This may get me laughed at but whatever. Anyone know of good J-pop bands in the same vein as Morning Musume other than AKB 48. Also similar groups to Gackt and High and Mighty Color. It'd be a bonus if they are on UK iTunes

eyebrow posted:I'm looking for some g-funk/groove rap similar to The Chronic, Snoops earlier stuff, the slower, less aggressive Three 6 Mafia, etc. Basically rap/hip-hop that's slow, with heavy bass, great production and some good flow by whoever's rapping. Lyrics aren't very important for this. Not sure it's 100% what you are after but Gangstarr has some good stuff that you might like. Also some of Wu Tang Clan and their solo albums might work for you too. I'd like some recommendations for riff heavy Hardcore Punk/Metalcore bands. I recently got introduced to Cancer Bats and Sick Of It All and would like more. I'm also interested in Japanese Metal/Rock like Mad Capsule Markets, High and Mighty Color and Gackt.

Rotor DX: Another song you might like by Radiohead is Idioteque Volger: A few of Faithless' songs might be worth a look though they are more leaning towards euphoria. Also Basement Jaxx could work. Also definitely agree with the Chemical Brothers.

I just got Mosely Sholes and Marchin' Already by Ocean Colour Scene, any recommendations of other bands to listen to would be welcomed. Also similar acts to Neko Case, I'm thinking about get Florence + The Machine's album.

Django: They may be part of your basics but if you haven't already you could do worse than the Andrews Sisters. They're classed as Vocal on iTunes but they appear along side the likes of Billie Holiday though they may fall more under swing. From Earth: The opening titles to an Anime called Cowboy Bebop is a track called Tank! by The Seatbelts. You might like that as it's very brass heavy, though I don't know what the group's other music is like. I'm looking for some good Korean music particularly female pop acts similar to Younha though I like Rock, Metal and Punk too but have no idea at all where to start with those as far as Korean acts go.

HateTheInternet posted:I'm looking for some music that's in the same vein as Oingo Boingo, Cardiacs, or I guess even Devo or Sparks. Quirky new wave, tongue-in-cheek stuff that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you like Devo try Polysics, apparently they're big fans and take a lot of inspiration from Devo.

Citizen Rat posted:Yeah, I know a lot of what I would consider 'newer' stuff and I guess some mid-aged rap (though, god, don't tell them that) but really early work is kinda a blur for me.

kinkster posted:Yeah, sorry. I mean stuff where you hear it and can easily say "that's japanese" or "that's arab". And foreign language lyrics. I love japanese music, though I'm kinda just getting into it myself. Everyone needs some Morning Musume in their life, at least once. It's pure pop but I love it. Pizzicato 5... not sure exactly what genre they come under, maybe pop too but not same the bubble gum type as MoMusu. Hamasaki Ayumi is another pop act in the Christina Aguilera/Brittany Spears style running the gamut from Rock and dance tracks right through to ballads. More punk stuff would be Mika Bomb, Shonen Knife both fronted by women (Mika Bomb had a token guy, Shonen Knife were all female) both of those use english lyrics but they're not in good english and heavily accented. Mad Capsule Markets you've probably heard of but worth mentioning because they're that awesome. If you like rap then Cibo Matto are good but very weird most of the time lyrically..

kinkster posted:That's just what it is. I wish I had explained it as such in the first place. Thanks for the radio link, I'll check that out. Yeah some of the stuff I listed is pretty mainstream and well known, like I say I'm just getting into it myself so I've not got into anything that could be seen as obscure. A few more I've thought of. If you like Devo then try Polysics who count them as an influence and are really fun. High and Mighty Color are a good Rock/metal band. Also if you liked Cibo Matto both Yuka Honda and Miho Hattori have both done an individual album but they are very different from Cibo Matto and each other. If you like Rock then Gackt is worth a look. Also it might be worth getting the OST for "The World Ends With You" some of the stuff on that is great. Talking of OST's a lot of newer anime series have great music, that's how I discovered HaMC, they did a OP for Bleach.

I just downloaded "Fantasma" by Cornelius from iTunes and like it so far, what genre is it (iTunes lists him as Rock but he's not there's bits of various dance genres in there I think and some hip hop) and who else is good in the genre.

Crono some of Nine Inch Nails work I think are "concept songs" but the only "concept album" goign by a quick read of Wiki is Year Zero, which I've not listened to. I'm looking for music similar to Cornelius, especially the track "Drop".

The sound of 'Drop' in particular reminds me more of the west coast American deep house sound like Kaskade or Miguel Migs, Naked Music, Om Records kind of stuff though. Thanks, I'm already a P5 fan but those are mostly great, not so keen on Kaskade but I loved Miguel Migs, Towa Tei and Takako Minekawa

DividedFrame posted:I'm looking for anything that isn't in English—the more obscure, the better! Something upbeat and poppy preferred, but I'm down for anything from rap to rock to techno, in anything from German to Chinese to Africaans. Go crazy! You need Morning Musume in your life, particularly their 3rd to 6th albums though they are all okay those albums represent the "Golden Age" of the group. You should look into the other groups from Up-Front Works/Hello! Project too like W and soloists such as Matsuura Aya and Kusumi Koharu the latter being facemeltingly sweet.

If you want something that's not pure chiptune but has Punk/Metal influences (specifically Electric guitar and Vocals) Try Horse The Band (Their EP "Pizza" is somewhat of a surreal concept album bordering on parody but it's still great), You Love Her Cos She's Dead and Colonopenbracket

Looking for Jazz music like Ai Kago's new album. (As a side note, if anyone knows where I can get it legally in the UK without it costing an arm and a leg it'd be great.) I tried Last FM but it's results were all based on her time as a J-pop star. I already have a Rat Pack album but I'd prefer female singers, cute accent optional. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSOeXoTQZSk

Moeru posted:I've been getting into Korean pop courtesy of Wonder Girls and Girls Generation. Any other female korean artists I should be getting? I know about BoA as well I'm not really familiar with K pop but maybe Yunha/Younha would be to your liking though she's a bit different more rocky and piano based than Hip Hop style. She's Korean but got popular off in J pop doing songs in Japanese but she then rode that success back in Korea. If you're picky about the language then the album "Good Day For Saying I love You" is in Korean and it's the only album she has on the UK iTunes the US iTunes also has an OST that has a few tracks from her on it.

Riven posted:I'm looking for some specific stuff: "I Can" by Nas springs to mind. Lupe Fiasco could work if you don't need the lyrics to be totally clean, goes double if you teach English as his lyrics tend to have layers of meaning. You could probably get a lesson out of tracks like "Gotta Eat", "Kick Push" (1 and 2) or "Building Minds Faster". SLR's just an awesome extended metaphor pile up.

Depends what you're into Anatharon. Stuff like Dragonforce would be the obvious Power Metal answer. But Mick Foley is sorta famous for listening to Tori Amos' "Winter" before a match, saying it's so beautiful it makes him want to destroy stuff.

I think this question is within the scope of this thread: I have seen 2 AC/DC "box sets" on iTunes, one is 79.99 and is all the studio albums, there's also a 99.99 set that adds live albums. Would either of these be worth getting or would sticking to certain individual albums be better?

Recently I've been playing GTA V online and enjoying the in game radio, particularly Channel X (almost a 10 year span from mid 1970s to mid 80s punk) and Vinewood Boulevard Radio (defined as post punk or Alternative Rock, all the tracks are under 10 years old, most about 5) and I'm looking for more since they're not really genres I've paid much attention to before, I do like Punk but it tends to be more The Offspring era stuff. http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Channel_X Particular favourites: Agent Orange - Bored of You Black Flag - My War (Got the album already but I know Black Flag has a complicated history) Adolescents - Amoeba Descendents - Pervert Suicidal Tendencies - Subliminal MDC - John Wayne Was a Nazi The Zeros - Don't Push Me Around X - Los Angeles D.R.I. - I Don't Need Society http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Vinewood_Boulevard_Radio Wavves - Nine Is God FIDLAR - Cocaine Bass Drum of Death - Crawling After You Shark? - California Girls The Black Angels - Black Grease Bleached - Next Stop Mind Spiders - Fall in LIne The Soft Pack - Answer to Yourself
