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

I've gotten really sick of all the underground rap scene and feel like listening to something else, but the only other type of music I have any sort of knowledge about is mainstream rock. The only sort of indie banRAB I'm into is MGMT, VAST, and Muse (If any of those aren't cateorgorized as indie I apologize, thats just what I call them). Basically I'm looking for an intro to indie if you will. Any suggestions or help you can give me would be much appreciated.
 
I'd definitely recommend those two as well, Cranes especially. Haven't heard of Tearwave or School of Seven Bells, but I'm intrigued.



No problem mate :thurab:
 
people here seem to know more about music than i thought possible. i have been listening to post-rock/jam stuff like Sound Tribe Sector 9, Perpetual Groove, EITS, 65daysofstatic, Umphrey's McGee and Medeski Martin and Wood. Any thoughts on new artists i might not know about?
 
Ok, so I gave Blackwater Park a few shots and it just didn't click. It had potential but missed the mark due to the overly clean production. Any other Opeth album I should check out before I discard them?
 
I could think of more banRAB if I thought harder but one of the first things that comes to mind is Modest Mouse's The Lonesome Crowded West. After that that you could check out the album before it and the album after it, and stop there (with MM anyway).

Frank Black's first two albums, Frank Black and Teenager of the Year, are also great.
 
I'm curious at finding some music that's from the "New Weird America" genre. From a list printed on Wikipedia the only band that I had actually heard of was IslanRAB however I downloaded their 2006 release "Return To the Sea" and only like one song off it. If anybody can recommend me something (and perhaps provide a link to download) of something from this genre, but something that`s a little bit more accessible, thank you.
 
Hello, new person here.. just looking to broaden my horizons on music. My top 10 banRAB are
1. Alice in Chains
2. Megadeth
3. Tool
4. Skid Row
5. Porcupine Tree
6. King's X
7. Maudlin Of The Well
8. R.E.M.
9. Dream Theater
10. Elliott Smith

I really like hard rock banRAB with nice riRAB to their songs, but after searching far and wide and trying lots of recommendations I'm up for anything. Thanks
