I'm itching to expand my music collection. Any suggestions?

Question

To give you an idea of the kind of stuff I like......Tori Amos, Nine Inch Nails, Vast, Queensryche, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey, Radiohead....you get the idea.
Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I'll check out all your recommendations:-)

Answer 1

oh my goodness, your tastes are like the same as mine! try kate bush...she's a lot like tori amos, maybe a bit more far out. listen to "wuthering heights" first

Answer 2

Oooh, where to begin?! How about some plainsong Georgian chants? Or something a few HUNDRED years down the line like the mesmerising counterpoint of J.S. Bach. Fancy some homoerotic ostinatos, Mozart's your man, or for more manly passion move along to Wagner. Still in need of something a little more experimental? After all, you did mention Radiohead; I'd go for Messiaen, or perhaps Schoenburg if you dare. Mark-Anthony Turnage's your man if in need of a 20th Century fix.

Answer 3

you have enormously diverse tastes. i could try right here: intercourse Pistols The Ramones The Velvet Underground Bob Dylan Neil youthful Steppenwolf The Mamas and The Papas Jefferson airplane Eric Clapton and Cream The Plastic Ono Band (John Lennon's solo stuff) Elvis The Yardbirds Johnny funds The Fugees The Offspring i could additionally inspire you to look into the origins of rock music with musicians like pal Holly and Chuck Berry.

Answer 4

mushroomhead
symphony x
dream theater
screaming trees

Answer 5

You have good taste! Try Filter,Red House Painters, Wolfgang Press,Coldplay,Norah Jones,The Godfathers,Widespread Panic.

Answer 6

'A good place to start would be http://www.pandora.com -you can put in the names of bands that you like and it plays you a selection of other bands with similar styles. You need to register with a US postcode, though 90210 worked for me. It's a good site.

'New' bands that are worth a look:-

Cold War Kids
GoodBooks
Blood Red Shoes
Clor
Tilly and the Wall

Random 'Old' bands/artists:-

Jeff Buckley (A GENIUS -Thom Yorke loved him)
Cream
M.Craft
Janice Joplin
Patti Smith
David Holmes
Herbie Hancock
Ben Harper

Hope that helps
