-Rufus The Cubone

I just added these areas, when there full next to each band it will have a tag, so if its under Metal and Rock, it might say Rock, Power Metal, Metal, Death Metal, Thrash Metal. Depending on specifics.

Metal and Rock Bands

Aerosmith, ACDC, Metallica, Bon Jovi (Rock-Country)

Rap, Hip-Hop and RNB
Kanye West, TPain

Pop and Alternative
Madonna, Bob Marley

Country
Bon Jovi (Country-Rock), Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney

Electronica/Breakbeat/Down-Tempo
Bonobo, Four Tet, Quantic, Boards Of Canada, Ochre, Amon Tobin, Ninja Tune

Theory of a Deadman, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Sixx AM, Three Days Grace, Nightwish, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

You have an awesome taste man! The only band I haven't heard on your list is Theory of a Deaman, and the rest i've heard and enjoyed. Nightwish is currently one of my favorites in my Top 10 somewhere.

This is a good idea for a thread, Rufus. Kudos.

I am currently looking for some good bands that are generally similar to bands like Clinic, the Archie Bronson Outfit, the Cave Singers, 16 Horsepower, early Pixies and that kind of country/folk influenced riff driven stuff.
Any suggestions?

The only folkish song I have is The Islander by Nightwish. It's a cool song.

Bullet for my valentine, Rise Against, Aerosmith, 3 days grace, Metallica, MC Hammer etc

Here's some suggestions from my two favourite genres.

Thrash metal/metal: Metallica, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Children Of Bodom, etc.

Classic rock: The Who, Rush(kinda), Boston, Aerosmith, Queen, etc.

Other: Guns N' Roses, Radiohead, Bon Jovi, etc.

I had a look into that and it's not quite what I'm looking for, but thanks for suggesting anyway.
Keep ideas coming in and I'll find something to fit eventually.

I'll give some examples of the bands I mentioned earlier to give you a better idea.

Clinic - Tusk
Archie Bronson Outfit - Dart For My Sweetheart
Cave Singers - Dancing On Our Graves

Look for Ray Charles' album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. Yeah, he's black. Yeah, it's country-western. Yeah, it's a damn good album. Yeah, almost anything by Ray Charles is good.

Try and Folk Punk bands. You could enjoy that.

~5ilence

Rap: Kanye West, Akon, will.i.am, Will Smith ( ), 50 Cent
Pop: Michael Jackson, Mika, Take That, Girls Aloud
Rock: Kiss, Bon Jovi, Phil Collins
Must Listen to Before you Die: The Beatles

I'm not really a big fan of music so these are a few that come to mind

I'm looking for a band like Rise Against... help please.

I will have to reccomend this epic genre
Hair mETAL. Now, thats epic. You Have Judas Priest, Poison, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, and the list goes on.
Then again, you cannot go wrong with some Iron Maiden or Slayer. Early Green Day is good too.

I recomend Rise Against to anyone who likes rock

I believe Rise Against is Nu-Metal. Try Papa Roach's early stuff, also Audioslave (Tom Morrelo is guitarists for).



For Folk try Nightwish, most of there stuff is heavy. But: The Islander is a Folk Song. Also try Amaranth (Orchestral Version) and Nemo (Orchestral Version).

Also Apocalyptica, they use singers now from other bands (as guest stars) but there oringal stuff is Metallica songs on the Cello and its absoutley good. They really nailed metallica songs on the Cello.

Whatcha got for me? I like bands such as Metallica, Senses Fail, All Time Low, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Saving Abel, Sixx AM, Styx, AC/DC, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, Apocalyptica, Bon Jovi, Kiss, Guns N' Roses, etc.

Rufus: Tom Morello is with Rage Against The Machine.
Edit: Oh he's with Audioslave now after Rage.

Dark: Try Radiohead, Rush, Queen, The Beatles and The Who. Oh and Boston. Some alternative and classic rock bands.

I already listen to all of those, minus Radiohead, which I despise. Got anything else?

Again, not what I am looking for, but all suggestions are appreciated and keep them coming!
If anyone isn't sure what I'm looking for then check out the videos I posted in post #8.
Anything similar to that is good.

Try Against Me!

Actually I've got what you want. Listen to some Modest Mouse.

Bob Dylan
Jeff Beck
Dream Theater

This is the story all about how,
My life got flipped, turned upside down...

The song I'm listening to right now is Through The Fire And The Flames by Dragonforce, good song.
A band I only heard of a few weeks ago is pretty good, first song I heard from them was Emerald Sword by Rhapsody of Flames.
Nightwish are the most fantastic band ever, next to Queen and The Beatles.

If you want some folk music, listen to The Devil Went Down To Georgia, by Charlie Daniels! Fantastic song.

I think I may have a band that you'd like. They're alt rock infused with country/old west type of thing.

Murder by Death - "Brother"
Murder by Death - "Until Morale Improves"

Yeah the name sounds like some crazy death metal emo band, but they aren't

That would've been perfect if I didn't already have all Modest Mouse's albums! I should've mentioned them earler.
I've been a fan of Isaac and co. for years. I love them. I still think their best album is either Moon And Antarctica or Lonesome Crowded West.
Closely followed by This Is a Long Drive...
But that is exactly the kind of thing I am after.




Hey, they're pretty good! I like it.
It's closer to what I'm looking for than previous posts. Thanks.

Heres some churn outs from my iTunes Libary

With some Alternative Indie rock.
Oasis,
Kaiser Chief (saw live at elland road and was amazed),
The Verve
und Coldplay.

For some straight forward rock
Rage agains the Machine Killing in the name of and Wake up own.
Also KMFDM if you wanna turn into a murderer.

For Techno/Dance/DnB
We Interupt this Messege by Coburn,
Anything by Darude (mostly Sandstorm though),
The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Subfocus.
Fatboy Slim is my Fave DJ aswell so anything by him is all good.
Kernkraft Zombie Nation is great too.

For General Pop,
Jamiroquai <3 <3 <3
MGMT (you can aruge there rock but I find them poppy).
Theres Moby but you could put him under Dance and Indie aswell.
Gnarls Barkly are very underated imo
Theres Cameo, and old band but good.
Daft Punk are great, you can say its Dance but meh the first 5 anthems of the album "Discovery" kick serious ricker

theres just some stuff there. I can't garentee you'll like most of it but hopefully you'll get into some of it.

im always looking for metal bands.
These bands are examples of what im looking for:
Iron maiden
Dimmu borgir
Dio
Heaven shall burn
Insomnium
Apocalyptica
Rammstein

if anyone know any good bands who are kind of similar to any of those I would apreciate some recommendations, underground bands as well as well known...

Go with Dope, Chimaira, Fear Factory, Mushroomhead, and Cradle of Filth.

You're welcome. Another band you might like:

Ugly Casanova - "Barnacle"
Ugly Casanova - "Hotcha Girls"

They're similar to Modest Mouse. Isaac is actually in it.

Another:

Yeasayer - "2080"

or

Apostle of Hustle - "National Anthem of Nowhere"

They're pretty cool.

Oh yeah and my music taste: http://www.last.fm/user/radiotim7/

Maybe try Katatonia, Downthesun and Dry Kill Logic?




Yeah I already have that album and I play it to death. Hotcha Girls is one of the best tracks on the record, I think.
Pacifico and Smoke Like Ribbons stand out for me as well.




Pretty impressive, I gotta say.
Broken Social Scene, Sigur Ros, Pixies, ...And You Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Mogwai, Royksopp, Arcade Fire...
All bands I absolutely love.
And of course Radiohead but that goes without saying.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead is a great band.

blade: Yes they are

Mr Grivesss: You have great music taste too. Radiohead, yes, is my favorite band. Saw them live this year

My friends have all gotten into Broken Social Scene except for me. I really should try. What's the best album to get?

Listen to Skillet. One of their songs (along with my boyfriend) saved my life. Here's the song -> The Last Night

I'd go for either "You Forgot It In People". (Standout tracks are Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl, Lovers' Spit and Pacific Theme)
or
The self titled album. (Standout tracks are 7/4 Shoreline, Fire Eye'd Boy and Major Label Debut)

Try listening to some of the standout tracks and whichever you enjoy more then get that album.

I really also love "It's All Gonna Break" and "Windsurfing Nation" on their self titled album. "Cause = Time" is another good one on You Forgot It In People.

Pixies, Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, The Shins, Arctic Monkeys, At The Drive-In, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Radiohead, The Strokes.

Listen to some of the stuff from Black Sabbaths Heaven and Hell ablum with Dio and the really OLD like there first cd only of Rainbow with Dio.

Bands I made bold = All kinds of awesome.

I see no international music D:
Greatest Japanese band ever, Malice Mizer.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IMqgzPeGXOw Their best song with a vid that I can find with Gackt(2nd and best singer)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=gSbAWq8YReI Best song with Khala(Their 3rd and final singer).
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OfRmfpRDKDI&feature=related Greatest with Tetsu(Thier 1st singer)

Most international bands I listen outside of Canada and the UK (seeing as anybody could list a million). I listen to Apocalyptica (Finish), Nightwish (Finish), I kinda like X-Japan (Japanese) and The Scorpions (German). Im sure theres a few others, that I really didn't pay attention to.


I added some sections to the main page.

Lars Ulrich from Metallica is Danish. So not completely North American.

ROFL! I almost forgot for a while......

But he formed Metallica in American when living in California so...its kinda half and half.



Any suggestions for me, I like Nightwish. Becuase its awesome, so I want some Symphonic Metal, not extremly heavy just decent and similiar to Nightwish.

I've been listening to The Smiths lately, I love the music. And Morissey's voice? Interesting...

One of my all-time favourite bands.
I'm getting a lyric tattoed on myself soon.

Got any reccomendations?
Edit: Also, thanks.

Hmmmm. Modest Mouse (earlier stuff is a lot like the Pixies), Archie Bronson Outfit, Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Interpol, Mogwai, Part Chimp.
I'm not sure if you'll like many of them because you have a diverse list of bands in that original post but those are a few I love.

Already listen to Arcade Fire, will make sure to give the others a try.

Let me guess: "Some girls are bigger than others"



EDIT: Oh and Interpol is awesome. I'd try out their first album "Turn on the Bright Lights"

It would be better than "You're The One For My Fatty" from Morrissey's solo stuff.
I am actually getting "Still Ill" from Still Ill (obviously) or possibly "Sing Me To Sleep" from Asleep.
And also, you're absolutely right about TOTBL, that it Interpol's best album.
I think his voice changed over the course of Antics and Our Love To Admire and I think it sounds way cooler on Bright Lights.
I'd tell you what I think are the standout tracks but the whole album is just too good.
