What band or anything music do you suggest?

The Ambassador – Christology
He is basically the best hiphop/rap artist out there with the best rhymes and message , and the beats are classic.

J Dilla.

anything from the 90’s. They are awesome.

Queens of the Stone Age, Frank Sinatra, Busta Rhymes, Squirrel Nut Zippers

Nine Inch Nails, The Mars Volta, Nina Simone.

Tool and Deftones are two of my favorite bands and I’d recommend them to anyone. They’re both kind of ambient Rock with awesome lyrics.

I’d also recommend Sigur Ros, if you haven’t already heard of them. Beautiful music.

Ministry, Janes Addiction, Harry Connick Jr., Ted Nugent, Ludacris

From my current playlist:
Kings of Leon – Sex on fire
Ida Maria – I like you so much better when you’re naked
Katy Perry – Hot ‘n’ Cold
Jason Mraz – Live High

Additionally, you can feel free to check out my Last.fm, here or in general for a band recommendation service, based on what you already like.

Good luck!

Underoath, Poison the Well (You Come Before You), The Almost, the new Emery EP, Deftones. The first two are a little heavy but they do slow down some and the mix is amazing. Load all of these to your mp3 and go get angry at the gym.

Just listen to David Bowie’s discography, it’s a whole fucking tree.
The 1970–80 stuff is the best. My favourite is Low.

Wow, Fluther is the only place where I can hear people talk about music I don’t know. But it is a good thing because some ongs are from the 90’s and I must know everything about the 90s!!!!!!!!

For the 90’s I like Super Furry Animals. Check out Fuzzy Logic. Their most recent, Hey Venus!, is pretty good too.

For an 80’s vibe from a newish band, take a look at Cut Copy. Unadulterated electropop goodness.

This song is epic

okay, 2 new recommendations that i just love so much i have to post.

-nothing to you – two gallants
-oxygen – willy mason

i used up all my free plays of the free gallants song on last.fm

thanks everyone! so far this has been a very fruitful search!
keep ‘em coming!
