Hooplah posted:So my taste in music has been expanding in the last few months and I was hoping to get some direction from you guys. I recently found the band Pinback and instantly fell in love (thanks to someone in the last rec thread). I've also been listening to Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You, recent Deerhoof albums, Have A Nice Life, and anything Team Sleep has done (which unfortunately is a short list). Basically, I'm looking for anything that has a similar sound/aesthetic/whatever you can think of that relates these bands to each other, or perhaps that branch out further into that(those) genre(s). Try Dredg, Mutemath, Dance Gavin Dance and if you like Coheed, try Claduio's side project "Prize Fighter Inferno"

Derised posted:I've really been getting into instrumental tracks from the likes of Blockhead and DJ Shadow so if anyone had any suggestions for anything similar to those, that'd be pretty cool Try MF Doom's Special Herbs series, they come in a bunch of volumes, or a couple long songs. also most RJD2 is in the same vein.

I want some more "white" boy funk, or modern upbeat funk like Chromeo or Jamiroquai. Also, some funk along the lines of Funkadelic's Maggot Brain (funky, spacey, epic as hell etc)Hooplah posted:Give La Dispute a listen. Quite a bit like mewithoutyou but maybe a bit harder.

CommissarRed posted:Can anyone recommend me some female rock bands? I've listened to Paramore and I really like them, but I'm looking for more. I like bands like Thrice, Rise Against, etc etc. I'd prefer bands along these lines rather than bands like Kitty and The Donnas. Heart, Heart, a thousand times Heart. A lot bands with girls (Like Flyleaf) are just a generic rock band with a girl thrown in for the sake of having a girl. But Heart? They define what it means to be a female, and to rock. I'd get Dreamboat Annie, but there is usually just as much love for Little Queen. Also, Metric. CharlesWillisMaddox fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Feb 25, 2009 |

Severed posted:I've inexplicably become a huge fan of Rush in the past few weeks. What started as a curiosity has really gotten out of hand and I ended up buying Moving Pictures, Signals, Presto, Counterparts, Test For Echo. I'm looking at picking up Grace Under Pressure and Permanent Waves as well. Most of their early stuff is good. Fly By Night, 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres and even A Caress Of Steel. Their self titled is without Neil Peart and sounds like typical blues rock of the 70's, but its still worth listening to I think. If you like live albums, I haven't heard a bad live Rush album yet, Different Stages is my favourite.

What are some good, modern pop albums? I've been listening to Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Lovesounds, and I'm convinced its the best pop album since the 80's when Prince or Michael Jackson released something.

This is more of lyrical themes, then a genre. But what are some good English speaking bands/artists, whose lyrics generally deal with the life in other, non English speaking countries, good or bad. (Like K'Naan and Somalia, or M.I.A about Sri Lanka)

I want some metal that's extremely fast/heavy with clean(not growling) vocals, like Strapping Young Lad or Death's last album. I also want some technical death metal, I have all of Death's, Necrophagist's and Decapitated's albums already. edit: I'm also not a very big fan of death metal, but I strangely like Cryptopsy a lot so any recommendations on that would be nice.

Final Fantasy Baseball posted:What is your favorite fun or summery-sounding reggae album? I'm looking for that, and if your first thought has to do with Bob Marley or 311 please don't recommend me anything. So if you're a reggae fan, and someone asks for some reggae and their first thought is the most popular reggae artist of all time, you don't want their recommendations? Alright I guess.. I'll just wait for someone else as it appears I am not qualified.

RollingBoBo posted:Lupe Fiasco! He became my idol and I like all of his tracks. His flow is crazy, the beats behind are loving great. I just love his music. Anything similar? Not too similar, but I've been listening to Drake's So Far Gone a lot lately and I keep thinking of Lupe Fiasco while I listen to it, and a song featuring the two of them would probably be pretty good. I also recommend either Dead Prez album and K'Naan's Dusty Foot Philosopher, based on lyrical content I guess. omgwtfitszee posted:Has anybody got a good acoustic band, similar in style to Meiko, that isn't too emo?

Dandy Cat posted:I have found very recently that I really really enjoy blues style music. I know it's bad to get musical tastes from Guitar Hero, but I really enjoy Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pride and joy is my favorite so far. I'm looking for more music that sounds like this. I guess it's blues, if it's not feel free to correct me and ram it down my throat etc. Get some Kenny Wayne Shepard, some of the best SRV worship around. omgwtfitszee posted:That was the most amazing suggestion ever. Do you have any more similar to that? I'm open to folk rock as well. I'm a bit new to the acoustic/folk scene but I love it. I'm just a bit tired of the same old emo bands trying their hand at acoustic. Nick Drake is some of my favourite acoustic music, but he is pretty "emo" as it were, except he lived, recorded and died by 1974, so it's not really "emo" music, just incredibly emotional. Emo kids also seem to love him, but so do legitimate music fans, because he's great.

I don't recall hearing any G Unit or G Unit member songs before, and the only 50 Cent I've heard was that song he did with Justin Timberlake and Eminem songs he appeared on. and whats some good southern hip hop? All I know is Lil Wayne, Bun B/UGK and Chamillionaire.

Three things. 1. What is some good modern funk, or funk like music? I've been listening to Prince's Lotus Flowers (which is really, really loving great, I'd place it behind some of his classic albums its so good) and Jamiroquai a lot lately. I ask for modern, because I have plenty classic funk. 2. I want some metal that is extremely fast and heavy, but not death metal and with usually clean vocals. Something like Strapping Young Lad. 3. I've also been listening to Butterfingers, and I like them and want some more Australian or UK hip hop (thats not grime)

I'm just now realizing that 80% of my favorite bands have female singers and I'm strangely drawn to that music for some reason. Some 'older' stuff I've enjoyed is Crystal Castles, The xx, Los Campesinos!, Architecture in Helsinki, The Blow, Mates of State, etc. Bonus points if it's rock, pop, or screamo. Metric, Asteroid Galaxy Tour, Scarling, Jack Off Jill, Sinergy, Bat For Lashes, Birthday Massacre, Lights, Circle Takes The Square (dual/alternating male female vocals), The Ditty Bops, Tegan And Sara, Janelle Monae, Pretty Girls Make Graves. Most of those are pop, rock or hard rock.
