Recommend me some music
pat101:
oh and for the guy's thread that this is, Talking Heads will be your friend. Seriously.
KharBevNor:
Well, I can't really make out any sort of guide to what sort of metal you'd like from that (though I'm guessing I can rule out gore metal.) Maybe start with some more classic metal/hard rock sort of stuff:
Black Sabbath - Paranoid/Black Sabbath/Master of Reality
Motorhead - No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith/Bomber/Ace of Spades
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son/Powerslave
Judas Priest - British Steel/Sad Wings of Destiny
Orange Goblin - Frequencies From Planet 10/The Big Black
Hawkwind - Space Ritual/Doremi Fasol Latido
Saxon - Denim and Leather/And The Bands Played On
Cathedral - The Carnival Bizarre/The Garden of Unearthly Delights
Running Wild - Under Jolly Roger/Branded and Exiled
None of those should be too hard to get hold of on any p2p network, nor any record store come to that. If you don't like a single album on that list, then basically you'd probably best not listen to metal.
The Hammered:
I see a lot of indie rock bands on there, but not Pixies. If you haven't already checked them out, you should do so as soon as possible.

you're a good man, I will let you know of the results and I've dabled in some Priest/Maiden/Sabbath in the past nothing past the singles though so here's to hoping.
La Creme:
People are saying too much. Get these 3 albums (click album covers for links, and proof that you can get each pretty ding-dang cheap.):
The Sugarplastic - Bang, The Earth Is Round
This you will like. It is in the same vein as The New Pornographers, The Apples In Stereo, or The Shins. If you listen to or have ever listened XTC, this is like a cuter, less spastic version of them. Ben Eshbach is kind of this magical songwriter who combines the best elements of every Beatle. As you can see, you can get it pretty cheap, so goddam get it.
alaska! - Rescue Through Tomahawk
This dark, rocktastic alternative will take steal your love away from the Dandy Warhols in a sniggity snap. I can't really think of anything else on your list that is really like them, but there are definately elements of a lot of stuff you say you like. "Real Is Your Control" and "The Light" are the definate standout tracks, download them, and if you like 'em, get the album.
Built To Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love
Basically this is a band you need to be listening to. They are heavy inspirations on a lot of stuff on your list, and they are also damn fantastic. All their earlier stuff is extremely terrific (their later stuff is good too, but not as good as the earlier albums), but this is the album I started on and it worked great for me, so I hope it'll work great for you.
KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL THREE OF THESE TOGETHER USED WILL COST YOU LESS THAN 10 DOLLARS
Seriously, buy this stuff, enjoy. Happy Birthday.
