[nearlythere]

hey guys,

i want to rediscover my old music and find new stuff,but i'ma big lazylaze.

any suggestions. prgrams? websites?

[ampdewamp1342]

:)Well, i listen to alot of Christian Rock so i'd suggest Bands like Kutless, Switchfoot, and Hyperstatic Union, but it really depends on what u like.:; :)

[Harley Quinn]

if you could give us a bit more information about what you like, i'm sure we'll be able to give a better range of artists to listen to :-)

[NovaCoru]

I can send you a list of a bunch of awesome indie bands if you'd be interested. If your not, I recommend listening to Arcade Fire, The Decemberists and Neutral Milk Hotel

[Fiction]

Go on Last FM, can listen to music free and will tell you a load of music similar to what you already listen too :)

[foot soldier]

I'm really digging the easy stuff right now :) Lots of Jack Johnson, She & Him, and Train in my iPod right now.

Also note the world always needs more White Stripes fans.

awesome! i'm new on this site and you guys rock! so much help!

ok. SO i would love to get some info on those indie bands and stuff. i can't get enough of arcade fire. C A N T GET E N O U G H. I also tried out LastFM. It's pretty snazzy but not what I'M looking for.

but what i meant was more of something that can go through my music library on itunes, like the genius function, and make playlists for me. genius is ok, but it's not wonderful. any of you have suggestions for that??:yeah:

I'll keep searching and post my results here to help all of you lovely peeps out.

Give me a specific genre, and I will give you wonders.

I specialize in psychedelic acid, space, drone, stoner, noise rock and drone metal - mostly drug stuff.

And my alter ego's Dark electro, terror ebm, darkwave and whatever that ugly ass have in his pants - mostly polyvinyl industrial stuff. :)

[Syvelocin]

Try Pandora Radio too. You type in an artist or song and it generates a continuous stream of music based on the style of whatever you typed in.

You like indie bands? My iTunes library is pretty much half indie and have industrial XD I love Arcade Fire myself. The Airborne Toxic Event, Florence & The Machine, Imogen Heap, Glen Hansard, Hurricane Bells, Manchester Orchestra, Tegan & Sara. Of course there's more, but I tried to stay in more of the indie pop/rock versus other indie bands. Just a list you could try if you're looking for more indie.

[Hank Hill]

I suggest Simon and Garfunkel, Green Day, Blink-182, and Bob Dylan XD or just google "Good songs" XD

[Rutherford The Brave]

Dont listen to these kiddies. Listen to some Phish, Some John Butler Trio, Some Moe, Some Umphrey's Mcgee.

[Kitty Purry]

Ummm some MGMT, Chris Isaak, Cyndie lauper. :D I think thats what indie is? lol

[Rutherford The Brave]

Sometimes, I wonder why the poor kid is always the one with the best musical taste.

[counterpoint]

Well, the best way to help you would be to know what genre of music you like the most (Rock, Hip Hop, Pop, Rap, Alternative, Classical, etc.).

There are great bands and artists out of every category, but before I name any, I want to know which one you prefer the most.

[Cudder]

Kid cudi has the best and most moving music ever He is like the new bob marley. He is much more than day n nite and make her say

Hey nearlythere,
I think Syvelocin is the only one who understood what you've meant, haha.
Pandora sounded cool, so I wanted to try it too. But as you see I'm in New Zealand and Pandora is only available in the US.:confused: There is a program like Pandora, it is called mufin. My brother had it and he told me it's great so I tried it. Really easy to create playlists and surf through your music. It is algorithm-based so your recommendation always match to your songs. Just google it, there is a free version on the official site.
I hope it helps.:yes:

[Number02]

Voivod, Skinless Finger, Sa Da Ko, The Midnight Beast, The Prodigy, KMFDM, Rammstein, Kasabian, Muse and Jamiroquai..

Just some of my favourites that you might want to check out :)

[nearlythere]
