What kind of music do you like, and what bands do you recommend for someone with the following tastes:

1) Lyrics are very important, not just i love you, will you love me too?
2) I like the easier kinds of rock, Nickelback, Jet, Nine Days, Counting Crows, Krezip, Manic Street Preachers, The Rasmus. Stuff like Jonny Cash and Bob Dylan aren't that bad either.

I am kind of running out of good music, at least something i haven't heard a million times before. Any recomendations?

you guys must have more bands you want to pimp.

Oh I do... though people may not agree with them...

1: Rage Against The Machine:
Unrivaled in heavy rock/rap style with feeling behind it all. Sure you might mistake it for teeny angst against everyone and everything - but that can be good sometimes (I don't mind a little Linkin Park, good band - bad fans).

2: The Cooper Temple Clause:
Marmite of the band world. You love them or hate them. I love them - they're incredible live and have some really great songs to their name from varying styles (some heavy stuff, some quieter).

3: Tool:
Another band you either love or hate - again I love them and find their lyrics inspiring. They also have great musical skill. Music videos are a treat to watch as well...

4: A Perfect Circle:
I've only recently gotten into APC, but they consist of some pretty darn good musicians and their songs seem very impressive. Again, recommended to see live

5: Within Tempation:
A great band from Europe, perhaps not to everyones tastes but I like them.

That's it for now!

Now, furry fool! Break dance!
Take off you furry pants!
Take off your high heels,
And put them in your ass!
Now somebody is tip-toeing
And someone just came in
And someone's pretty fat
Beastman's pretty thin, no?
I've got AIDS, Beastman AIDS
And I'll spread it in to every good
Boy and girl today!

Etc. Damn that song ownz

DG, you scare me with your oddness.

[diamondgeezer]

Result! Can I have that in writing?

[an0n]

[kasperl]

i think i just killed my connection

[Rictor]

here's some songs I would recommend at the moment

The Living End - West End Riot
The Living End - There is no Radio
The Living End - Second Solution

erm, thats what I've been listening to lately which would fit your musical preference. Its got a more punk sound than say, Nickelback, but its more or less easy listening.

oh and, I would highly recommend the Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros cover of Redemption Song (by Bob Marley). get the video that goes along with it, awesome stuff.

Stereophonics, Oasis, Blur, Datsuns, The Clash, The Who,
The Strokes, Franz Ferdonand, The Corel, Mudvayne, Ministry, Marilin Manson, Mysery Loves Co., Genitorturers and many many many more.....

it would take me to long to catogorise my music collection all i can say is shift through those names and any others people post and "go to thier websites to download legal samples"

[aldo_14]

Oh yeah - Damien Rice is good.  Very mellow.

I'm "acquiring" quite a lot of stuff right now, some if it sounds pretty nice.

though i have sincere doubts of how much my ISP likes me right now.
