chill bands

[Elite]

I'm going to add to pissedandpiereced's list which is good!

Air
Crazy Penis
Massive Attack
Portishead
Zero 7
Isan
Lemon Jelly
Morcheeba
DJ Shadow
St. Germain
Thievery Corporation
Groove Armada
Baby Namboos
Fun Lovin' Criminals
De La Soul
Sneaker Pimps
The Avalanches

I really recomend The Avalanches. They are from Australia and they are brilliant! Since I left You record is just amazing and beautiful.

[Jerry_Curls]

Whoever mentioned Royksopp gets cool points from me :-)

Other "chill" bands are:
-Stereolab
-Blonde Redhead
-The Gotan Project
-The Radio Dept.
-Ladytron

[Juicy Fruit]

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Oceansize. I know some of their songs have sort of heavy riffs but a lot of it is very chilled out, I Am The Morning, Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs etc.

[these hopes fall]

Mono is one of the best post rock bands.
Her Space Holiday is wonderful and here are a few more honorable mentions:

Hammock
Pelican
My Dad Vs Yours
Eluvium
Ef
September Malevolence
Saxon Shore
Moving Mountains

[neurotic]

tori amos
tena novak

[333tone]

Arab Strap are very cool

[Uno]

Team Sleep

[wheresmysnare]

calibre second sun album - chilled out lofi drum and bass made by some irish (of all places) producer)
david gray discography - actually pretty good even though he is considered terminally uncool
Burial self titled - some weird, slightly too dark to be considered chill songs from some gutter in london

[Oldnewtype]

[bright lights, big city]

between the buried and me

definitely one of the best bands out there
