I haven't had much luck finding any new artists to listen to lately, so I knew you guys would be able to help. I'm basically looking for anything new to me, and not in any specific genre. Here's a list of some of favorites I've been listening to lately in no specific order or genre. That should give you guys an idea of what I like:) Sorry, I know the list is all over the place:o


Melody Gardot
Esperanza Spalding
Nora Jones(The Fall only)
The Wailin' Jennys
Metric
theSTART
Bitter:Sweet
The Birthday Massacre
Jesca Hoop
Black Label Society
White Zombie
Peaches
Mellowdrone
Kudu
Alice in Chains
Soho Dolls
Garbage
Ladyhawke

I'm gonna stop now...I know that covers a broad spectrum. Also, I don't generally like country, but there are exceptions. Like I said nothing specific. Any suggestions would be appreciated:D
Sony 40" LCD
Sony DVPCX995V
Sony PS3(games/media server)
Sony PS2
WD TV Live with 3TB
Sanyo VCR
Marantz SR6003
Polk 11T(xover/RDO)
RM20 5 pack
OWM 5
DUAL Micro Pro 1000

When rapture comes, can I have your car?

    Ha! I have a lot of the stuff you guys named, but there is a couple there I'm not familiar with, so I'll check them out. I forgot to add the fact that if it is played on the radio often, I probably won't like it:D I'm also looking for something with female vocals more often than not. Are any of you familiar with The Birthday Massacre, theSTART, or The Soho Dolls? I've really been into that type of stuff a lot lately. Thanks so far guys!

    I'm too stupid to find threads if they aren't highlighted and on the first page:rolleyes: I have evanescence, and she does have a great voice, but a little to "pop hard rock" for me. I guess I'm looking for something a little off the beaten path, like I said, if it's been on the radio I probably won't like it:) Thanks again folks!

    Donny, you're looking for suggestions for new music and say that the ones you mention cover a "broad spectrum", but there's a huge gap in that you don't list any classical items. There's a whole world of great music waiting out there for you to give a listen.

    For a starter collection of colorful music that most enjoy and I often suggest, consider the following: The Planets ; Carmina Burana ; Hungarian Dances ; Dvorak Cello Concerto ; Respighi Symphonic Poems . On sale at bargain prices, totals about $28 with free shipping.
