So I am a really big music fan. But I need new music every so often or I get bored with life.
So, since I am all out of ideas, maybe you can help me...
Just name any artiists/songs that you really like and I will be sure to look into them but chances are that I have them already lol but it is worth a try.
By the way, I listen to almost any kind of music but I'm not a big fan of country. But I do like a few songs.
But I usually listen to hard rock and alternitive and some rap
Name as many as you want
Music videos too

Hi again, beth911!

You say that you "listen to almost any kind of music". Would that also include music without any vocals to it, such as one might find in classical, jazz and folk music?

Thanks!

Yoyo ma-classical

Avenged seven fold-afterlife-rock

Trans siberian orchastra-rock/classical

Coldplay-soft rock

All that remains-death metal

In flames-death metal

Bryan Adams, Queen, Foreigner, Journey, The Scorpions, Red Hot Chillies, Santana, Gorillaz, Seal, Stevie Nicks, Sugababes, Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Coldplay, Paolo Nuttini, James Morrison, The Killers, The Script, Amy Winehouse, Lionel Richie, Embrace, Keane, Scissor Sisters, Snow Patrol, Macy Gray, Aerosmith, Nelly Furtado, Cranberries, Rik Ocasek, Kenny G, Black Eyed Peas, Bruce Springstein, Duffy etc etc, like you I love most music but not too keen on country. I always give new bands etc a listen, and some of them are really good, but Inever forget the ones who've been around a while and always go back to them :)

I totally agree with those who say classic rock!

I would reccomend: Zeppelin, THE WHO! Rush, The Clash, Common (not classic rock), David Bowie, The Smiths/Morrisey or the Dandy Warhols...

In no specific order:
Stevie Ray Vaughn
The Cure
Dinosaur Jr.
Lucky Boys Confusion
John Melloncamp
Robert Cray
B.B. King
Depeche Mode
The Smiths
Franz Ferdinand
Reel Big Fish
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Rancid
Temple of the Dog *only the one album but very very good*
Doyle Bramhall II
The Cult

Thanks.. I have heard of many of these but I will be sure to check out some of them that I haven't heard of before, later. Thank you guys so much

Hey, beth911!

Here's a link to a video that you might want to check out!

YouTube - Westminster Chorus 2007 Strike Up The Band (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rohlIKJHNZk)

Thanks!

Beth, I was like you when I was younger. You may want to try some insrumental. These bands are hard but play with a lot of feelings. Joe Satriana, Tony Macalpine, Vinnie Moore are just to name a few.

Here is my list of Hip Hop they rarely play any of these guys on the radio or MTV

Aesop Rock
Atmosphere
MF DOOM (he breaks off into a few groups DangerDoom, MadVillian)
The Roots
K-OS
De La Soul
Dilated Peoples
People under the Stairs
Brother Ali (Best Albino Emcee EVER!! )
Soul Position
Common (he is pretty mainstream now but still is better then 99% of the emcee's out)
Madlib
Lootpack

Hey : )
Some of my personal favourites are;

Greenday
The Killers
My chemical romance
Muse
The script
One republic
Damien Rice

Give them a go, youll probably like them. Sure youve heard them before though

x x x

Dave Matthews Band :)

I love
The strokes
Pearl jam
Smashing pumpkins

If you are in the usa have a look at pandora.com or if you are in the uk check out last.fm. Both of them ask for bands you like then find similar bands you might like. I think last.fm is better than pandora (I used that on before they cracked down on IP addresses).

If you like punk try:
The Clash, Rancid, The Falcon, Alkaline Trio, Gaslight Anthem, Laurence Arms, None More Black, Lagrecia, Operation Ivy, Bad Religion, early My Chemical Romance (none of this Black parade nonsense!), the Distillers, Tsunami Bomb, Hot Water Music, the Bronx, Hell is for heroes, JimmyEatWorld, the Transplants

If you like more metal-y try
Coheed and Cambria, Breed 77, Life of Agony, Avenge Sevenfold (a bit patchy but still some good songs), Coal Chamber, System of A Down, Smashing Pumpkins (definately give these guys a listen), Therapy?

Ok that's all I can think of at the moment unless you want some brit pop era indie as well?

I'm a primarily a classic rock and grunge fan, but definitely appreciate new music and other genres. To discover new music I recommend subscribing to XM radio - an excellent way to hear new music. I also subscribe to Rolling Stone and explore some of their best reviewed CDs that I think might like.

One recent winner is My Morning Jacket's, Evil Urges. The music is fresh (to me), with varied styles that has been growing on me the more I listen to it.

You have likely already tried The Raconteurs, The White Stripes, The Killers, Coldplay, and Radiohead.

A classic rocker that I recommend is The Who's Live at The Royal Albert Hall (CD or DVD). This CD has a version of Magic Bus that rocks!

Another classic rock CD that puts a new spin on old music is the Page and Plant CD, No Quarter. I like the Middle Eastern drums, and back up singing.

On the jazz end... Have you heard of Al DiMeola? You might like him, if you like Spanish tinged fast jazz guitar music. His earlier CDs rock more. He is most accessible when he has worked with Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. Friday Night in San Francisco is the most accessible to a rock fan. The Guitar Trio album is a great CD, too. My favorite is when he worked with Stanley Clarke and John McLaughlin on the album The Rite of Strings

Speaking of JM... John McLaughlin is another of one my favorite artists, but a rocker might not like all his music. However, if you're looking to experiment, sample his efforts with his band Shakti. He plays Indian styled music, using Indian musicians (Bombay not American Indians). Fast, amazing, and very melodic (to my ears). My favorite is Natural Elements.

... and you probably already know about Soundgarden, Audioslave, Stone Temple Pilots, Chris Cornell.
... on the female side there is Liz Phair, Sara McLachlan, Lisa Loeb, Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos, Aimee Mann, Susan Tedeschi (blues), Fiona Apple
... I heard Keane the other day. I am going to see if I like their music.
... on the blues side there is Buddy Guy, Freddie King to explore.

Here are more artists I recommend you try. Some are old, some are new... Tool, A Perfect Circle, Rodrigo and Gabriela, Genesis (the original lineup), Peter Gabriel, Todd Rundgren, King's X, The Black Keys, Paramore, Evanescence, Kings of Leon, Tokio Hotel, 3 Days Grace, Finger Eleven, Ben Harper, Norah Jones, Michele Branch, Avril Lavigne, Lily Allen (her 1st CD, Smile), Tegan and Sarah, 4 Non Blondes, Collective Soul, David Byrne, Death Cab for Cutie, Vampire Weekend, Rilo Kiley, Neko Case, Beck.

I was really interested to read about the music you like, I am British but in the 80's I was into American Rock, nothing too heavy, the likes of Journey, Foreigner, Stan Bush's first album was good, not so fussed now. I also love Stevie Nicks especially the stuff she did in the 80's. Keane's first album is very good, and The Killers album Day and Age is brilliant. You might like The Script, a newish band I think from Scotland.
Any case, I'm glad you replied to Beth911 because I'm always on the lookout for new stuff so I'm going to have a look at the music you've mentioned :)

The Duhks, The Greencards. The Waifs. The Iveys, The Pogues, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Scott Miller & the Commonwealth, Boiled in Lead, The Mercy Brothers, Peter Case, Gurf Morlix. Just to name a few.

I'd recommend you sign up on last.fm

It can track what music you listen to, and make suggestion for other artists and songs you might like, based on what you listen to now. It's generally pretty accurate for me.

That said, I'm a fan of a lot of less popular bands... nobody seems to like ska and indie rock as much as I do :)

Beulah
Of Montreal
Cake
Ludo
Fountains of Wayne
Lazlo Bane
Voltaire

U said you don't really like country... Me, I listen to everything that sounds good.
Well, try 'Westlife' and give a feedback..

'10 years of Westlife live at Croke Park Stadium' is fantastic...

Evry time we touch david guetta
Hot stuff elize
Number one kardinal offishall
Piece of me britney spears
Love is wecked brick and lace
The world is mine david guetta

And if you now frensh just say yes and I 'll write million's of fresh songs
The best one's OK
I hope you like these
