Recently I formatted my hard drive to install Windows 7, and I forgot my entire music collection (1000+ songs) was on it! So I started to rebuild it the exact same way when I realized that there were quite a few songs that I just didn't like in it, songs that my sisters picked. Anyway, I need help finding some new music. Recently I have gotten into Radiohead, (the) Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Florence and the Machine, all Indie Rock/Alternative I'm guessing, and I also really like Coldplay. So if you can, recommend some good music to me!

- Vampire Weekend
- Cosmo Jarvis (tho he's hard to find stuff for, his youtube page'll be good if you want a taste)
- The White Stripes
- The Dead Weather

Only Indie/Alternative stuff I can think of really, that I like anyways

The Republic Tigers
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Mute Math
The Verve
Tilly & The Wall

The Temper Trap - Sweet Deposition.
Cut Copy - Lights and Music.
The Coral - Dreaming of You.
Counting Crows - Mr. Jones.

:thumbsup:

The Boy Kill Boy album "Civilian" is brilliant. Definitely check it out, its kinda like Kaiser Chiefs/Fratellis/Franz Ferdinand all mashed up into one.

Daft Punk

Not really what you said you were looking for, but nobody has ever said anything bad about Mad Dog McRea after watching them

Kings of Leon are really good

Shiny Toy Guns

try chiptunes. the artist use old school consoles like the nes and gameboy. and use the sounds to make music. try looking these guys up : "She" "Saberpulse" "Nullsleep" and this website 8bitpeoples.com

The Beatles. Done.

Wow guys, thanks for the quick response. Ill check all of these out as soon as soon as I get some time, which could be tonight or tomorrow mid-day. Ill let you know which ones I liked (if you care that is).

Didn't you see my sig? I thought it would be self explanatory! Can't wait for Beatles Rock Band either.

everything everything, new band unique style but awesome music

Listen to the songs on spotify/pandora radio to get a good listen to the artists.

Btw funeral for a friend seem ok, im just listening to there stuff on spotify. One of my favourite bands is Coheed and Cambria although I think something like The ramones will probably suite your tastes more. I would've suggested more but it seems like most of the bands I would've suggested have already been mentioned.

Just one question? You guys want real alternative stuff like... indie stuff (Grizzly Bear, Eeels and such) or more like big studio stuff? (Muse, and all those bands?)

I highly recommend 'Foals', excellent band.. second favourite of mine to Radiohead. You have good taste.

Death Cab for Cutie! Especially their early stuff. But everything by them is good.

Oh yes, I recommend checking out Transatlanticism if you're going to check out Death Cab For Cutie.

Muse.

/thread

The Beatles. Done.

Exactly what I was about to say.

But I would also have to recoomend the Rolling Stones, theres alot of junk but they have tons of great music.

Muse.

/thread

Agreed, love Starlight, tho my friend's band does it better :thumbsup: I'm biased tho :grin:

Oh yes, I recommend checking out Transatlanticism if you're going to check out Death Cab For Cutie.

Transatlanticism is my favorite of their albums, but each one is slightly different in style, and each one is worth checking out to see if you like it. Narrow Stairs (+The Open Door EP) is their strongest CD, IMO.

i like rise against, but they maybe a little too hard rock for you so try the songs everchanging, audience of one, and swing life away, they aren't as hard rock as songs like give it all or ready to fall

Rise Against for sure, and I don't know if RHCP is really a useful suggestion, but I like them. Based on some of the bands that have been mentioned I'm sure Plain White T's and Snow Patrol would be right up your alley.

You would LOVE Vampire Weekend.
ill maybe check them out

Avril Lavinge - Girlfriend
Yes, I'm joking.

Tuesday's Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Might be up your alley

The Killers - Sweet Talk

She's Got You - Cosmo Jarvis: Recently came out on iTunes, highly recommended

OH!

Tommy Riely - Mr. Brightside

from Unsigned Act

Great band they are, glad you enjoy his work. Seeing him live this weekend :grin: Cannot wait.

He also recently supported Muse when they played in Teignmouth, he's not far from the big time methinks...

The entire Alive 2007 album from Daft Punk.

Not to mention the album Forfeiture by House Vs. Hurricane. It combines hardcore (screaming and everything) with huge techno beats. It makes for a really great effect. And, best of all, they're from Australia. Aussie pride FTW!!!

If you haven't already, Modest Mouse. Modest Mouse.

The Kooks are good, as well as This Providence, House of Heroes, and Pink Floyd. Random list, but good.

Rise Against is the best. Also, anamanaguchi is super nerdcore awesome. Look up Blackout City and Helix Nebula.

Jamie T or Just Jack. Get their latest albums. Or Kasabians, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

Muse!

anamanaguchi

Just for mentioning that, I'm repping you. Anyone who listens to them deserves some Rep, and you need all you can get =D

Yaaaay! I really like Helix Nebula and Sting Operation. Here you go.
