Forums » Smalltalk » Good music?

I've been having an 'interesting time' at work lately, and just decided that I need some good tunes to listen to - doesn't matter what genre, really, I like most of them (except American Country music, but even then there IS some of it I like) - and I'm just sort of out of the loop on new bands/songs since I barely keep track of new releases. I'm also bored of my current music collection since I've listen to it over and over and over and over and over.

tl;dr list good tunes because my boss is being super [RADIO EDIT] with me.

Battlestar Galactica soundtrack.

You're welcome.

I would suggest Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence, Simple Plan, Simon Curtis, Five Finger Death Punch(the best song they have is Remember Everything.), and Savage Garden. I am a teen so I keep up with new releases of bands.

Daft Punk (Random Access Memories album)
Michael Bublé
Awolnation (I love their song "Sail" so much)
Florence + the Machine
Skindred

I can second that

Or pretty much any soundtrack by Bear McCreary for that matter. He's even working on Agents of SHIELD at the moment!

Other suggestions, the Mass Effect soundtracks, VAST and of course my old favourite, Pink Floyd.

you for this. These are wonderful artists.

Also look into:

The Knife/Fever Ray/Royksopp
Lorde
Katatonia
Yuki Kajiura's music is fantastic - a lot of songs have English or no lyrics.
Akira Yamaoka (Composed a lot of Silent Hill songs.)
Massive Attack (Black Milk is probably my favorite song by them.)
Lana Del Rey
M83 (Skin of the Night, Wait, and Moonchild are all wonderful songs by them.)
VNV Nation
The Glitch Mob
Kamelot
Trentemoller (Moan is a good song)
Carina Round (Please Don't Stop makes me cry, but probably because I read a fantastic Twine that had the song linked in there. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/88951433/cradle.html Right there. Three possible endings. Wonderful story. Worth the play. If you want more, here's his wordpress: http://kittyhorrorshow.wordpress.com/) ((WARNING: His stuff is pretty dark so I wouldn't read it unless you're okay with cursing and adult themes.))
Big Black Delta (IF***INGLOVEYOU is such a crazy good song, seriously.)
Machinae Supremacy (A View from the End Of the World is a great album. ALL of their songs are fantastic on that one.)
Blueneck
Athlete
Echo and the Bunnymen
Father John Misty
Niki & The Dove

That's all I'll give you right now, I can't think of too many others. ;u;. HAVE FUN!

I feel about 97 times better now, thank you everyone.

YOU WON THE ITNERNETS.

So apparently today is going to be a good day because I just won the internet. I am the new Scion of RPR.

...Even though I have to go talk to the board of directors for the company I work for (mostly RNs and other nurses) it's going to be a good day. The Internetz and RPR has my back now. If they have a problem with our smooth jazz, they can just...

Little late to the party...err thread but if your willing to give anything a listen try....Blind Guardian, Within Temptation, Nevermore. For more easy going stuff try some Sublime, and Shaggy

Song by Noisia I recommend
"Could this be"
