So, I'm trying to find some new bands to listen to and in the past I've listen to bands like Smash Mouth, Korn, Good Charlotte, The Charlie Daniels Band, and Gorillaz, and I have one or two Marilyn Manson CD. So, I got tired of listening to all of those CD over and over again, so I need some help finding a new band to add to my collection. I'm thinking about getting something from Bare Naked Ladies, but still thinking about that. So, from the music guru here on NSG, what would you recommend?

Letters From London (http://myspace.com/lettersfromlondon) An unsigned band who will be releasing their first single early next year.

Muse: Always a great band to listen to especially the album Origin of Symmetry
Placebo
Smashing Pumpkins
Lostprophets

Might want to try Lifehouse, Snow Patrol and Switchfoot.

I recommend a taste in music...failing that I have been listening to Goldfrapp allot lately (mostly felt mountain "fascist baby!" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=GgDKQVjCDjQ))

I honestly recommend you get XM or Sirius. I set it on the say 90s and today channel and then put the player on pause. After i build up an hour on my receiver i sorta fastforward/scan thru all the songs. Then just que up the next hour. When i find a title i like i just write it down and get a list and err buy it from Itunes. After a few days of this on the 90s station and things get repetative then i just change the channel to the 80s section then 70s 60s etc rinse and repeat.

Megadeth? I don't know about their latest United Abominations, but the earlier angstier anti Bush Sr. albums was fun to listen to.

Flaming Lips? Naaaaah, probably better to listen to Kasabian.

Bare Naked Ladies is fun, but sometimes I prefer Dave Matthews Band.

...or... you could listen to Go! Team till your ears bleed with enthusiasm that they instill.

I like Rihanna though, 'ella 'ella 'ella.

Sonata Arctica!

My husband hates my taste in music. With that in mind, here is a small sample of a few bands I like that I would recommend:
- Kraftwerk
- Tool
- Medieval Baebes
- Arcade Fire
- Irish Rovers
- Rush

They belong to different genres. And my pick from this list? Rush.

Ought of just linked my Pandora stuff.

Your taste in music is fairly standard (standard isn't bad). I'd just go with the more popular 'alternative' bands for now, like
Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Gin Blossoms, R.E.M., Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Everclear, and Smashing Pumpkins (the last one has been said before, but merits repeating).

Local H:fluffle: excellent choice!

The only thing I can recomend along those lines is Dethklok, find them on itunes, or at your local store, unless they ran out of CD's already. I liked the show Metalocalypse so much, I bought their first CD, The Dethalbum, I like the first track, Murmaider, alot. Their animated like The Gorillaz, and will tour in much the same way, or so says their creator.

Graduating class of 95-97?

You must feel like a local god when you're with the boys.

:fluffle: excellent choice!
They are seriously under appreciated.

Maybe try Amity lane/trust company. One of my fav :)

Graduating class of 95-97?I wish. Perhaps I could've seen Nirvana live then.

It's more that the newer popular bands generally aren't any good.

They are seriously under appreciated.I agree.
They're finally going to release a new album next year. Damn record labels for not keeping them on.

Monty Are I.

Can't say enough about this band from Rhode Island other than that I'm a HUGE fan.

Just a few off the top of my head;
Rise Against, silversun pickups, sublime, system of a down, and postal service. All really good, all have their own sound.

My husband hates my taste in music. With that in mind, here is a small sample of a few bands I like that I would recommend:
- Kraftwerk
- Tool
- Medieval Baebes
- Arcade Fire

Do Irish Rovers and Rush together! Like Green tea and ginger ice cream, mmmm!

I support the Kraftwerk recommendation. Nothing beats 70s electronic music :p

Wilgrove : I see that you mostly like the rock/metal genre but your taste for gorillaz will pave your path to redemption. If you like gorillaz you will probably like the Herbaliser, Le Peuple de l'Herbe, RJD2, Dj Krush and Dj Shadow. Try them out.

Hey! Don't forget the Plain White T's! Yeah, some people hate Delilah, but it's completely different from any of their other songs.

K.m.f.d.m.

Jello Biafra's favourite band, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdqGU6lP9qU)

Or Chisel (http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/permanent_records_albums_fro_20)

Demon Funkies. They're a Denver-based band. You can find them on Myspace.

Sepultura, if they haven't been mentioned already.

K.m.f.d.m.

keep me from distending myself???

:shudder:

Lordsphere

http://www.purevolume.com/lordsphere

Pink Floyd
Queen
Weezer
Bayside
Rush
Social Distortion

best bands ever

PS- The After Hour, look em up on Purevolume and Myspace, they're from around my area, they're really goood.

Letters From London (http://myspace.com/lettersfromlondon) An unsigned band who will be releasing their first single early next year.

Muse: Always a great band to listen to especially the album Origin of Symmetry
Placebo
Smashing Pumpkins
Lostprophets

Fuck the Prophets! Listen to Funeral for a Friend, Kids in Glass Houses and the Blackout!:D

Welsh bands who are not only good, but not immensely punchable. Whoever suggested Plain White T's has appalling taste. They may not be consistent to "Hey there Delilah" in their other works, but this doesn't make them any better. Just a different type of appalling.

I'd suggest Brand New, because "The Devil and God..." is simply staggeringly good, and "Deja Entendu" is a masterpiece. Nightmare of You are also quality, of indy made by a band comrpising an ex-Movielife member is your thing. Which it should be, of course.

Scenes from a Movie are fairly cool, if only because their lyrics allow them to transcend the general homogenous banality of their contemporaries, and Saosin are amazing.

Fuck the Prophets!
Their first album is cool. Not the over-produced re-issue, but the original release had so much promise...

Now...not so much.

Eh, I'll reccommend the same bands I do every time this sort of thread comes up.

65daysofstatic
Tool
Isis
Apocalyptica (seeing 'em live tomorrow, woo!)
Pelican (seeing 'em live Saturday, woo!)


And whoever it was who said Kasabian in favour of the Flaming Lips...you, sir, are a cretin. I mean, seriously. Kasabian? It's like suggesting going to KFC when Raymond Blanc's offered to cook for you.

RATATAT

Trust me, it will blow your face apart.

Other good ones you might like given your taste:
Social Distortion
Operation Ivy
Audioslave
Rage Against the Machiene

If you want to expand into good music try some of the roots of metal:
Zeppelin
Frank Zappa
Lou Reed


And for the love of god, listen to Pink Floyd

And the Barenaked Ladies suck.

Acid Bath.

Rebel meet Rebel! After Pantera broke up they got together with David Allen Cole! Really awesome music!!;)

And for the love of god, listen to Pink Floyd


20 years ago, this went without saying. I wonder if the current generation of teens have the same appreciation for it?

Sonata Arctica!
Excellent choice.

Have you heard the new Nightwish album, yet?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............

Avenged Sevenfold

Breaking Benjamin

Social Distortion

Blink 182 (failure to comply is not an option)

Taking Back Sunday

Glassjaw

Dr. Acula

Preschool Tea Party Massacre

Sex Pistols

The Clash

Coheed and Cambria

Atreyu

Saosin

The Starting Line

The Strokes

Flyleaf

Joan Jett

Buckethead

Jimi Hendrix


yeah I'm a music freak >.<

oh yeah...

Some do, and the rest will die. Nuff said.

20 years ago, this went without saying. I wonder if the current generation of teens have the same appreciation for it?

Today's generation rejects being another brick in the wall differently.

Plus, I think MTV has managed to shorten attention spans of today's music audience so that they can't comprehend the type grandiose pyschadelic rock that Pink Floyd's famous for.

But then again, if you like A Perfect Circle, you probably could enjoy PF.

And whoever it was who said Kasabian in favour of the Flaming Lips...you, sir, are a cretin. I mean, seriously. Kasabian? It's like suggesting going to KFC when Raymond Blanc's offered to cook for you.

I also like zombie movies (Shawn of the Dead included), Grindhouse, Rob Zombie movies while enjoying a Chianti ^_^

Flaming Lips does have it's moments, but it sure can't beat the repeatability of Kasabian, which is like you said about KFC and Raymond Blanc, you don't need to savor junk, HA!

Dammit everyone here listens to the same music. Rock is dead guys, deal with it. Listening to oldschool rock might be worth it but in todays world all the talent has left for newer and more interesting styles. Dump postmodern rock, its time to enjoy the novelties.

Like acid jazz : parov stelar, jamiroquai, mr scruff
or Trip Hop : Morcheeba, Thievery Corporation
or Electrohouse : Booka Shade, Vitalic
and then there's psytrance, drum n bass, ambient, house, french touch, fusion, hardtek, hardcore, experimental hip hop, psychedelic folk, dub, ragga, etc...

Start opening your ears for dog's steak !

Ah, then again I prefer what you called dead to your recycled soylent green sounds.

Okay, I cheated, I also like Tiesto, Jamiroquai, Daftpunk, and to a lesser degree experimental hip hop.

Meh. Industrial music is awesome, but generally electronic music that isn't industrial isn't very good.

*SNIP*

Well. I for one will be a Rocker and will always be a Rocker. Most of these new bands do suck so I stick with what I know. POD, Nickelback, Slipknot, Puddle of Mudd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ozzy, Hedder, Linkin Park, Taproot, Audioslave, Creed, Shinedown, Three Doors Down, Hoobastank, Staind, Guns and Roses.

I also listen to some old school Jazz. And i'm talking the 40's through 60's. Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, etc.

Well, if you want something diffrent from the normal rock, try out Juno Reactor. Their good, especially if you get the stuff that wasn't played in the Matrix, like Conquistador, parts 1 and 2, or, Hotaka, Extended Version.

As always, xkcd wins at life, the universe, and everything:
http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/classic.png


Anyway, I'd suggest:
Type O Negative
Fear Factory
Lordi
Manowar
NiN

and, of course:
Sabbath
Zeppelin
Maiden
Alice Cooper

...
Just to name a very few. I could go on, but that should be enough to get you going for quite some time.

I recommend Rabbit Junk (http://www.myspace.com/rabbitjunkband), Tub Ring (http://www.myspace.com/tubring), Stolen babies (http://www.myspace.com/stolenbabies), Sigh (http://www.myspace.com/sighjapan), and Unexpect (http://www.myspace.com/unexpect)

I know these recommendations will probably be ignored, what with me being a n00b and all that, but they are all really rather good, if possibly a little weird for some people's tastes :)

Their first album was alright, but it doesn't change the fact that "rooftops" and all that psuedo-emo crap on "Liberation Transmission" are unforgiveable. It isn't even good.

Black Sabbath, preferably the Ozzy years. They gave us Iron Man, War Pigs, Paranoid, Black Sabbath, NIB, etc.

Led Zeppelin. Greatest band that ever existed. Memorable songs include Stairway to Heaven and Kashmir. They broke up in 1980 after their drummer got drunk and drowned in his vomit. Truly, Bonham was the greatest drummer of all time. Never produced a bad or "merely good" song. Never.

Metallica. Anyone who hasn't heard Metallica is a person who hasn't truly experienced heavy/thrash metal.

Pink Floyd. Two words: pure awesomeness.

I could recommend a lot of bands that you would probably not like, but three you probably would that I have been listening to tonight are Built to Spill, Bloc Party, Maximo Park.

So, I'm trying to find some new bands to listen to and in the past I've listen to bands like Smash Mouth, Korn, Good Charlotte, The Charlie Daniels Band, and Gorillaz, and I have one or two Marilyn Manson CD. So, I got tired of listening to all of those CD over and over again, so I need some help finding a new band to add to my collection. I'm thinking about getting something from Bare Naked Ladies, but still thinking about that. So, from the music guru here on NSG, what would you recommend?

The first five have enough out there to keep you occupied for some time. The last two are alternative.

-Beatles
-Queen
-Led Zeppelin
-AC/DC
-Pink Floyd
-Yellowcard (Yellow Card?)
-Plain White T's

20 years ago, this went without saying. I wonder if the current generation of teens have the same appreciation for it?

Of course, it's impossible not to love Pink Floyd.

Älymystö, from Finland.

Experimental Industrial.

I highly recommend their music, although some of it makes me
feel like I'm about to slide brain-first into a psychotic episode:D:

Protest the Hero is pretty good, if you look em up though, the songs from Kezia are better than any of their previous stuff.

Thank you all for the list, this will keep me busy in the music department for awhile. :)

Recently ive become addicted too "The Fall of Troy". Its those intricate guitar riffs.....

If you like British-Indie at all i'd reccomend the bigger boys, like Franz Ferdinand, the Fratellis, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys,

Then theres always metal, KMFDM, Dir En Grey, Disturbed, Rammstein, etc.

Also - Malice Mizer. :) And Schwein.

Of course, it's impossible not to love Pink Floyd.Sure it's possible.

Emperor: ordered chaos. Awesome.

Borknagar: Listen to "Colossus," it's... the song...

My Dying Bride: Good doom metal to listen to when you're down.

Battlefield Band: Celtic folk music for the win.

Dissection: Simply awesome melodic death metal.

Carnivore: Not for the easily offended.

Type O Negative: gothic doom. also not for the easily offended

Immortal: In all their cheesy black metal glory

Blind Guardian: So nerdy, yet so awesome.

Sure it's possible.

Indeed. It's quite possible to dislike stuff that's extremely overplayed on the radio.

The Prostitutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLqiXn24_xk

Seriously, Led Zeppelin. Third most successful rock group, after Elvis (a group with one member) and the Beatles. They got that way by being the best of the best.

Need more reasons?
Stairway to Heaven
Ramble On
Moby Dick (kickass drum solo)
Kashmir (yep, that was them)
Immigrant song


Greatest musicians of the twentieth century.

Actually - selling records has little to do with being actually any good.

Zep aren't bad, and they've been quite popular. But so has Britney.

They sold well because they played well. If it was just overhype, they wouldn't be so popular right now. To get a ticket to see them in concert in the recent concert in London, you had to win a lottery. a million people. twenty-thousand seats.

They were the best. I have the cd-box set contianing all their albums. Ten cds and not one bad song.

Within Temptation. You may not be into some of their older stuff, but I'd check out the cd "The Heart of Everything". I think you'd enjoy it (if you're ok with female singers).


Within Temptation - What Have You Done (Featuring Keith Caputo of Life of Agony) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=gEgXDhiayz4)

I'm sure you like them a lot. I think they're okay, but I'm not going to goop all over them any time soon. Some of their songs I like very much. Others just fail to move me.

Not to denigrate their abilities... but being popular - as I already pointed out - has little or nothing to do with being good. I'm not dissing their virtuosity, but I doubt I'd go as far as to say they were the 'best' - certainly not in such openended terms.

well i'm rather fond of numina and rogue elements, but then you've got to understand tecno-ambient and 'berlin school, is pretty much what i'm into.

Of course, there's loads of other good stuff, but you might not have heard of these.

My husband hates my taste in music. With that in mind, here is a small sample of a few bands I like that I would recommend:
- Kraftwerk
- Tool
- Medieval Baebes
- Arcade Fire
- Irish Rovers
- Rush

They belong to different genres. And my pick from this list? Rush.

All the world's a stage.

barbecue rock
stone gods
THE PHOENIX! (not the french band but the Irish hard rock supergroup)
Syllian Rayle (excellent grunge metal)

Queen
Led Zeppelin
Weird Al.

If you don't like any of those, you're crazy:p

*cough"WholeLottaLove"cough*

*mega-seconded*
*yelps in whiny bitch voice during "solo"*

Odd there was no mention ...
Jeff Buckley

Well, why not trying these bands? :


The Crüxshadows
Clan of Xymox
Diva Destruction
Hungry Lucy
The Vanishing
VNV Nation
Deine Lakaien
Einstürzende Neubauten
Laibach

Dimmu Borgir is always good.

I especially like this song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ka9qzv8deek

I beg to differ. Whole Lotta Love might not be Kashmir, but it is still great.

Flaming Lips does have it's moments, but it sure can't beat the repeatability of Kasabian, which is like you said about KFC and Raymond Blanc, you don't need to savor junk, HA!
You appear to be confusing repeatability with repetitiveness...

Their first album is excellent, as a debut. I choose to ignore pretty much everything they did after that. There are loads of bands who have made one really good album followed by a crock o' shite - doesn't mean you can't praise them for the one good album.

Uh no, repeatability is a plus factor for my repetitive sounds. Just like you can loop a dance beat over and over again for a period of time,... yet if I do the same to the sounds of Vengaboy, it makes me break out in tears.... of blood.

So, I'm trying to find some new bands to listen to and in the past I've listen to bands like Smash Mouth, Korn, Good Charlotte, The Charlie Daniels Band, and Gorillaz, and I have one or two Marilyn Manson CD. So, I got tired of listening to all of those CD over and over again, so I need some help finding a new band to add to my collection. I'm thinking about getting something from Bare Naked Ladies, but still thinking about that. So, from the music guru here on NSG, what would you recommend?

Cinematic orchestra...Seriously

It would be a great song except for the retarded middle section.

You people are so ignorant. A listen of the first track there (his latest) will have you agreeing with me. And listening to it many, many times in a row.

Oh you sweet talker you. I know that 'catching flies with honey' approach just sent my DIVING towards that link.

Like I give a shit. :p

Kinda wasting your time, then, really? Because - if you don't care if anyone looks, posting a link is pretty silly.

Nah, that was directed solely at you. :p

My post was supposed to be somewhat sarcastic --- though that's not to say I'm not having fun with this little volley we're having.

Odd there was no mention ...
Jeff Buckley

Yes. Listen to this man, he knows his stuff.

Also consider: Neutral Milk Hotel, Tokyo Police Club, Patrick Wolf, Tom Waits, The Decemberists, Tarkio, Mike Doughty, The Thermals, The Books, The Bears, Stars, The Knife, The Roots, The Faint, Yo La Tengo, Xiu Xiu, Wolf Parade, John Hammond, TV on the Radio, Nouvelle Vague, Architecture in Helsinki, Art Brut, Azure Ray, Beirut, Of Montreal, Regina Spektor and Kaki King.

Yeah... the problem is, if it sends me the opposite way, and I'm the sort of person alway on the lookout for new music... it might turn out to be the perfect anti-ad for whoever you were championing.

Just saying. Playfully.

Uh no, repeatability is a plus factor for my repetitive sounds. Just like you can loop a dance beat over and over again for a period of time,... yet if I do the same to the sounds of Vengaboy, it makes me break out in tears.... of blood.
Looping a dance beat over and over doesn't necessarily make it any good. Kasabian are just another mediocre laddish indie/rock band with an attitude problem. The Flaming Lips are a multi-million record selling commercial and critical success with one of the best live shows in the business. More to the point, they're actually quite good. Unlike a certain Leicester band beginning with K.
