Trying to discover new music...

[Angel]

Hey guys....... ok... I know someone posted a thread here not too long ago about music recomendations, but I can't find it, so forgive me for starting my own. I am making a mixed CD (as I always seem to be doing) and I need to discover some new music. I hate the crap that's on the radio these days.
I have heard a lot of you guys talking about the Muse, the Doves and Massive Attack, so I am checking these bands out. But I need more! To give you alittle background, I love music by Coldplay, Travis, David Gray, Starsailor, Jeff Buckley, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Pink Floyd and many others but that should help. I also am really getting into electronica type music with the likes of Lamb, Esthero, Moby etc...

*Update: not liking the Muse so much.

 

[Rono]

There is a new band from Belgium called Millionaire. The cd Outside the simian flock is great.

 

[Basstrap]

I've already said it repeatedly:
please check out Elliott Smith.
His music his well structured, his voice his soft around the edges...very nice.

His music is sometimes rocking, sometimes spunky sometime mortally sad.

Waltz#2 is the song that hooked me. DOn't let the happy waltz beat fool you

Must haves:

-Miss Misery
-Sweet Adeline
-Junk Bond Trader
-Everything means Nothing to Me(beautiful build up and ending here!)

 

[HelloAngel]

The Strokes
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
White Stripes

Love them I love the album Golden Hum (i think thats it anyway) and the Saaaave me song!

 

[sharky]

The Hives - very garage punk, I would especially recommend the songs

Hate to Say I Told You So
Die, All Right!
Main Offender
Knock Knock

 

[Zoomerang96]

i would NOT recommend muse, the strokes, the white stripes, or the hives.

i would recommend...

more radiohead (come on angel, you gotta like em more!!), sigur ros, beethoven, actually any classical music - its such a relief to hear good music instead of boring "guitar rock". id also recommend mogwai, the doves, and creed.

ofcourse, creed being said as the biggest joke ever made.

yesterday in a music store, i asked one of the workers if i could make a request:

"can i make a request?"

"what kind of request?"

"can you please remove all of creeds cds immediately?"

"trust me, weve all tried."

brilliant.

 

[Basstrap]

I agree!!
get Mogwai "rock action", that shit will take you to another level of existance! much better than the new 70's rock trend a la hives, strokes bla bla.
Its all the same boring shit with bad singing and primitive song structure.

Mogwai, portishead, radiohead, Elliott Smith...this is where its at

 

[elevatedmole]

White Stripes is currently what I'm obsessing over. We're Gonna Be Friends, Aluminum, and Fell in Love With a Girl are my favourite songs by them.

Oi, I wish I had money so I could buy some albums Or at least a decent computer so I could download mp3s!

 

[qball7200]

Thanks to Basstrap and the other person who recommended Rock Action to me. I'm still getting into the album but I absolutely adore 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong.

Angel, here are my best recommendations:

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol. II
Autechre - Tri Repetae
Bjork - Vespertine
Doves - Lost Souls
Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica, Lonesome Crowded West
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Tool - Aenima, Lateralus

If you or anyone else is interested you can get the mp3s from my ftp.

65.83.99.235
u2/u2

or

ftp://u2:u2@65.83.99.235/

[sulawesigirl4]

I know I sound like a broken record but...I can't say enough about Elbow and Doves. I just picked up both Doves discs this weekend after seeing them live last week and they are phenomenal.

I'll second sigur ros and Radiohead too.

 

[Rono]

...where is the new music ?

 

[Angel]

...where is the new music ?

What do you mean?

 

[Lemon Meringue]

Doves

Well, I just went out and got the Doves the last broadcast and I give it It is copyright 2002, so that qualifies for new as far as I'm concerned. It has a bonus CD, but i haven't listened to it yet. So, since I like them and you know i like U2...who else should i check out?

Thanks!
:lemon: M

 

[sulawesigirl4]

way to go Meringue!!! I just bought it last weekend (along with their first album Lost Souls) and I looooove both of them! We shall have to play them a bit while we sip beer on the patio this summer.

 

[Lemon Meringue]

Beer......on the patio?


(so do you think I'm ready for Elbow?)

 

[sulawesigirl4]

you betcha!

 

[Angel]

I think I like Elbow better than Doves (though Doves sound great).... and I am starting to really like Muse too!

*Loves discovering new music.
