<p>So I've been running through the same songs over and over, and I need to find some new music.</p>
<p>I like rock, pop/rock, alternative rock, indie, and jazz (instrumental jazz moreso). I will not listen to bands like Good Charlotte or Simple Plan...</p>
<p>jeff buckley (rock-ish, not entirely sure how to describe him)
sufjan stevens (mellow indie music-- think a sunnier/happier version of the garden state soundtrack)
BECK (every album sounds different: midnite vultures is psychedelic weird amazing party music, sea change is chill, guero is funky and a little rap, and so on.)
