<p>Hey fellow CC'ers,</p>
<p>I'm getting kinda bored of the songs I'm listening to now, so any recs would be awesome.</p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>bump y’all!</p>
<p>Andrew Bird, Counting Crows, Damien Rice, Eddie Vedder (Into the Wild Soundtrack), Elbow, Gregory Alan Isakov, Laura Marling, Lissie, Mumford and Sons, and Regina Spektor. I don’t know if you’ll like any of these but they’ve changed my life so you should give them a chance!</p>
<p>Isn’t this kinda irrelevant to this forum?</p>
<p>^^It’s something for us to listen to while we write our essays! :)</p>
<p>Oh… Haha! Good idea!</p>
<p>I love The Strokes, Florence + The Machine, Ellie Goulding, Arctic Monkeys, and Lily Allen.</p>
<p>Adele!!!</p>
<p>Augustana / Boys Like Girls (not their collaborations with other artists)</p>
<p><3 Imogen Heap. La roux.</p>
<p>On the whole, I am pleasantly surprised by the relatively “non-pop” bent of the suggestions so far. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so concerned about youth of today. ;-)</p>
<p>Hopefully you won’t mind if I add some older “classics” into the mix, all thankfully free of the demon known as autotune:</p>
<p>The Pixies
Start with “Here Comes Your Man” and see where that takes you. A cover version was featured in the film “500 Days of Summer”, so maybe you know it already.

<p>The Replacements
Again, start with “Alex Chilton” and see if you like it. As with “Here Comes Your Man”, I think it’s pretty much a perfect pop-rock song…perhaps more accessible than other 'mats (what you call the Replacements if you are a fan) songs.

<p>Bobby Fuller Four
I confess I discovered this song via Wes Anderson’s great animated film “Fantastic Mr. Fox”. Again, like the songs I mention above, I think this is a perfect pop song.

<p>Okay, well here are a couple more from this decade:
Surfer Blood - “Swim”

<p>Ingrid Michaelson (all, but this is a personal fave)

<p>New Black Keys will be here shortly. Prepare to be rocked.</p>
<p>Also, check out Rival Sons’ disc “Pressure & Time” if you like Led Zep style hard rock.</p>
<p>preppossibly- How can anything possibly be irrelevant on College Confidential? 
haha. btw, loving the non-pop suggestions, cause pop is so… mainstream. Keep them rolling in, guys!</p>
<p>@fascination: This is the “Cafe” section, where I believe anything goes…unlike people posting “Chance Me” threads in the main section. ;-P</p>
<p>My Chemical romance, Coldplay, muse, paramore, we the kings, the band perry, Taylor swift, amy winehouse, John Mayer, onerepublic, and Daniel powter</p>
<p>^^I love we the kings! No taylor swift though… 
haha. IMOGEN HEAP FTW</p>
<p>Hey… Don’t go insulting my T-Swift… I’m a total swiftie (I’m from the south)</p>
<p>@prepppossibly AHHH I LOVE UR MUSIC TASTE:) </p>
<p>artists: 30 seconds to mars, good charlotte, avril lavigne (I only recommend the newest album), fort minor, three days grace, onrepublic, simple plan, lifehouse, linkin park</p>
<p>songs: beautiful lie, the bottom, head above water, numb, take me under, gone forever, 100 suns, you and me (highly recommend this one), the sharpest lives, this is how i disappear…</p>
<p>If you want to listen to music while essay-writing, I would recommend classical music.</p>
<p>@clairee thanks! I love my music too ;)</p>
<p>Oh, I’m sorry, preppossibly. I wasn’t insulting T-Swizzle, if you like her, good for you. It’s just that I’ve never been into country. I’m sorry if you got offended.</p>
