adding to my collection, any suggestions

[ZMacintosh]

Trying to build a good collection of music, i have quite bit as it is now...but i can run through alot of these in a few weeks time so im trying to broaden my horizons with my as much musical fuel as possible...i dont think there is ever too much music or albums you can own or have.


ive been pawn shopping, amazon, ebaying for some nice used albums and sorting through itunes to find some good album collections.

when i find an artist i usually grab a few of their records instead of a song or an album, so here is a screen shot of my current list of music, alittle over 145artists most of them i have their discography or whatever i could amount to various degrees of used or hand medowns i could get ahold of.

thanks!!

You should give Muse a try. They are my personal favorite. :)

Looks like we have similar tastes in music. I have a lot of what you have, too.

I recommend you check out Iron and Wine ("The Shepherd's Dog") and Fleet Foxes. More on the folk/rock side of things, but, excellent music! I bought the entire albums of both, and really every song is wonderful. If you lived through the 70s, Fleet Foxes will give you flashbacks!

Along this vein, you may also want to check out k.d. lang's "Watershed," another excellent album from a great artist.

On the pop side, Lady GaGa is one of the better pop-dance albums out now. If you like Gwen Stefani, you'll probably like this, too.

I think you might also like the new album from Jason Mraz ("We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things").

Happy listening!

thanks alot much appreciated

Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

I know, the band name sounds so incredibly/stereotypically indie, but it seriously is some of the best music i've heard in a long time.

The Dust of Retreat is my favourite of their three albums. You will SOOOO not regret your purchase.

[ThirteenXIII]

if youre looking maybe for some more alt/punk music

try:
Rancid
Casualties
Fugazi
Buzzcocks
Assemblage 23
Atari Teenage Riot
XTC


thats what i can think of at the moment if i can get some more, ill throw some in.

goodluck with your search, ill have to check into some of the recommendations and osme you have in your screencaps.

:)

[andrew upstairs]

Some current favorites:

Ratatat
El Ten Eleven
Eastern Conference Champions

Some all-time faves:

The Pixies
New Order
Flaming Lips
Modest Mouse
Cake
Daft Punk

[Melrose]

Try some early Simple Minds stuff - New Gold Dream, Life In a Day, etc. Give it a fair shake and see if you don't like it.

[DolemiteJackson]

Some stuff I'm currently into:

King Khan and the Shrines
Lee Hazlewood
Kid Loco
Japancakes
Endless Boogie

[c-Row]

Seeing KMFDM and Orgy up there, maybe you could try to find a cheap copy of Vitro's "Distort" album. It's alternative rock with bits of electronic synths thrown in here and there. Shame they only had one album (and a few singles).

[cdcastillo]

You may want to try Therion, and if you really want to broaden your horizon, you may want to try non-english-language music, and based on your eclectic music taste, I suggest 2 smooth-hypnotic-voice ladies:

Yuridia, album Entre mariposas (amidst butterflies, check out her song: "En su lugar")
Muza, Album terciopelo (velvet, my favorite songs: "Amar y vivir", "Cruel", and "Oh luna nueva")


Everytime I listen to Muza, I feel seduced, and Yuridia really is one of the best voices in (shall I say it?, yes, I will...) the world at this time. Her tesitura is just great.

[moviebiz]

Take a look at Lacuna Coil, Guano Apes, Black Tide, The Rolling Stones (60s era albums as a discography is a waste), The Who, Pearl Jam (The Ten album is mandatory), and Smile Empty Soul.

Check out Lacuna Coil's "Heaven's a Lie" and their cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence". Listen to Guano Ape's "Open Your Eyes", "Scratch the Pitch", "Break the Line", and "We Use the Pain".

[AppleNewton]

Iggy Pop, The Stooges, Joy Division, for some older style music that has a pure sound.

if you dont already get depeche modes black celebration album, that one is my favorite, im not a huge fan of the others.

i also got into some worldly music, Linda http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxyM3C0jkXE
amazing performer and voice.

you may want to try some Burton C. Bell, uhm....The Crannberries...Janes Addiction...it took me a while to get onboard but lately theyve been catching my ears alot.

just off the top of my head, im going through some cycles in music indulgence myself, trying to get as much widespread tastes and influences.

[bartelby]

Pearl Jam (The Ten album is mandatory)

Which is rereleased next week.

[mwchris]

Which is rereleased next week.

Indeed any Pearl Jam particularly Ten

While I am no longer a daily listener a little Rage Against the Machine always gets me pumped.

I also quite enjoy - My Chemical Romance, Alice in Chains, Beastie Boys, and Dave Matthews Band.

[Dagless]

Going off that list I'd say give these lot a shot-

Inspiral Carpets, Electrasy (both similar to New Order, though the latter is more 'pop'ish). Maybe some Oasis for good measure, they're okay and Definitely Maybe is my fave album of theirs.

Maybe some Prodigy, the Fat of the Land is a good electronic/rocky album. Social Distortion are okay too, American rock/punk with no pop in sight.

Second the Muse recommendation. I'm not a fan myself but everyone around me seems to like them. And Newborn was an amazing song.

Oh and remove the Ting Tings whilst you're at it :p

[apsterling]

Mayday Parade, Motion City Soundtrack, and The Academy Is... are three big ones I can think of that would probably work for you, though depending on which All Time Low songs you enjoy maybe Fall Out Boy's Take This To Your Grave would be a good choice.

[DPB17]

3OH!3 and Deadmau5

[mscriv]

I don't see any Tom Jones in the list. Can't go wrong with him. :)

[scotty96LSC]

Which is rereleased next week.

Get that (Pearl jam - 10).
Also:
•3 Doors Down
•Sonic Youth
•Concrete Blonde
•The Pixies

[dingleboy4444]

I read your list and I'm not sure if you have interest in rockabilly and doo-wop songs you have a few in your selection. If you answer yes, I would recommend for you the following ones: Shakin' Stevens, Ricky Nelson, Fats Domino, The Duprees, The Willows, The Diamonds, Billy Swan, etc. I woud be able to help you but it would be easier if you inform the genres you prefer.
DingleBoy.

[MiroMac]

Mac Lethal
Atmosphere
Sage Francis
Wu-tang
Social Distortion
Tiger Army
Horrorpops

are always good listens. :)

[rhett7660]

Metallica
Fear Factory
Bad Religion
Iron Maiden
Scum of the Earth
The Music
Gram Rabbit

[rockosmodurnlif]

Check out Lacuna Coil's "Heaven's a Lie" and their cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence".
I notice the OP already has Depeche Mode and shouldn't bother with the cover if he has the original.

I'd recommend Blondfire (link (hhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015P88CG/ref=sr_shvl_album_1_artist?ie=UTF8&parent=B0017YUUYE&qid=1238464866)), The Jimi Hendrix Experience (link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QJIE9Y/ref=sr_shvl_album_2_artist?ie=UTF8&parent=B000VZPBNU&qid=1238464587)), Megadeth (link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QJPK78/ref=sr_shvl_album_1_artist?ie=UTF8&parent=B000TGZRUS&qid=1238464632)), Rage Against the Machine (link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XEE3CO/ref=sr_shvl_album_1_artist?ie=UTF8&parent=B00138KCC4&qid=1238464675)), Tiesto (link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QKISQM/ref=sr_shvl_album_1_artist?ie=UTF8&parent=B0010QEPQI&qid=1238464757)), Colette (link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QKIKMO/ref=sr_shvl_album_1_artist?ie=UTF8&parent=B001120NE4&qid=1238464904))

Amazon links because the samples are easier to listen to.
