Suggestions?

[zєяσ]

I'm not really the type to know what is hot in music right now or even to have a particular taste in music genres. That being the case, I do want to get into music more and i was wondering if you could give me suggestions.

Songs for parties?
Songs for just chilling in the dorm?
Love songs?
What's hot today?
Other?

I realize that everyone has different tastes so the more input the better.

Are you interested in hip-hop at all?

 

[Master Shake]

www.datpiff.com

New mixtapes all the time...really new stuff. Even before it hits the radio.

 

[tim]

Doesn't really fit any of your criteria, but here is a song by the Derek Trucks Band called Crow Jane

For parties "Nightripper" by the DJ "Girl Talk" is king.

Everything's so random, and chances are you'll hate half of it. Check some of it out, though

Bolded are chill songs, IMO. The rest are a lil different - potential party songs...

I wasn't a big hip-hop fan until a little over a year ago when I first heard "Respiration" by Black Star. I've been hooked on the genre ever since. But I only listen to mainly underground stuff and not the crap that's played on the radio, which is why I was a little skeptical of the genre at first.

Another classic is "Thieves in the Night." (probably my favorite track overall)

And I'm a big One Be Lo fan. This is "enecS eht no kcaB" (Back on the Scene)

I'm not a big hip hop fan, but Black Star is awesome. Talib Kweli, Mos Def, good music.

Not much yet.

Im not a music guy by any means though, so as of right now Im open to anything right now. i ask for songs to be put into categories so at leas i know when it should be appropriate to play them and such.

Ditto. And get his new CD (Feed The Animals) while you're at it.

I just got that today! I can safely say it met all my expectations.

 

[zєяσ]

Any more suggestions?

 

[tim]

Is there a certain band you like? It's harder to recommend music when you have no idea what type of music a guy listens to. Name me one that you know like.

 

[zєяσ]

Well, recently Ive been getting into a mixture of Bon Jovi, Will.I.Am, ACDC, Foo Fighters, Army of Me, Lupe Fiasco, Thousand Foot Krutch, The Temptations, Bob Marley, and Fort minor.

Good to hear. Great bands.... do you prefer one of them and would want to hear more stuff?

 

[zєяσ]

I like them both. Please continue to provide more from both and recommend similar ones as well(along with other genres as well, i want to get a taste for everything not associated with country).

Even though you aren't into rap, I suggest you listen to some Biggie. In my opinion, he's the best rap artist I have ever heard. Instead of just rapping about pointless shit, he actually tells a story. Have a quick listen:


Hold ya Head - Notorious B.I.G. feat Bob Marley

<div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>

)

Now for the best reggae artist of all-time:


This Train - Bob Marley
