BigRed0427 posted:I would like to get into Bruce Springsteen. What is the one must have album from him that I should find first? I don't know if it's that simple; for the most part, I've either seen people say "Darkness on the Edge of Town" is his best album, or "Born To Run", or "Born In The USA", or "Nebraska". I'm going to tell you how I started to appreciate him and hope you can replicate my own experience; the first album of his I heard is "Born To Run" and it was the gateway that made me start to like him on a level beyond 'when he's on the radio I don't change the station'. "Nebraska" however was the second album of his that I heard, and it really gives him an artistic depth that actually made me appreciate him. What I'm saying is that for me, I started with those two.

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.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted: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? It's just because I already know who the most popular and cliche reggae artists are, I'm just hoping for a recommendation from somebody that has a depth of knowledge I guess edit - HAI are you reading this edit 2 - I don't hate Bob Marley, it's just kinda cliche, ya know Final Fart Buttball fucked around with this message at 20:33 on May 4, 2009 |

The Blueprint is the most important one for you to get if you already have Reasonable Doubt but after that get the Black Album and Volume 3.

winvirus posted:Can anyone recommend some good pianists with strong vocals? Or just anything that has a great piano tune and good singing too. Well this one might be incredibly obvious but since I'm not sure if you want something newer or older or in what style, I'm going to recommend Regina Spektor because I've been listening to her a lot lately and I think she has a really good voice. Try her new album Far

This is probably going to sound really, really broad but I'm interested in asking this: if I say I wanted to hear more songs with similar characteristics to Elliott Smith's "I Didn't Understand", what songs come to mind? I'm not just asking for your favorite a capella music, mind you, but it can be. Preferably something as depressing edit - the more words I write, the more stupid my request sounds? sorry Final Fart Buttball fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Aug 9, 2009 |

Maybe your comment will inspire me to listen to one of his albums finally! Elliott Smith did a good cover of "Thirteen" but you probably already knew that

The Dentist posted:I just listened every Radiohead cd in chronological order. I've been a fan since OK Computer. I know that it's probably the most common and laughable occurrence for someone to ask for music that "sounds like Radiohead" when their influence on today's music is so huge. What I'm looking for, mostly out of desperation, is something that will blow my mind the way they did/do. I don't want to be that guy who listens to Radiohead all day. Because, right now, I AM that guy. I'm sorry. I know there's more out there. I like this post and your attitude, and I've been in similar territory not too long ago, so I'll do the best I can to help. I have to run soon so could I just look for you on AIM (inweaknessbe right?) later? I'll have plenty to send and talk to you about. I certainly won't be able to tell you about everything though, so I hope other people after me make some good rec's Final Fart Buttball fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Aug 31, 2009 |

Need something uplifting that will remind people what we're doing here. I need to hit the right note, uplifting but not depressing. I was thinking about Sigur ros because I've heard some of their stuff and thought it might fit this purpose. Can someone give me some recommendations? I don't know why but this is the first band that I thought of. Go here: http://www.myspace.com/moonlitsailor and click on the song called "Night Stroll". If that doesn't work for you, try "Once We Were Children".

WayneCampbell posted:I'm looking for depressing folk music. Like Town van zandt and that song "Waiting round to die" or Ralph stanely's "man of constant sorrow". It's not "all" depressing but I think Tallest Man On Earth's debut album would hit a few of those sweet spots (like "Where Do My Bluebird Fly" and "I Won't Be Found")

Rollersnake posted:Country music and electronica. Has anyone ever combined them? And I don't just mean electronica that samples country music. I have the word "glitch-tonk" stuck in my head and I need to know if it exists or not. Hahah well it's not "glitch-tonk" but this is the closest thing I could think of: Brad Paisley - Welcome To The Future http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwKht1_SyXU The choruses have electronic flourishes and so does the part from 4:54 until the end of the song. Listen to the latter thing I mentioned especially. It's loving horrible. It's not really exactly what you're looking for but I think you're asking for something that barely exists anywhere and I did my best

Corte posted:So I know a site like last.fm can show me related bands but what if I am looking for a specific type of song. Artists and bands generally try to vary at least a little in their song content(unless you're Nickelback). It is has to describe what type of song I'm even looking for. I've been on an indy female vocalist kick of late with Kate Nash, Joanna Newsom, and Regina Spektor but more specific than that the bittersweet feeling some indy songs can illicit. Blame 500 Days of Summer as Wolfmother - Vagabond has been getting a lot of playtime too. If I'm not mistaken, you can also choose a tag for a song or an artist and then listen to a last.fm radio of that tag (ie. "bittersweet" radio or whatever)

I don't like most of Wagner, Mozart leaves me "meh" and Rome-styled music is not for me. I'm not someone who "knows their poo poo", I'm just recommending one of the relatively few things in the last year or two that I've listened to with classical stylings, but try Luigi Rubino - A Theme For The Moon.

Honestly if I were you I would just spend a decent amount of time Googling 'best album' lists of certain decades or of all time. I'm not saying this because canon albums or albums that lots of people think are great are always the best, but they can give you a background to work outward from.

For the record I did not listen to the songs that you linked to, this is just going off of your description of what you want.
