Tips on some new music?

Hey!

So I came to my senses the other day, and I have realized that I tend to listen to the same music all the time.
I have a lot of different music to listen to though, so that's not really the problem for me. I'm just having some trouble finding new stuff that I would enjoy, and I listen to almost everything as I'm really open minded when it comes to music. I'm using spotify as my primary source, so finding new stuff to listen to shouldn't be a problem, but it seems like I need some directions. That's why I would love if people could post artists that they like, so I could look them up. It's always nice with something new to listen to, and as a matther of fact I recently started listening to some dubstep awhile back, and I kinda like it so far.. Metal and rock is closest to my heart, but any kind of music is more than welcome! 

I got one word for you. Pandora. In the meantime....

Thanks a bunch! some of the artists that you listed are stuff that I havn't really heard of yet
As for Pandora, is that the singer that was very popular during the 90's haha? (Childhood memories kicking in), or is it another band? Just thought I should ask, since she is the only Pandora I have heard about xD

Pandora is a website that runs what they call the Music Genome Project. You enter a song, artist or genre, and they make a free radio station based on your choice.

For example, I type in Type O Negative. They play a song typical of TON's style, and I get to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. Depending on my choices, the program then selects another song that it thinks I ought to like... doesn't ALWAYS work out, but more often than not it does.

The only problems are that if you dont like a song, there are only so many songs you can skip in an hour, and Pandora is just a program- it's only as good as you are sure of what you like.

Pandora is only available in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand, so you and I are out of luck. Grooveshark might have a similar function, but I'm not sure.

As for music recommendations, I will try to think of some later when I'm off work.

Oh! I was way off then hehe. Well, that sounds extremely neat! Too bad It's not available here though.. so I guess I'll just have to go with spotify! That's not a bad thing though cause I really love it.. or well to be honest with you, I would barely survive without it..!

Ye that's unfortunate.. seems like a really nice program if you ask me. I really love spotify though, It's priceworthy and they have tons and tons of music! Some recommendations would be very welcome, looking forward to it!

WHAT?!?!?!?! Canada doesn't have Pandora?!?!?!?

I declare WAR!

Or maybe I'll just have another popsicle.

If you like Metal I've got your back.

Always happy to help a brother out

well these I just recently listened to
Spoon - Got Nuffin
The Dead Weather - Jawbreaker
The Dead Weather - So Far From Your Weapon
Metz - Wet Blanket
Divine Fits - What Gets You Alone
Radiohead - Just
Talking Heads - A Clean Break
Kasabian - Vlad the Impaler
The White Stripes - Let's Build a Home
The Decemberists - The Queen's Rebuke / The Crossing

I would also recommend the bands:
Blur
Cake
Muse
Rage Against the Machine
The Dandy Warhols
The Sword

Of course my recommendation would be Muse, because I fucking love them, but I'd say a metal guy would be more into OoS to Black Holes. I also have a raging boner for Rise Against.

Rolling with M00s' Beethoven recommendation, which I agree with entirely, I'd also like to mention that nobody should go through life without hearing Chopin and Liszt.

Thanks alot all of you! Now I have tons of music to go trough! Awesome!

I havn't listened to Muse that much, but I have alot of friends that do. They only have good things to say about them, so I might look into them a bit more, thanks. Yes, I like some classical music aswell! Moonlight Sonata is one of my favourites, even though I don't listen to Beethoven on a regular basis. Might look into more of his work though I have heard some music from Chopin when playing the game Eternal Sonta, and I really like his work too! Liszt is something I havn't heard though.

Here are a few that I like. The songs were just ones I could quickly and are representative, not necessarily my favourites.

• Wintersleep - Permanent Sigh
• New Pornographers - My Shepherd
• Cat Power - The Greatest
• Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
• Anna Calvi - Desire
• Dinosaur Jr. - Rude
• Damien Jurado - Go First

It's too bad every TDH video on youtube is such poor quality. Then again, I never listen to them on youtube anyway.
