The Vines. Billy Talent. Muse. The Offspring (Their earlier stuff). Rammstein.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Depends, if you're into metal or hard rock I would suggest Alestorm, Rammstein, Nightwish, Amon Amarth, Sonata Artica and the like.

Then again, you can never go wrong with the classics.

[JanatUrlich]

Just go listen to some foreign music.

 

[The King And His Fool]

I'm fairly confidant that I have an aweful taste in music. half the stuff I listen to can hardly be classified as music. The other half, it sound slike someone's strangling an instrument or themselves.

But as much as I like my taste, I actively avoid bringing it up in conversations. Shameful, isn't it?


For that reason, I can't really recommend any for you.

*sob*

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Manic Street Preachers
'cos I don't listen to any of that new stuff. sounds like crap to me. (but that's me)
Only new stuff I listen to is foreign.

 

[baratona]

Owl City or The Postal Service.

I like Electronica.

Owl City are so nice to listen too, they were just the kind of band i was looking for!
Thank you so much
