New Music. Any Ideas?

[Little Red]

I've played the Arctic Monkeys to death and I want something new to listen to. Any suggestions of what to buy next?

[pmanson]

Really enjoying listening to Jimmy Eat World at the minute. Good stuff.

I discovered this site a few hours ago and it's superb:

www.pandora.com

Tell it what kind of music you like (Artist or song name) and it'll play songs it thinks are similar. You can create your own personal online radio station that only plays the type of music you like

I like that! Good find, Branflakes
Although I will now buy loads of new tunes and have no money left.

I've added 10 albums to my Amazon wishlist in the past few hours thanks to that site

Bought The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightening, Strike. Really rather good if you want something to chill out to.

that is a great site. nice to find some new songs and artists who arent in my itunes.

ok, i have just found out that there are 2 problems with this site:
1) you have to be a US resident to register
2) you need to pay! why do they give you a free trial? that is so annoying. i thought i had found a potentially useful long term site, but now it is dead to me forever
sneaky barstewards!

The Go! Team, Kasabian and The Dead 60s for a start. If you want to hear more good music listen to BBC Radio 6 more.

Di - My mates Bro-in-Law is in Engineers.

Try the Jose Gonzalez album - good classical/acoustic guitar tunes, with a mellow laid back voice

1. Just make up a 5 digit number when it asks you for a zip code.
2. No, you don't.

so why does it say that there are 2 ways to pay. annually or quarterly?
tho i have to admit that i didnt read all of the legal stuff, i stopped when it said you have to pay.
there may be hope yet!

Select the version that uses aderts instead of paying.
