Recommendations

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

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.

Minor Threat
Jawbreaker
The Weakerthans

Are you kidding me?
