Fun Stuff > BAND
All Inclusive "Recommend Me For Music" Thread
Scytale:
If you like ELO, you'll love "Yes" and "Uriah Heep"
You'll probably also like "Rush"
If you like Deep Purple also check out the first couple of "Rainbow" albums, Richie Blackmoor with Ronnie James Dio, classic stuff.
TheCourtJester:
I know this thread is old...but I OPENED for Count Basie in my hometown, Folsom, and there's no band I'd recommend before themn./
I also opened for the Chick Corea trio in North texas...their new recording are SUPERB. Their newest album is on Strech Record's label now, and it is neeeaaaaat.
I'd also recommend Digable Planets...more as sort of a fusion jazz than anything. It was really my intro into decent hip-hop. Some good artists that are pretty close would be Madlib, Beat Junkies, or Bahamadia.
And on teh more obscure list...R?yksopp. Particularly the track Psychedelish.
Yes my firends...that ever lovely and obscure genre known as ACID JAZZ. For that particular niche, I would also recommend "The Quiet Boys - Everybody Loves the Sunshine," and for the fan of John Coltrane and for a more...eh...smooth experience, "Pharoah Sanders - Astral Traveling" (you might want to get really stoned for that one, though) is eeeeexcellent.
...This is all, of course, overlooking the obvious Rat Pack members (if your don't know who they were, Google is your goddamn friend you lazy ass) and the classics whi9ch have been mentioned before this here post.
I also find New York Voices to be an easily accessible jazz group...they oerforn many songs that span across african-based jazz to big-bang style....and an awesome album of jazz compositions of songs written by Paul Simon....veeery aweome, IMO.
I am too drunk to coninue. Acarry on.
EDITR: As much as I like to get into punk, ska, indfie, whatever...Jazz is always my standard by whichb I judge all other tyhpes of music. Dunno if thatsb god or not. HE he
ALoveSupreme:
I can agree with that, I suppose. I'd edit the earlier post but I don't actually care that much.
Johnny C:
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole were all jazz, right?
I like them.
BrittanyMarie:
Recommending and introducing are not the same thing. I stand by my statement stating that they're a good way to get a feel for the different sort of sounds from different eras, so long as the artist in question is prolific enough. Like Mr. Eyeball Kid said, "but the Greatest Hits can help me figure out which era of Dylan the person is most likely to like."
An example is an artist like Tom Waits, who released a bunch of albums throughout many years-Blood Money is not the same as Rain Dogs which is not the same as Closing Time. I won't (generally, there are exceptions) download songs or albums unless it's from a label or artist official site, so the "why recommend one when you can just download all of them" point is moot.
