Suggest Me Music.

[Doormat]

I'm having a hard time getting into new music. So perhaps people with wider musical tastes can suggest bands for me to check out based on certain criteria.

 

Major bands on my mp3 player listed by number of songs:

 

MG/B

Radiohead

Muse

Metric

Rage Against the Machine

Moist/David Usher

 

Genres: Alternative/Rock

[sodamntired]

i'll do better than suggest, i'll give you some samples

 

Quarashi - Baseline Rock/Rap band from Iceland, now broken up, but still a quality track

 

The (International) Noise Conspiracy - New Empire Blues. My Absolute favorite band and the coolest/most talented band out there right now. I think you would like this.

 

Snake River Conspiracy - More Than Love. alternative with female vocals. i dig it, maybe you will to.

 

that's a start, tell me if you want more.

[Shiri]

Wow, I didn't think anybody knows Snake River Conspiracy but me. What the hell happened to them anyway? Sonic Jihad is a pretty decent album, I thought they have potential.

 

Anyway, I'd suggest giving Interpol a try if you haven't already. Also, The National and Bloc Party.

Aqua

I agree with interpol, maybe some peter bjorn and john, catpower, and hawksley workman

[Azalroth]

try some Portishead - Glory Box, and then go from there. Bit of an odd sounding music but worth a shot. It's good for chillin.

Based on your list:

 

porcupine tree - in absentia

 

The song trains off the album: http://www.sendspace.com/file/63kgbr

 

 

13&God - S/t

 

Song called Perfect Speed: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bxo004

 

 

 

I can come up with more suggestions, or perhaps upload some full albums if you are interested.

[soundless_space]

I second a lot of the stuff people have said, especially Portishead, 13 & God, and Porcupine Tree.

 

Along similar lines of 13 & God is The Notwist - This Room

 

Massive Attack, pretty chill stuff - Better Things

 

 

Also you might try Slowdive, the more accessible version of My Bloody Valentine.

EDIT song by Slowdive - Missing You

So I do the usual, take the artist's name and hop on Limewire, download a few tracks and sample.

 

Songs that were okay:

 

Portishead:

 

Numb

Roads

Cowboys

[silentshadow]

Maybe try pandora.com

 

You enter bands and songs that you like and then the website plays similar music.

Doesn't work in Canada anymore which makes me a sad panda

[mrs jesus]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club-Howl, Baby 81

yessssssssss. I LOVE THEM!

[Shiri]

I love them too, but how can you suggest those albums over their self-titled one? It's the best!

[Audio of Being]

I really liked these two the most, and are the ones I listen to the most

something tells me doormat will never come back.

[soundless_space]

He didn't even try our suggestions! Portishead and that was it.

[Doormat]

Yes I did, I have weird ways of sampling music though.

 

Interpol was...meh. Reminded me of The Bravery.

[Shiri]

Haha. Oh boy.

[shade]

ya interpol is meh

[WalrusMeat]

I don't really see the connection.

But I've only heard one song by the Bravery, and it was ages ago.

[Shiri]

The Bravery are similar to The Killers and bands of that synth/pop/rock genre. They're fun but nothing too profound or meaningful.

[bishopx]

Velvet Revolver is kick ass!!!! Going to see them again in August.

[Monkey]

I saw Velvet revolver a few years a go. They were great very loud! the only downfall they did that old rocker trick of waiting a long time to take the stage.

[spring90]

Try The Stills... especially stuff off of 'Logic Will Break Your Heart'
