Recommend me ANY music
 

I'm looking for non-indie stuff. I don't care if it's techno, jazz, pop, classical, metal, rap, new, old, etc. Whatever you like listening to and have been diggin' lately, just spout it off and I'll do my best to get a copy of it and I'll give it a short review.

Oh, preferably recommend albums. Don't just throw out an artist.

Re: Recommend me ANY music
 

Currently, I lean towards the heavy metal/hard rock camp (I won't mention anything by metallica since that's obvious). The 2 best albums I bought this year

Black Label Society - Mafia
Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists

Other albums I've purchased (some with mixed feeling) are

Megadeath - Greatest Hits
Nickelback - All the Right Reasons
Seether - Karma & Effect
Sevendust - Next
Shinedown - Us & Them
Trapt - Someone in Control

Re: Recommend me ANY music
 

Kev,

My roomate's a huge Trapt fan so I hear her play it a lot. Nickelback, Shinedown, and Seether I've heard from various places (I recall vaguely liking the first Nickelback album) and I've been generally unimpressed. I'll look into the other things, though. Thanks!

(I actually was big into the first Disturbed album and still listen to it once in a while)

Kate Rusby - I'd recommend "10" - English Folk singer

Re: Recommend me ANY music

Sublime - 40oz. to freedom.

Also try:

John Coltrane - Giant Steps
Muddy Waters - Any greatist hits album
John Lee Hooker - same
Pavement - Crooked Rain/Crooked Rain
Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole

Wow. Those were some random-ass picks.

Re: Recommend me ANY music
 

Rap:
Mac Dre: Thizzelle Washington, Ronald Dregan

Re: Recommend me ANY music
 

Download some Creed... just 'cause.


For real though... Stuff that isnt talked about on these boards that I really really really dig (though, it seems likely that you've heard it all)

Exile in guyville - Liz Phair
I see a darkness - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
American Water - Silver Jews
Low - Bowie
Marquee Moon - Television

Gorham swears by Bricolage - Amon Tobin.

Give Born to Run - Springsteen another listen... it might be as good as an album gets.

Also, FWIW, I should finish 1.5 GB torrent of NMH stuff tomrrow or the next day. In addition to all the studio stuff, it includes some rare tracks, rare demos, 2 sets of unreleased demos and maybe 15 concerts (all (or almost all) from the post ITAOTS era). If any one is interested, I could put it up somewhere.

Re: Recommend me ANY music
 

Hmm, let's see if I can dig up some rec's that haven't come up much in the music threads around here...

Hip Hop / Rap
---
A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm and The Low End Theory
Atmosphere - The Lucy Ford EPs, God Loves Ugly and You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having
Dr. Dre - The Chronic and 2001
Jay-Z - pretty much every album
NWA - Straight Outta Compton

Stuff Indie Peoples Like But I Don't See Mentioned Much
---
Beta Band - The 3 EPs and Hot Shots II
Cake - pretty much every album
Daft Punk - Discovery
Neko Case - Blacklisted
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

Guilty Pop / Rock Pleasures Of Mine
---
Fastball - All the Pain Money Can Buy
Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales and In Between Dreams
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (yes, I like this album.)
Lit - A Place in the Sun
Something Corporate - Leaving Through the Window
Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit (piano-pop solo project of SC's lead singer, with Tommy Lee on drums)

And a couple albums I've been name-dropping in threads but haven't seen pop up in many other's lists/posts:

Oranger - New Comes and Goes
Junior Senior - D-D-Don't Stop the Beat and Hey Hey My My Yo Yo

And I'll tack on some general love for Rage Against the Machine, Reel Big Fish, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt, Matchbox 20 and Third Eye Blind.

Now that my indie cred is shattered, I'll go in crawl into a corner and listen to some Neutral Milk Hotel so I feel clean again.
