1. have you heard LCD soundsystem? |
|
Because I am loathe to recommend the Beta Band (even though I adore them) because it seems like everyone known them, I'm going to suggest LCD Soundsystem. The best songs are "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" and "Too Much Love", but I love almost everything they have.
Other than that.. mmm.. how about some Cramps or the Kinks? always good.

3. Never heard them, but rabid for new stuff |
|
I've only heard one Daft Punk song so far, but it was cool (cops with a bullhorn saying, "Turn off the music and go home!"). Love the Kinks. Not terribly big on the Cramps.

12. "Around the World" is the best Daft Punk |
|
There's also Thievery Corporation, Brazilian Girls, and Handsome Boy Modeling School (ooh, and Fannypack) for other bands that aren't really out there that much.
And, of course, the Arcade Fire. That's a must.

13. Around the World - that was it |
|
It was a mash of that and something else. I don't have it handy at the moment. Thievery Corp is good,too - Bebel Gilberto is like wow.
Must check out Arcade Fire.

2. The only ones I've heard of on the list are |
|
Yes and the Doobie Brothers. I guess I need to get out there and expand my musical tastes.
If you are into hard rock or metal check out Killswitch Engage's album The End of Heartache. If you just want to get a taste before you buy the entire album check out "A Bid Farewell" and/or "The End of Heartache."

I was once a metal-head, but I've mellowed with age.
Edit: check out DJ Shadow! Fixed Income, What Does Your Soul Look Like Part 4, Midnight in a Perfect World, etc.

5. They will rekindle your metalhead flame |
|
They're not too awfully heavy, but I think they are considered metal. Probably a Rage Against the Machine level on the heaviness scale, maybe a little heavier.

6. Try Pink Floyds song Echoes or for that matter anything of |
|
of the soundtrack for the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ" the entire soundtrack was written and performed by Peter Gabriel. Now for something completely different and something I TOTALLY reccomend try the album "Divine Rites" by a German group Vox. The album's songs are all Christian women's chants from the 4th or 5th century BCE Syria. I am not a religous person per se but these songs as done on the album are some of the most etheral, haunting and beautiful music I have ever heard. The singer on the album is a woman named Fadia El-Hage a Lebanese opera singer and she has the voice of an angel. I saw it years ago in a CD bin in one of the gift shops at the Smithsonian and taking a chance without hearing it have never regretted buying it. FYI I have burned a dozen copies over the years for friends. Usually once you hear it you want to own it.

Last Temptation of Christ is awesome! So is Echoes. The video of Live at Pompeii is possibly the best concert footage of all time. I've heard some Vox, but can't remember what it was. Going to check it out. Thanks!

9. You will not regret checking out this album |
|
Edited on Sat Apr-09-05 01:25 AM by lenidog
I will sometimes play it before going to sleep or taking a nap and it just totally relaxes me and lets my mind just float away. I usually have some of my most pleasant and restful nights sleeps .BTW the lyrics are sung in their original language.

If you liked his vox on the "Last Temptation of Christ" soundtrack, you should REALLY check out some of his other stuff. He's a qawwali singer (qawwali is Sufi religious music), and I'll take him over Pavarotti any day.
