Recommend me some music.

Seeker

I'd like to hear what everybody else would like , who have the same tastes as mine. My favouriite bands are the Pixies with Nirvana close behind. Pearl Jam have alot of songs that I love. I really liked Aenima by Tool , Lateralus and undertow are ok. REM have a few songs that I like. Other completly different such as Moby and Coldplay.

Anybody have rock/Metal suggestions?

crazy angel

if you like the pixies try somethin by pj harvey
and mudhoney are a good grunge band too!

fragile

Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, At The Drive In, Queens Of The Stone Age, Deftones, Therapy?, Alice In Chains, Weezer, A Perfect Circle, The Mars Volta, Temple Of The Dog, Stone Temple Pilots, Our Lady Peace, Radiohead, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, System OF A Down, Veruca Salt...

The new Green Day album , american Idiot, is quite good as well.


That's all I can think of right now...

These mightn't be so like the bands you've mentioned but they're sooo worht checking out:
The Mars Volta: Francis the Mute/Deloused in the Comatorium/Tremulant EP
John Frusciante: Inside of Emptiness/Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-shirt
PJ Harvey: As mentioned, any album (with the possible exception fo stories) is brilliant.
Ataxia: Autmatic Writing
New Order: can't remember the cd name but it has Blue Monday on it (Moby-ish-ish)
My Bloody Valentine: Irish grunge band, very like Nirvana but a bit more artistic, quite good.

No one ever mentions Primus. Primus my good man, everything BUT Antipop. Les Claypool's side projects rule as well: Sausage, Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, The Holy Mackerel... Just about anything of his Les's you can get is good.
Also try Adrian Belew. He is a musical genius. Try King Crimson's "The Construkction of Light"(yes, that's the way they spell it). It's marvellous. Along with that, try to get Side One, a project he did with Les Claypool, Danny Carey (Tool's drummer) and himself (obviously). It's masterful. I would also recommend Faith No More, Mike Patton is one hell of a vocal genius. If you like bands who really push the musical envelope, try the Dillinger Escape Plan(anything before Miss Machine) and Sikth. Sikth are being billed as the next big band to change music as we know it (although I doubt I'll ever hear "Hold My Finger" or "Pussyfoot" on TodayFM).

Antipop has actually grown on me...

But yup, if yer only gettin into Primus I recommend Sailing the Seas of Cheese first, then Frizzle Fry or Pork Soda. And you should also check out Mr. Bungle too, but at your own risk because Mike Patton's stuff makes the rest of your CD collection sound boring *nods* Children of Bodom are quite excellent, everyone should have a copy of Follow the Reaper or Something Wild. AND...you mentioned Nirvana *shudder*....Alice in Chains are MUCH much much much better

Agreed, nobody can have too much Biffy.

Mudhoney/Screaming Trees/Kerbdog, for the grungey stuff (I see AiC have already been mentioned a fair bit).

A bit of Ministry never hurt anyone either (unless it was the dodgy 80's synthpop that the first album was made of, that is). And neither did any Mad Capsule Markets (Osc-Dis or for preference; 010, Cistm Konflict and Digidogheadlock all have their moments but aren't quite as good overall and the stuff before those albums sounds like a completely different and far more boring band)

qz

Pantera!!!

rainbow kirby

For something random here: Sonata Arctica. Yum.

Jonny Arson

Varied suggestions:

Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Queens of the Stone Age, AC/DC, Oasis, The Ramones, The Libertines, Babyshambles, Kasabian, Razorlight, Mark Lanegan Band, Kyuss, Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs, Guns N' Roses, The Smiths, Morrissey, The Clash, The Stone Roses, The Who, Doves, Idlewild.

They may not be all to your taste but all great bands/artists who I love very much.

Nea

Jane's Addiction, Ween, Eleven, Rammstein, Muse,Everlast,Mr. Bungle,Placebo.
Only a few but all deadly

after careful scrutiny of your choices id say the band for you are Abruptum.
try "Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectere Me" for starters.

D'associashun

In no partcular order I would recommend:
Primal Scream- Screamadelica, Vanishing Point
Happy Mondays- Bummed, Pills N Thrills N Bellyaches
Guns 'N Roses- Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion II
Doves - Lost Souls
Oasis - Definitely Maybe, Whats the Story Morning Glory

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA, Tunnel of Love
Jimi Hendrix- Are You Experienced, Axis Bold as Love, Electric Ladyland
The Beatles - Revolver
Any U2 album up to and including Achtung Baby

Jonny Arson

You should also check out Kings of Leon, Muse and Franz Ferdinand for something a bit different.

It always perplexes me when a recommendations thread starts up, there's always a few posts that 'recommend' some of the most blatantly obvious bands around, that you'd probably have a very hard time NOT having heard of before. Perhaps if you were a deaf hedgehog, living in an isolated cave somwhere in Leitrum, there might be a chance that the likes of Guns'N'Roses, or The Beatles are unknown to you.

Honestly, some of the bands being mentioned are a part of history, and part of popular culture in general. Don't get me wrong now, they're certainly some great bands, but what exactly is the point in recommending something that everyone is 100% guaranteed to be aware of? I'd think the point would be more towards recommending something that the thread starter wouldn't have heard before.

My Bloody Valentine: Irish grunge band, very like Nirvana but a bit more artistic, quite good.

My bloddy valintine wernt grunge at all shoe-gaze,deam pop or post rock
but not grunge by any strech of the imagination and nothing like nirvana

actually no one is grunge as the genre was made up but thats a different argument

Skellington

Rancid, Pennywise, Dropkick Murphys, H2O, NOFX, Dead Kennedys, Stiff Little Fingers, Sublime, Portishead, Morcheeba, Bjork, The Avalanches.

yeah i agree definitely
thats why i think the person should give abruptum a chance......

alternatively just google one of those websites which links bands of a similar genre, that way you can listen to more of the same.

Rossonero

I also listen to REM, Coldplay.

i like The Frames
Reamonn
Rachid Taha
But I have probably one of the broadest music taste ever!( Arabic rock-eminem-U2-Andrea Bocelli-Springsteen-classical)

In fairness avanged sevenfold are piss poor wannabe harcore.

I agree with karl tho i think its kinda pointless suggesting someone go listen to appetite for destruction or something cause 90% of the the people on this board have more than likely heard it before.
I usually try to recommend bands that not alot of people may have heard of, no to be a music snob and be like 'oooh well i know this band and you dont i am teh l33t' but just to try and get people to listen to a good band they may not have heard of and spread the word about good underground bands.
