"Without music, life would be a mistake."
Kudos to anyone who recognizes the quote in the title. ;D
I'm always looking for new music to listen to, so I'm creating this thread mainly for others to post some of their current favorite bands and maybe to receive some recommendations from others for similar artists. And of course, general music chat is welcome, too. ;] Some of my current favorites are The Weakerthans, Built to Spill, and Jets to Brazil. If you have any artists/bands you'd recommend to me based on those, feel free to throw 'em at me. :heart: |
Isn't that Nietzsche? My friend made me a really awesome binder with that quote on it surrounded by the covers of all of my favorite albums.
---------- Green Day is my favorite and is a lot higher on my list than anything else, but I also love Foo Fighters, Muse, The Beatles, The White Stripes, Weezer, The Clash, The Shins, and a bunch of others... mostly fairly mainstream. |
It is! That sounds like an awesome idea for a binder.
I adore most of the bands that you listed, and off the top of my head I think I'd recommend Ra Ra Riot, Spoon, and Broken Bells if you aren't already familiar with them. |
to tell the truth i had to google it, but i like the quote and it makes me happy cuz i feel with out music my life would toddly suck
some of the bands i like are, Flyleaf, Queen, Paramore, Marianins Trench, and The All American Rejects |
I like the quote too! But I didn't know where it was from.
I currently listen to Switchfoot! They're such loveable, silly, talented, chill dudes. :D |
Nice quote. =3
Anyways, I mostly listen to 80's music; right now I'm on a Tears for Fears binge. |
I'm on a Victoriandustrial kick right now. I think it's event inspired. So a lot of Emilie Autumn, Sanguine Prince Artisan Unit...good stuff if you like more alternative gothic/industrial music.
|
I've never heard of any of these artists, haha.
xD! I'm such a boring mainstream radio listener. T_T |
I'm more of an international music junkie, but I'd sure love to hear some domestic bands that people like. XD
|
Yay for Jay Chou and Epik High? :3
|
Oh I love Jay Chou! I've never heard of Epik High though. What style of music are they?
|
Korean. :]
Listen to: Love Love Love Breakdown Basically, anything. I loveee all their albums. :3 |
Oooooh! I really like Loveholic, so I'm happy to hear more Korean music! 8D
Right now I'm listening to Amr Mostafa music. He's Egyptian. :D |
@ m00finsan: Tears for Fears are wonderful! If you haven't heard them before, We Are Scientists have a few songs (such as "Lethal Enforcer") that are pretty reminiscent of 80's music.
|
@Squee: Wow, Korean and Egyptian? That's so diverse :3
|
If you like korean, look up An Cafe - they are the most adorable band ever. I kind of want to steal them and keep them in my basement.
|
@Torri: That's not creepy at all.
xD! |
l-lol, yeah. I collect international music. I have music in so many languages- French, Gaelic, Latin, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Swahili, Arabic, German, Ukranian ...I lose track. XD But a lot.
|
That's insane. o-o"
I should do that sometime, it'd be great to expand my idea of music. Any recommendations for good international music? |
Ooh, which Spanish bands, squee-chan? I have an on-and-off addiction to El Canto Del Loco.
-innocent face- Me, creepy? Never. |
Mmmm. Let's see. I LOVE Okean Elzy- they're Ukrainian. They were one of the first bands to start singing in Ukrainian again- for a while all the songs in Ukraine were in Russian. I think it had something to do with the death of a Ukrainian composer or something, but I'm not sure. Listen to this song if you've the time.
And Tryo is fun French music. @Torrinne- mmm, I don't even know. XD I have such a random selection. My parents are from Puerto Rico, so I have a lot of Jibaro music. I love the Gipsy Kings. They're from France, but they sing in Spanish. And let's see... Atahualpa Yupanqui and Rafael Hernandez Marin. XD I think it's old people music though. XD I don't keep up with the more modern stuff, unfortunately |
Thanks for the recs Squee-chan! :3
@Torrine: I listen to Juanes, Julieta Venegas, Juan Bau...errr more, but I can't remember them. Oh, and Axel. :] |
No problem! :> Mmm. Juanes. I hear everyone talking about him, but I've never actually listened to him. Any song recommendations for me to look into? :D
|
Old people music can be pretty cool, though. I don't know any of those bands offhand, but I'll have to check them out. *Love* Juanes, though, and I think my friend put Julieta Venegas on my iPod a while back. My favorite Juanes song is Rosario Tijeras, and La Camisa Negra is pretty popular, I think, so I would recommend those two.
|
Juanes is actually pretty political, haha.
Try...El Odio por Amor Or something like that. xD |
