<p>I'm getting bored of the music I currently listen to, so I thought I'd ask you guys for some of your all-time favorite songs or artists. No country or metal, please. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Lupe Fiasco
Kanye West
Jack's Mannequin
Ben Folds
Jimmy Eat World</p>
<p>Those are probably my top 5.</p>
<p>m83, it's by far my favorite artist</p>
<p>Will Oldham
The Smiths
The Who
Radiohead
Built To Spill
Lupe Fiasco</p>
<p>Thanks guys. How about some specific songs?</p>
<p>Definitely Radiohead as someone posted above, probably my second favorite band that I listen to, but the best musically. Go out and buy OK Computer album, everything from it is amazing...</p>
<p>Heres some great versions of 2 of my many favorite songs:</p>
<p>Radiohead: Let Down
YouTube</a> - Radiohead - Let Down</p>
<p>Radiohead: The Tourist
YouTube</a> - Radiohead - The Tourist</p>
<p>Idioteque, Karma Police, How To Disappear Completely, There There, and House of Cards are all good to. Let me know if you have any questions about them.</p>
<p>im a big ben folds fan- all of his songs are amazing (get the albums songs for silverman and rockin' the suburbs)</p>
<p>some good songs to check out by ben folds are: landed, brick, the luckiest, annie waits, zak and sara</p>
<p>the new shins album "wincing the night away" is also really good</p>
<p>what are you listening now that you're bored of?</p>
<p>YouTube</a> - Radiohead-There There Thats a good Radiohead one as well.</p>

<p>I love Ray Lamontagne.</p>
<p>Silversun Pickups also are an absolutely fantastic band, their album 'Carnavas' is probably the strongest from top to bottom of any that I've listened to in the last 18 months (even stronger than Kanye's).</p>
<p>YouTube</a> - Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye</p>
<p>YouTube</a> - Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles</p>
<p>Slayer
Lamb of God
Children of Bodom
Metallica
Megadeth
Sodom
Opeth
In Flames</p>
<p>Yes, I like metal.</p>
<p>To each his own :)
Great music guys, keep 'em coming!</p>
<p>Elliot Smith is absolutely amazing in every sense of the word. Once you give him a few listens you'll be hooked. YouTube</a> - Elliott Smith - Angeles (from Lucky 3)</p>
<p>The first album by The Shins is quite good as well, check out Caring is Creepy or New Slang at first.</p>
<p>I've always been addicted to The Beatles, try digging a bit deeper into their catalogue if you want to hear some great stuff. Some other classics to rediscover are Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and the Kinks.</p>
<p>Iron & Wine has put out some excellant material as well. </p>
<p>Muse is straight out addicting. YouTube</a> - Muse - Time is running out</p>
<p>Never neglect looking into rap as well, old school West Coast such as Dr. Dre, Snoop, and 2pac will never let you down.</p>
<p>I'm a metal guy, but i'll give you some less "metal;y" bands...
Killswitch Engage..."My Curse", "The End of Heartache"
Skindred- this is one of the most interesting bands i have heard- here is a line directly from their song "Nobody"......
"Blend up the Ragga metal punk hip-hop
Unity sound killer groove non stop"
So as you can see from the lyric, its a blend of reggea, punk and metal, its even dance.</p>
<p>Radiohead, Sublime, Streetlight Manifesto, Operation Ivy, Sigur Ros</p>
<p>Quite a variety ^^</p>
<p>how about newer music? 2007 was a pretty good year. m.i.a., justice and animal collective were probably the most popular releases (alongside radiohead of course) but there were a lot of good albums.<br>
electronic music: justice, the field, burial, amon tobin, holy (f-word)
"indie" rock: spoon, black kids, black lips, animal collective, panda bear, grizzly bear, les savy fav, deerhoof, of montreal, andrew bird
rap: ghostface, lil wayne, wu-tang, saul williams, dizzee rascal</p>
<p>check out any of those. you might not like them but at least you will be "hip" as the kids say!</p>
<p>Pink Floyd (especially if you and chronic are two peas in a pod)
Led Zeppelin
Sublime (most college kids listen to'em)</p>
<p>i second Muse: starlight, unintended, stockholm syndrome, new born, invincible, assassin, etc.</p>
<p>Modest Mouse (my favorite band ever, I have every one of their CD's)
Cake
Blaqk Audio
Arctic Monkeys
Daft Punk
Franz Ferdinand
John Mayer
Of Montreal</p>
<p>That's enough for now...</p>
<p>If you're okay with rap, I have a few suggestions:</p>
<p>Akrobatik
Blood of Abraham
Cormega
Danger Mouse
Junk Science
Little Brother
Roll Deep
Scarface
Visionaries
YT Cracker</p>
<p>If you like those, I'd be happy to suggest others, as I'm a big fan of offbeat rap.</p>
