I'm looking for more stuff like Shiny Toy Guns. Their last.fm page suggested Soulwax, but I'm not really liking that.

I'm looking for absurdly hardcore, really over-the-top metal songs. Like "Dig" by Mudvayne or "Blood Red Head on Fire" by Big Dumb Face. But not really like Cannibal Corpse, which is just speed metal with growling, at least to me. I want something so angry it makes the listener uncomfortable.

There's this really amazing seattle duo called Thousands who makes some incredible fingerpicked folk music that i think would be right up your alley. Go here and listen to any of the tracks from the record, especially Red Seagulls and Everything Turned Upside Down to get an idea of how incredible it is.

This, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

The other guy who suggested Michael Hedges was close, but everything about that guy is so cheesy, the 80'sness of his clothing and his new age image is really off putting. No doubt, the guy had amazing talent but still.

I just heard Crystal Castles - Doe Deer, and it's seriously the best stuff I've heard in years. I've listened to a little bit of noise (I really like Les Rallizes Dénudés, especially that bass on 'Night of the Assassins' on Live '77), a bit of electro and almost no thrash (is this poppy thrash?) but this is different... the singer's voice is like knives in my ears and I love it, and that synth is so drat catchy. Though it has its moments, I don't really care for the rest of the album it's on, and the previous album was pretty silly. This song wails.

Anyone know of anything similar? (something not Deerhoof or Le Tigre or anything like that...)

I've had this song on repeat since I posted yesterday and I think I'm going A LITTLE CRAZY but it's all good because it's this song!

This is way way way noisier and erratic but it has the chiptune/synth sound, the female shrieking vocals.

A Place To Bury Strangers (and their previous band Skywave), Ringo Deathstarr, Swervedriver, Swirlies, Medicine, The Manhattan Love Suicides, The Drop Nineteens, The Charlottes, and Whorl are all really underrated shoegaze bands that are on the noisier, more aggressive side of the spectrum.

I agree with you on this. I tried some of their other music, and, meh. But this one song is the perfect collision. I don't even like this style of music. It's just this one song. I sometimes wish artists would recognize that one perfect song is enough, and make like a thrity minute version of the song, rather than trying to fill up the rest of the space with things that are not as good.

Not entirely undoglike
I posted this in the "Small/Stupid Questions Megathread" and I was directed here. Seems like the right place.

I like simple melodies, especially melancholy ones played on classic instruments. The problem is, I don't really know how to describe/find them. Whenever I've noticed a particularly nice tune it's usually the intro to another song entirely.

To illustrate what I mean, here are 4 pieces I like (IM being in there twice is just a coincidence, I'm not that into trance/etc. in general):
Infected Mushroom - Scorpion Frog (First 1m27s)
Infected Mushroom - Elevation (First 1m15s)
Tarot - I Walk Forever (First 25s)
Mythbusters: Exploding Piano (Heard in the background between 2:48 - 3:28)

So here's the dilemma: how do I ask for suggestions for something like this? Could you say it's part of a genre, a style of a specific musical group, or am I doomed to scour "classical music" until I find what I like?

So far I've been suggested looking for subgenres of "Ambient music" or simply going through services like Pandora (which I'd have to get a proxy for somehow). I'm looking into those but I guess my main problem is I'm not looking for a band specifically, but a type of music. Of course, if I could find a band that mainly plays this kind of music that'd be all kinds of awesome.

So I'm on a major hip-hop kick right now, more particularly latin-influenced hip-hop in spanish. I'm looking for more stuff like Orishas, Siete Nueve, Calle 13, and i guess intifada, to a lesser extent. I also really dig los de abajo and molotov when they're more rap-ish. any songs/bands in this vein would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really, really, really in the mood for (almost) ear shattering noisy, glitch music. Thinking along the lines of Crystal Castles and NIN's Year Zero album. I have a couple albums by Nosaj Thing, and those are really good; but for the most part I do like vocals to go with the music, if they work well. If not, whatever works. I checked out a few of the similar things posted above and none of them really met my fancy. Thank you :)

It's not exactly ear shattering but I'd check out Jackson and his Computer Band, he only released one album a few years ago and then he disappeared. It's a great album though, well at least the beginning and the end of it haha.

Also, as their name implies, Holy gently caress make some pretty noisy music. This song has easily has one of the best bass lines I've heard this year

One of the things I liked about living in Japan is that the music used in Advertisements was always credited in the lower part of the screen.

If they did that in America, I would already know about Jackson and his Computer Band which I apparently heard many times.

"John Gavanti" by Mars is a good album that you might like.

You didn't list any metal at all. And Cannibal Corpse is "speed metal with growling" to you, at least?

Sorry, but you're actually looking for really generic radio rock with a lot of yelling. Bands like this were a dime a dozen ten years ago. Spineshank, Stereomud, Nothingface, Flaw, Coal Chamber, Union Underground, Soil... this is the kind of stuff you need to be looking for.

What sort of music could I recommend to someone who is a big fan of the music from the musical Hair? It's a rock opera from the 60s, with clean guitars and prominent bass. It does have more traditional theatrical vocals, but those aren't necessary. Just looking for bands with similar sounding instrumentals. The songs range from slow spacey to more upbeat.

This video pretty much takes the two best/most well known songs.

Are you asking for more Nadja track recommendations, because I got poo poo loads: Numb, Absorbed in You (I actually prefer the original version in the split with Methadrone), The Bungled and the Botched, Bug/Golem...

If you're looking for recommendations of Jesu/Nadja-esque acts, then you may like The Angelic Process. Their songs are not that long (8 min songs average), but their sound is very Nadja-esque.

If you can stand some black metal, then I'd highly recommend Njiqahdda. I get huge Nadja vibes from them.
