list 5 song recommendations (exclude mainstream)

<p>I feel awful for killing this thread, I didn’t realize my taste in music turned so many people off, keep this thread going despite me, it is too cool to die</p>

<p>No way, you have pretty awesome taste in music. I’ll keep it going.</p>

<p>Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin
CCR - Proud Mary
Johnny Cash - I Hung My Head</p>

<p>I love nights in white satin! Justin Hayward is hot! here’s a few more by those three
johnny cash -sunday morning coming down (sad and mainstream)
Moody blues- my fav is definitely nights but I guess if I had to pick one more it would be “the story in your eyes” or “your wildest dreams” so upbeat!
CCR- “lodi” or “someday never comes” reminds me of family bbq’s :)</p>

<p>Mos Def - Umi Says
The Flaming Lips - Fight Test
Radiohead - Lucky
Blackstar - Definition
The Band - The Weight (Take a load off annie)</p>

<p>The American Analog Set - Punk as F***
The Appleseed Cast - Fishing in the Sky
Drive Til Morning - Orange and Tweed

<p>Good choice on that one! “million young”, “fool around”, and “modern drummer” are also gems.</p>

<p>Jesus’ Brother Bob- Arrogant Worms (only the best canadian band ever)
and fill in 4 more random Arrogant Worms songs</p>

<p>The entire Avenue Q soundtrack, if you are in a comical/broadway mood.</p>

<p>“Frank Lloyd Wright” or “The Dangling Conversation” - Simon and Garfunkel, if you feel moody or thoughtful</p>

<p>“Why Can’t I be You”- The Cure- if you feel like dancing, or The Killers/Franz Ferdinand alternative stuff, Neutral Milk Hotel- “Holland, 1945”</p>

<p>And i second Creedence Clearwater revival- “Lookin out my back door”, “Have you ever seen the rain”, happy music</p>

<p>If you feel angry at the world, Pink Floyd’s, “another brick in the wall”, and “Hey You”</p>

<p>the decemberists - odalisque
ash - jack names the planets
chemical brothers - private psychedelic reel

franx ferdinand – love and destroy

<p>I think you mean ‘menow’ rather than ‘meow’ :D</p>

<p>I’m going to try and catch the decemberists when they come by on tour in march. the new album is great.</p>

<p>babybird87, good choices! the decemberists are coming here in march. I saw them last fall, but I’m really excited to see them again!! eek.</p>

<p>Opened Winamp, shuffled through five songs. This is your list:</p>

<p>Sonata Arctica - “Don’t Say A Word”
Stratovarius - “Freedom”
Curriculum Mortis - “Frail”
Kamelot - “Center of the Universe”
Bal-Sagoth - “The Splendour Of A Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire”</p>

<p>Eh, I know for a fact no one will ever find that Curriculum Mortis song, considering they’ve never actually released an album (I got the song from a friend in Sweden). Then again, I highly doubt anyone will check out anything I posted. I have the mp3s if you’re interested in some really esoteric stuff.</p>

<p>My Bloody Valentine “When You Sleep”
Wilco “Hummingbird”
The Zombies “Beechwood Park”
The Stone Roses “I Am the Resurrection”
Talking Heads “Born Under Punches (The Heat is On)”</p>

<p>my bloody valentine is god. as is ian brown. I heart you beej.</p>

<p>Radiohead - “Karma Police”</p>

<p>Michael Buble- Sway
Grandaddy- AM 180
Roy Orbinson- You got it
Wormsloew- Low country boy
Frank Sinatra- New York, New York</p>

<p>Has anyone heard of Pete Murray? His whole cd “feeler” is amazing, especially “bail me out” and “so beautiful.” It’s very relaxing and so awesome. Check it out.</p>

<p>Lonely Holiday
Up the Devil’s Pay
Timebomb
Weightless
Victoria</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>vegangirl-- i wish the decemberists were playing near me!! i keep checking their site, but sadly they’re not coming to NY anytime soon. looking back at my list, i have to say my favorite song by them is “Chimbley Sweep”…soo good.</p>

<p>it’s so funny, because I’m into all this indie music, some kids at my school find it so weird that I’m Republican. I’m a walking contradiction.</p>
