Elliott Smith tunes are usually a whole step down with drop tunings as well.
Pretty rad

Check out Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or BRMC for short. A lot of my favorite bands use open c or some sort of c tuning. The Kills, Qotsa, Soundgarden, and BRMC.

Don't forget Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Also, The Gossip.
And a recent fav, True Widow.

I have a guitar in double drop Bb atm cus I wanted to play "Ohio" by Neil Old last night, and don't have a guitar with strings that are light enough to do double drop D. May put it in Bb equivalent of DADGAD and jam on Kashmir for a bit.

Really isn't on topic but

Definitely was. I'm seriously considering using it for everything from now on!

I know it was already mentioned but if the Kills can be mentioned 5 times then this whole thread should be devoted to Sonic Youth.
