Gacking this one from dexfarkin, because I love it so.

Right. There are 450-odd of you reading this. I expect one song/band suggestion from each of you, telling me what I should be listening to. Have at it.

Without knowing anything about your taste, you should be listening to the Dismemberment Plan, which is a D.C. indie/funk/rock/punk/whatever band. First CD to get: "Emergency & I."

Deathboy. He's got a lot of MP3's available for free downloading.

Josh Rouse, "Slaveship" off the album 1972

[bibliotech.livejournal.com]

My taste ain't the usual, but my favorite song of all time is "Astral Projection Blues" by Jimmie Vaughn (Stevie Ray's brother). I live for the blues.

Oh, and "Sunday Morning" or "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon5 is always nice.

Scott DeathBoy has made Bad Sounds. You will listen to them. NOW.

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

Anything off of Kajiura Yuki's "Fiction" album - my favorites being "Key of the Twilight", "Canta Per Me", "Vanity", and "Salva Nos"


For more fun stuff, I'd say The Arrogant Worms - Last Saskatchwan Pirate. Hee, I love pirate songs.

The Refreshments - "Banditos"

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

Urban Trad. The best album is Kerua - Belgian Celtic folk with a Turkish influence. It's far better than the description makes it sound.

[amproof.livejournal.com]

"Defying Gravity" Wicked Original Broadway Cast

[prettybird.livejournal.com]

I recommend "No Good Deed" and "For Good" as well.

[doortje.livejournal.com]

Anouk: Nobody´s Wife.

[donovane.livejournal.com]

As I mentioned previously in a reply to a comment, Rammstein is ALWAYS a good choice.

Now, I also have no idea what your taste is, so I'll suggest to ya:
Knorkator- "Es kotzt mich an" and "Ich will nur ficken" --> sooo good, and wicked funny!
