So I'm looking for some new music. I like pretty much everything except for rap. My top bands are Wilco, Animal Collective, The White Stripes, Foxy Shazam, and The Flaming Lips. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
If you're talking about genres, well, there's a lot of good ones. For starters, 60s and 70s classic rock is where every music level should start, so many genres originated from those bands; the British Invasion - The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, The Who and heavy metal is also a good place to look, particularly British bands, such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Cream and then there's the New Wave of British Heavy Metal - Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Rainbow. Then there's the original punk movement on either side of the Atlantic; Ramones, The Clash, Sex pistols, The Police are all great bands from that time. And finally, there's alternative rock; bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden and the like.
