For the last 2 years i've been listening to straight rap, with a few exceptions ie; rage against the machine, gnarls barkley and radiohead. Could you reccomend me some good music from other genre's of music maybe some indie rock, pop, metal etc... Please no emo or blink 182 bullshit... thanks

if you want some good conscious hip hop music, i recommend anything by the following artists:

Cannibal Ox (album Cold Vein)

I find a lot of hip hop heads dig System of a Down. Not a bad place to start.

not me

i want any type of music other than rap i already listen to cannibal ox, doom, the roots etc

heres a list of artists i got off a couple lists that i might check out so if you could give me a heads up on which of them are worth checking out it would be appreciated;
the flaming lips, wilco, the microphones, the cure, Sigur Ros, the shins, neutral milk hotel, interpol and modest mouse

It's difficult to say because we don't know your musical taste, except for the rap stuff of course.


If you like good acoustic (more or less country) music, go for Neil Young's Harvest Moon.

If you like the deep voice and great lyrics of a ladies man, go for Leonard Cohen.

If you like short, aggressive but brilliant guitar noise, go for Surfer Rosa from the Pixies.

If you like original and not too commercial music, go for Sigur Ros.

If you like seventies music and amazing voice, go for Tim Buckley (yes, the father).

If you like soul, go for the best : Marvin Gaye.

If you like humor, go for Monty Python (not Madness, my aunt is funnier).

If you like great songs with lyrics about druids and stuff, go for Julian Cope.

If you like a great live album, go for Flashpoint (Rolling Stones)

If you like folk music and fado, go for Dulce Pontes.

If you like pure pop music and a golden voice, go for Hooverphonic.

If you like true punk, go for Husker Du.

If you like synthesizer, go for Kitaro, Vangelis or Jarre.

If you like cool jazz, go for Chet Baker.

If you like soundtracks, go for Morricone or Williams.

If you like quality, go for the Beatles' studio albums.


Only my opinion of course.

Bottom line is : there's so much choice.

He said no emo.


Minor Threat
Jawbreaker
The Weakerthans
At the Drive-In
Husker Du

check out lonesome crowded west by modest mouse, and yankee fox trot hotel by wilco. everything modest mouse has put out isnt that good, but i liked that album a lot. you gotta give the wilco record a few listens but its definitely worth it, my brother stole mine the f*cker.

sigur ros are annoying
i hate their sound
good to see the use of downs syndrome kids in their video though


U should get into THE FALL

Seeing as how your mostly a rap listener why not try something different but rooted in hip hop or something with a little soul? Personally I recommend

N.E.R.D
Gorillaz
Robin Thicke
Justin Timberlake (Timbaland handled production for JT's new album. Very tight)

And if you really want to get out there then some personal favs of mine

Led Zeppelin
System of a Down
Tool
Coldplay
Snow Patrol

yeah, the fall - perverted by language and can - tago mago.

Smashing Pumpkins- Mellon Collie of the Infinite Sadness

Yea, What's going on is super sexy. In fact, that whole album is a classic. Not just in r&b, but a musical classic!

Dream Theater aren't like King Crimson, that's the problem with calling them prog.

-AC I can hear a little bit of resemblance, somewhere though. Which is why I added in the word "kinda."

Well... that's def. logical.I'm sure many people agree that that's the way to go

Anybody like The Red Hot Chilly Peppers?

I like them, but I Stadium Arcadium turned me off them a lot. I didn't think it was bad, it's just too much of one thing.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik is their best album, but my singular fav song is on Californication.

-AC

I actually haven't listened to them much. What I've heard (their singles) have been pretty nice, but Im not gonna go buy the albums based on just that, you dig? Do the sounds on the singles reflect the actual albums?

Most of the time, yes.

Ok cool, I'll look into them. Thanks.
