What's some really good, relaxing hip-hop? Slower stuff with awesome beats. Like Jay Electronica, Madvillain, some of J Dilla's stuff.

Dick Danger posted:Entry level Hip Hop connoisseur signing in. I've been listening to nothing but hip hop for months now, but have very little in my library beyond Das Racist, Outkast, Deltron 3030 and a little Public Enemy. Every Hip-Hop beginner needs Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan. If you like that, check out Liquid Swords by GZA/The Genius You may also enjoy Madvillainy by Madvillain if you're looking for something more modern and relaxing.

This is kind of a weird request, but here goes anyway. I don't really like most Bob Dylan, from what I've heard, but I really like some of his 70s, less folk-ier stuff I've listened to. The more electric stuff, where he doesn't use his nasally voice, things like "The Man in Me" off New Morning or some of the songs off Planet Waves. What's some more songs like these, by Dylan or anyone else? Preferably more stuff by Dylan that sounds like this, because I really dig his voice on these tracks. EDIT: If it's not clear from my post, I've already got both New Morning and Planet Waves Blast Fantasto fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Oct 28, 2010 |

What are really good '60s / '70s jazz albums? I've taken to listening to Madlib's Shades of Blue while working recently, and I want to listen to jazz like the kind he samples / makes. (I have all of Madlib's jazz albums). Bear in mind I have very little jazz, so the big names are still on the table, Coltrane, Davis, Powell. All stuff I want to get in to, just looking for good starting points. Edit: More modern, Madlib-esque turntable jazz is good too.

Hedrigall posted:Music i loving love lately includes Midlake's latest album The Courage of Others, Yeasayer, Little Dragon, The Suburbs by Arcade Fire, all of Faunts' stuff, and the new Cut Copy album Zonoscope. 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.

DrankSinatra posted:I like the late sixties, and early-mid 70's Motown/Stax singles that tend to get a lot of radio play, and I'd like to go deeper in that era, but I don't really know where to look/what to start with, album and artist-wise. Any suggestions? If you can track it down, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959 - 1968 is amazing. http://www.amazon.com/Stax-Volt-Complete-Singles-Various-Artists/dp/B000002IQU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1315796153&sr=8-2 It's $75, but it has pretty much every Stax song you'll need. It was recommended to me earlier in the thread, and I don't regret it one bit. EDIT: If you want to start with just one artist though (and don't want to blow $75) here's a few great albums by Stax-Volt artists: Otis Redding - Otis Blue / Otis Sings Soul Otis & Carla - King and Queen Booker T. and the MGs - McLemore Avenue / Green Onions Sam & Dave - Soul Men If you only want to get one or two discs, I'd go with Otis Blue and Green Onions.

I'm a huge Prince fan. I love funky, sexy-rear end pop music. What's some more music like that? Another good example would be Justin Timberlake's second album; stuff that's usually got a lot of synth and funky beats. I have pretty much everything by Prince and his affiliates. EDIT: That seemed kind of vague so here's some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KYPkmGpooI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISZacjyerqc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3NdNXcYdhU Blast Fantasto fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Oct 30, 2011 |

FactsAreUseless posted:I love Devo's "Are We Not Men," where should I go next? Huge Devo fan here. Honestly, the best place to go is straight forward to Duty Now for the Future. That's their best album, in my opinion, and the perfect union between Devo weirdness and straight-out kickass tunes. Then I'd just keep going forward, really. Freedom of Choice and New Traditionalists are both awesome, but for totally different reasons than Are We Not Men and Duty Now. Each album after Are We Not Men gets progressively synth-ier. Those first four albums rank among my favorites for any band but pretty much everything after that is garbage with a few diamond songs in the rough. There were some great tracks on their most recent album, Something for Everybody, but nothing close to those first four amazing albums. People rag on New Traditionalists but Going Under is the song that made me fall in love with the band, and I geeked the gently caress out when I saw them last year and they played it.

I've been hitting up Spotify for glam rock all day, particularly the spacey-er stuff. I'm already down with T-Rex, Bowie, Roxy Music and Eno's solo albums. Anything else good out there in the genre?

Does anyone have some good garage punk or modern lo-fi garage rock recommendations? Just looking for lo-fi, rough around the edges kind of stuff. For examples, this is who is on my current playlist: - Black Lips - Nobunny - Jay Reatard - Ty Segall - Younger Lovers Just looking to supplement the playlist with additional artists. Thanks!

I'm looking for recommendations for old-time music or Americana. Basically bluegrass / traditional folk music / very early country. Whether it's modern or traditional, I don't care so long as it's on spotify. This is an example of the kind of stuff I'm talking about. I checked out the CD randomly from the library because I liked the cover art and I'm really digging it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waXUxhDCg3U

funkybottoms posted:the Smithsonian Folkways Anthology or anything from their Classic series will give you a nice variety/bunch of starting points. my particular favorites- not that they're necessarily on these collections- are Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, the Carter Family, and Ralph Stanley. also, Almeda Riddle (my great-great aunt!) is pretty awesome if you want some unaccompanied, shaped-note traditional ballads. Thank you so much, these are some great jumping off points. Smithsonian Folkways is great, I've listened to their Woody Guthrie collections but not much else so there's a ton of content right there. Listening to Bill Monroe now

What's some good horror-themed music? Ghoulish Halloween stuff. The campier the better, basically. See: - Misfits - The Cramps - Alice Cooper - Gravediggaz - Mercyful Fate, I guess

I'm looking for two completely different things: - Who are some lesser known / more obscure vocal jazz / swing-pop singers? I already know Sinatra, Martin, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, etc. I'm looking for some singers that may have slipped through the cracks or been lost to time. - Anyone have good recommendations for classic bluegrass? Other than Bill Monroe. There's probably some stuff on Folkways but I don't know where to start.

Kendrick Lamarr's Good Kid, M.a.a.d City is stuffed with Christian imagery and themes. As is most of his work.
