Music Recommendation Thread

[Pamp]

I am so out of the music scene right now. I know not what is popular or what the cool kids are listening to. Please recommend some artists and albums.

I enjoy the stylings of:

Beastie Boys
Run DMC
Prince
Linkin Park
Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix
Van Halen
Metallica

[Steeven]

I will always recommend Weezer:



Oh, and try System of a Down:

Have you heard of Them Crooked Vultures? It's made up of Dave Ghrol (Foo Fighters) on drums, John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) on bass, and the lead singer from Queens of the Stone Age on guitar and vocals. Very cool stuff!

House of Heroes just released a new album called "Suburba". It's awesome, but I still probably like their last album "The End is Not the End" a tad more. (progressive pop-rock stuff, very Beatles influenced)

Diamondsnake of course. (I already made a thread for them)

[Arthur Ratnik]

A friend of mine just recommended House of Heroes and Them Crooked Vultures to me the other day, I guess this confirms that I have to check them out. Mastadon might be up your alley. White Stripes are great hard rock.

I looooooove Mastodon.

Their older stuff is much more metalcore, their newer stuff is very modern prog metal(core). the new album was also released instrumentally which I LOVE.

[Pamp]

I got the new Arcade Fire album. Good stuff so far.

[Frank Castle]

Never heard of Them Crooked Vultures but I'll check them out.

I'm totally diggin Angels of the Airwaves. It has a former Blink 182 member in the band but it is nothing like Blink.

[Hair-Metal Hero]

Iron Maiden
AC/DC
Queen
Judas Priest
Manowar
Def Leppard
Scorpions
Anything with Dio

The Dead Weather- Jack White, the guitarist from Queens of the Stone Age, the singer from The Kills Allison Mosshart and the bass player from The Raconteurs. Crunchy bluesy hard rock. Really good stuff. The new album Sea of Cowards leans a little to the Led Zep side of things but their first album Horehound is also awesome.

Speaking of Jack White the new White Stripes live album is also killer.

[FleaBeard]

Blues/Rock - The Black Keys, Seasick Steve
Southern Rock - Drive-By Truckers, Southern Culture on the Skids
Country(ish) - Ryan Bingham, Jason Isbell
Folky Rock - Ben Harper, Jack Johnson
Rap/Hip-Hop - Gnarls Barkley, Outkast (Beasties of course, but you've got them already)

E for Everyone by Kirby Krackle has been really fun to listen to.

[OZNO]

If you dig female vocalist, Florence + the Machine and Bat for Lashes are awesome!
I also recommend a show on the Sundance Channel "Live from Abbey Road". There are some great artists on that show! We just got rid of cable and I miss that show already!
