Expand my music collection!

[xiphias]

I need some new music, but there's nothing I fancy. So I give it to the ph massive to choon me up, respeck etc etc Whatever..

I'll listen to anything, as long as it's music. Not this new style R&B crap though, thats not music Current song is Black magic woman by Fleetwood Mac, that's proper music

So, anything, please, I can't listen to the radio anymore, it's crap. Heck, I'm now a converted radio 2 listener at the age of 21! Help me

That makes me feel better i'm 23 and listen to it!

Try:

Matchbox 20 - Have a listen to a song called Push
Rob Thomas (Lead singer of Matchbox 20)
Jack Johnson
Daniel Powter
Lene Marlin

The Eagles (its old stuff but I love it! - Off to see them in June)

Have a word with Docevil we both have similar tastes so he might be able to suggest something.

[pwig]

I can confirm all of the above apart from the eagles are shite.

Just download the entire verve back catalogue and expand your mind

Gravity grave is a good start

[Prof Beard]

Try

Polar Bear - Held On The Tips Of Fingers

[rolyrat]

ACDC?
Bryan Adams?
Cher?
Editors?
Foreigner?
Franz Ferdinand?
Gorillaz?
Kaiser Chiefs?
Nirvana?
Pink Floyd?
Prodigy?
Status Quo?

A few samples from my mp3 collection. Youve probably got most, though.

Edit: oh, didnt know you wanted weird obscure stuff no ones ever heard of....

I have just had my music collection expanded by the radio. I was listening to a track that I thought "Hmmm, that's really good - I wonder what that is"

Put a few of the lyrics into Google and came up with the answer - Led Zeppelin, Kashmir" I'd always assumed I didn't really like Led Zep stuff - turns out I just needed to listen to it!

2 seconds later, onto Soulseek and a double CDs worth of music speeding onto my PC.

I love the internet!

Good choice!

How about Robert Plant?

[nubbin]

If you like Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, then try most of his back catalogue (he used to live about 400 yards from me!!)

Also -

Gary Moore (ex-Thin Lizzy axeman) e.g. "blues for greeny"
Mean Red Spiders
ANY Johnny Lang

For a change of tempo - Leon Redbone
Eric Bibb and Needed Time - "Good Stuff" - slightly esoteric but interesting...

James Delingpole in the Telegraph usually sniffs ouit one or two good albums a week.

Gotta have some Radiohead!

Keith Jarrett - "The Koln concert" - the finest piece of solo piano improvisation you'll ever hear.

Eminem's Marshall Mathers album - intelligent rap? Surely not?!

Al Green's greatest hits - find out what soul music REALLY is....

Howlin' Wolf
John Lee Hooker
Elmore James
Try some 60's Motown as well - sublime!

Michael Jackson's Thriller - he may be a kiddy-fiddler, but he was a genius once.

etc...etc...

Manson has redeemed himself

[Kinky]

[Prof Beard]

How about some Robert Johnson?

[xiphias]

Lots of good ideas, keep em coming

Only one I'm against is matchbox 20, because my roommate raved on about them, and quite frankly anything he raved on about I ignored, he was a ct of the highest order!

Now onto the chain, what a song

[pwig]

[gopher]

Some very good ones above I would like to add

Tangerine Dream
Spocks Beard

and recently heard supporting Blondie

Hugh Cornwall (ex strabglers doing his own stuff, excellent live)
