Music suggestion thread
 

My next odd idea has arrived.
You can post up to 2 songs that you think people should listen to. Songs that you think are either under appreciated or perhaps from a band who aren't that big yet. I spent 10 minutes this morning watching Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing live as it was posted on Reddit and thoroughly enjoyed it so anything goes.

My first two are from (relatively) new bands, I've only recently discovered both so they are new to me at least.

Awolnation, they made the song "Sail" that accompanied the video of the base jumper "grinding the crack". I was told they were a one hit wonder but after getting their album I like quite a few tracks so here is my most played song by them:

Awolnation - Burn It Down

And Twin Atlantic, I really like scottish bands it seems, Biffy Clyro being my current favourite but Twin Atlantic seem to be a younger version and it is nice to be liking them a bit earlier in their career (namely as the concert tickets are dirt cheap ;)) (Make a beast of myself has recently hit the radio 1 playlist I noticed so I'm not posting that)

Twin Atlantic - Edit Me

I'd have liked to have posted "We want better man" as it's an awesome song but perhaps not the best introduction to the band. 'tube it if interested of course.

Take it away with any other suggestions or ridicule of my musical tastes ;)

Never knock a person's musical tastes, they're theirs and are as justified as the next persons...

Here's my 2 songs, 2 very different bands

Passafire - Dimming Sky
Here's an Acoustic version of a great song, just to give an example of the bands skills, they're a nice sound for the summer (if it arrives) and I have all thier albums, they're ace, top 5 band for me. Check out some more of their music on youtube! Mostly Rock Reggae if there is such a genre...I don't think many know of their music even though they've released a few albums now.

Hybrid - Break My Soul
This group is more electronic/drum & bass but with some nice ambient orchestral sounds and gorgeous singing, nice turned up loud, gives me chills! Again not sure of how well known they are but very well put together modern music IMHO

On to the next post :)

Very good band called New Cassettes:

And an old personal favourite Easyworld:

Theres just so much to choose from my musical repertoire! Anything from goth to death, to pyschedelic, jazz, blues.......so

First one would be this...............just awesome, and thats it!

Freeeeee the mind maaaaaaaaaaaaan :p Listen on headphones if you can!

And this, as I'm really into their album at the moment. Something I tune the vocal chords with around the house. However what isn't on it, and should be is a beautiful cover of Sades No ordinary Love. I love this track, and lyrics <3

'20 years' from the album would have been next, these people just have some beautiful harmony in their voices, and the lyrics are simply gorgeous too! Words I can relate to....which is what a song is all about. I missed out last month seeing them live :(

WHY only two......theres way too much in my head to choose from!

Re: Music suggestion thread
 

First one is an old one...
Anne Clark - Wallies

and my second is my All time Fav.
Talk Talk - It's My Life

Re: Music suggestion thread
 

Loving that Twin Atlantic track Brettus!!
Nothing else really floating my boat tbh.
Except that Civil Wars track. Quite nice is that.

Re: Music suggestion thread
 

Excellent, glad it is of some use then. I'm listening to the tracks posted now. I've just hit play on the Seven Deadly track, quite like it
Favourite so far has to be the New Cassettes, closely followed by the Passafire track, funky and I quite like that.

I had to abort the Hybrid one as it isn't my kind of music but I'm already 3 new bands up on where I started so thank you Org! :cheers:

update: Lawnmower Deth got aborted but I like a live band to have a sense of humour so bonus points for that.
Funkadelic - Aborted but only due to time constraints, I can imagine that making quite nice background music, not my main taste but one I could get on with.
Civil Wars - Playing at the moment, quite liking it, not a fan of many female vocalists but that is pretty nice.

Nice choices there Richie, hadn't heard the Anne Clark, very... crescendal (that should SO be a word)

Thanks for the input everyone. I know what I'll be doing in my downtime at work tomorrow, thanks for spending more of my money guys ;)

Re: Music suggestion thread
