i need to buy more music, i'm dying

[Maulik]

my collection is boring me. i've been listening to the same crap for a few months now.

some skynyrd, stones, beatles, zeppelin, radiohead, muse, smashing pumpkins, stabbing westward, sting, g n r, oasis, david bowie.

some good rock/classic, help me.

edit: i think i prefer british music.

i'm interested in good composers, too.

[nomadtla]

Ever listened to Coheed and Cambria. Just something I think you like as a fellow fan of Stabbing Westward, and Muse.

[diebitter]

supergrass?

The The?

Kinks?

[InchoateHand]

Richter, the Sofia Recitals. You can thank me later.

[man]

you should never tire of david bowie.

I would consider getting into the velvet underground ("loaded" is pretty accessible, and you could check out their earlier stuff from there), the talking heads (either fear of music or stop making sense, which is a good sampler), and the kinks (I don't know any kinks albums, but "to the bone" is a pretty good sampler as well.)

Just as a caveat, some people who like those bands won't like C&C. At all. And they may want to stab themselves with scissors whenever they hear the lead singer's voice. Just wanted to make you aware of that possibility.

Check out:
Dream Theater
Velvet Revolver
Queens of the Stone Age
Stone Temple Pilots

Napster (http://www.napster.com)

Excellent suggestion...fabulous live album.

Velvet Underground, I'd suggest the third self-titled album as an accessible starting place, too.

If "some" applies to the stones/beatles/zeppelin/police, I'd suggest looking at the rest of their catalogue...enormous amount of great stuff you might be missing.

Elliott Smith gets mentioned here often...you'd probably like due to the Beatles' influence.

If you've somehow missed Coldplay, you'd probably like that, too.

[El Ishmael]

Muse? WTF man?

[Benal]

Black Sabbath

Ten years after, might be right up your alley.

[captZEEbo1]

art brut is fun new brit band
architecture in helsinki is a fun band too different sounding.

[zephed]

The Yardbirds and Cream.

That is because Coheed and Cambria have a Rush element to their vocals. Don't deny it, everybody knows that C&C often sound like Rush. If you despise Rush, then you quite possibly will hate Coheed and Cambria. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

How about the Zombies? Try them out, you may like them. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

A few years ago I was in the same predicament. I became increasingly bored with the state of modern popular music as well as much of the rock, pop and funk music from the 60's and 70's that everyone has heard ad nauseum. So-called "alt-rock" had become extremely droning and repetitive.

It was at this point that I started to explore the world of jazz(especially the 1930's-1960's). With new CD reissues coming out regularly there is a whole world of fascinating music to be discovered.

It is amazing to me that what is a truly American art form is not appreciated in the US yet is much more enthusiastically received abroad. While having in-laws from Ireland visit a few years back we were knocking back a few and I started playing some of my CD's. They were very familiar with the work of Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Dave Brubeck, Art Blakey, Charlie Mingus, John Coltrane and many others. To most Americans, though, this brilliant music is undiscovered.

Maybe not your taste, too pop probably, but I have fallen in love with this song:

Since you prefer British music, I'd recommend The Smiths (especially albums 'Hatful Of Hollow' and 'The Queen Is Dead') and The Waterboys (album 'This Is The Sea'), but maybe you've alredy listened to them.
I also agree that you should never tire of David Bowie.

Seconded. While neither classic rock nor British, they are one of those bands that you MUST check out if you haven't already.
