raidenradio Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I thought this would be a nice place for people needing to expand their musical tastes and the people who like to suggest new music for others. I enjoy a wide variety of genres but don't my consider myself to be an expert in any. Most of the new music I find by checking the wikipedias of the record labels of other bands I like. So here's a few of the groups of genres I like. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Hip-Hop Instrumental Progressive Jazz (need a lot of help here) Metalcore 70's Soul & R&B Pop Punk Post-Hardcore Progressive Metal Progressive Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raidenradio Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 whatcha got for 70s soul & r&b?>also interested I'm a sucker for some Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, and Marvin Gaye. Other than that I have a 70's Soul Gold double album and the greatest movie soundtrack of all time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Albums essential from the soul artists mentioned in the order of their importance (IMHO): Marvin Gaye: "What's Going On" "Let's Get It On" A greatest hits of his songs in the 60's would be essential too. Al Green: "Let's Stay Together" "I'm Still in Love with You" Curtis Mayfield: "Curtis" I could lend a hand on jazz too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Other R&B and soul artists to think about (mostly out of the 70's): Ray Charles (some credit him with the invention of mixing gospel and R& Sam Cooke (beautiful voice, unparalleled ability, died young) Otis Redding (obvious but died too young, too) Allen Toussaint (influential New Orleanian who recorded a few things but produced some famous artists) Booker T & the MG's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgedestroys Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 If you don't already jam Madvillian and Flying Lotus get on that. Also, War From A Harlot's Mouth (except their album Shoals, fuck that one). mathy deathcore kinda stuff with occasional jazz breaks. They're pretty rad. Progressive metal/deathcore stuff I've been jamming lately: The Contortionist (a MUST), The Human Abstract (except their album Midheaven, bleh), Circle Of Contempt, Shadow Of The Colossus, Cold Night For Alligators, Elitist, Structures, After The Burial, A Thousand Times Repent. Ion Dissonance is always a blast too. I dunno, I'm a sucker for heavy stuff with way too many breakdowns to be taken seriously... to a fault. Speaking of which, since you dig FTFD, check out Gideon. +I've mentioned them a few times on here already but definitely get Telefon Tel Aviv. They range from IDM to ambient to glitch to Jazzy shit to synth-pop and whatever else. Really good tunes to just chill to. Their first two albums are amazing.

xjustinxschwierx Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Sam Cooke, either Live at the Copa, or Live at Harlem Square Club 1963 albums...both totally amazing. Mile Davis, Kind of Blue, along with Bitches Brew Prog Rock: Yes (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/yes-p5891/discography) anything from 1972 to 1980 is great, save for Tales From Topagraphic Oceans...that one has way too much pointless fucking around musically...but if you like the Mars Volta, this is the album they're trying to emulate(...including all the pointless fucking around). 90125 is great but much more pop oriented, then from there on it gets spotty, though most (but not all) albums do have at least a song worth the purchase. Emerson, Lake and Palmer (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/emerson-lake-palmer-p4186/discography) anything from 1970-1977 Pink Floyd (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/pink-floyd-p76669/discography) anything (except Animals) from 1969 forward is essential, even the Division Bell is fantastic, though Momentary Lapse of Reason and the Dvision Bell are basically David Gilmour solo records (of which all 3 he's released are really good)...as are all of the Roger Waters solo records. I'm not super into the pre 1969 psychedelic stuff they did with Syd Barrett....but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Post Hardcore: Quicksand "Slip" (Manic Depression has singular songs that are better than all of Slip, but Slip is an overall better album) Helmet "Mean Time" for starters.... Texas is the Reason get everything: LP, split with the Promise Ring, s/t 7" and split with Samuel Fireside Do Not Tailgate, Uomini D'Onore, Fantastic Four(more quicksand level hardcore than all of their albums) Handsome s/t CD FANFUCKINGTASTIC, kinda radio friendly, but incredible.

rocknroll76 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I love the soundtrack for The Harder They Come specifically the tracks by The Melodians, The Maytals, and Desmond Dekker but don't know where to go from there. I really like that lo-fi 1960s reggae sound and would like to get some albums in this vain (vein?). Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this, in some sense, but it comes after Dark Side because, of course, it's their best album. Pink Floyd goes like this for me: skip the Syd Barret stuff, and skip the the latter Gilmour 'solo' records.

plasma36 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 For modern jazz you need to check out Naked City. Anything on John Zorn's Tzadik label is probably worth the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd dig em if you haven't heard of them before. And since you're from PA, i've got to give my boys a shout out. check out Forbearance (melodic hardcore) and We The Gathered (christian metalcore) you might like them http://www.facebook.com/forbearancepa http://www.facebook.com/wethegathered?ref=ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
