a good band???

i'm in a situation where i have no idea what to listen to.. i want a new band but i dont kno who. i like Led Zeppelin, AFI, Smile Empty Soul, and Green Day. i have been experimenting but have gotten nowhere from christian bands like Skillet and Spoken (not heavy enough) to Thursday and Silverstien (which in my opinion where ok but they yell a lot). does anyone hae any suggestions Please help it would be great.

 

I go thru that everyday, esp. when you have the record collection from hell. What I like to do is called record I-Ching, I'll walk up to a box of albums and pull something out at random. Makes for some interesting listening.

 

if you want good music dont be looking for anything on the radio. but theres alot of good music, just search around. theres some people in these forums with very good taste in music.

 

T Rex "Electric Warrior" - a great album!

 

here's a few...
chuck berry
buddy holly
bob dylan
the byrds
the beatles
the rolling stones
the who
the kinks
the troggs

the grateful dead
moby grape
quicksilver messenger service
the doors

Oh man, I thought I was the only person who knew about Moby Grape.

 

there's so much good music to listen to, almost 50 years of rock!

 

well, i kinda did too. what a coincidence!

 

yes but theres alot many other great styles of music.:sunglasse

 

since you like Smile Empty Soul and AFI.

check out CKY.

You won't hear em on the radio or tv, but its real good music.

 

check out the albums IN CASINO OUT or VAYA by AT THE DRIVE-IN


they are my favorite cds of the moment

 

word on the street is that Outhouse Moan is a good band.

 

if you want to "experiment" and are looking for something on the more qwerky side i suggest:

medeski martin and wood
black tape for a blue girl
the detroit experiment
lemonjelly
catch 22
qntel
theatre of tragedy (lame name but good music)
mogwai
save ferris
skinny puppy
elliot smith
the aquabats



they all are REALLY different from eachother so i hope you find something....

also ani difranco, tori amos and jimi, janis, pink floyd and all those guys of course...good luck

The flash intro is enough to get you hooked. At least it was for me.

That was a great list of artists you mentioned, Alice!
