Something New Music Wise (Help)

[Schysm]

Disclaimer: I understand that, literally, the thread below me discusses rock music. However, his topic covers material that I am not all that interested in; if I wanted mainstream crap I'd go there.

As I have drained my current music pool, I am in dire need of new ideas and suggestions. However, having already listened to the radio recently, I am tired of being bombarded with the same song with different lyrics sung by every mainstream band.

I am challenging you, the members of this board, to rack your brains for decent music. Doesn't necessarily have to be underground, but it needs to not be so mainstream as to smack me in the face every time I listen to it.

The following genres are open: Rock (Every kind, I am encompassing everything from Alternative to Black Metal), Hip-Hop (Obviously nothing like Kanye West), Rap (NOT Gangsta rap, please choose something a little bit deeper), and Jazz.

Thanks in advance, I await your replies.

Post-rock.

Mogwai

Explosions In The Sky
Sigur Ros
Godspeed! You Black Emperor
Russian Circles



And some Enter Shikari for good measure, as they're the shit. Listen to the whole thing, don't listen to the first 20secs and think you know what you've got yourself into.

Why not, when the rest of the song sounds pretty much the same throughout?

For Jazz, I really like The Rippingtons for smooth jazz and relaxation. I'm not going to post a lot of videos, if you like it, go search yourself.

Okay TS
Jazz Fusion with Jonas Hellborg, he literally is one of the best Bassists in the world, this will not bore you.

Grungish - Seattle Rockers Candlebox (if you're tired of listening to Nirvana)

Disarmonia Mundi - If you're fan of Melodeath and good catchy clean choruses


Evergrey - Progressive Metal


Cynic - Tech Death (with Jazz fusion influence, you'll be suprised)

Black Stone Cherry - Good modern Hard Rock

Adagio - Prog Metal from France

5 Star Grave - Punk and Rock n Roll influenced Melodeath

In terms of my original demands, I am amazed at how well this thread is turning out. I'd like to again thank you ONrpgers for keeping my music stream fresh and dragging me out of the cesspool of mainstream music.

Check out Dire Straits.

You really need a healthy respect for classic rock to enjoy them.
