[Bakiryu]

Hello Y'all! I will be getting a new roomier ipod soon, but I have so few songs in my current mine. Would you guys make some suggestions?

Your favorite songs perhaps? Any song you like, in any language, or something you think I may like.

Pretty please!

I actually never saw that movie and I just watched the video for the first time and it was scary. I loved that song when I was younger but I could have done without that video.

Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg

And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

David Bowie is so rad... his four old albums, "Space Oddity", "Ziggy Stardust" "Aladdin Sane", and "Hunky Dory" are so sweet and who could pass on his style!

Zeppellin is the greatest rock band of all time, albums I-IV are great with Zeppellin III being my favourite...

Thrice is an amazing punk band

Arcade Fire is good...
Joy Division is one of the original punk bands, they just did a movie about them called "Control"--- really good... and the songs "Transmission", "Love Will tear us Apart", "Leaders of Men" and "Warsaw" are so good...

[SleepyWitch]

Until it Sleeps (I think this is the perfect song for emo-kids :) ) and One by Metallica
the album Best of the Beast by Iron Maiden. if you can't get the whole album, go for these songs: Fear of the Dark; Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter; The Evil that Men do; Running Free; Hallowed Be Thy Name

i'll second Dire Straights/Mark Knopfler, Led Zeppelin and Girls just wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper

[LadyW]

I have been waiting for a thread like this :)
Ookay...

I have highlighted some personal favourites in a different colour. Apologies in advance for bombarding you with all this music.

Jimmy Eat World
Quite possibley my favourite band. Labelled as emo - they're not :D. Songs range from pure alternative rock with kick-*** guitar tunes, to more melodic sounds (all with excellent lyrics.) I would recommend every single song they've ever written, but here are some of the best...
23
The Authority Song
Night Drive
Believe in what you want
A Sunday (Acoustic)
Work
Lucky Denver Mint

Greenday
Okay we're going a little more punk now :) Some of the greatest lyrics ever here; absolute genius. Definitely some powerful anti-establishment here.
Jesus of Suburbia
Holiday
Letterbomb
Brain Stew
Redundant
Walking Contradiction

Panic! At the Disco
You'll either hate them or you'll love 'em. They receive alot of harsh criticism, but honestly, they really are quite good at what they do. Their music is definitely unique; an acquired taste.
Build God, then We'll Talk
Time to Dance
Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off
I Write Sins not Tragedies
Mad as Rabbits
When the Day met the Night
Nine in the Afternoon

Plus 44 | +44
Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker, both former Blink 182 members, formed a new band with some other guys no one cares about named +44. They are pretty awesome ;)
Baby Come On
Little Death
No it Isn't
When your Heart Stops Beating

The Kings of Leon
Knocked Up
On Call
Mcfearless
Charmer
Fans

Motion City Soundtrack
Strange... yet brilliant :D
LG F.U.A.D. [Lets get ****ed up and die]

Foundations
Mouthwash
The Nicest Thing
Merry Happy

Maximo Park

[byquist]

Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" is every other song on the radio now. Corinne Bailey Rae has some nice tunes.

[Virgil]

The Best of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler.

:thumbs_up Hey that's great stuff. I wasn't sure if anyone else liked Dire Straits and even Knopfer solo.

[Bakiryu]

Thank you! I've downloaded about 100 songs already!

You guys can post more if you like!

[njepsen]

anything by the Red Hot Chili peppers. Consider looking into the John Frusciante solo stuff, my favorite being his album The Will To Death. He's an amazing song writer, and its nice to hear him outside the context of the chili peppers.

[andave_ya]

Dreamcatcher by Secret Garden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixeStfe7V7o)

chances are you won't like it but I thought I'll give it a shot. New age-y and with an interesting intro.

These are brilliant (and I envy your having seen her). I really enjoy most of the songs on her album (except for 'Play', which seems kind of pointless...) but these are probably the best.

Porcupine Tree: Lazarus, Blackest Eyes, Arriving Somewhere...(But Not Here), Trains, Anesthetize, Radioactive Toy
Regina Spektor (seen her twice now - brilliant and quite funny): Samson, Somedays, Us, Summer in the City, Lady
Opeth (very heavy, but quite good): Windowpane, Isolation Years, Harlequin Forest, Damnation, Harvest, Bleak
Genesis: Mad Man Moon
Flower Kings: Monsters and Men, Pioneers of Aviation
Nightwish: Ghost Love Score, Gethsamane, The Poet and the Pendulum, Come Cover Me
Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb, Us and Them
Rush: 2112, The Spirit of Radio, Red Barchetta, YYZ, The Trees

This is one of my all time favourite bands, and I've already introduced a few friends to their music

30 Seconds To Mars

A Beautiful Lie
Songs I like: Attack
Oblivion
The Mission
Capricorn

Awesome stuff... Some of their songs are great just to scream along with when you've got heaps of anger or energy

Some people have mentioned Michael Jacksons Beat It and I love that song and I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned the cover of it by Fall Out Boy. I really really really like Fall Out Boy and John Mayers version of it...

[Il Penseroso]

get some Kinks, particularly the album Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround

highlights include Strangers, Lola, and Apeman

[Birdy123]

Foals, The Horrors and Chris T-T are great to get into if you have a diverse taste in music. Classic artists like The Smiths and The Cure are a must have too, as well as Joy Division if you're feeling particularly miserable :P Indie artists like The Clik Clik and Kings of Leon are also great too.

[Lily Adams]

Since I got you into DEVO, let me get you into something similar, that you might like even more, even.

If you like DEVO, and if you like Japan, you should listen to POLYSICS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYE8vPl4IaY (Polysics live London 2006-I love this performance especially at about a minute into it.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbfmWJBl6Qg (My favorite Polysics song)

I think I might have told you about them before. Oh well, ha ha.

They're also perfect for annoying your parents. I just wish I knew what they were saying!

Oh yeeeaahhhhh.

The one time my memory fails me! It never does, usually.

Actually, I was about half sure I had told you about them...so I decided to tell you again just in case.

So my memory only half failed me!

[LadyW]

You should check out this band I've just recently been introduced too. They're a Swedish band named "Melpo Mene"

I'm absolutely in love with their music, it's quite different...


www.myspace.com/melpomenemusic

[Lily Adams]

Oh yeah, I love Polysics' take on Psycho Therapy by the Ramones, too. It's cool. "Psycho serapee, psycho serapee...I'm gunna boogurize your home."

They are so DEVO that sometimes it scares me. They even move like them...I like it. Kewl.

[Niamh]

for something different, you should check out Rodrigo Y Gabriela. They are fab.
How about The Frames?
BellX1? I love their song Flame
Jack Lukeman for a bit of blue/ soul (still trying to get my hands on his sex love chez breil.)
Have you downloaded Silverchairs Young Modern yet? its bril!

[kilted exile]

Pulp, Pulp & more Pulp - particularly Sorted Out For E's & Whiz

I just found this violinist, Miri Ben-Ari. Check this out:

[aBIGsheep]

This song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQm7YpxgOnA)

Ignore the video unless you're interested in Neti pots.

[aBIGsheep]

I dunno, will this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZhfiZ4Rr1o)be to your liking?

O and some of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtLYRebyMTI&feature=related).

And a little bit of that (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AvSUCgTgUs).

Maybe this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwZ0OuUrDes)will make you good and happy?

Personally, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5S0dkLZoTg) is one of my favorites on any given lonely night.

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-ub--XlDBg&feature=related) gets me a little riled.

[RoCKiTcZa]

How about Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday, the first anti-racism song in the world? :lol: I just downloaded it last night and I couldn't help but stand captivated by the poignant lyrics and tunes, still resonant despite its 69 years of hanging in the airwaves. Seriously, it's good. :) Lately I seem to have re-developed my passion for old music which seems to go pretty well with my infatuation with emo and mainstream/punk rock.

[Dori]

Haha, I'm getting an iPod Nano tomorrow (8GB), but I decided to hold off on asking for music recommendations. Not many people on this forum, I suspect, share similar tastes in music with me. :D

[InspireMe]

louis xiv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr2qgFHfPXE)

:] yeah those songs are brilliant! if you liked those you might like these as well:

The Strokes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk1fl_U1dKU)
If you like this song you should look up Reptilia; my 2nd favorite song by The Strokes.

Death Cab for Cutie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0hTJF7xqV0)
indie rock. and this music video is really cool.

Of Montreal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PoJv4N1Too)
this music video is just.. out there. but the song is very upbeat and it always makes me smile and bob my head side to side hahaha.

Rogue Wave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86YGj5D6I3k)
I love listening to this song on long car rides.

And aBIGsheep, i noticed you put up a link of Justice. That band is awesome! I recommend DVNO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nWnLxYzuBE&feature=related)
"no need to ask my name to figure out how cool i am" haha i love that.

[aBIGsheep]

O lawd, I don't get single tracks. I just go ahead and download the full album. Practically anything by Justice makes me want to hug and old person.

Have you ever gone out driving late at night by yourself and popped in their CD or listened to Stress? It's a real mood setter and spine crawler. I love it.

Montreals a good mood setter too. I have all of their albums
:DDD

[InspireMe]

yes! download full albums! but instead of just listing the name of albums i was listing single tracks so people can listen and get an idea of what the bands are like.
but listening to justice in the car is EPIC. haha i'm not sure how else to describe it. especially when i'm cruising down the empty highway at 2 in the morning. oh yeah. epic.
