Oh, yay~! I've been looking for some new music, too. =D

Band name: Imogen Heap (Or Frou Frou, because it's the same singer. XD)
Genre: Like no other (aka indie, blues, rock/pop. Depends on the song.)
Notes/comments: If you haven't heard of her, for shame. She's amazing. I adore all her songs that I've heard, and her voice is beautiful. She's a must-hear.
Recomended Songs: Three from each~ <3

IMOGEN HEAP: Speeding Cars, Loose Ends, Angry Angel

FROU FROU: Holding Out for A Hero, Let Go, Breath In


Annnddd I would add another band, but the one I want to put down I have only one song from (for now), sooo... XDD;;;

I suppose I should put a few down...

Band name: Boards of Canada
Genre: Electronica, Ambient, Other
Notes/comments: Really, really different. No singing, just insturmental. Also, if you'd seen Salad Fingers, their music is used in that.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=A2zKARkpDW4

Band name: Clannad
Genre: Celtic, Folk
Notes/comments: Augh... like Dead Can Dance, or any other kind of celtic music, really... then you'll like them. Also, they're the people who made Enya famous. She was in their band before she got up and left. One of their songs is also the inspiration for an entire organization in one of my books.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=sUiu-JztpKE

Band name: Dead Can Dance
Genre: Celtic, Ethereal Wave, Dream pop, World, Darkwave, New Age/Ethnic Fusion
Notes/comments: This is actually the main band's music we use for our Pagan rituals... so, uh, yeah. The female counter-part singer, Lisa Gerard, did music for a lot of movies in this band. Namebly, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, and Alexander. Probably my third favorite band, here.

Band name: Kaiser Chiefs
Genre: Alternative rock.... ish
Notes/comments: This band is pretty awesome, they're a little reminiscent of Franz Ferdinand, but only a little. They truly are what one could call unique.
A few videos of theirs:
Everything Is Average Nowadays

I Predict a Riot: International Version - this one is my particular favorite, and the song that got me interested in the band in the first place

Band name: The Doors
Genre: Psychedelic/Blues Rock

I recommend the album "Morrison Hotel".

Band name: Jefferson Airplane
Genre: Psychedelic Rock
Notes/Comments: asdfjlk; I LOVE THIS BAND. Rest of this description delorted due to epic failure.

Regardless, I recommend the album "After Bathing at Baxter's."

Notes/comments: They just released their first CD "CexCells", it's so good >.<! So, the band consists of AFI's Davey Havoc and Jade Puget, they are just brilliant~! You might know there first single "Stiff Kittens". All people go out and buy it now! You -will- not be disappointed.

Band name: Matt Mills
Genre: Worship/Christian Rock
Notes/comments: He's my worship leader from Liberty Church in Pensacola. Really great singer and worship leader. Matt Mills Myspace

Band name: Jon Owens
Genre: Worship/Gospel
Notes/comments: He's my worship leader at Every Nation Tallahassee, and I'm honored to back him up on the keys on Sundays. Awesome. Jon Owens Myspace

Band name: BAYLEN

Band name: Liquid Bullfraug

Band name: Army Of The Pharaohs
Genre: Rap/Hip-Hop
Notes/comments: It's a collaboration project by a group of underground East Coast MCs, I've shared it with people who listen to a lot of crap like 50 cent and eminem- they can't handle it because they're too used to their watered down MTV genre. I have a very strong distaste for the genre as a whole, but this group has some really entertaining beats, and very hardcore lyrics (this is probably why I enjoy them honestly... nothing better for owning in games like Soldier Front). It isn't kids music.

[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Band: Queens of the Stone Age
Genre: Alternative, Punk, Inventors of "Stoner/Robot Rock."
Song Recommendations: No One Knows, Little Sister, The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret.

Band: Lost Prophets
Genre: Alternative, Punk, Pop Punk
Song Recommendations: Town Called Hypocrisy, Shinobi Vs. Dragon Ninja, Last Train Home, Burn Burn.

Band: America
Genre: I dunno. Oldies? Hippie?
Song Recommendations: Ventura Highway, Sister Goldenhair.

Band: Cascada
Genre: Techno/Pop
Song Recommendations: Bad Boy, Every Time We Touch.
Notes: This band is good, but it's so... girly. Every time I listen to this I can only take it for ten minutes before I need to go like, break bricks with my forehead, or break a wall down, or start a fight just to prove my MANLINESS.

Band: Narnia
Genre: Christian Metal
Song Recommendations: Man From Nazareth, People of the Bloodred Cross.
Notes: You can find one of their albums (the one the song recommendations came from) here.

Band: Counting Crows
Genre: Alternative?
Song Recommendations: Mrs. Potter's Lullabye, Mr. Jones, Big Yellow Taxi.
Notes: They had a song on Shrek 2 called accidentally in love. DO NOT EXPECT THIS SORT OF SONG FROM THEM. He wrote that because they asked him to. Most of his stuff is depressing, honestly. Although Mrs. Potter's Lullabye is kinda upbeat.

Band: Ben Folds/Five
Genre: Punk Rock for Sissies.
Song Recommendations: One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces (Warning: Language), Not the Same, Jackson Cannery.
Notes: He originally started a band called Ben Folds Five, which was a joke because there were only three members. He plays piano, and his bandmates had drums and bass, with no guitarist. Basically, they stuck to a medium-speed style with some really fast piano occasionally. The band broke up, and he's kept the same style, but he does it all himself.

Band: Blacktop Manhattan

Song Recommendations: Honestly, the only song I know of theirs is called "Hollywise." You can find it here.

Band: Sugarland

Song Recommendations: Fury of the Storm, Operation Ground and Pound, My Spirit Will Go On.

Artist: Rick Astley

Song Recommendations: His best song can be found here. :D

Arist: Daisuke Ishiwatari
Genre: Metal, Rock
Song Recommendations: Pride and Glory, Momentary Life, Haven't You Got Eyes in Your Head?.

Band name: Hollywood Undead
Genre: ...uh.... Not so easily described. They're the kind of mess you get when you throw a bunch of scene/hardcore fans and a rapper into the same song.
Notes/comments: Musically talented? not so much. Easy to listen to? very much.

:lol: I just heard BFMV's new album, and a few of the songs are just awesome! Check it out:

Bullet for my Valentine - UG Profile

My two favorite tracks so far are "Forever and Always" and "Say Goodnight."

And as far as their genre goes, they used to be metalcore, but as of this album, they're just metal.
