In need of good music!!!!!

So i pretty much listen to everything! But I was searching for some more older music..from around the 60's...also good music to smoke to what i've been listening to lately is Dave Matthews and Animal Collective. So it'd be great to find some music like that too. ( I know those two are both completley different) If anyone has any bands they'd like to send me, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

 

If you like Animal Collective check out Panda Bear and Grizzly Bear. The fact that both bands are named after bears is pure coincidence. Panda Bear is the solo outing of a member of Animal Collective, and Grizzly Bear is just another offthewall experimental indie band.

 

If you want good 60's music, listen to The Smoke.

 

folk/acoustic "60's" music... LEO KOTTKE...enough said...Try and Stop Me, Greenhouse, Essential Leo Kottke, are good albums for starters..

Animal Collective...i would try Mum (a good friend of mine loves animal collective, but Mum is her favorite)...although not very similar, i think you would like it...Try Nalepa too (myspace.com/nalepa)..some really good chill music from Nalepa...his Flatlands album is world class, and his new Sunflowers EP is pretty fantastic as well...

theres a link to some good jazz too, if you are open to listen to some good jazz...

 

Dave Matthews is awesome. I suggest Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. The Doors is great to smoke to also.

 

thanks guys! this has been helpful so far.. i'm just starting to check everything out. Keep sending! haha

Also, does anyone know of a good site to download music...i use SoulSeek, but sometimes it doesn't cut it.

 

limewire is really good for downloading music. you have to download the program to your computer but its 100% free and they have pretty much everything.

 

Fuck Limewire. Torrent that shit.

a good variety of classic and obscure 60s on a free webradio. :hat:

 

SLSK is pretty good for downloading, but NEVER use limewire. Torrents and file hosting sites are really the way to go if you know how to avoid malware.

 

HAVE HEART!!!!!!!!!
look it up

 

for torrents - just download the program "UTorrent" for a rule of thumb, then go to piratebay.org and type in whatever your looking for...you will download a "torrent" file which is very small...after download is complete open it up in the program i just told you to get (UTorrent)...once you open it up, it will start downloading in UTorrent...way better than soulseek or limewire in my opinion...and lots of times you can get free albums from artist's page themselves (TheMotet.net has like 3 albums for free just from the last few years alone...albeit some are side projects, but still good music...better than that sh&t on the radio atleast...)

 

My 60's favs are:

"Crimson And Clover" by Tommy James & the Shondells.
"California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & The Papas.
"Summer In the City" by The Lovin' Spoonful.
"Thinking" by The Meters.
"Am I The Same Girl" by Barbara Acklin.
"These Eyes" by The Guess Who.
"Bernadette" by The Four Tops.
"Break on Through" by The Doors.
"My Boy Lollipop" by Millie Small.
"Piece Of My Heart" by Big Brother & the Holding Company.
"On The Road Again" by Canned Heat.
"59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" by Harpers Bizarre.
"San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)" by Scott McKenzie.
"Standing In The Shadows Of Love" by The Four Tops
"Stay" by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs.

 

check out these bands for 60's stuff: electric prunes, blue cheer, moby grape... those are just some i didn't see.

if you want good music, well, there's a good bit around. especially to just sit back n groove to. check out: keller williams, toubab krewe, diplomats of solid sound, mighty imperials, corleone, dave grisman quintet (or any thing grisman is associated with), phish (obviously), moe, dubconscious, marujah, telepath, rjd2, sts9, eoto...

tried to give you some variety. hope it helps.
