I really want to get into these guys - "Landmass" and "Papua New Guinea" are amazing compositions but unfortunately FSOL aren't aging particularly well...
No, The Isness sounded like someone else. Really you want the albums
Accelerator,
Lifeforms,
ISDN and
Dead Cities. I think shortly after 1996 they disappeared up their own arses pretty much, and The Isness is the "result".

1. Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals - the band that got me realizing that political rock was still alive in '90's. I found this soon after Jamiroquai, and my tastes have never been the same. 'Like a King' might be the ultimate cause of my liberalism, as before that I still fell in-line with my father's conservative views. Also opened my eyes to the world of live music trading...which has led to most of ,y other favorite bands.
2. The Grateful Dead - introduced to me by my next door neighbor. "Ladies and Gentlemen..." remains my favorite live recording of the Grateful Dead to this day, and my interest in so-called jambands stims from my exposure to this.
3. Jamiroquai - the first band I picked out myself. I mean, my parents enjoyed CCR and the Beatles, but I heard "Emergency on Planet Earth" on some radio station, and looked for thier cd next time I went out. My introduction to music beyond my parents.
4. Paul Simon - along with my love of Ben Harper, Paul Simon is one of my favorite all-time songwriters. Someone gave me "Graceland" along time ago, when I first started drumming, and I've really loved his back-catelog (and his newest release with Brian Eno isn't half bad either).
5. Blind Faith - When I finally understood why people called Eric Clapton God. I've enjoyed Cream, and listened to his solo material, but it never really clicked for me until I heard 'Well Alright' and 'Presence of the Lord'. This album changed my oppinion about guitar players totally. I love the flurish Clapton uses, and it helped steer me back into Derek & the Dominos and Cream, which I'd left having heard 'Sunshine of Your Love' one too many times.
Plus, jazz musicians like Joshua Redman and Coltrane and Brian Blade, Charlie Hunter, Johnny Vidacovich and Bobby Previte. But that's another topic in and of itself.

Ahahah. I had to look up BroacLanders. He was a class act. That sign stealing faghat and holy shit, he was a wordsmith:
fagocratic homosity. That's a keeper.
Also, he posted in a thread about wrestling created by one of thefonz's numerous aliases. ;)

He he he, I'm going to give music crazies heart attack and go on record as saying I think music is a pleasant diversion but it should neither define your life nor hugely alter it. Sorry guys. Don't even understand musical genres let alone define myself by them.
