I need more music!

[Paper Carnival]

Nightwish is Finnish \O/ and I too listened to them until the bassist came in and ruined their style and their songs! Because I really think he did... some older records suggested

I've heard almost all of the older songs and saw that the style didn't change a lot. I like both new and old. All bands change by time, but Nightwish is quite consistent and you can't blame the bassist for the change. After all, Tuomas (not you ) writes almost all the songs, so I don't think Marco would affect the music style.

And it's funny how these Arabian (I've no idea whre they are from, but not the States), made it so far! Amazing, don't you think...

System of a Down are Armenians actually. I guess the reason behind their anti-war message is the Armenian genocide and especially their song P.L.U.C.K is deticated to the genocide victims.

I'm sorry Nik, but that's just ignorant.Ã,  All opinions are wrong unless they coincide with mine.Ã,  It's just a fact of life.Ã,  Some people are dumb, and they are the ones that disagree with me.

And by the way, Nik.Ã,  Your music sucks.

I feel so stupid now. At least my taste in music don't suck, just my own music (?) :'(

I will never disagree with you SIR, never!

And I will try to lighten up a lot!

[Chicky]

I'm looking forward to Gal's reply

And yes Zor, Nirvana ARE an awesome band but SLTS is nowhere near their best song. Check out the un released tracks on with the lights out.

[DoorKnobHandle]

Try out Dream Theater.

Seconded... Big time. Then check out "Liquid Tension Experiment"...

Oh and I think this...

However I hate metal/rock music where the guys are just screaming

...and this...

Killswitch engage

...clashes quite heavily... :

[Minimi]

Good rockbands are these:

12 Stones
38th Parallel

and my favorite artists are:

Relient K <- PunkRock band!
Jeremy Camp <- Rock artist
Hawk Nelson <- More PunkRock
MXPX <- Punk? :p

[Paper Carnival]

Hehe I'm suprised that someone would know 38th Parallel! I used to listen to them, they're a good rapcore rock band

[Oneway]

Let me introduce you to a band that will give you hours of listening.

The bands name is Savatage. And you can listen to a lot of clips and full songs of them right here. (All legal, it's their own off. site)

Scroll all the way down and listen to the clips for 'Dead winter dead' and 'The wake of Magellan'. I'm not going to tell you anything about it, to keep you as unbiased as possible.

Enjoy!

[Squinky]

Dude, they sound like metallica.....

[Chrille]

Get these five albums. All from my favourite period for music, 1978 - 1982:

They are all rather obvious picks. The best by each artist (imo) but if you love music you should give them a listen. Several listens before judging them, preferably.

David Bowie: Scary Monsters -80
The Clash: London Calling -79
Elvis Costello & The Attractions: Imperial Bedroom (Get Happy!! will also do) -82
King Crimson: Discipline -81
Talking Heads: Remain In Light -80

[Phemar]

And yes Zor, Nirvana ARE an awesome band but SLTS is nowhere near their best song. Check out the un released tracks on with the lights out.

I couldn't agree with you more, chicky I have the entire Nirvana collection, and as awesome a song as it may be, it is nowehere near their best like you said.

[veryweirdguy]

Could I recommend this to you?:

http://pandora.com/

Not a band, a website. Basically you put in band(s) you like and it'll play some of their stuff, along with other selected music of a similar style from bands you may not know so well. It's not always great, but sometimes can be bang on the money.

As for bands I personally like:

Led Zeppelin
Foo Fighters
Queens Of The Stone Age
Nirvana
RHCP
Pink Floyd
The Subways
Cream
Derik & The Dominoes
Kyuss
Desert Sessions
Eagles Of Death Metal
Nine Black Alps

Well. There's a lot more than that. But they're the ones that come immediately to mind, and in retrospect, probably the most "mainstream" stuff I like. My playlist is full of...er..."one hit wonders" (for want of a better term - they probably just have more hits of which I am unaware...) & stuff I'll have forgotten about for like a year before glorious re-discovery.

Anyway.....er....the point of my post? Oh yes. Pandora. Give it a shot, hope it helps.

[Visti]

Pantera.




What? It's the only band you need if you're into hard rock/metal.




Also Kyuss.

[Rincewind]

Mm, Kyuss indeed. Glad to see there's people here who appreciate them. Brilliant band. Still the unchallenged masters of the stoner/desert-rock.

And just for the sake of namedropping good bands/artists springing to my mind at the moment:
Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Mr Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk, The Mars Volta, Bauhaus, Neurosis, Skörda, Katatonia, Dead Kennedys, The Residents, Einstürzende Neubauten, GYBE!, Placebo among many others...

[Visti]

I can back all of those up, favorites being Mars Volta, Mr. Bungle and GYBE!

If GYBE! tickles your fancy, look into Mogwai and Sigur Rós.



Also I should recommend Katatonia too, if you can handle the vocals. I just find it so boring, but I can't place a finger on the music. In fact, their instrumental tracks are incontrollably awesome.


Which reminds me. Opeth. Check it out. There are growl tracks, but if that's not your thing, they have some outstanding clean vocal tracks.
