Bolded are highly recommended.

Those are mostly indie, rock, or classic rock. I would also suggest getting a last.fm or pandora account if you want more recommendations. I think most of these would provide excellent starting points, though.

My last.fm is here.

@PandoraBoxx Just took my first listen to it. Not bad, actually. Kinda a love it or hate it album…

You checked out Juniper or Damien Rice? Juniper=Bell X1+Damien Rice before they split.

Peinrikudo's avatar

Definitely anything by Nightwish from their album Dark Passion Play! I recommend Cadence of Her Last Breath, Amaranth, Poet and the Pendulum, and Sahara!

PandoraBoxx's avatar

I like Damien Rice, not familiar with Juniper.

White Rabbits were on World Cafe this evening…

DeanV's avatar

White Rabbits are amazing. A great little fusion of Spoon and The Walkmen. Yet at the same time, they retain an original sound. Maybe it’s because of the 2 drummers.

Their Letterman performance was pretty good too.

lilgiraffe's avatar

Katy Perry – Thinking of You. Not the standard rhythm and flow of a regular pop song, it’s challenging enough to have to pay attention to when you sing along. Nice lyrics too!

PandoraBoxx's avatar

White Rabbits are pretty awesome—“I Used to Complain Now I Don’t” has their pianist on the timpani as well.

irocktheworld's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities WoAH!!! Gatta love music right? :)

generalspecific's avatar

Electric Feel by MGMT is amazing. its been stuck in my head foreverrr and its such a sexy song :)

DeanV's avatar

Hmm… MGMT wasn’t on my list. That’s weird. Oh well, they’re great too.

Tink's avatar

I’d also recomend Saosin
