Recommend music for other people

[#1 bro]

There are lots of threads where one person shows up and says "recommend me music" so I thought I would start a little recommendation party where just one person doesn't get all the action. That way we can all start liking newer and better music! Basically just post a list of ~20 artists and then hope that some people start helping you out, then you yourself can go and help other people out!

And, of course, don't just drop your list giving nothing in return, the courteous thing to do is to see if there are some people above you who you can advise.

LETS GET THIS BALL ROLLING.

Okay I'll go first:

Animal Collective
Arcade Fire
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Deerhunter
Girl Talk
HEALTH
of Montreal
Mos Def
My Bloody Valentine
Nine Inch Nails
Opeth
Pink Floyd
Radiohead
Sonic Youth
Sigur Rós
Smashing Pumpkins
Talking Heads
They Might Be Giants
Wesley Willis

Out of all of these bands, Radiohead is my favorite, then Animal Collective.

 

[RespectTheBlade]

I say this band a million times, but not many people pay much attention to it, so, for this time only, I will say it in all caps:

FALL OUT BOY.
Also,
Panic! at the Disco
O.A.R.
Green Day
Plain White T's
Ok Go

that's about it for now.

Definitely check out Gorillaz, and I'm going to second Squarewalker's recommendation of Modest Mouse. You might be interested in The Clash too, although I dunno how late into their career you'd want to check out (I'm not a huge fan of most of Sandinista!, although Magnificent Seven is pretty cool). Cage the Elephant are pretty good.

My list (no real order beyond FF):
Gorillaz
The Clash (pre-Sandinista! anyway)
Franz Ferdinand
Muse
Them Crooked Vultures
Cage the Elephant
Pink Floyd
Modest Mouse (though I must admit I haven't heard a whole lot of their stuff)
Daft Punk
Pendulum
CAKE
Jimi Hendrix (I should listen to more of him, hrml)

ALSO I recommend that everyone considering posting in this thread try out Pandora if they haven't already. You give it a song, album, or artist and it will make a radio station out of songs that sound similar to them. It's pretty awesome, and I wouldn't recognize half of these artists if I didn't use it. :V

Thanks! I guess I should have included Smashing Pumpkins, 'cause I actually already know them really well. Also, I've been meaning to check out Sonic Youth lately. I also already know NIN, The Cure and Pearl Jam. But thanks for the suggestions, I'll check out the ones I haven't heard much of.:sunglasses:
