4. Boris- Pink.

Boris are a trio from Japan that play heavy, droning stoner rock, but add the occasional uptempo punk number and even have some ambient and psychedelic elements to their stuff.

[Forkboy]

16. One of the best CDs of last year.

Easily in my top 5.The new one with Michio Kurihara is awesome too,though not nearly as uptempo as Pink is.

[NaturalHigh]

5. Be My Enemy by The Waterboys.

[Dr. Strange]

22. I like the Waterboys

Especially "Is She Conscious?" God, I love that song!

[MAGICBULLET]

6. I've been on an oldies rock n' soul kick

Maybe it's my past lives talking to me. After I saw "John Lennon's Juke Box" I started hunting these 45s and found most of them. I'm happy. I'm sure you can download them much easier than having to find the records.

12. Hugo Largo and The Embarrassment

Awesome choices; "Drum" is one of the best EP's ever made...

[RandomKoolzip]

18. Thanks....

I alays wondered why hugo largo didn't have the cult following that the Cocteau Twins had - I, for one, thought they were leaps and bounds ahead of the CTs. Maybe it was the way 4AD marketed their product to college girls.

[Aristus]

11. Maurice Andre, Trumpet God, plays...anything!

Wonderful music.

[LSK]

13. anything Dido

If you want mellow.

[regularguy]

14. I've been digging "The Pernice Brothers" lately.

[LeftyFingerPop]

15. Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around n/t

[Dr. Strange]

17. Well, personally,

I would recommend that you start listening to some different music! :silly:

But, if you insist on sticking with this kind of music...
Have you tried Pandora? Maybe they could come up with some more music that you'd like.

[Fran Kubelik]

19. Silly.

I was asking you to recommend music that you like to other DUers.
What music do you listen to?

[Dr. Strange]

20. Ah, I see

In that case, here are some youtube videos of some artists that I like to listen to:

Rush (an awesome fan video)
Mike Oldfield
Radiohead
Peter Gabriel

And here's a band that I discovered a couple of years ago that I really like--and they have a lot of their songs available on their website for free: Autumn!
