Well…my cry for help on decent music seems to have worked as I now have the following recommendations: Shins, Midstates, Elected, Joanna Newsom, Espers, Yo La Tengo, Cold Fairyland, The Slip, The Kooks, Spinto Band, TV on the radio, Editors, Clap your hands and say Yeah, Cinematics, Cold War Kids, Cloud Room, Of Motral, Sufjan (Cat) Stevens, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Yngvie Johann Malmsteen. The later has an interesting DVD out with the Japan Philarmonic. Horse the Band, Mars Volta, Fantomas (Mike Patten). Nickel Creek is one of the most innovative acts going. "They're not the best at what they do; they're the only ones that do what they do." -Bill Graham . They continue to take their bluegrass roots into areas heretofore unexplored.
Thanks to Craig, Eloy, Gabby and Cristoph for loading up my CD player for the next 2 months! Ratings to follow!
Here's a cool site for finding some new artists you haven't listened to before...but, close to what you currently listen to.
