Story of the Year is really cool. From my neck of the woods. Not very often that I get to say that about famous people/bands |

Muckraker  Posts: 348 Joined: 11 Oct 2008   | In 2008, I discovered William Elliott Whitmore (think old-time, with banjo, but better than it sounds. If you hate that music, I guarantee you'll like this guy.) The video is just a clip of a song, but listen to everything he's done. Please. You'll thank me. Rodrigo y Gabriela (super fast, super crazy classical guitar. That's it. That's all they do. And it's amazing.) Diana Krall (smokey-sounding jazz) Nick Drake (waay old acoustic guitar. Think... predecesor to Damien Rice.) It makes me really happy to see more people discovering the awesome that is Muse... |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 78 Joined: 14 Oct 2008 | I thought all 21st Century music sucked, until I heard MGMT's psychedelic blend of electro and art rock. Btw, what's with Rammstein, I noticed a few of you got into them. I've loved them in every way since 1998, but lately I've been especially addicted to their songs! |

<3 Kurr is one of my favorite albums. Love that group so much.
I think Miles is one of the greatest musical minds to ever grace this Earth, however, Charles Mingus begs to differ. Look up his music, it's different than Miles' style for sure, and each I credit as brilliant for differing reasons. Yet, I was certain that I would never find a Jazz musician I prefer over Miles until I really analyzed Mingus' music. Start with Mingus Ah Um or Mingus Mingus Mingus. I never really thought much of Opeth, honestly. My Prog Metal gods have always been Pain of Salvation. |
