Hello,

I have a good music download program but I keep downloading the same sort of stuff, anyone got some suggestions on good tunes to get?

I generally like alternative music...


Thanks!

Have a look at 2 threads I started in the music section, and see f they can help.

Feel free to post your own contributions to both of them, because that will pop the threads up to the top when people look for ones that have been posted to recently Hopefully, that will lead to more people posting their recommendations.

I'm browsing my local smaller music venues at the moment, in search of new bands & songs to listen to get to get a feel for them They're all about £5 to go and see. Maybe there's similar places near you.

OMG .. I just noticed that you're in London. There's going to be shit loads of bands for you to find out about who are cheap to go and see, and probably get a few songs or albums of their work.

I think I might have seen them, but I'm not sure. Just about to do a search for the night when I might have done.

happenstance are you into more underground bands or do you like the more mainstream stuff like arcade fire/killers/kooks/arctic monkeys/kasabian? i love kasabian they have a swaggering,marauding viking sensibility that i think all good rock bands should have.

i like loads of different types of music ... maybe look at Lynnard Skynnard, you will maybe know them best for singing Sweet Home Alabama, but i like a lot more of their stuff, there is a track called Travelin' Man which is good. The best thing to do is just type the band name in and play about, I was looking for Sweet Home Alabama ages ago and just downloaded more of their stuff. Also another band i seem to have really started to like are a band called Heart - courtesy of my Mum! (Crazy on You, Magic Man ... are a couple that I really like) So there you have a bit of female guitar band with interesting vocals. And then there is always good old Joan Armatrading who apparently is classed as folk but im not quite sure if thats right but then loads of people know who she is as she has been about for ages. If i think of anything else ill post it - everyone think im strange now lol, hope that helps

Try some Irish Folk. Heres Christy Moore and the Dubliners

Yeah Dave, Christy is a legend. I preferred the Dubliners when Luke Kelly was singing with them. He was the best balladeer ever, whose voice and delivery, could melt entire audiences. Heres one of him singing about producer Phil Coulters child, who is autistic
