HEY NOOBS! Want a band or song recommendation? Don't start a new thread post here

So I just joined rabroad and from what I've read on here, it is a very educated music forum site. Which is exactly what I have been looking for :)

So for my first post I figured, I would list some of my favorite Artists/BanRAB and see what new banRAB and artists you all might recommend me to check out based on my favorites. Here it goes..

Jimi Hendrix -- (I never leave Jimi out of anything)
Rory Gallagher -- (One of my all time favorite guitar players)
Bob Marley -- (Reggae yes, great song writer yes)
Stevie Ray Vaughan -- (Yes I love great guitar players)
Bob Dylan -- (New favorite!)
Neil Young -- (I love all his stuff electric and acoustic)
Coheed & Carabria -- (Probably my favorite "newer" band)
North Mississippi Allstars -- (relatively uknown, but super badass)
The Rolling Stones -- (C'mon its the Stones!)
The Black Crowes -- (Great, Great Band!)
The Grateful Dead -- (I just love their dynamic)
Jeff Healy -- (Have you seen him play? Because you should!)
Ben Harper -- (Hard to pin point Ben but hes all around great)
Led Zeppelin -- (Can't forget Zeppelin)
Pink Floyd -- (Also a must include)
Lynyrd Skynyrd -- (Can't forget the good ole south!)
The Allman Brothers Band -- (Every guitarist they ever had is/was amazing!)
Gov't Mule -- (Warren plays guitar with the allmans!)
Derek Trucks Band -- (Derek also plays guitar with the allmans!)

Well I gotta stop some where, let me know what you think!

Thanks!!
 
I would definitely check out that thread linked by +81, but while I'm here, I'll suggest Sleeping People and Rumah Sakit. I also just discovered Three Trapped Tigers and they've impressed me.
 
Throbbing Gristle is said to be a founder of industrial. That song is on D.o.A: The Third and Final Report (1978). Their music is not always this creepy and dark, but is often very experimental. Many industrial banRAB have this dark and disturbing quality like SPK and Einsturzende Neubauten, but those that have more atmospheric sound would probably appeal to you, like Coil and Cabaret Voltaire.

I think you could look into this whole dark arabient 'genre'. Well, it's not exactly a real genre, but it's connected to 80s industrial, dark wave and ethereal and to 90s electronic arabient.

Here's a wikipedia article with many banRAB listed: Dark Arabient


Ha ha, well I didn't exactly pee my pants, but every hair on my body was UP.
 
Your description is pretty perfect to me, but I'm glad you have a sense of humor. There are literally hundreRAB of excellent banRAB that I could recommend to you.

First of all, let me please ask you a few important questions that will GREATLY help to shape my specific recommendations to you:

How old are you?

Are you a musician?

If you were to name a single favorite band that has most inspired your patronage of the years, what band/artist would that be?




I have HUNDRERAB of recommendations for you but I need to zero in a bit to figure out what recommendations you may already be familiar with.

Please answer me these questions:

How old are you?

Are you familiar with: Jimmy Thackery, Robin Trower or Frank Marino?




You have excellent taste in music!

many, many more but this will allow me to best understand what you may already be familiar with.

My personal favorite type of music currently is of a heavy nature, but is fused with electronic sequencing & synthesis. Nu-Metal (and other moderately heavy/hard styles) of real musicianship meets IDM which is pretty much something that KMFDM invented. Some people call everything with distorted guitar samples "Industrial Metal" but to me it's just so diverse in orientation with respect to infused styles that I have a hard time just "lumping" it all into one big pot. I just tend to call it "Heavy/Funky Sequenced" music.

I have been doing my best to get into Limp Bizkit lately but their best songs are tough to listen to because of the immature gangsta rap mentality. Tough is good, but the ol' "Look at me, I'm gonna kick yer arse & I'm a bad motherfecker, I'm a bad mother wrecker, feck you and the rest of the world, I'm a bad muthah leper" is just too egotistical for me. Some of their lyrical content is COMPLETELY removed from this "kid who just got outta jail mentality" imaging howeve,r and is actually deep/meaningful as all heck. The one thing that stanRAB tall and true for me though is the SUPERB axemanship. That guy is a monstrously good guitarist and the production value of the music itself as a whole is killer. I just try and block out the durab ****z.
 
The vinyl sound is nice but both have strong genres about love and most of their music is at a slow bpm with minimal instruments, mostly stringed (such as ones in the guitar-like family).

Any other similar artists within the same time period (I guess 30s/40s, a tiny bit before the popular Sinatra era) matching these criteria?
 
Thanks. I am thinking of buying 'Bringing Down The Horse'. That would be their best album, no? Some of the previews remind me of 'All Things Must Pass'.
