New Music?

[Mucinex-D]

I've been getting bored with the usual music I listen to lately, mostly classic rock. Can anyone suggest to me some good newish music to me? No rap/hip hop or country. Thanks.

edit:
Let me be more clear, since there seems to be a bit of confusion. I listen to classic rock from the 60s and 70s atm, and that's about it. I'm looking for some newer bands that aren't "mainstream" like Oasis, Nirvana, etc. because I have already heard them. I need something I have most likely never heard . thanks.

edit2:
I have heard some newer music I like, such as some Cold Play. I'm looking for some mellow music, nothing heavy (that's what I'm trying to get away from .)

Frédérik Chopin. One of the greatest masters of romantic music.

Or Queens of the Stone Age.

 

[reg42]

Well, what do you listen to right now? Name a few bands.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Heh, I can always suggest/show you some music, although there is no guarantee that you will like it.
Here is one I normally post up:

Ahhh... so... soothing...
And another song I quite like.

Of course, if you like them, I could always dig up more...

 

[ZakZak59]

Frédérik Chopin. One of the greatest masters of romantic music.

Or Queens of the Stone Age.

Agreed, Queens of the Stone age are literally thunderous. Quite different music from Chopin though mate XD

But yeh, we need ideas of what bands you like to suggest new stuff.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

Oasis,
Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Rage Against The Machine,
Muse,
The White Stripes,
Pixies,
The Smashing Pumpkins,
Nirvana,
Radiohead,
The Blues Brothers.

Is that enough or should I keep going?

I find myself tapping my feet to Arctic Monkeys. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check out the rest.

I hate Breaking Benjamin lol. Sorry just not my kind of music immahobbit.

 

[ottenni]

Going by that you want something mellow,

John Butler Trio,
Queens of the Stone Age,
Flight of the Concords,
NOFX.

 

[louisevandeburg]

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).
Coldplay.
Tom Petty/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
U2.
Travelling Wilburys.

I know you said new music, but I just have to recommend these bands. To EVERYONE.

 

[LongAndShort]

Jet (yeah, mainstream but I like 'em)
Dropkick Murphys
Floggin Molly
Mumford and Sons
I would have said Arctic Monkeys but they've already been mentioned.
Can't think of any others.

 

[curlycrouton]

Mumford & Sons! Seriously, these guys are phenomenal.


How about Cherbourg? They've sadly split up now, but they left some genuinely touching music behind. They even did some busking.


If you're looking for something more upbeat, I'd point you towards London folk troubadour Johnny Flynn.


Finally, I'd recommend the slightly darker Laura Marling.


Oh, I almost forgot. Radiohead's Harry Patch (In Memory Of) almost made me cry. And I very rarely cry.


I do hope this helps.

Well, my favourite album of the year so far is Surfer Blood's "Astrocoast" - some really great 90s-influenced alternative rock, with a distinct modern twist. I'd also highly recommend Beach House's "Teen Dream" if you're into dream pop. A great album to chill to.

 

[madcap2112]

Listen to Frank Turner; I just saw him open for Flogging Molly last week and it was a great show. He's an English guy who plays a mix of folk and punk and he writes some pretty decent lyrics.

If it's mellow music you're looking for, I suggest Cat Power, specifically her 1998 album "Moon Pix".

 

[Blazing Steel]

Mudvayne


And then Pendulum has already been mentioned.
