The Band/Music suggestion thread. [Archive]

Billy Golightly

02-10-2009, 08:53 PM

Lets have a thread where a person makes a recommendation for a band, or a particular song. Then the next person that replies actually checks out the first persons recommendation, and then they make a new recommendation of their own. Sort of like the movie quote thread.

You must include at least the Band/artists' name if just a general reccomendation.

You must include the title of the song and the artist if making a particular song reccomendation.

*IMPORTANT*: Do NOT include what genre the band, artist, or song is from. This'll let people have a more open mind when checking out and listening to songs and music. No one will be quite so quick to judge or listen to it with a notion of not liking it because its not of the type of music they typically like. You MUST have actually listened to the song reccomended before you or A song from the particular Artist or band recommended BEFORE you can recommend one!

My Recommendation: Apocalyptica - Path

Brad200X

02-10-2009, 09:19 PM

Apocalyptica - Path: Not bad, not bad at all. Some pretty cool stuff at times. My recommendation:

Circus Maximus - A darkened Mind

Russell 350X

02-10-2009, 11:20 PM

Circus Maximus - deffinetly cool stuff, I'll be checking them out more

Nevermore - I Voyager

fabiodriven

02-10-2009, 11:27 PM

Nevermore - I Voyager
Good stuff for sure. Never heard of them but I'll be listening for them now.

Killswitch Engage- The end of Heartache

The Goat

02-10-2009, 11:57 PM

I love all killswitch engage.

nonpoint bullet with a name is awesome song but i lik

rev theory hell yeah

Russell 350X

02-11-2009, 09:28 PM

Rev Theory - hear them on the Sirius radio alot, pretty decent rock band.

Strapping Young Lad - All Hail new flesh, been really digging this band as of late.

Eric250R

02-11-2009, 09:44 PM

Strapping young lad..... always a favorite.

Gizmachi..... Burn

Brad200X

02-12-2009, 06:18 PM

Gizmachi - Burn: Not bad, a little generic at times, but it takes you to some unexpected places as well. I know this may seem redundant, but I'm gonna recommend another Circus Maximus song. (I just can't get this band outta my head!) This is one of my favorite songs from them: Arrival of Love.

The Goat

02-12-2009, 07:58 PM

just downloaded it on my phone at work...definitely not what I was expecting.

might I suggest

say anything - alive with the glory of love.

gotta listen to it the whole way through...definitely grows on ya.

Brad200X

02-12-2009, 08:02 PM

[QUOTE=The Goat;707920]just downloaded it on my phone at work...definitely not what I was expecting.

Is that good or bad unexpected?

The Goat

02-12-2009, 08:07 PM

it was actually pretty good.... I typically go for things that are very hard...or kind of poppy.

This kind of reminded me of seperate ways by journey.

Brad200X

02-12-2009, 08:18 PM

That's kinda how I am. I was listening to a lot of Arch Enemy, Opeth and Dark tranquility, but when I heard these guys for the first time, Man it threw me for a loop! Really changed my view of metal.

The Goat

02-12-2009, 08:22 PM

just to reiterate

say anything - alive with the glory of love

their whole cd is actually pretty damned good.

Russell 350X

02-12-2009, 08:30 PM

Say anything - alive with the glory of love. not what I was expecting, but it was good, they perform that genre very well.

Winds of Plague - Origins and Endings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG_pRMe40TI

Brad200X

02-13-2009, 04:51 PM

Just so this thread doesn't die, Winds of Plague - Origins and Endings: BRUTAL. I've never heard of them before, but I like 'em! Alright guys here you go:

Arch Enemy - Hybrids of Steel

night4creeper

02-13-2009, 07:53 PM

not bad, never listened to them before, going to check them out more.

How about a local band that needs to get signed. I think they are good enough.

IMI - Drowning

you can check em out on myspace (http://www.myspace.com/imirocks) there is a video about 1/3 way down the page for Drowning.

dcreel

02-13-2009, 08:06 PM

dcreel

02-13-2009, 08:40 PM

I've been a Clutch fan since I saw Marilyn Manson with them in Tulsa at the Cains Ballroom in '95

Here is one that brought back memories of high school.
True Sounds Of Liberty (TSOL) Abolish Government
It was first recorded in the early eighties, its amazing how much things haven't really changed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETKuoHlYuHM&feature=related

Russell 350X

02-14-2009, 01:52 AM

TSOL - sounds punk, pretty good stuff, I was diggin it. I'm assuming you like the Misfits, pretty good tunes dude.

Lamb of God - Grace. This is new stuff, wayyyyyy different sound compared to their last album, IMO this is 10 times better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAKfKf9UaTw&feature=related

dcreel

02-14-2009, 02:02 AM

That lamb of God was really good. More old school British punk

Discidium - Betrayal. Local band I used to roadie for back in highschool....

brapp

02-15-2009, 06:09 PM

not bad but check out the band blood hound gang/ pretty when your drunk.

Brad200X

02-18-2009, 12:15 AM

Bloodhound Gang - Pretty When I'm Drunk: Not the kind of music that I usually listen to, but I really enjoyed that. Pretty damned funny!

Steve Vai - For The Love of God

This is his masterpiece IMO.

RedRider_AK

02-18-2009, 06:19 AM

Steve Vai - For The Love of God

For The Love of God has always been a big track for me, I've been a fan of Vai since I was about 15 and heard Bad Horsie. Big fan of shred.

Here's my recommendation(s) [I'm giving two because they're absolutely different genres]:

For the guys that like heavy stuff - Ensiferum "Into Battle" (album: Iron)

or

For the more mellow guys - The Chicharones "Breaking Point" (album: When Pigs Fly)

Brad200X

02-18-2009, 12:28 PM

For the guys that like heavy stuff - Ensiferum "Into Battle" (album: Iron)

Dude, I'm a huge Ensiferum fan! I'll let somebody else listen to this, only because of heard it a thousand times.

Black Sabbath - Sabotage

Goddamit read the first post.

Torpedo

02-22-2009, 11:56 AM

For the more mellow guys - The Chicharones "Breaking Point" (album: When Pigs Fly)

It was pretty good in a late 90's white-boy rock-rap kinda way. If i was still into that style of music i could see myself buying the cd.

(Warning: Southern Rock!) Blackberry Smoke - Good One Coming On

02-22-2009, 12:02 PM

......deffinatly not my style! lol

Avenged Sevenfold

RedRider_AK

02-22-2009, 12:57 PM

Avenged Sevenfold

Heard their stuff, not a big fan of the vocals but the solos are pretty cool.

Sublime - "Doin' Time"

Torpedo

02-22-2009, 02:01 PM

Anything Sublime is great. Its a shame they were ended so early in their careers.

Since my southern rock suggestion got no love... What about:
Sevendust - Home

02-22-2009, 02:24 PM

85BigRED250

02-22-2009, 04:16 PM

not too bad at all!

how about Atreyu

RedRider_AK

02-23-2009, 05:50 PM

I am no fan of metalcore, and Atreyu is no exception. Since we're on the topic of metal...

Static-X (anything off any album).

brapp

02-23-2009, 06:56 PM

love static x love dump bu

t i do love atreau becomign the bull

Torpedo

02-23-2009, 08:50 PM

becoming the bull was good. the lyrics sound kinda garage band-esque. a little more polishing would make them a good metal band.

Anybody heard-

Moe. - Mexico

02-23-2009, 09:16 PM

Jimi Hendrix-All along the watchtowers

or

Steely Dan-Do It Again

85BigRED250

Jimi hendrix is awesome

Russell 350X

02-23-2009, 09:55 PM

Hendrix is awsome:w00t:

I've been hooked on this song since they released it , new Lamb of God, Set to fail
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd2LfMHivRE

Brad200X

05-08-2009, 07:56 PM

How did we let this awesome thread die? Back to the task at hand...

Lamb of God is friggin sweet! Set To Fail is very Pantera-ish IMHO. Alright, here's my suggestion: Angra - Waiting Silence. Here's a link to it on the 'Tube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99izXhZSZws

These guys are pretty epic lol. The solo about 3/4 of the way through still gives me shivers.

Billy Golightly

05-08-2009, 08:59 PM

Angra - Waiting Silence Hmm, different, but good. I like it, other than the lyrics dont really seem to match the music (But thats just my opinion). I liked it a lot more when it was just the instruments playing. Nice suggestion none-the-less.

My suggestion:

Hans Zimmer - The Kraken (Play it loudly, especially the intro, hehe)

Brad200X

05-08-2009, 09:17 PM

Yeah, they're from Brazil, and they don't speak the English so well lol. (No offense to our Brazilian members!)

Triple B!

05-09-2009, 03:24 PM

My suggestion:

Hans Zimmer - The Kraken (Play it loudly, especially the intro, hehe)

This was good, I love this instrumental stuff from the sound track to movies, sometimes they come out with some really hard-hitting stuff [Kinda like James Horner with the 'Titanic' soundtrack]

I suggest...

Kittie- Brackish
(band)- (song)

Russell 350X

05-09-2009, 04:32 PM

I used to rock Kittie pretty hard back in the day, Brackish is one of their better ones for sure!

Otep - Crooked Spoons

Triple B!

05-16-2009, 04:19 PM

Otep- Crooked spoons...

I love Otep!!!:Bounce this band rocks! I haven't heard this song yet, but i think it is great; added it to my favorites on youtube, haha.

I have a new one for your amusment->

Throwdown- Burn

(Which reminds me.... we need a little icon of a smilie that is head banging so we can add it to our replies.... :idea: )

Rawlins350x

05-18-2009, 01:37 PM

Always a fan of throwdown. they do a pretty sweet cover of "baby got back"

Check out Inflames. any song.

05-18-2009, 06:41 PM

Hands down best ever is PANTERA ...... COWBOYS FROM HELL !!!!! If you don't like it you can sucktrailpro trailpro lmfao put it on your I-pod one time and ride your favorite trail and you'll see what I mean there will be no arguments.

Russell 350X

05-19-2009, 04:56 PM

I've been listening to Pantera for years..they rock

Chimaira - Destroy and Dominate

One of their new songs, I'm in love with it, one of the few I like off the new album, there's maybe 3 songs total I like off it, the others suck.

Who's up for listening to the song "dueling banjos"? I have no idea who did it, but it was from the movie 'Deliverance'...... :wondering

Triple B!

06-21-2009, 09:32 PM

No one wants to listen to 'dueling banjos' huh???

Well....

I've been listening to alot of old Slipknot, self-titled and Iowa era. Also the new Trivium album, "Shogun", is awesome. Winds of Plague is another band I've been liking alot latley, may be a bit heavy for some of you folks.

Never really listened to DOWN. My buddy was always trying to get me to listen to it,but i was hating Phil for leaving Pantera. That was some goood stuff though.I'll always listen to Alice In Chains. In my opinion they were the best grunge band ever. And thanks Triple B i never knew who sang that song but i always heard it on the radio and liked it. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this band but here it goes. Pro-Pain Switchblade Knife off The Truth Hurts.
