What are some good songs?

Well if genre is of no concern then here’s a “few” off the top of my head:
A Beautiful Lie; From Yesterday; Oblivion – 30 Seconds to Mars
This Love, This Hate; Glory; Coming Back Down; Young; Sell Your Soul; Mother Murder; Been to Hell; Hear Me Now; Tendencies; Coming in Hot – Hollywood Undead
They Say; Chemicals; World Long Gone; Babylon – Scars on Broadway
Empty Walls – Serj Tankian
Somebody that I used to Know – Gotye
Say It; Hate Me – Blue October
Come Back – Redlight Kings
The Mirror and The Ripper; Still Counting – Volbeat

Tokyo by Imagine Dragons.

Don’t let the fact that its on the soundtrack of The Hunger Games be off putting for you. Its a hauntingly beautiful melody sung by a duo just recently discovered. I could listen to all of their music all day long. Gorgeous harmonizing.

“Der Erlkônig,” sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.Here

(You did say that “music is music.”)

Well my favorite has always been Piggy in the Middle

Deine Lakaien – One Night
Whole CDs from Sigur Ros

I agree with the Sigur Ros suggestion, I would start with Takk as a new listener. ( ) is my favorite album.

Best new song I’ve heard is “Double Agent Man” by the band Bliss Bomb. I got it on iTunes and saw their music video on YouTube. It’s super sexy, fun, james-bond-ish summer fun!
