My Ipod is filled with a bunch of all old songs. Need something fresh. Maybe some rock? Not rap, unless it's some catchy song or whatever.
what type of rock in particular? what are some of your favorite bands? I'm a big time music lover...I have around 1,300 cds. one of these days I'll get an ipod...

The only band I listen to consistently is RHCP.</div> You want something "fresh," like a modern band, or like older bands you've never heard of? I've been getting into a lot of jam music lately and could recommend some new bands from that scene, but that's more of the type of music you want to see live. Outside of that, the only real music I'm up to date on is rap/hip-hop that I hear in bars, clubs, parties, and stuff. I've also re-discovered a lot of old music recently, like A Tribe Called Quest, Bob Dylan, Traffic, Deep Purple, etc. If you narrow down what you want a little though, I'll try to give you a good rec. specific to what you're looking for. BTW - Do we still have the rec. thread? I've been gone for so long that I forgot all about it until now.
well, the new nine inch nails album is available for free at nin.com also, I recommend checking out saul william's latest album, also available for free at his website. (very good alternative hip hop) voodoo child, I may have asked you this before, but have you heard of the group the legendary pink dots?

I've always liked the Allman Brothers and the Dead, but being in such a musical city, I've gone to a lot of crazy shows and have sort of discovered the jam scene. I've seen bands like Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks Band, Widespead Panic, moe., etc. Some of the electronic jam bands like STS9 and Bisco are fun to see live too, as are the jazzier ones like Dirty Dozen Brass Band. I'm actually going to be seeing a lot of good jam bands this summer going to Bonnaroo and Rothbury (a new festival in Michigan). There's some big name headliners like Pearl Jam, 311, Metallica, Snoop Dogg, Modest Mouse, Jack Johnson, etc., but there's also a hell of a lot of good jam bands this year. Just check out the lineups - Bonnaroo - http://www.bonnaroo.com/artists.aspx Rothbury - http://www.rothburyfestival.com/festival/artists.php You listen to jam bands?

it's strange because some of the bands I listen to, like Gomez, aren't classified jam bands on record, but live they're completely different and jam out with the best of them. hey, you gotta check out Michael Franti and Spearhead at Bonarao! They jam out great live, and again, you wouldn't be able to tell listening to a cd of theirs. Legendary Pink Dots, they jam on record and live, and it's a combination of live instrumentation and electronics. It was truely a live changing concert when I saw them live, and I've not turned back since. It's a bit darker and abstract at times, but that adds to the beauty of it. And believe it or not one of the best live jam bands is Prince! I've checked out some Dirty Dozen because of their involvment with the all star game. It was just the music I was looking for, I've always loved that sound (huge fan of funk music- parliament funkadelic live = greatness) .

I was thinking of recommending them to Joker, but I didn't think it'd be in line with the rest of his tastes. Franti's got a lot of energy though... a great live performer. I can't find a good version of it online to post, but have you ever heard "Oh My God"? That song's been stuck in my head all week. Seen Parliament too... actually got kicked out of their show before it was over though (long story haha). They're not really what they used to be though.

They're really nothing alike. One has a lot of balls and testosterone, and the other is whiney and completely lacks masculinity. Punk fights the establishment, emo cries about it. The only real similarities are the simplistic musical elements that make up the songs, like power chords, etc. Punk to me is Fugazi, the Misfits, the Ramones, not Fall Out Boy, Brand New, etc.
