The "Recommend me some new music?" Thread

Thanks for the recommendations but I'm actually fairly familiar with post rock

GIAA and GY!BE are two of my favorite bands at the moment. Part of the reason I decided to start listening to sound tracks was because the song I posted reminded me of those two.

I've been told the score soundtrack to Tron Legacy is fairly amazing fwiw

Looking for some good movie soundtracks.

Preferably ones with good instrumental/ atmospheric music.

Ha no worries! You're well on the way for atmospheric epicness so

the soundtrack to last of the Mohicans is pretty epic too.

Excellent, I'll check them out.

The Tron soundtrack is just fantastic, Daft Punk did a serious job on that one!

Dubhthamlacht · 25-04-2012 4:41pm

There is lo'ts of great new music about and I could just list the obvious stuff like Alabama Shakes, Django Django, Spiritualized , Jack White (which are all good) but I'd prefer to mention other new stuff which I think will be among the year's best albums.

Beth Jeans Houghton and The Hooves of Destiny - 'Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose' is an excellent album. It reminds me of Neil Hannon's finer moments at it's best. Not a dud song on the album. Liliputt is a fantastics song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWeE_u28myo

Cloud Nothings - A thrilling album, 'Attack on Memory', and could end up my favourite of 2012. Produced by Steve Albini. It's intense post punk with a rage and ferocity that makes stuff from the likes of The Men seem like The Carpenters. Wasted Days is belter of a song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIitQNXVgb8

The Radioactive Grandma - Sure Delorentos have made their best album yet, but I think the self titled debut album from The Radioactive Grandma will be the best album from an Irish band in 2012. It's packed with great tunes. Certainly 'Don't look down' is one of my favourite songs of 2012.

Finding new music that thrills you is a treat and all the above deserve to be listened too

Smiles35 · 29-04-2012 1:38pm

I'm trying to create a compilation of songs that give a shout out to the bands contemporaries, peers or influences. I have 3 songs so far.

Alabama 3: Woke Up this Morning.
I have a long version of this where a lot of blues artists get a mention.

Scooter - Back in Ireland
He rallies through a hell of a lot of acts on this one.

Arthur Conley - Sweet Soul Music
And once again a mention of many of his peers in soul.

It's a tough one but any help with track suggestions would be great.

markesmith · 12-05-2012 12:09am

Right, really feel I've fallen out with current music trends. Last stuff I like would have been Vampire Weekend, bit of Klaxons, Animal Collective...

Favourite albums OK Computer, Spirit of Eden, Blood on the Tracks, Man-Machine, London Calling, Closer, Remain in Light, Velvet Underground, Paul's Boutique, The Chronic, Kind of Blue, Hounds of Love (bit scattered but sure...)

Any recommendations for an old (mid-thirties) fart?

Hi,

As a father of 2 young kids I've let mt music slip a bit and was wondering if someone could recommend some new music for me. My favourite bands/artists are would be Roesey, Mundy, Jemma Hayes, Ray Lamontagne and David Kitt. I also like the hits

from Bowie, James Taylor and Bob Dylan but have not ventured into their non-hits if you know what I mean. I prefer the softer songs from the artists above generally and come to think of it too I like the softer stuff from Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead.

First up...how you would define the music genre above?

Secondly, can anyone recommend something along the lines of above, particularly from newish bands?

Thanks in advance,
Loire.

That Jigga song is exactly what you're looking for.

The only other one that I can think of is Eminem's list of the top rappers in the game. His number one is Redman.

It also helps that it's one of Eminem's best songs.

I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.

Only recently started listening to Biffy Clyro, great band. Don't you hate when you listen to a song so often that you get turned off the song!?!

marcsignal · 19-12-2012 5:14pm

Playing in Dublin next May.

Best New Irish Band has got to be Waterfords
The Dead Heavys

Everybody in the Nite is some choon. There's a video they apparently made in that they made in some burnt out hotel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_yuQBfyYNI

Saw them live and they were deadly. Think they're playin in Dublin soon.

TheStook · 22-12-2012 2:33am

Can anyone recommend me some Spoken Wordy/Hip-Hop type music?

As in not purely Spoken Word on its own, I need a beat.

Someone like Scroobius Pip perhaps. This is exactly what I'm looking for:

cloud493 · 30-12-2012 4:12pm

Flyleaf
Lana del rey
Ellie Goulding

The Beatles

For stuff similar to The Beatles you should check out The Byrds, Love, The Kinks and Big Star. All essential bands.

I'm not familiar with the others.

I'm not very good at finding artists that I like. Sometimes I'll stumble across a singer or band that I really like and I'll listen to them. I don't have a really strong dislike of any kind of music but my favourite artists are Regina Spektor, The Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo and I like a few songs by Two Door Cinema Club, anyone with any suggestions of artists that are somewhat similar to those?

For stuff similar to the Pumpkins and Placebo you should check out JJ72, Pixies, My Vitriol, Silversun Pickups, Starflyer 59, Mew and Sonic Youth. If you haven't already of course.

Bummppd · 17-01-2013 12:27pm
