Hey, I need some new band ideas. Look at the bands down there, and tell me what I should try!

I'm really into british folk rock/indie rock or similar musical styles:
- mumford and sons
- John Butler Trio
- The Pogues
- The Fratellis

I'm also into irish-like music:
- Paddy and the Rats
- Dropkick Murphy's
- Flogging Molly

And some more pop-rock orientated bands (happens):
- Maroon 5
- Incubus
- Our Lady Peace

And experimental/electronic like:
- Gorillaz
- Ratatat
- Modest Mouse
- Radiohead (my favorite band)

And the obvious:
- Dream Theater
- Pink Floyd
- etc.

I get bored easily of the big famous bands like DT and Pink Floyd, even though I really love them, it's not what I'm looking for.
Do you have any ideas on what I should listen to / give a shot depending on the styles I named up there and the examples?
I've been listening to the same music over and over, and I'm getting bored of my playlist. I need more music.

Shoot!

If you can appreciate strong Classical music influence I recommend you start listening to Moondog.

Listen to some Portishead or Massive Attack yet?

Heard about portishead but not massive attack... will look into it, but the name sounds like a metal band :P

Also yes I'll give moondog a try! thx

Massive attack is in the same genre of portishead...Triphop...but they're more older in the scene.

God Moondog is old! Never expected it to be 1950-1990 music, impressive and good music, but not sure it's the kind of music I'm looking for..

Portishead isn't quite what I'm looking for either. I'm not sexist, but I don't like women singing other things than jazz.

I actually like massive attack. It's smooth and damn I'd see some of their songs in a movie or trailer. Good find! They also seem to play with different bands?

Are you into any Metal/Rock? I suggest bands like Pelican, Animals as Leaders, Planet X,.Kamelot, Cynic, Savatage, Helstar, Steel Prophet, Charred Walls of the Damned, Between the Buried and Me, Trouble, Candlemass, Kings X, Wolfmother.

Not really, I don't like hard music. Hardest I can still listen to is albums like Science by Incubus or songs like Honor Thy Father by DT... gives you a fair example of how noisy I want it. Seriously, right now I'm more into folk-pop (not Bieber-pop)-rock. When I say electronic, it doesn't mean bar music or dubstep, it's more like ratatat or gorillaz: needs a certain musical line in it. The closest to metal I'll ever get is progressive metal like DT. It's enough for me.

I do like wolfmother though, also happens that I listen to Offspring when I feel like a 15yo boy again.

If you put in the red hot chili peppers on pandora it will bring up a wide variety of music that I like.

I love the red hots, forgot about them

Check out Larry And His Flask. I guess they fit into that folk/indie rock genre like Mumford & Sons. Awesome stuff. The drummer stands up for christ's sake, haha.




May I also recommend, for the experimental/electronic category, 65daysofstatic. Fantastic sound.

Also, Obscura, Tesseract, and you forgot Mastodon.

You might like Matisyahu, the coolest Jew since Jesus.

Yeah Larry and his Flask sounds good, annoyed me though how badly sync they were in that videoclip :P but that doesn't matter. Thanks for that, looks like the kind of bands I'd listen to while going kayaking, drinking or else

Bought 2 albums of a new band I discovered 2 days ago: Xavier Rudd

It sounds like indie-folk, he's from Australia and it's full of different percussions from around the world and catchy rythms. I highly suggest you give it a shot! I'm a big time fan of latin and african music and a lot of his songs sound latin/folk/reggae/blues.
