What's someone that sounds a lot like Mustard Pimp? I really like that, and I've dipped my toes into Crookers and the like, but I think I'm kind of at a crossroads between french house/electro and dubstep. I prefer Goose over Crookers, if that's any help. I'm familiar with some house music, though, particularly the Ed Banger set.

Bean_ posted:Whether you want to hear it or not, this is your entrance into metal. There's no going back now. Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm not exactly new to metal - I normally listen to stuff like Killswitch Engage (my favorite band), Slipknot, All That Remains, Trivium, etc. I was just looking for something a little different (but still metal)  I only started giving Lacuna Coil a serious listen like last year after I heard "Heaven's A Lie" on the Headbanger's Ball album. I picked up Comalies (which was good, but I didn't think it was their best) based on that. Later, I heard a few songs from Karmakode (thank you Rock Band!) and picked that up too. Then I got to see them live on the Music as a Weapon 09 tour (they were awesome) so I decided to get Shallow Life, and have not been disappointed; it's probably their hardest album so far (one or two songs I skip through, but overall a good album). They have pretty much spurred my interest into female-fronted metal. I guess the point is I normally listen to more "conventional" metal, but have lately been discovering (and thoroughly enjoying) the more "gothic" or "symphonic" stuff. Especially when a chick is fronting the band. Something about the blending of pretty (yeah I said it) vocals mixed with awesome metal music appeals to me. Thanks for the recommends, I'll have a listen at them when I get home from work  EDIT: In case anyone else wants more stuff like I've been looking at, I'd like to recommend a few myself: Krypteria: German band fronted by a Korean chick, Ji-in Cho. She doesn't quite have the high vocal range of a lot of singers, but she's still pretty good and the band is super-talented. All Systems Go is probably my favorite Krypteria song (bad-rear end guitar solo, right up there with Adam D. from KSE imo). All Systems Go, from the album Blood Angel's Cry Within Temptation: Dutch band. The singer, Sharon den Adel, has a really nice voice with good range, and it mixes well with the band's metal music. The Howling is my favorite song of theirs so far. The Howling, from the album The Heart of Everything Lullacry: Recommended to me in this very thread (thanks guys ). From Finland (why are the awesome chick-fronted bands always foreign?) and fronted by Tanja Lainio. She has a decent voice; not as pretty as Sharon den Adel's, but better range than Ji-in Cho. Crucify My Heart is the only album I've listened to so far, but I'm liking it a lot, and will probably check out their other stuff soon. Crucify My Heart, from the album of the same name Lacuna Coil: Italian band fronted by the hot hot Christina Scabbia. She's got a really great voice, and the band is awesome. The other singer, Andrea, has improved his English since their last couple albums, and Shallow Life is probably their best album so far, imo. If you're into this kind of music and haven't ever given them a good listen, you ought to. They did a pretty awesome cover of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence. Spellbound, from their new album Shallow Life Enjoy the Silence, covered on their album Karmakode Jadz fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Jul 16, 2009 |

It's not really a genre and more of a pop-culture word.

Haha, I've heard happy hardcore. Ugh. I said "electronica" because I was under the impression that it was a catch-all term for electronic music, as opposed to something like "techno" which has a specific subgenre connotation. Is there a better word to use? Thanks for the leads, all.

i just say 'dance music' for stuff like house and techno and 'electronic' if i'm including stuff like ambient or experimental or video game soundtracks that isn't really dancey, those shouldn't piss anyone off fwiw.

Electronic music is the umbrella term. Dance music is poo poo played in clubs, which would include stuff like Britney spears.

I use 'electronic music' when describing what kind of music I like to the old and uninformed. Otherwise I'll just say the specific genres. Speaking of happy hardcore I youtubed some the other day to remind me what it sounded like. Jesus gently caress. How I ever listened to that in my youth I have no idea. Was there no other kind of dance music? What the gently caress was I thinking. I actually had to turn it off I was cringing so hard.

Splash Damage posted:Are there any actual (good) bands who play folk music? What the gently caress kind of question is this? "Folk music" is an enormous umbrella genre covering thousand years of musical tradition, from all continents and countries, not just anglophone music that vaguely resembles Bob Dylan. That's like asking if there are any good bands that play rock music, except that there is infinitely much more variety in folk than rock. StevieB's suggestion is a good starting place for American folk music, but really, you could go through some kind of minimal effort to research poo poo before throwing an utterly inane question to this thread.

There's still a shitload of that, have you even gone to the ethnic/folk section at the store or on amazon or anything? There's at least a hundred 'gypsy folk' compilations from Roma bands and other bands/series that get into the wide range of folk traditions in eastern europe, start with a general one and then explore individual countries and ethnic groups (klezmer, turkish folk, hungarian, baltic stuff, russian and former USSR, etc all have distinct sounds and styles though the chord progressions and instruments may be similar). Taraf de Haidouks is a good start. The "hey hey hey" thing is more common in Russian music though. *edit for more helpful: i'm not trying to be mean it's just that looking for the 'best' folk bands is kind of pointless because the best ones are most likely gonna be living in a village you've never even heard of with no cds released, and pretty much the ones who got famous are all excellent instrumentalists with a good grasp of the traditional songs in their region, but the history and stuff is all going to be somewhat faked and whitewashed for marketing in the west, it's difficult to know whether what you're getting is 'authentic' if you're not a folklorist but even the 'unauthentic' music is still going to sound like what you want kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Jul 4, 2009 |

Maybe some stuff by Six Organs of Admittance here's a good one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtO8SoFpPPg&feature=related and Wooden Wand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01o0Ul1HRF4 wouldn't be surprised if you have heard of these two either though! Also, one of Sunburned Hand of the Man's guitarist's is doing a solo acoustic thing under Head of Wantastiquet : Heres the myspace : http://www.myspace.com/headofwantastiquet Another one is an experimental acoustic group that goes by Enos Slaughter - can't find a myspace Enos also has members of Sunburned, No-Neck Blues Band, and D. Charles Speer < who are also all other decent recommendations. Woops, also forgot to mention I found this compilation album titled "Wooden Guitar" and features four solo acoustic musicians all playing long pieces. Here is a list of the songs/artist - two of which have been mentioned already! Side A 1. Jack Rose - Red Horse (14:41) Side B 1. Steffen Basho-Junghans - A North Thuringian Raga (14:27) Side C 1. Tetuzi Akiyama - Time Between (20:39) Side D 1. Steffen Basho-Junghans - Smiling Penguins (5:06) 2.

I'm on a Blues kick right now. I've been listening to The Black Keys, Dan Auerbach's solo stuff and B B King, but since I've never looked into the genre before I don't know where to go next. If I could also get some recommendations for some blues/jazz fusion I would appreciate that as well.

I have a flatmate that listens to almost nothing except hip-hop and metal. Now we share pretty similar tastes when it comes to the former but when it comes to metal I know close to nothing. Most of the stuff he plays isn't really my cup of tea- probably a bit too hard for my liking but every now and then I hear something I like. From the little I've heard of Between the Buried and Me I've liked. The breakdowns are great and the guy has a wicked voice. I've also enjoyed Black Dahlia Murder although I've probably only heard a couple of their tracks. Metal certainly isn't something I listen to all the time but I'm interested in expanding my horizons and seeing what else is out there.

I'm sure you've already checked him out, seeing as he's so popular, but if you somehow haven't you should definitely look into Stevie Ray Vaughan, he's easily one of the best blues guitarists I've ever heard. You should also try out some Albert King, he's similar to BB, though a bit more energetic. As for blues/jazz fusion, you should try Larry Carlton out, he's a really great guitarist whose playing is super-smooth, though he's a bit more jazz than blues.

From the little I've heard of Between the Buried and Me I've liked. The breakdowns are great and the guy has a wicked voice. I've also enjoyed Black Dahlia Murder although I've probably only heard a couple of their tracks. Well, metal is a pretty broad term, and I don't listen to many bands that are quite as hard and heavy thrashing as Black Dhalia Murder or Between the Buried and Me, but based on your comment about most of that kind of stuff being a bit too hard for you, I'd like to make suggestions for some slightly less harsh metal that you might enjoy. Some of this stuff is similar to those two, but a lot of it is not quite so abrasive. Hopefully you'll hear something you like. If you like growling/screaming vocals, I highly recommend Killswitch Engage. Really great guitar work, and the lead singer does lots of growling; but he also does some actual singing and the rest of the band's music is easier to understand and follow than some of the thrash stuff you posted. They're a nice medium between the super-heavy stuff your flatmate listens to and the softer stuff you might hear on the radio. Rose Of Sharyn is one of ther best songs, in my opinion. Trivium is an excellent band who sounds more like classic metal than anything else most of the time. They do a lot of really technical music with clean guitar solos and fast, heavy drums. While some of their songs have lots of screaming (like the one I linked), the singer doesn't do a lot of screaming in most of their songs, so if you want a heavier emphasis on loud vocals, these guys might not be for you. And Sadness Will Sear is more representative of the kind of music they usually do. Some older Slipknot may be more to your liking if you are enjoying the heavy, fast-paced styles of bands like Black Dhalia. The singer growls more than screams, but their music more than makes up for it. Most of their stuff sounds like the first one I linked, and like My Plague. Mushroomhead is pretty similar to Slipknot (though hardcore fans of one usually hate the other because of stupid fanboi crap that I'm not into). Another good song of theirs is Kill Tomorrow. The video is kind of stupid, but the song pretty much defines their style. Other stuff you may like, ranging from more melodic to thrashing: Shadows Fall Destroyer of Senses The Light That Blinds Sevendust Leech Separate Lamb of God Ruin Laid to Rest Kittie Brackish Spit In Flames Trigger Cloud Connected Ill Niņo When It Cuts (ignore the stupid video, it's the best version of this song I could find) Lifeless...Life... From Autumn To Ashes The After Dinner Payback Where Do You Draw The Line Demon Hunter Our Faces Fall Apart Everything Was White Avenged Sevenfold Unholy Confessions Bat Country All That Remains Six The Deepest Grey 36 Crazyfists We Gave It Hell At The End Of August (another stupid video, those are NOT the actual words he's showing, but it's the best-sounding one I could find) Hope some of this grabs you
