I'm bored of my music, but can't think of what to start listening too. Please no metal, everything else I'm good with :)

Anything Yellowcard if you want punk rock (Ocean Avenue is probably the best bet.)
Dreaming Out Loud by OneRepublic? If you haven't heard every single song on that album, you need to listen to it
aaand I'll say Immersion by Pendulum. Awesome album, that.

Daft Punk - Alive. Just so well done. Man I would love to see them live.

Wish you were Here - Pink Floyd. Beautiful album. Kinda short, but still damn good.

Anything by The Eagles Of Death Metal. Specifically 'Death By Sexy'.

Also any Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. It's an English hip hop thing, but has some excelent lyrics:

It's pretty long...
Hey There, how, how's it going?
Long time no see.
I know I haven't been around much lately
But?it didn't seem like you wanted me to be
The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
So I figured I'd just leave you to it, let you be your own boss

But I've been keeping an eye on you, I have,
and it's amazing how you've grown.
With your technological advances and the problems you've overthrown,
And all the beautiful art you've created with such grace and such finesse,
But I admit there are a few things I'm afraid have impressed me less.

So I'm writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
Although that was never what I intended,
I feel I should take my share of the blame.
All the good I tried to do was corrupted
when organised religion got into full swing,
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered

Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
?cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded
Some of the deeds committed in my name
just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began,
I just kind of put it all together
I didn't really think out a long-term plan.

I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain
so their maintenance wasn't your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes
without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to
grow and in your own way space to develop

I didn't know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn't really the creater, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don't hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers

It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn't know
when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these
problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies,
even though they were in my name

So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology's to mother nature, cause I created you

If that doesn't float your boat, then Sublime. Anything by Sublime.

Appeal to Reason by Rise Against.
Partially this. Rise Against is my favorite band, but I would argue that their other 4 albums are, to me, better. Their other 4 albums are: The Unraveling, Revolutions per Minute, Siren Song of the Counter Culture, and The Sufferer and The Witness.

I also recommend the band Innerpartysystem, whose only album is their self titled album, but I think it is really good.

You-! I was going to cheaply plug my review as well.
But yes, Rise Against do a good mixture of hardcore punk and traditional punk rock, and ATR is easily their most accessible album.

OT: Start Something - Lostprophets. It's got a few metallic influences (particularly in We Are Godzilla) but it's mostly just rock.
And it's awesome.

XX by The XX and Kairos by White Hinterland, XX just won the mercury prize and came top on a lot of critics best albums for 2009 and Kairos is one of the prettiest albums I've heard in along time, and I've got such a crush on the lead singer after seeing her live :p
