you know who's really good... macy gray. i love her second album, 'the id.' she puts on a great concert, too. and of course, there are all of the good old rock 'n roll bands...
Music is a personal preference thing but mine is Staind Rush Will Smith (early years when it was funny songs) Metallica Platnium Blondes Lynard Skynard Lots more but I am pretty open to assorted music, just has to have solid meaning, make me think, feel or laugh!
Honestly I would recomened just about most artists from Japan seeing as how thats all I listen to. But the best artists from Japan would be: + Dir en grey + Psycho le Cému + MALICE MIZER + Pierrot + Miyavi (AKA: Miyabi, AKA: MYV) And if your more into pop music... + w-inds. + T.M. Revolution + Glay + Gackt ~Fooj~
My best friend loves japanese music too!! Her ALLTIME ALLTIME ALLTIME favourite band has to be Dir en grey!!! peace and love xxxxxx
Letters To Cleo is great! My final bid, though, would be Juliana Hatfield. She's my only true music idol - I am so obsessed with her stuff!
I haven't heard it, sadly. But I've got a bunch of records and the song "Super Model" made me start playing in a band. Edit: And also turned my attention from the grunge scene to pop music. (Still like some of the grunge bands too but it was sort of a turning point for me.)
Ok, I'm only going to recommend albums that almost everyone is sure to like at least some of. The Beatles - Revolver (1966) David Bowie - Hunky Dory (1971) John Cale - Paris 1919 (1973) Brian Eno - Before and After Science (1977) Lou Reed - Transformer (1972) The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)
I'll try to pick some bands you probaly never heard (or don't know you heard) Mindless Self Indulgence Toadies (especially Possum Kingdom) Live (especially All over You) Superdrag (especially Who Sucked Out the Feeling) CKY American Hi-Fi Bloodhound Gang Coyote Shivers (especially Sugar High feat. Renee Zellweiger) Self Tenacious D Ohgr
