Any music suggestions?

Question

Right up front, I do not like bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco or any of the sort. So please do not suggest them.

Looking at my play list, this is what I have....it should give you a good idea of what I like. So, any artist (new or old) that you think I could get into...please, speak up! Thanks.

O.K. There's fifty for you. I hope this helps and their aren't any repeats.

Answer 3

What a great list, mirrors my own taste. I would check out the Yardbirds (with Clapton, the Beck stuff bores me), John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (also with Clapton), Cry of Love "Brother to Brother," Al Stewart "Year of the Cat," Ten Years After "A Space in Time," and ANYTHING by Rory Gallagher. As others have said, find some early blues records. I would recommend as a primer Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry, and Little Walter. All of these men had a huge influence on the burgeoning rock scene in the sixties, which has influenced everything since. Oh by the way, most country is too boring to listen to, although I too appreciate Cash and Williams Sr. Some early punk is listenable, such as the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Dead Kennedy's, and the Angry Samoans. Good luck and happy listening, I plan on checking out several of your choices I'm unfamiliar with.

Answer 4

good assortment, variety is a wonderful thing.

I see you've got George Jones, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jenninngs,

Try George Strait. If you like traditional country music, he offers a lot to choose from.



You might want to try these titles:

If you Ain't Lovin' You Ain't Livin'

In Too Deep

Seashores of Old Mexico

The Fireman

Right Or Wrong

All My Ex's Live in Texas

Honk If You HonkyTonk

Give It Away

Unwound

A Fire I Can't Put Out

Wrapped

It Just Comes Natural

As Far As It Goes

I Wasn't Fooling Around

I Just Want To Dance With You

You're Stronger than Me

Don't Make Me Come Over There And Love You



or theses albums:

#7

Ocean Front Property

Pure Country

It Just Comes Natural

George Strait



he has 32 platinum albums to choose from --- try him and you might become a huge fan.

take care.

Answer 5

Give a listen to the Violent Femmes, The Grapes of Wrath, The Pursuit of Happiness, 54-40, The Northern Pikes, Platinum Blonde.

Answer 6

Damn!Sounds to me like you've really covered a lot of ground on this question,but I will say all the ones you've got listed,do really shake the ground up at ear shattering magnatudes,and have you crawling back for more.But some of the others I like thumping my windows out to,and pissing off the neighbors,just to watch them ***** and complain,would be Disturbed:10,000 Fists In The Air,Pantera:Cowboys From Hell,Metallica:Master of Puppets,Megadeth:So Far,So Good,So What!,Ozzy Osbourne:Tribute To Randy Rhodes,Iron Maiden:Seventh Son of The Seventh Sun,AC/DC:1974 Jail Break Tour(LIVE),and Who made Who?,Van Halen:1984,and Best of Both Worlds Tour,Jimi Hendrix:Are You Experinced?,Alice Cooper:Best Of Alice Cooper,Aerosmith:Toys in the Attic,and Big 10' Record,Warlock:Beast from the East,N.I.N.,Slipknot,Red Hot Chili Peppers,Ect.,ect.But yeah,I don't give a damn about the types of music that's played,just so long as it sets my mood on where I'm at and what I'm doing at that point and time.4 Those About To Rock,Rap,or Swing Country or R&B,or any other thing,Stand up,and stand 4 what ya' believe in.Keeping it Real!Real Loud that is!

Answer 7

Wow, you put a lot of thought into this list. And it sounds like you have an excellent appreciation for good classic rock and a decent variety of genres. But you didn't list the most IMPORTANT band EVER:



Tool.



Ever since the first time i heard them in 1991, no other artist has ever meant so much to me. If you ever get the chance, you should listen to all their CDs in their chronological order and you'll hear how much they've evolved--and yet, many have tried to emulate them. None have succeeded. Millions would agree with me on this one.



Start with:

Opiate (it's more like a mini CD, like an EP, a small sampling of angst-riddled searing guitar riffs and scorching vocals.)

Undertow (my favorite, the birthplace of radio-friendly Tool)

Aenima (angrier and in your face)

Lateralus (poetic, a little dreamy, definitely strong)

10,000 Days. (a huge return, after an extended absence since Lateralus, most mature album they've done.)



Maynard James Keenan also lent his amazing vocals to bands like the Deftones and he did a collaboration with Tori Amos.



Maynard's side projects include my other personal favorite band, A Perfect Circle (dreamlike and mellower, than Tool, but still dark and heavy enough to satisfy) and a band called Puscifer.



The music is always mesmerizing and the lyrics are hypnotic.

See if you don't get wrapped up in the spell of Maynard and Co.

Answer 8

Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead

Answer 9

what about Iron Maiden? Now if you like Iron Maiden, then you should check out a British Metal band called Cradle of Filth. They are really influence by Iron Maiden. Cradle of Filth is Black Metal. Don't know if you are into the Black Metal stuff like Dimu Borgir and such.

Answer 10

Wow, you have Rock almost completely covered.



Alice Cooper's "A Fistful of Alice": very nice hard rock live album



Quiet Riot "any one of their earlier albums": material is similar to stuff like Whitesnake



The Scorpions' "Blackout": essential to a collection such as yours. GET THIS NOW!



I'd also recommend exploring heavy metal a bit. Here are some places to start.



Ozzy Osbourne's "Tribute": hard, in-your-face British metal



Marty Friedman's "Loudspeaker": awesome virtuoso album with a great variety



Diamond Head's "Lightning to the Nations": rockn' British metal album



Rhapsody's "Symphony of the Enchanted Lands": this stuff is just really cool. Power metal that's backed by a full symphony!



P.S. I detest the bands stated directly above this post.



P.P.S. I noticed egotrip1172 did not mention Tool is progressive metal with a hint of alternative.

Answer 11

King Crimson

Todd Rundgren

Traffic

Utopia

Answer 12

You have similiar taste to me!!



You need to get Dolly Parton (no joke) if just one song then try to get "Lost That Loving Feeling"

Eva Cassidy

Carla Thomas (Comfort Me)

Crystal Gayle (You Never Miss a Real Good Thing)

ABBA

Alicia Keys

Bill Withers (Lean on me)

Helicopter Girl (Cry Mississippi)

Bob Marley

Faith Hill

Eagle Eye Cherry (Worried Eyes)

Hexstatic (Perfect Bird)



Hope that helps. Would give u more but I have a meeting tomorrow gotta get my beauty sleep!!

Answer 13

Whow- you said all of those I would sugesst-I like the same bands so here are alist of other band s I like and you might too:

Ace Frehley

Paul Stanley

Disturbed

MegaDeath

Motley Crue

Alice Cooper

Ozzy Osborne

Korn

Nine Inch Nails

Pantera

David Lee Roth

Sammy Hagar

Answer 14

Well you said black sabbath so Avenged sevenfold, pantara, taproot, volbeat ummmm this ones more of an acquired taste but if you end up liking avenged sevenfold you'll like them they only have 6 songs because the 2 most famous members left to form avenged sevenfold but pinkly smooth is realy good

Answer 15

Absolutely go to markfarner.com and check out the Grand Funk-like sounding NEW "For The People" CD....After all, he is the singer/song-writer and guitar sling-er of Grand Funk Railroad!!!



Still strong in voice! I highly recommend this album!!! It's new-classic ROCK!!!

Answer 16

Since you mentioned Cinderella, I might also suggest you check out Britny Fox. They actually have a rather similar vocal style, and the music is along the same lines.



Another band I have really always liked was Prong.

Answer 17

Kyuss coz you're into Black Sabbath. I see you like The Clash, so you might like some newer punk bands like Rancid or Tiger Army. Also, if you like BB King, you'll definitely like older Blues players,such as Robert Johnson.

Answer 18

First of all, I would like to say that you have excellent taste when it comes to music. In fact, we have over half of the same artists in our music library. I don't have too many that I'm sure you'd like that you don't already have, but here are a few groups I think you'd enjoy. I know I do.



By the way, if I accidentally suggest something similar to the groups you said you didn't like, please forgive me; I have no idea who they are or what their sound is like. I'm only trying to suggest names you might like, based upon your current library. Also, some groups had only one or two really good songs, so please be objective when ruling on my suggestions. Thank you.



I have arranged these alphabetically, and I have also included what style of music they play, a group with similar style (where possible - if not, will denote with "Own Style"), as well as one or two notable songs from each.
