I've never heard of most of them, but of the few I have? L7 definately.

[cmg4894]

Cat Butt. What kind of music do they play?

They play that early 90's Seattle thing...

[BTD1980]

Band of Horses and The Shins...please!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, Modest Mouse and Wolf Parade too.

[cmaskill9]

1-5 Sebadoh!!!
6 Fugazi
7 Afghan Whigs
8 Sunny day real estate
9 The Jesus and Mary Chain
10 Death Cab for Cutie / The postal service

[JoshVanHalen87]

how about some L7 and nirvana, i didnt like any of soundgarden songs, either way i dont know the other bands.

[woodwindpizza]

Nirvana, Death Cab for Cutie, L7, Soundgarden, and Sonic-Youth. :)

[sklus20]

Wolf Parade
The Thermals
Seaweed
Zumpano (early New Pornographers)
Sebadoh
Mudhoney
Arlo
Blitzen Trapper
Band of Horses
Red Red Meat

A lot of the big names like Dinosaur Jr, White Stripes and Bright Eyes I left off my list because almost all of their music is not on Sub Pop. However, I could have named 50 of those bands that I would be excited to see as DLC.

[Apollo321]

I feel really lucky that of all the labels, Sub Pop is the first one to step up. They have quite a few bands that I like (and I'm picky about my music choices, so this really is extraordinary).

The bands I'd like to see are:

The White Stripes
The Shins
Nirvana
The Postal Service
Modest Mouse
Rogue Wave
The Reverend Horton Heat
Soundgarden

Some of these bands have just one song that I'd like to see ("Psychobilly Freakout" from TRHH, "Lake Michigan" from Rogue Wave, "About a Girl" from Nirvana, and "Such Great Heights" from TPS), but getting bands like The Shins and The White Stripes are big wins for me.

(As a side note, does anyone know what the White Stripes songs are that Sub Pop would be able to release? When looking through their albums I didn't see them listed as a label, which confused me.)

[Croq]

Here's a few:

The Reverend Horton Heat
Nirvana
Sonic Youth
Flight of the Conchords
Modest Mouse

[Inaudible-Whisper]

Fleet Foxes
Flight of the Conchords
Death Cab For Cutie / The Postal Service
The Shins
Modest Mouse
Sonic Youth
The Go! Team
Foals
Iron & Wine
No Age

I believe it was one 7".

[Feelmirath]

Flight Of The Conchords would be the single best thing to happen to Rock Band EVER.

[eke826s]

Nirvana and Soundgarden mainly for me. I am not familiar with most of those bands although I have to admit that Cat Butt is one of the best band names I've ever heard.

I would check out other stuff by Modest Mouse, The Shins, or Dinosaur Jr. as well.

Patton Oswalt isn't a musician. He's a comedian. That would be an interesting Rock Band track to try and play.

[shaybo]

[elfreako]

Well there's Wolf Parade, then Wolf Parade, and a bit more Wolf Parade couldn't possibly hurt.

But seriously off that list, the ones I know I want:

Babes in Toyland
Band of Horses
Bright Eyes
Death Cab for Cutie
Dinosaur Jr
Flight of the Conchords
Handsome Furs

LOL...I forgot to edit out the stand ups. Sorry!

[kanrei]

Love Battery is missing from the list and they do a great cover of Pink Floyd's Ibiza Bar off More.

The Fluid's Tomorrow would be awesome.

The entire Afghan Whigs Congregation album

Mudhoney's Superfuzz Bigmuff

NIrvana Bleach of course

[pureebil333]

Turbonegro.

[geo2n2]

Hot Hot Heat & Flight of the Conchords

[DavidRS]

Definitely want to see some Conchords.

Apart from that, some Zen Guerilla wouldn't go astray. Did anyone here ever play Grind Session, even the demo? They had a song on that.

[FTM311]

Sunny Day Real Estate and Jeremy Enigk for sure. I am such a big fan of Jeremy and the SDRE stuff is classic.

[Ehfahq]

Flight of the Conchords

BINARY SOLO! 0000001 00000011

[jasonrosenbaum]

The Shins, baby.

[Sayburr]

My ten:

Afghan Whigs
Death Cab for Cutie
Dinosaur Jr
Fugazi
Hole
L7
Modest Mouse
Mudhoney
The Jesus and Mary Chain
The White Stripes

[JPSChampagne]

CSS! CSS! CSS!!!!

Also - before you all go getting your hopes up - READ WHAT RELEASES FROM THESE ARTISTS WERE ON SUB POP. With some of the bigger name ones, it's only a single or a promotional release.

[Apollo321]

I'm just now realizing this. Mostly I'm disappointed about The White Stripes.

However, things are looking up for fans of The Shins! :D

[sillystou]

L7, Modest Mouse, Nirvana, Sound Garden would be awesome. :D

[HeyRiles]

Top of that list is Modest Mouse, second is probably Soundgarden

[pong0814]

Flight of the Conchords

BINARY SOLO! 0000001 00000011

Baguette! Gerard Depardieu! Ho Ho Ho!


Seriously though, I want almost everyone on that Sub Pop band list.

those are the ones i enjoy to at least some degree... several wouldn't work all that well in the game, however.

[TheLovelyNoise]

Eric's Trip, The Helio Sequence, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Sebadoh, No Age, Low, Fugazi, Afghan Whigs and Band of Horses.

[LoopyChew]

While I know of one person on this list who shares in my love of CSS, is there nobody around who would love to play songs by The Go! Team?

[sillystou]

Oh, I forgot about CSS. I'd love to have them in RB as well. :D

[iagomonk]

Flight Of The Conchords would be the single best thing to happen to Rock Band EVER.

YES! I've been having very vivid erotic dreams about this ever since I realized SubPop was committed to submitting their catalog via RBN.

[coescastle]

Nirvana - About A Girl - the rockin version by the way. :D

[Andyy]

Don't mean to sound musically ignorant, but I've only heard of 11 of those bands because they've featured in Rhythm games previously or its the White Stripes lol.

I'd take any songs from those.

[KappaTI]

Afghan Whigs, Fugazi, Gutter Twins, and Wolf Parade would be incredible! I really hope Sub Pop actually follows through on this.

This is so awesome though! I never though the Afghan Whigs had even the slightest chance of being in the game, but with this announcement, it may someday happen! Hooray for "Congregation" being on the right label!

[striderblack]

Band of Horses, Death Cab, The Shins. And Soundgarden. Definitely Soundgarden.

[CamoTC]

My sig says it all.

[rockdawg-1965]

Mudhoney
Murder City Devils
Green River
Flight of the Conchords
Sleater-Kinney (Especially tracks from All Hands on the Bad One and The Hot Rock)

I think it's hilarious that the OP included David Cross and Patton Oswalt... Maybe that could start a new game... Stand-Up Hero...

[Runesmith]

CSS
Dinosaur Jr.
Fugazi
Nirvana
Rapeman
Screaming Trees
Sunny Day Real Estate
The Reverend Horton Heat
The Jesus & Mary Chain (only their last album was on Sub Pop, but I'd love to see "I Hate Rock n' Roll" and "I Love Rock n' Roll" from that record at some point)
Turbonegro

So many good bands on Sub Pop. I had trouble picking my top 10 choices.

[howieduen]

Arlo, Blitzen Trapper, Flight of the Conchords and Fleet Foxes would all be awesome. Probably Band of Horses, too.

[Beelzeboss]

Flight of the conchords that would be amazing....and how the heck would Patton Oswalt work?

[DexterDastardly]

Man, there´s so many great artists:

Bright Eyes
CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy)
Death Cab for Cutie
Flight of the Conchords
Foals
Fugazi
Hellacopters
Hole (more!)
Hot Hot Heat (more!)
Modest Mouse (way more!)
Mudhoney
Nirvana
The Reverend Horton Heat
Sonic Youth (way more!)
Soundgarden (more!)
The Go! Team (how would the 2 batteries work!?... wow!)
The Jesus and Mary Chain
The Postal Service
The Rapture
The Shins
The White Stripes
Wolf Parade

Now let´s wait and see what makes to RBN. I´m excited.

[Inaudible-Whisper]

The lack of Fleet Foxes love is disturbing. One of the best reviewed albums of last year, topping many end-of-year top album lists. If harmonies were introduced outside of TB:RB they would be perfect.

[MultiBeast]

I would be excited to see more Sleater-Kinney as well. 'Dig Me Out' would be a perfect full album for RB.

[back_blows]

I'd love to see Godflesh and Om.

[dsierra87]

flight of the conchords would be hilarious!!

[MisterSchulz]

Band of Horses
Blitzen Trapper
Dinosaur Jr
Fugazi
Modest Mouse
Sunny Day Real Estate
The Go! Team
The Shins
The White Stripes
Wolf Parade



Sebadoh
Sonic Youth
Fleet Foxes
Nirvana

[jr174200]

People need to understand that many bands on that list had EP's or non-peak releases done by Sub Pop. You can see their discography here - http://www.subpop.com/catalog/discography

Of albums actually released by Sub Pop Records, the list begins and ends with Band of Horses' "Cease to Begin".

When the Rock Band Network was released, I dreamed that things like this would be possible. While unknown bands are great to experiment with, the Network is so intriguing because music you love could actually come out in quantity on Rock Band. I love this album.

My favorite song for the game is probably "Ode to LRC" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to_dIQOPNwk and for those who love poaching GH5, "Cigratettes, Wedding Bands" is on the setlist.

Otherwise, Wolf Parade, Fleet Foxes and Flight of the Conchords would be fun. Oh and my one "anti-Rock Band friend" is obsessed with No Age so that would be hilarious for me to play with him around.

[QB8Young]

My Top Sub Pop Bands (that we don't have songs from):
Death Cab for Cutie
Flight of the Conchords
Fugazi
Hot Hot Heat
Iron & Wine
The Reverend Horton Heat

[pROm3ThEu5]

Wolf Parade!!!

...also Flight of the Conchords and Death Cab for Cutie would be acceptable

[Inca586]

Modest Mouse for sure! Especially since it is their early stuff that was released on Sub Pop

[YCFan282]

in no order

Bright Eyes
Sunny Day Real Estate
The Postal Service
Modest Mouse
Sonic Youth
Jeremy Enigk
Death Cab For Cutie
Flight of the Conchords
Fugazi
The Helio Sequence
Fleet Foxes

[A New Pyro Fool]

Am I the only person who just flat-out does not like Flight of the Conchords?

[funkydunkleman]

Am I the only person who just flat-out does not like Flight of the Conchords?

I watched their show when it first premiered and thought it was fairly meh, but any band that gets the Rock Band treatment definitely deserves a second listen.

[Tezemery]

Sonic youth sonic youth sonic youth sonic youth

[kitlerc]

Hellacopters, specifically the song "I'm in the Band" which was in GH3. I liked it, but not too many people I know did. :/

[knick9mm]

Some Reverend Horton Heat would be cool

[debo42000]

Mudhoney
Tad
The Fluid
Soundgarden (Full On Kev's Mon ftw)
Nirvana (Bleach)
Combustible Edison

[Chewie7213]

People need to understand that many bands on that list had EP's or non-peak releases done by Sub Pop. You can see their discography here - http://www.subpop.com/catalog/discography

This might be a little easier to decipher:

http://www.discogs.com/label/Sub+Pop+Records

As for my choices, maybe some Sebadoh, Ugly Cassanova, The Rapture, oh Wolf Eyes for sure, that'll be a great time!

Also, it'd be great to see Domino and Matador embrace the RBN the same way Sub Pop has.

[SonicRocker15X]

Nirvana, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, Reverend Horton Heat.... That's exactly what I'd love to see.

[LuigiHann]

I'm definitely hoping for some Flight of the Conchords. Those guys are hilarious, and a song like "Bowie" would be very funny to play in a game like this.

[packerfan8675309]

Flight of the Concords would be great. I doubt they would play very well but I'm sure they could find one that would be suitable

[mrjaysus]

Dinosaur Jr., Flight of the Conchords, SDRE, Sonic Youth.

I'm drooling right now.

[odd-props]

fugazi

[nk40699]

Bright Eyes
Death Cab for Cutie
Dinosaur Jr
Fleet Foxes
Flight of the Conchords
Fugazi
Iron & Wine
Jeremy Enigk

Wolf Parade

There we go! :D

[ShoTTySLanKiN]

Death Cab & Fugazi. Nirvana of course, no brainer!

[Stahlbrand]

One more nod for Fleet Foxes. That could be some surprising win with tracks like "Your Protector" and "Blue Ridge Mountain" leaping to mind.

[kanerules]

My Top Sub Pop Bands (that we don't have songs from):

Hot Hot Heat


But we have "Bandages" by them. :p

[JorynnRace]

Sunny Day Real Estate! And since they are doing that whole reunion tour, it would be fitting to have some DLC from them.

And Death Cab! Some of the drum work on Transatlantisism would be insane.

[howieduen]

Am I the only person who just flat-out does not like Flight of the Conchords?

The first season was a lot funnier than the second season, IMO. I think it's because the first season was mostly based on their stand-up routine, and they really tried too hard in the second season.

I thought it was funny that one of them was nominated for an Emmy for performance in a comedy show, but the other one wasn't.

[Sveppi]

Flight of the Conchords, no question!

[badhack0x13]

I'll settle for a top five:

Death Cab for Cutie
Mudhoney
Soundgarden
The Jesus and Mary Chain
The White Stripes

But if I could only get one band? The White Stripes.

GODS YES.

[JDtheprezOdent]

Flight of the conchords

[General Lein979]

Screaming life/ fopp greatest hits from soundgarden. Nirvana Bleach also.

[Gatorguy91]

Sunny Day Real Estate
Death Cab
Obits

And Many More

[BonyGrunt]

I really want Soundgarden, Nebula, and the Hellacopters first, but I'll download anything from a bunch of those bands if their material is released, such as White Stripes... (excluding anything on "Get Behind Me Satan")

[jayou521]

My Top 10:

Death Cab for Cutie
Fugazi
The Hellacopters
Mudhoney
Nebula
Nirvana
Soundgarden
The Jesus and Mary Chain
The Postal Service
The Shins

[Alonzo1948]

Nirvana
Soundgarden
Flight of the Conchords
The Screaming Trees
Sunny Day Real Estate
The White Stripes

[ArmsAreLoud]

Soundgarden.

FOPP AND HIV BABY MUST HAVE NAO

[hantomfx]

i would love some L7 and Sleater-Kinney. But most of all i'd love to have the song Not Happy by Jale

[neckermanncj]

The Shins!!! :D

[k-mac]

I definately want to see some Flight of the Conchords and Hot Hot Heat in ASAP.

[CommonCriminal]

Hellacopters.

[Sargehalo51]

Wow, I must be out of it. I'm not even sure what the "Sub Pop" genre actually consists of musically. However, I see that people are listing Soundgarden and Nirvana, both of which I knew to be labeled Alternative (more when they first came out) and later Grunge after that became a genre instead of just a movement/style.

[topperharley]

Sub Pop has said they want to put out their entire catalog. Pick you top ten!

Band of Horses
Iron & Wine
L7
Mudhoney
Sleater-Kinney
Sonic Youth
Soundgarden

(there were only seven that I would want to see a lot of stuff right away, but quite a few others that I would like to see a song or two from later on)

[overcookedbacon]

A significant number of the bands on that list have only one small released on Sub Pop. I'm pretty sure a few of them have no releases on Sub Pop at all.

For example, Modest Mouse's 1st single is the only thing they ever released on Sub Pop. Dinosaur Jr only has one single as well, and I'm fairly sure that Sonic Youth doesn't actually have any release on Sub Pop (at least not a significant one).

I'd say Sub Pop's artist list (http://www.subpop.com/artists/) is probably where we should all be looking, because that's in all likelihood the list of artists that Sub Pop considers to be "Sub Pop bands." I wouldn't be surprised if the smaller releases aren't put on RBN.

That said, the bands with significant releases I'm most looking forward to are:

The Shins
Sleater-Kinney
Flight Of The Conchords
Sebadoh
Band Of Horses
Chad VanGaalen
Sunny Day Real Estate
Iron & Wine
Nirvana

[Coolbutlame]

Band Of Horses
Nirvana
Dinosaur Jr.
Babes In Toyland
Death Cab For Cutie
Iron and Wine (first songs with no drum charts)
Screaming Trees
Modest Mouse
L7...

dang, just give me everything!

[Nitz13]

Didn't Realize The Thermals were signed with them. Just saw em last week at Virgin Fest, they were awesome.

also looking forward to

Sonic Youth
Nirvana
Soundgarden
Sleater - Kinney

[DookieMan]

Oh my god... Oh my god... FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS! Maybe my dream will actually be true!

[CamoTC]

Didn't Realize The Thermals were signed with them. Just saw em last week at Virgin Fest, they were awesome.


Gasp! I was under the impression that I was the only one on this forum who likes The Thermals!

But, yeah, only their first 3 albums were on SubPop so we won't be seeing anything from "Now We Can See". Though it is their weakest album, I'd still like to see a few songs such as the title track. :P

[Nitz13]

haha well I haven't really heard much of their stuff yet. I noticed them at the Virgin Festival here in BC. They put on a good performance and I really liked their sound. I will definitley be looking into them more though :)

[Cubanwhip]

Anyone who is extremely excited should tone it down a bit cause they only released two singles, with a total of four songs. Broke, Positive/Negative, Workin' On Leavin' The Livin', and Neverending Math Equation. All of them are fantastic songs and I love Broke dearly, but for anyone expecting Lonesome Crowded or We Were Dead are going to be sorely dissapointed because those were released on Up and Epic respectively. The only bands I'm really looking forward too are The Postal Service and Ugly Casanova because they're had full albums, and I tend to like side bands that have only released one album. Plus, they're side bands to probably my favorite bands of all time. Can't wait though!

[Xygnus]

Rapeman sounds awesome.

[Thunderfoot]

Rapeman sounds awesome.

It's a Steve Albini project. I doubt it'll show up in rock band, as Albini is a bit of a stickler for delivery method. I don't think he wants his songs downloaded from iTunes, much less Rock Band.

Also, Sub Pop will almost certainly not bring us Modest Mouse, The White Stripes, Fugazi, or Sonic Youth. Those bands released their primary work on other labels.

Also also, HOLY CRAP COMETS ON FIRE!

[yaniv297]

Fleet Foxes will be really awesome. White Winter Hymnal is the perfect sing along song!

Sonic Youth will be awesome too!

[pacifistWITHgun]

Band of Horses and The Thermals.

I need something to make me forget the god-awful Band of Horses pick for GH5.

[destruction3402]

Earth.

[Militree]

I'm pumped for these bands:

Comets on Fire
Constantines
CSS
Fleet Foxes
Flight of the Conchords
Foals
Hot Hot Heat
Loney, Dear
Looper
Low
Murder City Devils
Obits
Oxford Collapse
Pissed Jeans
Pleasure Forever
Postal Service
Red House Painters
Seaweed
Sebadoh
Sunny Day Rel Estate
The Postal Service
Ugly Casanova

RBN is going to be awesome for indie rock.

[Coolbutlame]

ok, well at least we get about a girl and shove... i was expecting more.

[carlos_el]

Nirvana :o

[Chainedsoulz]

CSS please.

[iamtheddrman]

Death Cab, Hellacopters, L7, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, The Go! Team, and The Postal Service for me. I'm scared for my wallet when this stuff starts getting released. The RBN will replace my Blu-rays in my budget, that's for sure!

[Sushipunk]

damn! Soundgarden better have Superunknown or Outshined as one of the DLC. If you ever played Road Rash for the PS1 you'll know those songs kicked ass!

also, Im excited about Turbonegro getting some in. do i suspect Final Warning? or maybe Sell your Body to the night? i hope so!

[iamtheddrman]

damn! Soundgarden better have Superunknown or Outshined as one of the DLC. If you ever played Road Rash for the PS1 you'll know those songs kicked ass!

Well, they did say they planned to convert their ENTIRE catalog, so unless that changes, it's not IF we get it, it's WHEN we get it :)

[cubbiefan23]

Oh my god... Oh my god... FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS! Maybe my dream will actually be true!

It's buisness time!!! :D

[redflagwaving008]

Sonic Youth, Nirvana and Soundgarden for me plz.

[majorz]

My A list, if a video game ever present substantial material (at least a couple songs by each) from this list I will buy it no questions asked : and probably buy most if not all of their songs.

Billy Childish / Thee Headcoats : A complete Headcoats album would get me to buy the game. *yeah I don't own it yet, came here because of that Sub Pop announcement.
Mudhoney : My fave band back in college
The Supersuckers : my fave band now 
The Reverend Horton Heat :


Then comes the list from which I would certainly buy several songs by each of these bands:

Eric's Trip : Insane drums here from Moncton Canada!
Gluecifer : Norwegian cock rock
Hellacopters : Swedish cock rock !
Turbonegro
Afghan Whigs
The Dwarves
The Fastbacks
The Makers
Chixdiggit
Gas Huffer
Supersnazz
The Thrown Ups
The White Stripes

Then, these bands I would buy a few songs but still…
Soundgarden
Steve Fisk
Tad
The Black Halos
The Constantines
Babes in Toyland
Nirvana
Radio Birdman
Screaming Trees
Seaweed
Six Finger Satellite
Sleater-Kinney
Sonic Youth: Isn’t their lone Sub Pop material is a split with Mudhoney on which they cover a Mudhoney’s song? Well, at least Mushoney got something really interesting out of Halloween.

And tracks from the Sub Pop 200 compilation and from the Sub Pop Video Network Volume 1 VHS tape.

All that with a big thank you from 18 years ago ... when I was 18 :)

[raine697]

Bright Eyes Flight of the Conchords, The White Stripes and Death Cab for Cutie are the only Sub Pop bands I care about. And maybe The Postal Service, though I don't know them very well.

[raine697]

Well, they did say they planned to convert their ENTIRE catalog, so unless that changes, it's not IF we get it, it's WHEN we get it :)

Keep in mind that list is bands who HAVE WORKED WITH Sub Pop. Meaning "at one point in time." So not every band has all their albums published with Sub Pop. Idk if you had this in mind, but I would hate to see you get your hopes dashed for a particular song.

[The Manimal]

Blitzen Trapper
Bright Eyes
Death Cab for Cutie
Flight of the Conchords
Hole
Iron & Wine
Modest Mouse
Sunny Day Real Estate
The Shins
The White Stripes

Anything popular or awesomely obscure would be great to have in Rock Band.

None of these bands are "OMG WANT NAO" for me. I will definitely pick up a few tracks from Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc when they come out. I wasn't aware that this list wasn't Sub Pop published bands, however. That's kinda disappointing, but I'm not going to be heartbroken if we don't see these bands on RBN immediately :)

[Chuck_Fiasco]

Nirvana, Death Cab for Cutie, L7, Soundgarden, and Sonic-Youth. :)

This. I hope we get "Sh1tlist" from L7.

[ThePaska]

They really want to put out their entire catalog? that is amazing! I would love to see:

Nirvana
Sonic Youth
Fleet Foxes
Band Of Horses
Death Cab for Cutie
Flight of the Conchords
Iron & Wine
Modest Mouse
Rogue Wave
Soundgarden
The Helio Sequence
The Postal Service
The White Stripes
Vaselines (The Way of the Vaselines compilation, 1992)
Wolf Parade


Couldn't decide on just 10...sorry

[a_bull_on_parade]

Soooooooo much I want, SOOOOO much.

Bring Matador in too and i'll starve for just so I can get points.....SOOOO many great bands

Green River, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Postal Service, Death Cab, Band Of Horses, Modest Mouse, The Shins, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Sunny Day Real Estate, Fugazi, Afghan Whigs, L7, Babys In Toyland, CSS, Sleater Kiney, Supersuckers

[overcookedbacon]

Bring Matador in too and i'll starve for just so I can get points.....SOOOO many great bands

If Matador gets involved in RBN as well, I'm going to be constantly broke for the foreseeable future. I hope they do though, I'd kill to see Pavement in game.

[timmay9]

I can't decide between SDRE and Sebadoh.

[jayou521]

From last months' Game Informer...


Q: Have you guys been thinking about a strategy in terms of how many songs you're going to start pushing out and which artists?

Sub Pop Guy: We've had some very base, preliminary conversations about it. A lot of it is going be determined by how long it takes us to input the songs. There's certainly some catalogue songs, things like Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick" that we'd want to get in there right away.

There are things that are timely that we'd probably want to move to the front of the queue. We're releasing all the first Sunny Day Real Estate records, and those are big guitar, bass, and drum songs for the most part that are pretty epic and I think would be fun to play. Also, [we have] things like the Shins and then more current things like Blitzen Trapper or Fleet Foxes.

The other thing is, even though we probably have the right to proceed with everything contractually, we generally don't do anything without talking to our artists, so we just want to make sure everybody's into it. I can't imagine anybody wouldn't be.
Hopefully we will see SDRE real soon after launch then

[EaglesBecomeVultures]

I really love a lot of Sub Pop bands but if I only get some Murder City Devils I will die a happy man.

[ElvishSpirit]

For The White Stripes fans -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_of_Special_Things_to_Do

This seems like the only thing that Subpop owns that is White Stripes.

Just like to point out.

Anyways...

Nirvana
Soundgarden
and whatever else I like. I can't determine right now.

[TeamAliceFTW]

Iron And Wine and Hot Hot Heat.

[vash9898]

Nirvana and Flight of the Conchords :D

[ElvishSpirit]

If they have any brains, they will release Bleach and Flight Of The Concords right away. It's their biggest records. Then whatever they want, most of these bands are from the early 90s anyways, and some of them will sound the same.

[a_bull_on_parade]

Babes in Toyland
Band of Horses
Blood Circus
Bright Eyes
CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy)

I'd much rather have the Beefheart originals.

[RedSkyReborn]

I would love to see DLC from most of these bands, so there's no way I could do a top ten, but anything from the Rev is a MUST BUY for me.

[roarvis]

Pond, Eric's Trip, Sebadoh, Mudhoney, Jason Loewenstein.

I will look forward to the Sunny Day Real Estate as well.

[JPSChampagne]

At the mere mention of Blitzen Trapper being in the list of bands they are focusing on first.... I think I peed a little.

I'd buy "Furr" like five times.

[riseagainstfoofighters]

Mostly Nirvana, The Hellacopters, The White Stripes and Soundgarden

[Creeps]

The Reverend Horton Heat!
The Reverend Horton Heat!

[IBNTTT]

Holy crap that would be pretty damn awesome.

Afghan Whigs - Dulli is a great writer, love this group
Death Cab for Cutie - They have many songs I would like
Flight of the Conchords - Business Time!
Low
Modest Mouse
Mudhoney
Nirvana - Uhhh yeah....
Screaming Trees
Sonic Youth
Soundgarden - I can think of about 10 songs off the top of my head.

[CaptainHowdySH]

Band of Horses for sure

[Brawndo]

I like The Shins, L7, and Modest Mouse and would like to see more songs from each of them.

However, if Sub Pop's enthusiasm here does not bring some significant Supersuckers DLC action, I will never be able to play Rock Band without feeling a little disappointed.

I need Born With A Tail.

[wursty]

Bright Eyes and Death Cab would be amazing!

[Jet Blank]

All I want is Flight Of The Conchords.

[universalguru]

#1 Blitzen Trapper
#2 Flight of the Conchords
#3 Fleet Foxes
#4 early Death Cab
#5 The Postal Service (not sure how it'd work though)
#6 The Thermals
#7 The Shins

To the OP, The White Stripes have never been Sub-Pop

[ferretgr]

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE is the only correct answer to this question.

Though most of those bands would be great.

[CloudWolf]

To the OP, The White Stripes have never been Sub-Pop
They never released an album through SubPop, they did, however, release this (http://rarebird9.blogspot.com/2009/07/white-stripes-single-from-sub-pop.html).


In 2001 the White Stripes were featured in the Sub Pop singles club. It was a subscription-only service where the lucky subscriber received a 7" every month for a very reasonable price. A six-month subscription in 2001 would have cost you $35. The White Stripes' Sub Pop single on Sub Pop now consistently sells for $250 on reputable online auction sites.

What "Sub Pop single on Sub Pop" are they referring to, you ask? That single was actually pressed in December of 2000. Party of Special Things To Do, pressed in red-and-white-colored vinyl, contained three Captain Beefheart covers. The Stripes’ version of the titular 1974 Beefheart song was its A-side, and their covers of Beefheart’s 1969 song “China Pig” and his 1980 song “Ashtray Heart” were on its B-side. Beefheart was such an odd and original musician that he made his friend Frank Zappa seem like a normal guy by comparison. It’s probably impossible for anyone besides Beefheart to fully duplicate a genuine Beefheart groove, but Jack White’s renditions of Beefheart’s songs are respectable enough. White’s versions are a bit more accessible but less vibrant than the originals, as he logically applies his own minimalist blues-rock style to that of the Captain.

Creepy Jackalope Eye that is all.
