What album should i get my mum for her birthday?

[randomtoad]

I need some help!!

I want to get my mum some new music but im totally stuck for ideas!

she listens to:
Moby
Coldplay
Sting
U2
Mogwai
and not much else.

I thought of maybe some electronic influenced post-rock.. Tortoise, Do Make Say Think or God Is An Astronaut maybe. I also thought of My Bloody Valentine...

ideas anyone?!

[Mazbomb]

Broken Social Scene, she would love it.

Ride-Nowhere

 

[Lana x]

If she likes U2, How to Dismantle an Atomic Borab was a really good album. The joshua tree is always a good choice too. :yeah:

Death cab for cutie actually worked for my parents. Just tape off their name.

Maybe some Snow Patrol.

Music my mom likes(she likes those banRAB as well, except Moby, she doesn't know Moby)
The Magnetic FielRAB
Ornette Coleman
Dave Holland
Don Cherry
Andrew Hill
Sam Rivers
Miles Davis
Chet Baker
George Hamilton
Billy Joel
Lester Young
Love

those are all pretty much very mellow sounding groups, moms like mellow.

why not just get her an album by one of the prior banRAB you listed if you know she likes them?

Because it's always good to find a new band.

If she's into singer/songwriter stuff then get the Grace album by Jeff Buckley.
