I totally recommended this to someone else in the thread, but here goes anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F0IjVvmnfY I'd recommend you pick up The Walkmen's album Lisbon. I would describe it as harmonic, warm and retro. If you like those aspects of Arcade Fire, you will probably dig this album.

Hey there, I'm a dumb babby and I need help at getting into music. I have never owned a full album or cd of music in my life. I would really love to have something to listen to; Problem is I have no idea what albums to get or what bands to listen to. I like classical music, and music with a nice bassline or something. I think Barkley's "Crazy" is a pretty nice song, so maybe something more like that. No this is not a troll, I am seriously helpless in my music tastes. Please help goons!

Honestly if I were you I would just spend a decent amount of time Googling 'best album' lists of certain decades or of all time. I'm not saying this because canon albums or albums that lots of people think are great are always the best, but they can give you a background to work outward from.

I've been looking for music similar to the sound of Little Boots, Miike Snow, and Lily Allen. I really love the high energy they have in most of their songs. Bonus if its a female artist. here are some references, my fav for each artist: little boots http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDay5TkaSsg miike snow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVWeqAPQUXc lily allen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL6DlOQIwaY

Looking for more hip, contemporary jazz, the likes of Jason Lindner's Now vs Now. In the process of checking out anything else associated with him, or their fantastic drummer Mark Guiliana, but wouldn't mind some more recommendations. I say 'contemporary' but I'm not too bothered about timeframe as long as it sounds decently modern. Trying to break into jazz/fusion in general and I'm really fond of stuff that blurs the lines a bit like this. Besides that, I've been listening to some Avishai Cohen and Hiromi Uehara, both of which I'm quite fond of. Oh, and thanks to whoever recommended One Shot's Ewaz Vader earlier on, it's wonderful.  Kikka posted:Hey there, I'm a dumb babby and I need help at getting into music. The Beatles are basically essential listening, whether you end up loving them, hating them or proclaiming they don't "live up to the hype" (I never tire of people telling me this). Fortunately, you don't have to go pouring through their entire back catalog, as Love is a fantastic compilation of some of their best and weirdest, remastered and neatly edited together. McCartney's basslines were always a highlight of their music for me too, so that should have you covered. Gosh, I really need to figure out how to recommend things without it sounding like blatant marketing speak.

Yeah I already tried the Beatles. Wasn't my thing. I also downloaded all of Mozart piano concertos. Like all of them. Holy poo poo do I have to listen to all of them to stop being a plebian or is there a list of essentials somewhere? Oh, I also remembered that I like jazz and blues a lot! Any tips for that?

Wes Montgomery - Full House Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Self Titled Weather Report - Heavy Weather As for blues, check out Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour album. For just pure blues rock, it's loving beastly. Also just look for compilations of Gary Moore (RIP), B.B. King, Eric Clapton etc. I'm sure someone can give you some better tips but frankly I just wanted to plug Rory Gallagher because I love that man.

Kikka posted:Yeah I already tried the Beatles. Wasn't my thing. Like someone else suggested, the best way for you to go about this is probably to start looking up "best of"/"essential"/whatever genre and decade lists. You'll find these everywhere, some are good, some are bad, don't worry about it. Just use the lists as a jumping-off point and start browsing around, don't take any of them too seriously. Here are some examples: Blues Jazz 1970s These are album lists. You can also find lists of artists and songs.

I'm looking for something weird, but with a sense of humor. Some of the stuff that I already listen to that falls into this category are Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Primus, Ween, Pere Ubu, the Residents, Estradasphere, and any of the Mike Patton projects and I guess to a lesser extent Devo and Buckethead. I'm having a hard time finding similarly strange bands these days without just heading into all-out avantgarde territory (which can be up its own rear end at times, and most I find completely humorless).

Any Daevid Allen/Gilli Smyth-era Gong. Of Montreal—mainly their pre-Satanic Panic stuff, and especially Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies. The Dukes of Stratosphear is a neat XTC side project, in which they did pastiches/parodies of '60s psychedelic rock. Somewhat Ween-like. Actually XTC as a whole would probably fit your criteria.

So, I've had a strange inclination to get into metal for a long time, and have tried many different sub-genres and artists. I liked Opeth a little bit, but honestly, the only artist I have really enjoyed is Devin Townsend (especially Terria and Addicted!). Basically, is there any musician/band that I would like, in this case? Doesn't have to be straight-up metal or nothing. Thanks!

I'm more into lyrical content than things that sound similar so it's been hard finding music. I've been getting into music with themes of social justice/equality. Some bands/rappers I really dig are some Street Sweeper Social Club, Flobots, Thrice, Talib Kweli and Lupe Fiasco. I know there's like this whole "socially conscious" hip hop genre but I've checked some of it out and most of it doesn't appeal to me very much (not a huge fan of Common). Any suggestions?

Can someone recommend some music for me? I gravitate toward the 70s and 80s. I really like Talking Heads (especially Remain in Light and More Songs), early Roxy Music, Bowie's Berlin trilogy... so yeah. I'm obviously a big Brian Eno fan But I want to branch out a little. What I like about the bands I listed above is this kind of funky neurotic vibe I get. so what is relatively new that I might enjoy?

The Last Poets. depending on who you ask, they pretty much created the blueprint for rap music, and the often confrontational/controversial lyrics deal with political and social issues (civil rights, the black power movement, religion). they were around for a long time (in as many configurations as King Crimson) and the music goes from minimal, repetitive tribal drumming and chanting (The Last Poets) to drat funky (Delights of the Garden, my personal favorite), so there's a little something for almost everyone. i don't necessarily agree with all of their views, but it's powerful stuff nonetheless.

Basically, is there any musician/band that I would like, in this case? Doesn't have to be straight-up metal or nothing. Thanks! Try OSI, especially their first album. The two principal members of the band have very different influences, and their music is an odd mesh of heavy metal, ambient electronica, and progressive rock, with introspective lyrics and throaty vocals that would probably sound more at home in folk music. The closest comparison I can make to their overall sound is probably parts of Devin Townsend's album Ki. Alternatively, quit poking around and listen to some straight-up Iron Maiden. I'm not a metalhead, but I really love a lot of Number of the Beast—if there's something you really like about metal, you'll almost certainly find it in the bands who defined the genre. You might even want to start with Maiden's first two albums, as their original vocalist, while not as good as Bruce Dickinson, has more of an abrasive punkish style that's interesting to hear in the context of theatrical '80s metal.
