I need some new music.. any recommendations?

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I'm bored with my music.


I tend to like all the old punk and indie stuff although not exclusively. I'd now like to appreciate something from this century! Can people name a few classic LP's from the last few years I should go for?

The last 2 CD's I brought were The Stills ( ok, not great) and REM's greatest hits which is wonderful of course but hardly new.

Any suggestions?

 

[Faldo]

Jet - Get Born, and either elbow album are my current CDs of choice.

 

[Rougvie]

I've always been a bit of an Indie man.

Although not entirely new, The Beginning stages of The Polyphonic Spree is almost worn out on the car CD at the moment

 

[Marc]

If you like old punk then I recommend the following decent/recent punk albums:

Band - Album:

1208 - Turn Of The Screw
Pulley - Matters (out 6th April but already got it and amazing)
Strung Out - An American Paradox
Pennywise - From The Ashes
NOFX - War On Errorism

 

[Raphael Meade]

the ordinary boys, 13 senses or chikinki...

all superb with new stuff at now or recently..

kings of leon, nuff said

White Stripes and strokes. have to be done

 

[Soton Seagull]

The Strokes, Jet, Muse, White Stripes, Supergrass - should keep you busy to begin with.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Or if you fancy something which is by a guy with Punk origins and blends it with reggae, ska, latin and just about everything else - try Manu Chao (or Manu Negra for his eary punk stuff).

I never thought I'd listen to music by a Frenchman til I heard this!

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

The new ministry of sound trance album

manu chao is su-BLOODY-perb

 

[Vinyl Richie]

Alistair Griffin - Bring it on
David Sneddon - can't remember his album but check out his neat website www.davidsneddon.com (NOTE IS NOT OFFICE FRIENDLY...I won't make that mistake again)

or more seriously get the strokes albums as they are the bollocks. Plus the albums are cheap like the budgie

 

[graz126]

never heard of manu chao b4 but have just downloaded trapped by love and bongo bong by him both sound good

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'd get the Tv On The Radio album.
Also, keep an ear out for debut albums from Adem and also from The Archie Bronson Outfit.

 

[Albion Edd]

Jet- Get born and The libertines - Up the bracket both superb albums

 

[Hilton]

Jet, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Scissor Sisters and Von Bondies.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Don't think Manu Chao was in Manu Negra but similar styles of music. He would've been to young (but I might be wrong) and I thought he was Spanish (but I may be wrong) who cares

Manu Chao - Proximo Estacion Esperanza

 

[Jesus Gul]

Manu Chao's album 'Proximo Estacion Esperanza' is Spanish for 'Next Station Hope', which is pretty ironic after what's happened in Madrid!!!

 

[Birdy]

Libertines & Muse - both fantastic live

 

[kalinski]

i would go for N*E*R*D, Zero7, Goldfrapp, roni size i could just go on and on in a very dull way!
