Good news: I went shopping today and picked up more mini-discs than I know what to do with.
Bad news: I went shopping today and picked up more mini-discs than I know what to do with.

(I also just typed "mini-discs" both times as "mini-dics" first. Hee. Yes, MINI-DICS(tm), the penises made especially for those of you who can't afford the care and upkeep of a normal-sized penis! And coming soon, FAMILY-SIZE DICS, fun for the whole -- hey! Why are all you all laughing? And what are the Innuendo Police doing knocking on my door?!)

In any event, I now have twenty blank mini-discs and nothing to put on them. So, having seen you guys at work on that song titles meme, I know you guys have great taste in music, and I was wondering if you could suggest some bands or singers I might not have heard of that I might like.

Types of music I don't like -- Boy band or teen princess pop, country, techno, death metal, hardcore rap.
Types of music I do like -- Emo, alternative, girl bands, hard rock, classic rock, goth, music that was popular when I was in high school (1991-1995), one-hit wonders.
Bands I have already that I like -- Evanescence, Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, Our Lady Peace, Linkin Park

Any help would be much appreciated. 'Cause there's mini-discs all over the place now and they want to eat my brains. I tried feeding them popcorn, but did they eat it? Noooo ...

Hmmm. I listen to a whole hell of a lot, from Early Renaissance (recommend anything by the Anonymous 4 and Bimbetta) to classic rock and even (some) country. What I tend to pay attention to a lot are *lyrics*. If the lyrics are bad, I rarely care much for the band/singer.

Bruce Springsteen (he's The Boss, after all)
Indigo Girls
Jack Johnson
Santana
John Mellencamp
Blues Traveller
Indigenous
Sheryl Crow
Melissa Ethreidge
Sarah McLachlan

Some additional ones less well-known: Robbie Robertson (any, but I like his first epynomous album best), The Wyrd Systers (Canadian women's trio), and album called "Rain Tree Crow" with Mick Karn, David Sylvian, Steve Jansen and Richard Barbieri, a (native) women's trio called Ulali, and a native (Taos) singer, Robert Mirabal (especially "Mirabal: Alter-Native"), last, David Sylvian's "Dead Bees on a Cake."

That enough? ;>

I'm seconding her Jack Johnson and highly reccomending some Jason Mraz (the song "Remedy" in particular) and Jump, Little Children. For Jump, try getting ahold of "Cathedrals" "My Guitar" or "Come Out Clean." They have a bunch of great stuff though.
I also reccomend Tinkers Punishment. Very emo. Try "Why Can't You Ever Let It Go" "What You Say" and "I Hope You're Right."

K, that's it from me.

Second time trying to post this:

Yes, Jump, Little Children. Everything, and lots of it.
