I say enough of this endless recycling of rock trends, if you're going to make music, at least make something all your own, and don't be Airbourne or Wolfmother. |

I think Outworld need a bit more attention. Shame they broke up. Recommended if you like Power/Prog Metal. If you don't, meh. |

YEah, we'll want bands to take the torch and make new music. PROGRESSION! And not in a "prog rock" sense but merely the idea that music needs to move on and evolve. When AC/DC finally call it a day we'll still have their entire back catalogue to listen to, and plenty of live DVDs to watch. Airbourne serve no purpose except cynically copying other bands. How dull. No, I'd rather bands try something new and suck at it rather than copy someone else adequately because progression keeps music interesting. What I want from music is, in no particular order, originality, passion, emotion, and maybe a modicum of intelligence however you would quantify that, I'm not sure. Not carbon-copies of stuff I've already heard. |

I agree with Paul's recommendation of Old Man Gloom incidentally. I need more OMG, they are a fascinating band and quite unique. What would I recommend? Mmmm. This is hard. I could say Burzum, but the only people likely to actually listen are the other metal fans who should already know and love them. Fuck it. Staying black metal here. In the past 6 months I've listened to The Beatles the most, and then Faith No More. But you should know these bands already. So I'm recommending my #3 band, the Swedish group Lifelover. They are from Stockholm and are responsible for some quite haunting music (not nearly as terrifying as Silencer however), mixing traditional black metal sounds with more "rock" elements, ending up with a rather unique blend, that many would argue is not black metal at all. But to me black metal is as much an aesthetic as it is anything else. Anyway, this is pure agony. The name is ironic in case you had a humour by-pass, in the same vein as another depressive band, Happy Days. Really, the music is quite simple, but it is stirring. It causes me to feel. This is what I ask from music.

If you like pop punk/emo hardcore, you should check out Hawthorne Heights, You Me At Six, All Time Low, Motion City Pictures, and Cobra Starship, among others.
If you like garage rock/indie rock/synth rock, you should check out Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Killers, MGMT, and The Rapture, among others.
If you like hard rock/metal, you should check out Pantera, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Disturbed, and Lacuna Coil, among others. (i'm started to like metal more)
If you like anything else, go hang yourself. lol jkjk |

I also recommend Baroness. They're very much like Mastodon and they rock. |

Yeah, I think the flaw here is that as many awesome bands as I could recommend, nobody cares, they just want to recommend their own, and likewise I don't care about their recommendations because I can tell fairly quickly they're totally not in my sphere of interest. |

EDIT: Also, in my world, it goes without saying that everyone knows Mr. Bungle, but you cats probably don't, so eat this impressive original video to Trevor Dunn's post-modern lament (yeah, that's right folks Mike Patton wasn't the only guy in that kick ass band).
