Music Recommendations...

I made this thread in an attept to learn bout some new bands that may intrest me, or anyone else, got any bands that are just great in your opinion? share em here!

Some bands I suggest:

Killswitch Engage ("heavier stuff")
Children of Bodom (see above)
In Flames (see above)
Paul Oakenfold (techno)
Candlebox (alternative, i think)

i have a wide variety of music, i just prefer the heavier stuff...but i listen to everything, share away! hope you check some of em out

 

well, if I can avoid angry glares for saying it again:

the pillows <- hear them. ph34r them

edit: oh yes, and the pixies of course. dislike them=lose my respect
______________
really

 

Lincoln The Chain! >P Heh, my friend's band, they do a little bit of a variety kinda music, my friend's inspiration being Sonic Youth (a band I really think you shuold check out). They seem to be doign a lot of noise/instrumental things. www.lincolnthechain.net should be the site, check 'em out.

 

If I had to pick one artist to recomend it would be Devin Townsend.

Whether it's Prog rock or metal of the heaviest kind. He's got it all.

The guy's a genius.
For his heaviest work check out Strapping Young Lad.
His solo albums are all very different.

Also, go listen to Iced Earth. Great stuff.

 

Yeah, check out the Pillows, they are great!
I seem to be getting a bit hooked on Five Iron Frenzy now too... "My Evil Plan To Save The World" by them is very catchy

 

They seem to be like Heavy metal, and they have a lot of remakes to songs as well... I came across them looking for rock mixes of church music (I got in a strange mood and just decided to look it up). So I found "Awesome God", but I like My Evil Plan to Save the World more, I should try dl'ing more of their songs...

 

*sigh*
No ones gonna check out Devin Townsend are they.

 

Hmm....

'Til Tuesday (Alternative)
Less Than Jake (Ska)(They do great covers like "Gramma Got Ranover By a Reindeer" and "Teenager In Love")
The Ataris (Punk)
Dance Dance Revolution (has surprisingly good songs)
Reel Big Fish (Ska) (Also does good covers, "Take on Me" and "Brown Eyed Girl")

Hmmm....What else....

Daft Punk! Yah!

Thats about it

 

hmm...replys...

Devin Townsend - Will DL very soon, i really wanna hear him

Pillows - Got em and they 0wn ^_^

Five Iron Frenzy is teh Ska, and mebe a lil hardcore...

I have done likin park to death when the first came out, when no one knew about em...but then everyone started playin em and i started to dislike/ grow away from em...

Got some of teh Ataris, I love San Dimas High School Football Rules, that song is great

DDR MUSIC OWNS

I would also suggest to all Blindside, yeah they good

 

it seems that guy described five iron frenzy. did you mean the pillows?

if so: the pillows are rock. Have been around for 10 years with 10 albums, each one different. Sometimes they sound like the Beatles, sometimes like Weezer, occasionally like Oasis, sometimes a but punk.. it is all very good. Can't recommend a song, as my personal favourite doesn't match anyone else's

 

My reccomendations would be:
Pantera(metal)
Megadeth(metal)
Overkill(metal)
Death(metal)
Slayer(metal)
Black Sabbath(classic metal)
Rollins Band(alt. rock)
The Pillows(alt. rock)
I wouldn't really describe the pillows as like oasis, although some of their songs are. Their style seems to vary greatly from song to song. I'd reccomend Advice, which is punkish(the FLCL arrange version is cool aswell if you like guitar solo's), Ride On Shooting Star, which is like rock, Hybrid Rainbows which is kind of alt, and Subhuman which is sort of like alt. rock. They'd probably be my favourite songs anyway, but they have plenty other good ones.

 

exit: feel free to judge them entirely based on my skill at describing them

DL: thus my occasionally hehe. It was mostly about 3-4 albums ago.
