Need some song recommendations!

[Brickhouse]

So here I am with 2 $30 iTunes cards looking to download some good tunes, but I can't think of a damned thing to get.

Mostly because I'm out of touch on the new music over there.

Need some help. Throw out some favorite tunes that I can't think of. What are some MUST HAVE tunes! I listen to any and everything, so go nuts.

Thanks for the help :thumbs:

You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand. :love:
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand.

That's right, I'm a Dusty fan. Got a problem with that? :angry:

 

[marcsheldon]

Jack Johnson's new album is a great one to have.

 

[boonedoggle]

I'm digging Deathcab for Cutie and All American Rejects

 

[nfulton]

I'll agree with Grateful1...I have been on a total Lou Reed kick as of late.

 

[stevehawk]

The new Red Hot Chili Peppers CD is great!

 

[Strayvector]

The current most played album on my iPod is Hot Fuss from The Killers. If you want something a little different, try The Libertines and their self titled album. Great tunes with just the right blend or rock, punk, and pop.

My top ten most played tunes on the iPod:

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
The Replacements - Can't Hardly Wait
The Clash - London Calling
Rage Against the Machine - Renegades of Funk
Danzig - Mother
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Clash - Rudy Can't Fail
Johnny Cash - I Walk the Line
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - There She Goes My Beautiful World
Lo-Fidelity All Stars - Black Flag

Jack Johnson's new album is a great one to have.

Agree with marcsheldon, Jack Johnson's new album is very good, relaxes me.
The new Paul Simon record is pretty good. For me, U2 is a can't miss, also like Death Cab for Cutie and the new Snow Patrol record.

 

[Brickhouse]

Daniel Powter – Bad Day
Ramones – Sheena Is a Punk Rocker

You folks need to get beyond the music of your youth. Few people do. Make the effort it can be rewarding. There's so much more out there besides what was produced in your teens and twenty's.

I always found it interesting that most often, when I run into folks I went to high school with, they STILL listened to the same "stuff" we did back in the 70's. Have to agree; there is so much great new stuff....

Doc,
I understand but disagree. I can't stand much (if anything) that is coming out nowadays. Pop pablum and vapid lyrics/riffs do nothing for me nowadays. I guess I'm a lot like the rest of those who like the "old stuff" lately. The new stuff just isn't cutting it for me, but hey its all subjective!

I listen to lots of new bands... both American and German bands.

Wyatt however asked for favorites and since hes a young guy I thought I should list some good older tunes (other than Rammstein of course)

 

[OpusXKC]

I have an iPod but hate iTunes. If I legally buy music, I want to be able to use it how ever I want. With that in mind, and taking into account what Doc said, you should try some small band music. I like to listen to local bands and then go see a show. I make up for the fact that they give me thier music by paying for a show. Granted the seeing a show thing won't really work out for you know , but you get the idea.

Anyway, check out some good underground, local, and smaller band stuff here. Did I mention that the music is free (as in beer) :thumbs:

Garage Bands

I didn't mean music from some one elses youth. :sign: I meant serious music. Jazz, classical, Afro Cuban, Brazillian. etc.
