Recommend me some music.

[sockypants]

Anberlin are the best, you have my instant respect. I love Anberlin and I also love Rise Against, so maybe you could give them a go.

I love Rise Against, they're playing in my city tonight, but due to unemployment I couldn't get a ticket... Feels bad bro.

IF you'd like some upbeat stuff, I've got a few -

Anyone who can turn Nirvana's stuff into an uplifting anthem gets my vote, plus all their stuff just has that feelgood thing going on. Shame the whole 'cult' thing scares people off. Since when did having a 'look' make a band bad? Also, having about 30 members in your band, you figure they're probably not in it to be millionaires


More covers, just because I love em too. (note to anyone doing a cover version, DO something with it, if you're just going to clone it, what was the point?)

This is fantastic, and that last bit is completely true. Being in a band, we started out doing covers, and I always tried to get us to play them in a different style, maybe try a funk version of a Bad Religion song or something, never happened

 

[The Virgo]

Progressive Rock-era Genesis.

 

[Sp3ratus]

-snippity-

Armin van Buuren does have some decent tracks, though I like his radio shows more nowadays, but he's still a great DJ.

Anyway, since you asked for more suggestions, more will come!

Spoiler: More trancey goodness.

As for individual artists, almost anything by Gareth Emery, Arty, Mat Zo and Aly & Fila is fantastic. A few of the above track are by them, but look them up if you like it.

angerfist-dark evil hardcore. lots of emenem sampled.

I used to have a couple of the ASOT on my computer, They're long gone now, wish I still had them. I really like this,


And this.

EDIT: Embedding this doesn't want to work. Here's the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S5PwyGfMqs

 

[Dr.Panties]

Band: MY DISCO
Album: Paradise

If you enjoy that, then you can try their first album, titled "Cancer".

 

[OutcastBOS]

Well, I don't really know what you all like, but here's a current list of my five favorites

Spoiler: This metal would make you grow a beard from it's sheer awesome.

Spoiler: And finally, some techno

 

[let's rock]

Dude, two words, LED ZEPPLIN


And some more stuff that's good

 

[Blastinburn]

First I want to recommend Miracle of Sound on this very site (purchase here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/miracle-of-sound/id418956023 ). Checked it out yet?, good.

Since you say you like remixes I would recommend OCRemix.org, which is a website dedicated to remixing video game music. Its all free and there is really good music available.

If you don't mind japanese music I also recommend Touhou Remixes, specifically those by Silver Forest( http://www.silver--forest.com/ ), there are samples from their albums available.

 

[Sp3ratus]

-snippity again-

Some good tracks you picked out, especially the first one. Also, as for the radio shows, Armin van Buuren has an homepage dedicated to it here, with older as well as newer of the shows available for download. Other radio shows I can recommend are Above & Beyond's Trance Around The World and also Intuition Radio Show with Menno de Jong, which is also my favourite.

They are all broadcast at various times on Digitally Imported, Intuition on Wednesdays, ASOT on Thursdays and TATW on Fridays. All in all, DI is also a great internet radio, lots of different channels with all the different styles of electronic dance music. Hope that helps.

Here are a few:

Spoiler: Burial - dubstep (the good kind) with some ambient and chillout influences.

Spoiler: After Dinner - avant-garde (I think?), one of the best bands ever imho.

Spoiler: Syzygys - ...no idea, microtonal pop music that makes me slightly dizzy (in a good way)

 

[sockypants]

I never want to hear of or see this band again... Really not my cup of tea. And the fans are infuriating, kinda like Escape the Fate's fanbase of screaming 12 year old girls.

 

[Knusper]

I really enjoy obscure covers and remixes as well, so those would be much appreciated.

Covers you say? In that case I recommend you some Children of Bodom. Their own stuff is a bit heavy for a lot of people, but I leave you with these:

Spoiler: Oops I did it again

Spoiler: Rebel Yell

Spoiler: Aces High - wait for the keyboard solo at around 2:00

Spoiler: Lookin' Out my Backdoor

They've done a load more like Anthrax's Antisocial and Scorpion's Don't Stop at the Top but I'm not going to list them all. Definitely check out Lookin' Out My Backdoor if you are going to listen to any of them - it is as obscure as it gets.

 

[Rooster893]

Joe Satriani is a guitar god. He mentored Kirk Hammett along with many other awesome guitarists.

And his experience shows, his songs will blow you away the first time you hear them.

Saw them live the other day and this brought the house down... except it was a tent

 

[alandavidson]

Okay, I'm going to attack you with hardcore indie music!

Not me. I'm a massive Children of Bodom fan, and love all of their stuff, especially their album Are You Dead Yet. Growls and keyboard solos just sound so right together.

 

[Salad Is Murder]

Here's some music that's not crap. I'm a big down-tempo/neo-soul kinda girl, so this fits me like a glove.

Edited for link fixin'...and I do love me some Echo and the Bmen, though I'm surprised that's the song you picked for them. Check out "The Church" if you like Echo.

 

[AnthonTheSkabot]

Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Soul Coughing, Neutral Milk Hotel, Tullycraft, Bad Religion, Rancid, FEAR, Black Flag, The Ink Spots, Frank Sinatra, The A-Oks, Franz Schubert and Chopin.

 

[Loonyyy]

OP, I went to one of those Rise Against shows. The Australia, New Zealand tour, right?
If you're into them I'd recommend some Bad Religion, and for the more Hardcore stuff, Sick Of It All, and you may like Minor Threat (Grand-daddy of all Harcore Punk).
Bad-Religion: Dodo
Generator
American Jesus
Sick Of It All: Built To Last
Betray(Cover)
Death or Jail
Take the Night Off
Minor Threat: Minor Threat.
(I don't bother with links, half of the music ones get taken down or are area coded, Australians are almost always locked out)
On a side note, anyone know of some good tracks to look up in the Hardcore/Melodic Punk area?
And I'm running low on my classical and chamber music.
