Yeah well, one can´t like everything
I certainly can´t listen to everything either in that field, but really love the more melody-driven bands (even though Godspeed is right on the edge with some songs) like Explosions In The Sky. That band in particular I could listen to for days … Driving the

Have you listened to “Neon Golden” by the Notwist? Even better (albeit different) than Devil imo and deservedly high praised.
