DrRimbaud posted:I'd appreciate recommendations on more contemporary bands featuring male/female screaming in the vein of Antischism or Circle Takes the Square or Bloodlined Calligraphy. Thanks in advance! The F-Minus album "Suburban Blight" had some great examples of male/female vocalists trading off lines. Also, no male component in this one, but the Greek black-metal band Astarte features some pretty intense and impressive female screamed vocals.

Wild Cantaloupe posted:Hi, I have a metal request. For something else in the Cult of Luna vein, try Burst if you haven't already. Deadbird also, for a Southern stoner feel. For more of the WitTR aesthetic, try Nachtmystium and Samothrace, as well as early (stressing early) Ulver and Moonspell.

Without Pants posted:I'm looking for mellow, downtempo-ish stuff with woman's vocals. Anything with strings in the background is a plus. Mono is pretty good for this kind of thing as well. http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Life_In_Mono/782022 When looking for this Mono (from the UK), you'll likely encounter a Japanese band named Mono, which is awesome but doesn't play the kind of music you requested. Mono (UK) only released one album, "Formica Blues."

Stanley Jordan's tapping technique was really innovative. Some of his stuff is too smooth for my liking, but when he's on, like with this song, it's pretty amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE0N2-Nz7k0 I also like a lot of the recordings from the first half of George Benson's career: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn27IcAapPI If you're equally comfortable exploring the opposite end of the mellow spectrum, Pat Metheny's "Song X" collaborative album with Ornette Coleman can be quite rewarding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tG_fgzijuE

TWSS posted:The only metal bands I've listened to and liked enough to remember are Slayer, Black Sabbath, Massacra, Sleep, Electric Wizard, Motorhead, Meshuggah and QOTSA. What else might I enjoy? For more thrash in the Slayer vein, check out Sodom's "Persecution Mania" and "Agent Orange." Those albums are from the late '80s; for a newer thrash revival band, pick up some Warbringer. If you like Slayer primarily for the speed and are willing to move on to something even faster, try 1349 (not the new one, though) and Marduk, especially "Panzer Division Marduk." High on Fire, Matt Pike from Sleep's current band, plays three-piece rock-based metal in the Motorhead tradition. Definitely should be something you'd enjoy.

Iron Squid posted:Contemporary country along the lines of Wayne Hancock? I've got Hank Williams III and also like Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Boys, although I don't think they're still around. Wayne Hancock's label Bloodshot offers plenty of options, just check out pretty much anything on this list: http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/artists I especially recommend Rex Hobart & The Misery Boys; they specialize in old-style country tearjerkers, if that's something that interests you at all. But the Bloodshoot roster covers the entire spectrum of contemporary country (pop radio stuff excepted), so just browse around, listen to samples, you'll find something! Also, if you enjoy the western swing aspect of Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Boys (as opposed to only digging their rockabilly stuff), you might give the Hot Club of Cowtown a try.

Elder posted:What's a good place to start with Bluegrass? Like Farts Domino says, Bill Monroe is where it all starts. Del McCoury is another good traditional artist to explore. If you're a fan of punk and/or rockabilly, you might look into some of the revved-up "thrash-grass" groups like Split Lip Rayfield.

kingcobweb posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUYaosyR4bE Excellent suggestion. And on a related note, for anyone with any interest in country, Porter Wagoner (as featured, posthumously, at the beginning of that video) was an amazing performer, one of the genre's best old-time storytellers. His discography goes back to the '50s, but his best album in forever came out in 2007 on the Anti label. A couple Porter Wagoner selections below, both of which are a bit on the grim side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbaCokEdNz0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl4yjGzWOvI

Admiral Crunch posted:Looking for some recs on lo-fi/garage/punk. I've been listening to the thermals a lot lately and i realized that i have a really sparse collection when it comes to this. Im looking for stuff from any decade, just stuff in the vein of the black lips, the thermals, titus andronicus, japandroids, etc. Another full-label-discography recommendation: Check out the Crypt Records roster, especially its eight-volume "Back from the Grave" series of compilations, as well as anything by Lyres and Thee Headcoats. (Related and awesome, but not on Crypt, Thee Headcoatees, which is a group of female vocalists backed by Thee Headcoats.) If you like some prominent electric organ with your garage rock, try Murder City Devils: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XrPCCh-5aw

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:What are some good female rappers? I liked Bahmadia on Mr. Lif's new album. Anyone listen to her at all? Bahamadia is great, and she's been around for quite a while. It's worth tracking down her 1997 debut album "Kollage." MC Lyte is a must when getting into female MCs, check out "Cha Cha Cha" from '89: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcpRg3rvD2M If you don't mind a rougher style, Bo$$'s "Born Gangstaz" from 1992 is as hard as it gets. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuB1tJSfhpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dFCPlDy9Bw

Protokoll posted:I'm looking for good bands with female vocalists -- that's really the only stipulation. I'm just now realizing that 80% of my favorite bands have female singers and I'm strangely drawn to that music for some reason. Some 'older' stuff I've enjoyed is Crystal Castles, The xx, Los Campesinos!, Architecture in Helsinki, The Blow, Mates of State, etc. Bonus points if it's rock, pop, or screamo. This Crass song isn't on "Penis Envy," but seconding kcw on that being a must-own.

PUSSY BARON posted:I need help getting into soul. What are the most important albums or are there any good compilations? There are some great recommendations and starting-point suggestions in this thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3215812 Also, strongly seconding what Surfer Rosa Parks said. Grab a low-priced multi-artist hits collection, and from there you can follow your favorite artists to an equally low-priced best-of collection. For example, Bill Withers "Lean on Me -- Best of (Remastered)" provides a choice sampling of his work, and it's $7.98 new on Amazon.

CloseFriend posted:So I'm looking for some good rap-rock. Lately I've been enamored with Quarashi, and I'd love to hear more music like that. I also like Methods of Mayhem, Urban Dance Squad, and even though they're not entirely what I'm thinking of, Rage Against the Machine and the Chili Peppers. Like so many others, I also hate Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit (but I love Black Light Burns). Pandora's not much help on this one, unfortunately. Any recommendations? You might enjoy some stuff from the "Judgment Night" soundtrack, which was all collaborations between rock and rap acts. Here are a couple sample tracks from that: Faith No More/Boo-Ya Tribe "Another Body Murdered" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfTg4Fcza58 Helmet/House of Pain "Just Another Victim" (the rap part doesn't start until 2:15) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSlXFoIAa88 Also, some Public Enemy tracks with a rap/rock feel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4azhxMWmu48 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBA-xi8WuCU Old-school Boogie Down Productions, with KRS rhyming over the "Smoke on the Water" riff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ2Mwnoj5XM For another Rage-type group, try Downset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6IQxhkVIEw&feature=fvst And, here's the Onyx/Biohazard "Slam" collaboration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZdW32LgBDc

LuckySevens posted:Some of these suggestions are good voice wise, but the music doesn't seem as aggressive as Fiona, something I like, you feel like in all her songs she could break out into full rock and roll at any time. Less nice girls and more bad girls Eleni Mandell has a great voice and she often writes in character as a "bad girl": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6wSVWkfv8w I'd strongly recommend her first two albums "Wishbone" and "Thrill." After that point, she experimented with country and other styles, but those early records are filled with throaty torch-song bluesiness and seductive/unstable femme-fatale protagonists. Have you tried much PJ Harvey? Pretty bluesy at times, definitely very aggressive. "To Bring You My Love" is a good starting point, here a few tracks from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCyHFQiSvVE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoF90p1OoPI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me8aQA0VlI8 Also, here's something you've gotta see as a fan of Fiona's aggressive side: Her cover of Elvis Costello's "I Want You," with Costello joining her on guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiOmhOumh-w

Mad Eddy posted:I've been getting into Dillinger Escape Plan lately, the screaming vocals turn me off a little, but that's why I absolutely adore Black Bubblegum and Milk Lizard. Any other bands that you could recommend that sound like those songs? Maybe try Every Time I Die; people who don't like the DEP songs you've mentioned often criticize them as "lame Every Time I Die ripoffs" or something of the sort. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2m8wnE3c8M d0grent posted:math rock Check out the first two Shiner albums, "Splay" and "Lula Divinia." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbrrjjjY0mo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xULhjlOAMrk Later, Shiner got spacier and more melodic, with less of an emphasis on insane drumming and strange time signatures. Still awesome (same with the singer's current band The Life and Times), but not quite as technical and "math-y."

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:I want some new thrash metal, I have plenty from the 80s and 90s, but I want some recent stuff that has been coming out. My favorites are Death Angel, Kreator and Anthrax. Try Morbid Carnage. They're a Hungarian group that sings about traditional thrash topics such as "Warlust" and being "Possessed by Metal." Also, this album cover:  Sticking with Carnage, I think you'll like Ritual Carnage. They're based in Tokyo. The singer's voice (at least on the latest album) is on the higher-pitched side of things, though not quite to the degree of Overkill, Annihilator or Belladonna Anthrax. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xqM0IeJD9U My favorite of the newer American thrash acts is probably Vektor, because I think they come up with some really interesting riffs/song structures and it's not just straightforward Exodus/Sodom/whatever worship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsudyBzPGEI
