^The last time I looked, it would seem that Alex (freakofnature) started this thread.

I recommend Sigur Ros. Great music to relax to

Yeah I know who Alex is. All too well. I know her from another forum.

I don't know any links for polar bear but if you're intrested i can send you a few songs. I only have about 3 of them myself.

By the way, I'd like to add that I'm happy with the suggestions and when I get a chance, I will check out what all of you suggested. Keep up the good work!!

I recommend street buskers if you are walking down the road and you hear a busker if you take the time to stop and have a listen..ok so not every busker I have come across is fantastic but seriously..when you get a good one its a real good feeling to just sit and listen to them

I like Omar Rodriguez; A Manual Dexterity, Vol 1. It is such a mix of music, with so many different influences-salsa, jazz, rock-its great.

[CAP0 CRIMINI]

This is cool, Jenny Lewis listen to her album dude rabbit fur coat

Anyone who has not had a taste of anything Mike Patton has done, do yourself a favor and check some of it out. (Faith No More, Tomahawk, Mr Bungle, Fantomas..)
I would describe how these bands sound, but Patton always covers many genres in his projects. Even his vocals range from falsettos to some heavy screaming at times. He has worked with a lot of artists..including Bjork for her album Medulla.
Depending on how open of a mind you have, some of his work might take some getting used to. I have a lot of songs if anyone wants me to send them some. Otherwise, check some of it out. I guess I would recommend Faith No More first if you haven't heard him at all...and then Mr Bungle or Tomahawk after that.

Joy Division... to me it's like a fusion of The Talking Heads and Fugazi. It's pretty awesome. And if you don't have any Talking Heads or Fugazi, you should get some of that too.

[Surrogate_Helical]

^Love both Joy Division and Talking Heads..I love Wild Wild Life and And She Was..great songs..havn't heard much Fugazi though.

the Aqualung album is my personal favourite.

[i love JF]

^
Thanks for that. Hopefullly be able to get it soon.

[Ana]

^^^ yeah the aqualung album is my fave too!! i also like "original masters" (1985)

btw, i like listening to led zep, classic rock, one of the greatest rock bands in history in my opinion, you can't go wrong with them!!!
i also like counting crows, deep purple, pink floyd, a bit of metallica, a perfect circle, tool, therion, apocalyptica, eric clapton, placebo, radiohead, tori amos, and the list just goes on and on.........

[skitter]

loads of people know him, especially jffans, so its nothing new to most of you, but still it had to be said, SYD BARRETT is uh, wow, in a cosmic way. for anyone who doesnt know him, he was the creative force behind early pink floyd which should give you some idea. id probably rate him one of the most creative musicians ever, and coming from me, thats high praise. so if you're interested in listening to something kinda bazaar and inspirational and transcendent. this is the guy. i see how lots of people say that sort of stuff about people. but this guy seriously was on another plane most of the time.

[Surrogate_Helical]

I reccomend The Theivery Cooperation, its what I would call good restaurant music

[Anne, You Can't Hide]

I recommend an electronic band called Death In Vegas. They absolutely brilliant. Very original, talented and intresting. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009PJR...5Fencoding=UTF8
Some soundclips.

I watched the Foo Fighters in Hyde Park this weekend, and Juliette and the licks supported-they were so good! Juliette Lewis is a great front-woman for the band-she has so much energy and personality-they were great to watch!

[Sexual-_-Siren]

A band who's really dominating the local secen here in Bristol (UK), G.E.M. They're rock with a teaspoon of funk added to the mix to make one hot tea (Sorry for the terrible metaphor ) Also try The Hit-Ups, also from Bristol and dominating the local scene. Infact these two are quite the rivals.....

Look 'em up on MySpace, I can't be bothered to give links right now

Oh almost forgot, Plan B, a British Hip Hop artist who has been dubbed "the British Eminem" (Eminem's good stuff )
