In the rap/hip-hop genre, I'll throw out:
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders or Low End Theory Little Brother - The Menstral Show GZA - Liquid Swords Mobb Deep - The Infamous Cormega - The Testament Nas - Illmatic Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt Outkast - ATLiens or Aquimeni The Roots - Illadelph Halflife or Do You Want More or Things Fall Apart The Streets - Original Pirate Material or A Grand Don't Come for Free (this is a weird British(?) rap group. both their albums are really hit or miss, but the 'hits' are really good IMO) Sage Francis - Personal Journals (won't like it unless you're really into underground rap/hip-hop) Common - Like Water for Chocolate |

Oh, preferably recommend albums. Don't just throw out an artist. [/ QUOTE ] To try out some cool downbeat check out anything by the following: 1. Thievery Corporation 2. The Dining Rooms 3.

He's something different and has a very mellow sound. Also I recomend Dream Theater: Metropolis Sit down with it and some candles (or low lighting) and read through the lyrics as you listen. Then find your own meaning to the story. I love concept albums. |

Re: Recommend me ANY music
Greatful Dead and or Phish, and I cant recommend Albulms just live concerts. Go Grab any Dicks Picks (the Dead) from prior to 76 or any Live Phish from 90-96
THe have them in stires, usually there 2 disk sets. If you like it you can download tons more for free. If you really start to dig the Jam Bands you can dive into , Disco Biscuits, Moe, Govt Mule and Medski Martin and Wood as well as about 20 others I can't name but rock. If you like trancey/trippy stuff, Try DJ Logic - Project Logic |

I guess working mans dead would be the standard, but I don't own any studio albulms from either band so I couldn't tell you. Though Skeletons from the Closet is the standard albulm in most Juke Boxes

lol. I just can't imagine anyone recommending those eminem and dre albums over others they've made. like I said, the killers suck, and I don't think anyone really needs to recommend tupac and biggie [/ QUOTE ] To be honest, I just named the killers off the top of my head because I didn't have many rock groups listed. Also, you said whatever we've been listening to lately, not the best, I reccomended the albums of those artists that I've been listening to. If you want the best, that's subjective, and you should have said "I want the best." Do you think old green day sucks? I haven't listened to old weezer, but I like the stuff I've heard of them. Anyway, if you're gonna be a prick about my reccomendations, being what I've been listening to lately, I suggest go with what somebody else reccomended, Mac Dre. |

Re: Recommend me ANY music
Miles Davis - My Funny Valentine + Four and More. this is his second quintet kicking ass at carnegie hall. Miles said the band got in a huge fight before the show and everyone was mad as hell at each other and that's why it kicks so much ass. tony williams, then 18, also lights a fire under everyone else better than anyone on this record.
Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello - Painted From Memory. I think these are some of the best songs ever written. this album is perfect. Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra - Concert in the Garden. My personal favorite living composer, easily the most unique composer in jazz today. Fred Hersch and Bill Frisell - Songs we know. Fred is a Bill Evans disciple and Frisell is Frisell. Very textural album considering it's a piano/guitar duo. Ben Monder - Excavation. very very modern compositions for guitar, bass, drums and voice (wordless). John Coltrane - The Olatunji Concert. this is Trane's last recording before he died, with Alice Coltrae, Rashied Ali, Jimmy Garrison and Pharoah Sanders. Extremely noisy and avant garde, but possibly some of the most searing music every recorded. Trane sounds like he is staring down death on this. |

Re: Recommend me ANY music
The best CD I bought this year was released in 1999. It's from a band called Union. The band has Bruce Kulick from Kiss and John Corabi from Motley Crue. I'm not a big Kiss or Crue fan, but this cd is great. It's hard to find in my area though, but you can get it here:
Union Some other good CDs I bought this year (I'm probably skipping a bunch, but I buy anywhere from 5-10 CDs a month on average. Black Label Society - Mafia Nickelback - All the Wrong Reasons Disturbed - 10,000 Fists Stevie Ray Vaughan - Essential SRV I'm drawing a blank right now. I'm at work. I've bought some real turds this year, but these are above are pretty good. Trust me on the Union CD. If you want to sample some songs, my favorites are "Robin's Song" and "Love (I don't it anymore)". |

Re: Recommend me ANY music
this band is pretty indie/hipster but i can't remember anyone ever posting about them. Le Tigre, a very "different" sound, but fun to listen to when I'm getting ready to go out. Kinda feminist/political punkish/8th grade garage band energy and sound:
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Another CD I absolutely love (and hipster but I haven't heard anyone talk about it either), Nouvelle Vague. All '80's punk covers, not exactly how you would expect to hear them.
