I can't stop listening to Alison Krauss and Calexico. I want more acoustic based stuff - solid songwriting and solid mastering. I LOVE the amazing soundstage on Krauss' albums. The banjos and mandolins sound unbelievable.

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!

A good suggestion is probably Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Really good bassline great hip hop music bass lines and some classical riffs.

So I stopped keeping up with new rap releases when my internet died out in the summer of 09 and I totally realized its been so long that I don't know what I've missed and I don't know where to start. I think the newest releases I've heard were the last couple Rick Ross albums (which I liked a lot), UGK 4 Lyfe (it wasn't so good), and the Burrprint 2 (it was ok).

FWIW I don't like any based, college weed raps (Wiz Khalifa and poo poo) or Wolf Gang related stuff. I do on the other hand like Hypnotized/Triple 6 style stuff and what little Lex Luger I've heard. So what are a few good tapes/albums I missed out on?

I'm hoping you've heard the latest Kanye West album if not fix that at once, its the best rap album in many years.

Hi, I've got another request.

I'm interested in listening to heavy metal bands with female singers. I've listened to some Arch Enemy and Lacuna Coil, and I'm interested in bands with a similar sound to either of those two groups. I'm not interested in overly poppy or not very good stuff like Evanescence, Nightwish or Kittie, thanks.

I'm kinda stuck in a rut as far as my music goes. The main thing I want from my music is passion. So much of current Indie stuff seems kinda sterile to me (plus the usual male singing voice gets on my nerves EG Bon Iyer). My favorite bands are stuff like Gogol Bordello, Mumford and Sons, Gaslight Anthem , old Bruce Springsteen and The Who. Stuff thats big energetic passionate. I'm totally great with heavy stuff as long as theres lyrics and singing not growling. Sorry if I'm being too broad.

I'm looking for music that's as energetic and confessional as Weezer's Pinkerton, thought I'm a little scared that it is the pinnacle of that kind of music and I'll have to settle for less. The Wren's Meadowlands is pretty loving close though. But yeah, music like that.
If you're at all into hip hop Sage Francis does this sorta stuff all the time

I have just discovered Skrillex, and hoo boy... I want more! Problem is, people say he's dubstep, but I don't fancy much else people tend to stuff into that bag, and Spotify I feel isn't much help in finding more.

I think what I really like about his stuff is the contrasts between chugging pounding choppy brutality and easygoing melodious cheerfulness. And the rythms and syncopation of course. The non-simplicity. I'm mostly a metal fan, if that helps.

What can you guys recommend I stuff my ears full of?
Annother good artist in this category is Deadmau5 but he's kinda a douche as a person so take that for what you will about supporting the mans music.

It's my first post is this thread so if I'm doing something very wrong please let me know, but I've read the OP.

I'm a big fan of heavy accents in rock. Particularly Scottish , I love Biffy Clyro, Twin Atlantic and Sucioperro. I'm basically looking for more artists in a similar vain to satisfy my accent 'fetish'.

Also while I'm here I'd like to get into some electronic music but I've only really listed to Deadmau5 and LCD Soundsystem so where should I start?

Thanks

If you liked the big beats and bombast of deadmau5 then early prodigy might be up your alley check music for the jilted generation

I'm looking for some real angry/frustrated music. Lately, Pissed Jeans has been fitting the bill, but I've gone through their whole output several times over and I'm looking for something similar. They definitely channel Black Flag and I'm very familiar with most 80s hardcore, punk, etc.

Other bands that kind of fit the attitude I'm looking for include Poison Idea, early Ceremony, early hosed Up, and some Nine Inch Nails songs like Last or Heresy. Harsh, yelling/yowling vocals like old Henry Rollins and the singer from Pissed Jeans are kind of where I'm heading here. Artists who are still making music is a plus, but not required.

Punk and metal generally fit the bill here, but I'm pretty open to other genres that just ooze apathy, anger, disgust, or general discomfort/dissatisfaction with life. Energy is somewhat important, and a good example of what's gotten me so into Pissed Jeans can be summed up in the following aggressively apathetic track:

I would recommend Death Grips. Crazy energy yowling vocals still making a huge amount of music. Check out "the money store"

Pretty Lights seems to be right up your street. Funky Electronica heavy on bass vocals are minimal on most tracks, has the ability to be background music when you want it to be but you can go to a live show and catch all the musical detail.

I'm beginning to explore rap and having a great time, but there is a type I like the most: stuff like Kanye, meaning very produced, songs that are dynamic and surprise you. A song with a few beats that exist mostly to back the lyrics isn't as enjoyable to me.

So if I want rap with very dynamic and creative sound, where should I head?

Run The Jewels might be what you're looking for, EL-P is a great producer.

So lately I've been listening to....female fronted European pop/punk/synth or something? I dunno. I've been listening to Florence + the machine's Kiss with a fist, Icona Pop's I love it and La Roux bulletproof. I think a key part of it is the fairly rapid delivery of the lyrics for most of those songs. What else fits that super vague profile?

I realise that the general genre of what I'm asking for is basically "skate punk/pop punk" but I'm specifically looking for stuff that sounds like Teenage Bottlerocket and in particular the album "They Came from the Shadows". In a nutshell it is Ramones played by guys into metal so they added a bunch of riffs and leads that you don't tend to get in punk.
