Music Recommendation Thread

[Idlemess]

Recommend bands and songs you think people should check out.

Artist name: Blonde Redhead

Genre: Indie Alternative

Song: Heroine

Album: 23

Description: A band made of 3 members. Kazu Makino, Simone and Almedeo Pace (twins). Their music has had many shapes and forms over the years they have been together; their first albums are very similar to Sonic Youth (they were signed by them). Over the years their sound has matured and become their own. Heroine starts off with a computer generated voice then Kazu sings along with it. Its a very very beautiful melodramatic song that I recommend to anyone who is looking for something thoughtful, reflective, emotional, and calming. Also, Kazu is Japanese so her voice has a lot of the characteristics of a Japanese singer. Her voice is very soft and she does great phrasing of her words.

I would recommend a band by the name of Cruxshadows. The song that got me hooked is a song called of Marlyin my Bitterness. (know i spelled something wrong in that) I recommend this band because of the style. I watched an interview in which the lead singer said they perform for the fans. So this is a great band. biggrin

I'd reccomend either Assemblage 23 or VNV Nation... their songs are usually peacful... but upbeat. I love both bands alot. You should check them out.

Atmosphere...they are a great band with good rap songs. They are the sort of music where you just want to mosh...and throw your head about anyway.

I would recommend Evanescence to people who like metal and rock. I don't have any specific songs though... sweatdrop

Tapping the Vein.
They were rocking the underground genre...and were a major influence to Evanescence.
(and the chick singer can seriously whail)

Weird Al Yankovich. Makes fun of some good songs and they are very funny.

Within Temptation... good if you like Evanescence.
