Alright sell your fav. band/artist/music genre.

For me, I think everyone should check out this group called sanctus real

Here are a few vids from youtube with their music:
I'm not alright (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqqDzJuYPpI)
The Face of love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1fePS54ES0)(don't be turned off by the video)
possibilities (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUM_Hyc1P2U)*(live)


I will update the OP when I find some more :)

terrible moving on here is what I have stuck in my head:

Fedde Le Grand-Put your hands up for Detroit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxa6s_ybjZo) (if you have not already heard this you need a new rock)

Beck - Elevator Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-QHWXFJTek&mode=related&search=)

Outwork - Elektro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHIW4DwLvQk&mode=related&search=)

Stars - Elevator Love Letter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y33w6V0kTnk)

Rachael Starr - Till There Was You (alas no good youtube version:( )

Definitely Reggae.

Check out Bob Marley. It's got some nice beats, easy to listen to, motivational to work to, and nice to tune out or tune in depending upon your mood.

It's also got some great messages, most notably, Don't Worry (be happy!), and One Love.

The only thing that might be off-putting is his (Marley's) references to his Rastafarian beliefs; but I rather like this insight into the musician's belief system, and the way he puts his beliefs into action. Besides, most of the things he puts in pertaining to Rastas is just about getting along with other people.

Check out Redemption Song if you get a chance. That's my favorite. :D

I suggest the band Black Lab (http://blacklabworld.com/blw/index.html). It's a rock band, and a rather good one at that. I have all of their cds and I just can't stop listening to them. :D

Be sure to download one of their best songs, Wash It Away (http://blacklabworld.com/blw/pages/01a_ybam.html) (scroll down till you see it). More free music if you check out the other cds too. :)


EDIT: music video of a song from See the Sun here (http://www.vantagepointproduction.com/video/lonelyboy.mov) [mov]. Source (http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=78883).

I would recommend anything off the Moon and Antartica by Modest Mouse.
Listen to it once, then twice with a set of headphones.
By the third time, you'll probably have your mind blown.

Shpongle and Boards of Canada.

Heh, glad you asked :p

A lot of the bands i'd like to share aren't wealthy or famous enough to have video clips....so i dug up what I could...most live clips have sound that isn't so crash hot, but hey :p Most of it's heavier stuff...I guess i'll post some better "easy listening" stuff later.

Stoner rock/metal

Pelican - Drought (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRtv3sqrnrI)(live, bad sound, doesn't do it justice)

Cathedral - Hopkins, Witchfinder General (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9Qdj7pt7Iw) (actual clip...fits into the first lot too, I guess)

Grungey stuff

Spiderbait - Scenester (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfx_N4aMeJg) (live, TV studio)

Melvins - Queen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRWV32kSkFs) (actual clip)

Might add more later if anyone actually looks at them :p

Blind Guardian...









...and anything that doesn't suck. :p

*cough* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVS3QqrXhD8)

Supergroove
Head Like A Hole/HLAH
*nods*

Blind Guardian...

...and anything that doesn't suck. :p

Good on you. While you lose points for listening to Blind Guardian, acknowledging that they suck is a step in the right direction. http://www.fuckyou.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Dresden Dolls.

The lyrics range from incredibly sad ("First Orgasm") to very funny ("Mandy goes to Med School") and sorta angry ("Girl Anachronism").

The piano is still the best instrument devised by humanity, and the band shows that all you really need is a few drums and a piano and a microphone.

They're also a very inclusive band. At live shows they invite random street performers to come to the show and do their stuff there, they get people to dress up and it's just generally a lot more fun and not at all conformist, like many other bands, which generally have one accepted image of what a fan has to look like.

I love the Dolls. Especially Coin-Operated Boy. :)

Definately Country Music. It's just Awesome. :)

Try these groups out:

Squarepusher
Aphex Twin


In terms of classical music, I'd suggest Shostakovich, Bartok and Poulenc.

gogol bordello (http://www.gogolbordello.com/) :)

The second best band alive: www.localh.com

I suggest the band Black Lab (http://blacklabworld.com/blw/index.html). It's a rock band, and a rather good one at that. I have all of their cds and I just can't stop listening to them. :DThey have more albums than Your Body Above Me?

Aphex TwinCome to daddy! (Awesome song.)

Letters From London (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nVm5el5aKU)

Its a local band who are getting bigger and bigger.

Muse Hysteria (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXkjscp7tSw&mode=related&search=)

Muse Plug in Baby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_WmoCAD6KY)

Cookie for everyone who knows them!

Definitely Reggae.

Check out Bob Marley. It's got some nice beats, easy to listen to, motivational to work to, and nice to tune out or tune in depending upon your mood.

It's also got some great messages, most notably, Don't Worry (be happy!), and One Love.

Besides, most of the things he puts in pertaining to Rastas is just about getting along with other people.

Check out Redemption Song if you get a chance. That's my favorite. :D

bob marley does rock, but i'm currently getting into Damien Marley (one of bob's sons)

i recommend Testament to any metalhead, and the Five Corners Quintet for jazzzzzzzzzzz :)


- PM (posting as glitz)

Metric. I consider them an indy band, but according to other people, they are pretty punky sounding or something. *Warning* some of these songs are obviously sung by a liberal.

Succexy

Combat Baby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdZMsbQCcEM

Dead Disco (their hit song.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRopPJDZSig

The List
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va1eKV6UTLk

They have more albums than Your Body Above Me?Yup. The have a new one, See the Sun, which is not as dark as YBAM. It uses keyboard & some other tricks. I find myself listening to both about equally. YBAM has recently gotten a makeover and they've added some songs. I'm going to get the updated one eventually.

They also have a acoustic one that is only Paul Durham's songs, called Ten Million Years. Cake or Death was a side project with some of Paul's friends, and it's quite good too, although different from the stuff he's done with Black Lab.

Beethoven and Wagner - for all their faults (and there are many), musically they were geniuses who produced some of the greatest music ever heard and influenced scores of later composers through their innovation.

Beethoven's 3rd Symphony
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFltqVS8d9I

Pathetique Sonata (first movement)

<snippy>


:D I love your lists, I always discover things that I should be listening to but have never heard of.


As for mine:

Ayreon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtAhlPcdh9c)

Sonata Arctica (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV48HyhGLZ8)

Children of Bodom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy3CERGZqSA)

That'll do for now.

Anything by Acid Bath (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKqXKUb1fhM)

Just search out Acid Bath on youtube (make sure it's not the 'movie trailer') and enjoy!!!

As usual, the Smiths. My favourites are ones you shouldn't listen to unless you're a fan, but to get into it, try "How Soon is Now?", "William, it Was Really Nothing," "The Queen is Dead," and, perhaps, "Ask." Those were the ones that convinced me.

Beethoven and Wagner - for all their faults (and there are many), musically they were geniuses who produced some of the greatest music ever heard and influenced scores of later composers through their innovation.

I have a special face just for Wagner. My singing teacher was looking through her books of music, found some Wagner, and said, "I don't think you're ready for this quite yes." I agreed, made a face, and now tell Wagnerian jokes constantly, to people who have no idea what I mean.

If anyone can recognize this you get a million pounds:

"la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaa, la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaaa"

If anyone can recognize this you get a million pounds:

"la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaa, la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaaa"

That is so completely "Shiela Take a Bow" by the Smiths. Undeniably.



Or something else; I have no idea.

If anyone can recognize this you get a million pounds:

"la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaa, la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaaa"

The Smurfs theme song?

Check out Bob Marley. It's got some nice beats, easy to listen to, motivational to work to, and nice to tune out or tune in depending upon your mood.

It's also got some great messages, most notably, Don't Worry (be happy!), and One Love.

Marley was dead a good seven years before the song Don't Worry, Be Happy was written. Neat trick.

If anyone can recognize this you get a million pounds:

"la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaa, la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaaa"

Its Iggy Pop's "I am a passenger"

My reccomendation would be Motion City Soundtrack.

They're sorta-emo but more rockish. And they manage to avoid being as annoyingly generic as say, Fall-Out Boy (which explains their relative lack of success in the mainstream market).

It's a crummy description but hey...

www.motioncitysoundtrack.com

And as a side order, Mute Math. It's not quite Ska, pop or rock but there's elements of all 3, plus they do some pretty cool mogwai-esque instrumentals.

lyfe jennings is a great musician and vocalist. he can cover many styles of music and performs them all very well...

gogol bordello (http://www.gogolbordello.com/) :)

Yay! Someone else who has heard of Gogol Bordello!

Currently, I'm listening to a lot of Flyleaf:

"Breathe Today": http://youtube.com/watch?v=QkxCt7qpwoE

"I'm So Sick": http://youtube.com/watch?v=F3274GFwYl0

"Fully Alive" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-Vj2SrIPbQ&NR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_doll

I'd reccommend Devil Doll since they're pretty cool but I can't find no links to any songs and I'm pretty sure they didn't do any videos.

Marley was dead a good seven years before the song Don't Worry, Be Happy was written. Neat trick.

I wasn't actually naming song titles. Just common concepts. I was specifically thinking Three Little Birds, when I said that last one.

Yay! Someone else who has heard of Gogol Bordello!

best eastern european folk-punk-madness band out there ;). they're the only band that gets me going at the moment :)

Alright sell your fav. band/artist/music genre.

Pink Floyd.

Just buy Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here. You'll see.

Or listen to these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=629SMVVzc50 ("Sheep")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo ("Us and Them")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLYGnG1xKrQ ("High Hopes" live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozk8IlHbdew ("Learning to Fly" live)


Those are representatives of their numerous albums: Dark Side of the Moon, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Division Bell, Animals, and Meddle. Very good songs.

We should start wearing purple, in celebration... :)

Yay! Someone else who has heard of Gogol Bordello!

Yay! 2 more people who have heard of gogol bordello

People should generally spend more time at the "International/World" section when they visit their favorite music establishment.

Yay! 2 more people who have heard of gogol bordello

YAY 3 more people who have heard of gogol bordello!

We should start a Gogol fan club

YAY 3 more people who have heard of gogol bordello!

Hmmm... I'm under the impression that at least 3 of the four are from En-Ger-Land... I wonder if that has anything to do with it...

If anyone can recognize this you get a million pounds:

"la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaa, la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaaa"
"The La La Song", Casey Dienel?
Or possibly its the theme song of that Harry Potter theme, "lala"-ing doesn't translate really well over a written medium.

Dropkick were a brilliant punk group from Australia in the late 90's, though they apparently only ever released about five songs ("Four Dead Cheerleaders", "Friendly Fire", "Black and Burned", "No Time to be Young", "I've Been Sick") before being devoured by angry koala bears. Due to obscurity, their work tends to be misattributed to either Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys, and never made it on to youtube.

Also - listening to "Schwein": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amgz7pUkazM

If anyone can recognize this you get a million pounds:

"la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaa, la LA lala la la, la lala la laaaaa"

That is so Gunther's ding dong song.

Wow, someone else who's heard of them. I got their EP and first album after seeing them at Download this summer. They're a little bit whiny at times but otherwise they're really quite good.

Erm, I'm going to shamelessly plug 65daysofstatic again, simply because I fucking love them and think everyone should listen to them. Think very rocky, almost metal, post-rock mixed with the sexy glitchiness of Boards of Canada or Aphex Twin...then throw away that mental noise and go listen to some of their music.

Their website (www.65daysofstatic.com) has some tracks, and there's some stuff on youtube (http://youtube.com/results?search_query=65daysofstatic&search=Search).

Arcturus
Age of Silence
Winds
Unexpect
Sigh

All amazing bands

My reccomendation would be Motion City Soundtrack.
