I have room for about 10K more songs on my MP3 player - what band should I have on there?

[LynneSin]

Need new music suggestions - no country music please. I love classic rock, grunge, alternative, prog rock but I can listen to just about anything! What band might I not have heard of that I should check out?

[GOPisEvil]

1. The Long Winters new cd is really good. Try a few of those songs.

[LynneSin]

2. Hell, I want to borrow all your cd's and upload them to my player

Of course with a 20gig MP3 player you find that you have crap like "The Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins somewhere in your collection

[GOPisEvil]

3. Hehehehe...maybe not ALL of them, but I do have a lot of music I like.

:D

[MissMillie]

4. crowded house

all the crowded house you can get your hands on.

[SacredCow]

5. How about Hoodoo Gurus?

My favorite Aussie group- been around since the 80's so they have a pretty big catalog.

[AllegroRondo]

6. You can never have too much Rush

[Drum]

11. Echo that!!!

:thumbsup:

[LynneSin]

17. I have alot of Rush on there already

Retrospective, Exit Stage Left, Moving Pictures, 2112 and Farewell to King. Not too keen on their newer stuff

[AllegroRondo]

21. If you like Rush, try Victor or I Mother Earth

Victor was a solo project by Alex, a little harder and more rock sounding than Rush.

I Mother Earth is another Canadian band, whose singer worked with Alex on the Victor project. But great stuff.

[bbernardini]

7. Mike Keneally, The Samples, Stuart Davis, Porcupine Tree, Kevin Gilbert, Mieka Pauley nt

[Ramsey]

8. The new Evanescence

Or perhaps some of my long time, little known favorites, like The Devlins - Waiting, Black Lab - Your Body Above Me or anything by Peter Murphy.

[LynneSin]

18. You know, I'm just gonna upload all your music when I'm in Tampa

and take it back with me!

[Lochloosa]

9. Mofro....

There are some samples of their music on the site.

[Drum]

10. She Wants Revenge

that's the band's name, and title of album I'd recommend tracks from.
:hi:

[speedoo]

12. Not that she needs defending, but can you stop kicking haruka, please?

There now that I've said that, I'll tell you what you should get.

"Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon"

It's a gem, recently discovered by me.

After he died, a bunch of wonderful singers put this CD together. I can't imagine anyone not liking it.

(scroll down a bit for samples)

[LynneSin]

16. Only when she stops calling me whiny

Check her sigline - she was mean to me first

[speedoo]

22. She's only mean to people she likes.

I know that from experience.

So stop whining and check out the CD I recommended, already!!


:hide:

[LynneSin]

24. Well I only kick the asses of people I like

and she knows I'm not removing my smilie until she removes her smilie.

It's a love-hate thing!

And I will check out your suggestions when I get home from work!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. I SHALL NEVER REMOVE MY SMILIE!!!!

BWHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. Oh don't worry, it's all in good fun.

I kick her, too.

[speedoo]

33. LOL!!

Looks like you have added to your sigline. I love it!!

[taterguy]

13. Shalini

They sound just like Led Zep if Led Zep had been from North Carolina and had a lead singer that's a woman from San Francisco

[bedpanartist]

14. drexel - totally unique

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Have any Free on your player?

Maybe a James Gang song or two?

[LynneSin]

19. How could I not have James Gang on my MP3 player

That's almost unamerican to not have some on there.

Just the Greatest Hits though

[Whoa_Nelly]

20. Whew! Thought you would have JG...just had to make sure

:patriot:

[Beer Snob-50]

23. Anything by the Bodeans

great band from Wisconsin.

[TommyO]

25. The Young Dubliners

"Come Back Home" was my first introduction to their music. I heard them on a local NPR affiliate that does Celtic music on Saturdays and they played this song by a bunch of Dubliners who met in L.A. and magic struck.

[LynzM]

26. A few not-so-mainstream suggestions

Great Big Sea (um, modernized coastal canadian stuff)
Gogol Bordello (gypsy punk)
Atwater & Donnelly (RI folk duo)
the Decemberists (um... weird, but good)

Have fun!

[speedoo]

31. Second The Decemberists!

They get a lot of play here:
