Does anyone know about any good compilations of old 91/92 rave stuff?
I'm thinking like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcoG96p1e8c
or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKoKadYgcH0

While I'm not aware of any compilations that have come out recently, Uncle Dugs hosts a show on Rinse.fm every Friday 11am-2pm GMT, however podcasts are available on the Rinse site as well. A lot of old 90s hardcore/rave/jungle classics being played out. About as close to a compilation of classic rave tunes as you can get.

Man, I love Unwound- too bad Leaves Turn is kind of the odd one out in their catalog, because there's a lot more stuff that sounds like their earlier albums. I think Trail of Dead's Source Tags and Codes finds a similar balance of abrasive/arty/heavy/pretty, as do a bunch of the Louisville bands like Rodan, Shipping News, June of 44... and of course all of these bands owe a debt to Sonic Youth and Slint.

Maybe this thread can help me. I've fallen into a rut with music and i need more variety in my mix.

My tastes are a bit weird, in my opinion. I've recently been listening to Boards Of Canada, Mux Mool, Locust Toybox, Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, etc. I used to never listen to electronic music, I just kind of eased into it. I had downloaded Boards Of Canada's Campfire Headphase and never actually listened to it for a year. Every once in a while it would come on via random shuffle and i'd listen to it. Eventually i became a huge fan and started delving into more electronic.

Before that phase i generally listened only to variants of rock. Lots of Canadian Rock too. I'm still a huge fan of bands like I Mother Earth, Big Wreck, The Tragically Hip, etc. A fair amount of alt rock as well. I enjoy good hip-hop too.

So with those tastes in mind, is there anything people can suggest to me? I'd love to discover more bands but i just don't know where to start. I have an awful habit of just skipping songs i don't really know when they come on instead of chilling and listening to them. I wish Canada had pandora radio.

I'm a huge Prince fan. I love funky, sexy-rear end pop music. What's some more music like that? Another good example would be Justin Timberlake's second album; stuff that's usually got a lot of synth and funky beats.

I have pretty much everything by Prince and his affiliates.

EDIT:

That seemed kind of vague so here's some examples:

That depends which songs off it you dig the most. If it's weird but at times beautiful stuff then try Merchandise (LP on Katorga Works), El Jesus De Magico, Dadamah, the latest Total Control - Henge Beat LP and The Young - Voyagers of Legend LP.

June of 44 was an excellent recommendation. be sure to check out Enablers (the SF band).

Venetian Snares.

I'd say, basing on your tastes, you should find Amon Tobin, Ulrich Schnauss, Undermathic and Venetian Snares the most acceptable, but other artists deserve their mention as well.

Future Sound of London's Lifeforms and Dead Cities sound like they're up your alley. They're best experienced if you totally immerse yourselves in them, but they're not accessible at all. Leave them on in the background for a few spins while you do other stuff before you try to really approach them.

I checked back a couple pages and didn't see anything exactly along these lines.

First, I want to expand my collection of classic and modern psychedelic rock and psychedelic folk. I'm familiar with Jefferson Airplane, early Moody Blues, Tame Impala, Devendra Banhart, etc. I know there are lots of big names and big albums I'm missing, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Bonus points for female vocalists.

Second, I want to get into hip-hop with solid funky live backing, especially if it sounds like dirty '70s funk. Anything like The Roots or OutKast.

I'm not big on folk, but here's some psychedelia.

Arthur Brown is the godfather of psychedelic rock. Some of his stuff is fairly poppy and accessible and some is totally avant-garde noise, but here's a few that represent him and his many different styles:

Fire
Nightmare
Sunrise
Time Captives

You might also be interested in the first few Porcupine Tree albums. Here's a few tracks:

Gong—everything they did from Camembert Electrique through You. Female vocalist Gilli Smythe rarely sings lead, normally contributing ethereal whispers and wails, but she and partner Daevid Allen were the heart and soul of this band, and you may also want to look into their respective solo careers.

The first two Nuggets compilations are an excellent overview of psychedelic and garage rock in America (the first one) and the rest of the world (the second one), and I highly recommend them.

Pearls Before Swine made some utterly gorgeous psychedelic folk, but Tom Rapp kind of sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles or badly-fitting braces, which I sometimes find very grating. This is most apparent on One Nation Underground.

13th Floors Elevators are pretty interesting, and have that distinctive "electric jug."

Silver Apples were one of the first bands to incorporate elements of electronic music into rock music, and sound at once definitively psychedelic rock and years ahead of their time.

Discussing krautrock would be a whole other post in itself, but in short late '60s-early '70s Germany is a goldmine for music on the more experimental side of psychedelic rock. I have to make special mention of Frumpy, because you wanted female vocalists, and Inga Rumpf may be one of my all-time favorite rock vocalists. Also check out ID Company, her project with Dagmar Krause (Slapp Happy, Henry Cow, Art Bears).

The Dukes of Stratosfear are XTC doing ridiculously good psychedelic pop pastiches and parodies. Even better when you're a connoisseur of the genre and can pick out all the various stylistic references to specific bands and songs.

Also really obvious, but I have to mention Pink Floyd as you didn't specifically mention them. Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets are absolutely essential psychedelic albums (critical opinion is pretty divided on Saucerful, but I consider it a criminally underrated album), as are Syd Barrett's solo albums, especially The Madcap Laughs.

Modern but lesser-known psych bands worth mentioning:

The Heads - from the UK, the kings of heavier, "rawk" psych.
Telescopes

US bands:
Bardo Pond (female vocals, bonus get!)
Wooden Shjips
Apache Dropout
Dead Luke
Brightblack Morning Light (the most relaxing psych band I've ever heard)
Magic Lantern
The People's Temple
The Gris Gris (probably the best 13th Floor Elevators-inspired band ever. Defunct, sadly)
Cave
Human Eye (easily the weirdest band you'll find)

Australia:
ZOND

Japanese:
Marble Sheep
Up-Tight
Kawaguchi Masami's New Rock Syndicate

few from South America:
La Hell Gang
La Ira De Dios
The Psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane (contrary to the name, it's mostly Spacemen 3 worship)

and a shitload of various bands/projects releasing stuff on vinyls, CD-Rs, cassettes and digitally.

If you dig Devendra Banhart, you should check out some of his most obvious influences (who also made good music unlike him): Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Nelson Angelo & Joyce, Lula Cortes & Ze Ramalho, Alceu Valenca & Geraldo Azevedo, Ney Matogrosso, Flaviola & O Bando do Sol...

Well, if you like Electropop, look into Alice in Videoland and Freezepop. A friend of mine actually got me into AiV awhile back.

Alice in Videoland - Lady Killer.

Freezepop - Brainpower.

Someone else you might be interested in, though she leans more towards poppy industrial (best I can really think to explain it) is Ayria.

The Haunted is perfect, exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

I've been looking up metal bands on youtube trying to get examples of what I like and don't like and it's apparent that I am way out of touch. Last time I listened to metal was in high school and most of it was 'nu'... so I have some catching up to do. Might just check out the metal thread.

For record though I love vocalists like Future Breed Maching [Meshuggah] but do not like December Flower [In Flames] but I can't really tell you why or what the difference is.

Hopefully not too vague a request, but I'm looking for some older music that evokes that kind of Amsterdam coffee shop vibe. Not quite stoner rock (not looking for Sabbath/Kyuss for example), but some good reggae recommendations (ex: where to start with Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals) as well as some good classic rock albums or songs in the style of The Doors "Light My Fire", Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" or anything off Green River by CCR.

Anything else that fits that same laid-back vibe is welcome too, such as old Jurassic 5, A Tribe Called Quest, RJD2...

I find it makes for great background music, whether studying for the GMATs or smoking up and playing FIFA with mates.
