okay, as said in the title, I'm new to the indie scene/music, I wish to try out some Indie music for a change in taste, perhaps you could suggest some songs based on my preference and history below, I listened to Banshee beat as recommended in the front page, simply because its so shocking(the comic i mean...)
A little history about me, I started out listening to grunge/punk rock slightly before the whole scene exploded, and slighly into the beginning of the scene, I listened to it because it sounded nice, yet was loud and angsty enough for my tastes then, listened to bands like limp bizkit, blink 182, etc. i don't listen to them at all now, except for arvil lavinge(i'm a pop whore now, more on that later)
then i progressed to heavy metal, not so much of the heavy genre, but rather, the '70's' rock scene, bands like val halen, iron maiden, black sabbath, aerosmith, ac/dc, led zepplin, etc. loved it because it had a 70's feel, was loud(i was angsty then), and fun, still listen to a little bit of heavy metal...
then comes the part where i turn into a pop whore, heavy metal was too loud for me, and this is the time where the RNB/rap scene is expanding, I hate RNB/rap to the very core of me, and still hate it, the very few that can really do RNB is sidelined by what i consider posuers, so i decide to listen to pop, sure, it has no 'culture' nor 'scene' or whatever, but i've never been in music for the those two things anyway, i like nice sounding songs, and i suddenly become 'one of the masses' with no preference for songs, so what? everyone else is either trying to act like they're black(rap), or that they're cultured clubber(RNB) when in fact they're just one of the masses.... I also listen to chinese pop(which is more pop that pop is, it contains 90% ballards and close to 100% of the songs are love songs)...
I listen to a mix of everything except RNB now, my favourite songs are the really poppy ones like 'behind these hazel eyes' 'if you come to me', most snoop dogg raps(yes, i know its rap, but i like it...he can really do it right) etc.
maybe you could explain the 'indie' type of music to me, seems really interesting and unique, banshee beat was very very nice, i enjoyed it a lot, i'm hoping for more 'nice' music rather than 'interllectual' or whatever rubbish people choose to call bad music, seems to me that many people just pick a popular song out of the radio, try to like it and then, call it great, when in fact it sounds terrible, i just enjoy nice music, that's it, so throw out a few nice songs, if i like them, i'll go deeper, if not, then its ok, at least banshee beat was a blast....
