Mr. Rosewater Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I hope this is the right forum for this. Anyway I'm a little burned out on my ipod selection and am looking for a little help from the enotalone comunity to point me in the direction of some new tunes. I'll give you a list of my favorite artists and if you could name a couple newer bands or individual musicians who are on par let me know. Here it is: Beck Bob Dylan Leonard Cohen Peter Gabriel Neil Young Elliot Smith Wilco All right those are the top 7 I could think of. But I also like rap, classical and Jazz., Charlie Parker Miles Davis you know. For rap I used to love Ice-T, Tribe called Quest etc. Any suggestions are appreciated. I mean who do you guys think is a true innovator these days. My vote would be for Beck. Is there anyone out there that is as dynamic and creative as someone like that but maybe in a different genre? Thanks! 1 Link to comment
ClementineK Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You should go to link removed. It will help you find new music you might like. You just put in the genre or artist you like and it does the rest. Clementine Link to comment

jul-els Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think you would like Calexico. Feast of Wire is a good album. You seem to like singer/songwriter-y kind of stuff. For the classics in that genre, Joan Armatrading is great, her self-titled album is a really good one. Maybe some Cat Stevens. Ramblin' Jack Elliot is great. Anything by Peter Gabriel from the 1st album up until Security is brilliant (I see you have him listed, but I'm just telling you which albums are my faves, if you don't have them). As for newer stuff, try McCarthey Trenching, Eleni Mandell and Lisa Germano. Another new band I really like, which you may or may not, is Grand Archives. Link to comment

Atrium Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hmm, I could respond but it would be rather long Ah, what the heck! for Beck, try Russell Simins Cripples Liz Phair Gnarls Barkley Beat Happening Silver Jews Dub Narcotic Sound System Bob Dylan The Rolling Stones Eric Andersen Ian Hunter The Beatles Paul Simon Joe Hill Freedy Johnston Leonard Cohen Bill Fay Kris Kristofferson Tom Waits Chris Rea Tim Hardin Jackson Browne A.A. Bondy Peter Gabriel Todd Rundgren Roxy Music Brian Eno Chris Rea Playing for Change Phil Collins Adrian Belew Neil Young Bruce Springsteen Ian Hunter Emmylou Harris Eric Clapton Judee Sill Nicolette Larson Elliott Smith Pavement Archer Prewitt Joy American Music Club Yo La Tengo Seldom Iron & Wine Wilco (one of my favorites!) Decibully The Bigger Lovers NoahJohn The Damnwells Backyard Tire Fire Matt Mays Salim Nourallah This should be more than enough I would think. Obviously you probably wouldn't like all the artists on there, those are just the artists that IMO sound most like what you listed, based on my limited music listening. Link to comment

jul-els Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Just noticed you were looking for some jazz too. I somehow seemed to gloss right over that. Silly me. Here's some goodies: Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach - Money Jungle Mad Finder - Hit the Grass Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter - 1+1 John McLaughlin - The Promise Fat Freddy's Drop - (not really jazz, but has a jazz/dub/soul flavor, all their stuff is good. Another really good new band in the dub/soul category is The Lions) Medeski Martin and Wood - Combustication, Shack Man, End of the World Party, Radiolarians I, II & III Sex Mob - Din of Inequity John Coltrane - Coltrane's Sound, A Love Supreme, Ballads El Michels Affair - Sounding Out The City Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage Jazz Chillout - Blue Note compilation Horace Silver - Song for My Father Frank Zappa - Hot Rats (rock w/ heavy jazz leanings) Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (you probably have, but no jazz collection should be without, imo) I tried to stick to mainly bop & middle of the road stuff here, any other types you like let me know and I can give you more.

tastytoothpaste Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Try some Ben Harper. He's got a great sound, and from what you've listed, I think he's right up your alley. Link to comment
Mr. Rosewater Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks Man! Wow ! I think I've got a lot to work with here. Keep 'em comin' tho. Link to comment
UserLain Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'll give you a list of my favorite artists and if you could name a couple newer bands or individual musicians who are on par let me know. Here it is: Beck Bob Dylan Leonard Cohen Peter Gabriel Neil Young Elliot Smith Wilco Aw man, im gonna roll with the folk thing since I'm a modern folk junkie Mama Wolf - Devendra Banhart (wild spirited guy, fun music) This is an abstract video made by this girl, I think she's a famous model or something Diane Cluck -I'm yr here I am (I've yet to hear a song from her that I didn't find powerful and amazing) Joan Baez - East Virginia ( Took me a lonngg time to actually appreciate this girl, I found her voice too "uptight sounding" for a long time) and I'm not THAT familiar with peter gabriel but If I'm able to relate him to sting, then I do. His music is SO elegant, sophisticated and sexy. 1 Link to comment
UserLain Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Regina Spektor - Samson "The bible didn't mention us" line always breaks my heart David Grey - This Year's Love (his music generally spans from john mayerish stuff to very soft and sweet folk) Someone mentioned Morphine, this is "The Night". amazing song (another abstract Bianca Smith vid) " Link to comment
ionno Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I see some Folk on there. Definitely check out The Mountain Goats, Woven Hand, Steve Von Till, M Ward, Bright Eyes, and Simon Joyner; among the best Folk acts of the past few years. Link to comment
