Requesting music suggestions
Cerulean:
I'm looking for some new music and thought it'd be a good idea to ask this community.
Here goes:
I like Postal Service because the nonvocal elements reward me for paying attention. I hear something new each time I listen closely. I appreciate that the lyrics are less formulaic than some popular music, with less verse/chorus/repeat.
I like narrative music like Marty Robbins's El Paso. Music that tells a story appeals to me greatly if it's a good story.
I like to learn. I have memorized the song from Animaniacs in which Yakko sings the names of (almost) all the world's countries.
I like vocal harmony. Gregorian chant is a good example, as is African tribal music.
I like unusual voices because singing along exercises my ability to imitate. (Bright Eyes, Rammstein, Leonard Cohen.)
What do you suggest?
Hat:
Woah it has been so long since we had one of these threads.

I assumed it would be a pretty common request. Unfortunately, the specific nature of this sort of request does not lend itself well to a single all-encompassing post that could be stickied. I apologize if my topic choice of "requesting music suggestions" misled you into assuming this thread was something besides a request for music suggestions.
Hat:
No its just there was a point a while back where we couldn't take a crap in the music lounge with out a thousand of these threads getting in your way. As it is though, you've done a pretty good job of describing what you like and why and you might actually get recommended something other than a meme album!
Not from me though.
Tom:
Weird voices, we'll start light. Try Colin Meloy (Tarkio, the Decemberists), move onto Spencer Krug (Swan Lake, Sunset Rubdown, Wolf Parade) and Carey Mercer(Swan Lake, Frog Eyes).
Diverge wherever possible.
