I'm trying to rebuild my music collection. I like most types of music. Any suggestions?

Check out this unsigned band Modern Skirts
they are pretty awesome.

Pasadena is my favorite song by them. They are getting ready to put out their second CD produced by REM. (since both of them are from Athens)

4/14/2008 10:57:03 AM

nice thanks for the suggestions so far

steel pulse

4/14/2008 11:02:24 AM

Smashing Pumpkins
Queen
Radiohead
Muse
Jimmy Eat World

those are some of the bands I really enjoy that i feel are super accessible by anyone when i dont really know their musical tastes.

4/14/2008 11:03:39 AM

Jimmy eat world was terrible live.. i can't really enjoy a band that can't even play their own music in person.

Also... check my profile on here or stalkerspace and most of these bands are represented in the playlist i ave posted.

4/14/2008 11:06:15 AM

dang when did you see them? maybe they had an off show. Because I feel the same way about bands (I cant enjoy them if they cant produce live) and they NAILED their set a few weeks ago in Charlotte. One of the better live shows ive seen in awhile as far as sounding spot on. Jimmy hit all the vocals perfect, backing vocals were on. The only thing they didnt nail were the few areas (mainly on older songs) that they have 3 guitar tracks recorded on the record. and 2 guitars live.

it also couldnt hurt they had one of the better PA mixes ive heard in recent memory though as well.

they were opening for greenday a few years back and i just stopped listening to them back then... maybe they got better though...

4/14/2008 11:15:11 AM

well i personally like their older records better than their newer ones. (although the recent one was a nice surprise). they still play tons of older stuff live from like 4 records ago. i have never seen them live until the Charlotte show, but they really impressed me.

4/14/2008 11:18:20 AM

again ... maybe they're better now or i saw a bad show... but i was slightly pissed afterwards
it was also a large venue... i don't usually like those anyway

4/14/2008 11:25:10 AM

Opeth.

if you don't like opeth you don't have a soul.


[Edited on April 14, 2008 at 11:32 AM. Reason : Youtube quality does not do this song justice.]

4/14/2008 11:29:49 AM

^^thats the other thing i was going to say. i hardly ever enjoy shows in huge arenas. and im guessing thats where you saw them with green day. in charlotte they played to about 1000 people.

Amos. which was a good setting for it. Tremont is awesome (but i guess im partial because I just about grew up on shows there heh) but Amos was a nice place to see Jimmy.

4/14/2008 11:43:38 AM

check out Porcupine Tree, Kyuss, Mastodon, Melvins, QotSA, CCR, Doomriders, Priestess, Weedeaters, High On Fire- if your into rock, hard rock, progressive rock or metal.

4/14/2008 11:45:53 AM

A Tribe Called Quest
Beastie Boys
Beck
Ben Folds
Blackalicious
Bob Marley
Cold War Kids
Common
Creedence Clear Water Revival
Counting Crows
Damien Marley

Pink Floyd
Queen
Rage Against the Machine
Red Hot Chili Peppers
RJD2
The Roots
Snoop Dogg
The Sound Providers
Spoon
Strange Fruit Project
Sublime
Talib Kweli
Tupac

It's a long list...so I bolded the top ones.

4/15/2008 10:47:22 PM

again,

WEEN.

just for fun, let's do essential live albums that I'd download (er... buy) immediately if I lost all my music

Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen

Rolling Stones - Love You Live...and Get Your Ya Ya's Out
Lou Reed - Rock n Roll Animal
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Allman Brothers - At Fillmore East
Bob Dylan - Rolling Thunder Revue, Royal Albert Hall, and Before the Flood
Talking Heads - The Name of this Band is Talking Heads
The Who - Live at Leeds
Grateful Dead - Europe '72... and Ithaca (5/8/77)
Neil Young - Live Rust
Pearl Jam - On Two Legs
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison or San Quentin
Wilco - Kicking Television
Phish - Live at Madison Square Garden, New Year's Eve 1995
Nirvana - Unplugged
My Morning Jacket - Okonokos

etc....


Also, it is funny what happens when you lose all of your music. This happened to me about 9 months or so ago, and I really haven't gotten around to replacing a lot of stuff I once deemed "essential." Like, I have Eat a Peach and At Fillmore East... but have no desire to replace the 8ish albums I had of the Allmans... or, better yet, It took a long time before I finally realized I wanted to listen to Led Zeppelin II again.

The most notable of this happening was getting my torrenting hands on the Red Hot Chili Peppers Complete Discography. Got the albums, uploaded em to iTunes, and... well, I thought the band absolutely sucked. Weird.
(not trying to start any argument over RHCP or Zep, just.. interesting)
