Hey all .. I know this is the wrong section to be posting this, but I figured this is where the majority of most everyone on Y/A is .. I’ve already asked this question in the Music Section, but I doubt it’ll get that many answers .. And I’m pretty sure there’ll be some P&S’ers out there who listen to music that not so many others do ..
Sorry for the long a-s-s description below .. But here goes ..
I was hoping someone might be able to suggest artists/music/groups etc, who are different and who I do NOT normally listen to ..
I tend to listen to R n B (Mary J/Lauryn Hill/Keith Sweat etc) - Pop (Lady Gaga/Mariah Carey/Ronan Keating etc) - Rock (Guns n Roses/Eagles/Metallica*if they’re considered rock*) - Rap (Tupac/Biggie/Fifty etc) - Reggae (Bob Marley/Peter Tosh/Jimmy Cliff etc) - Movie Theme Music (Gladiator/Braveheart/Last of the Mohicans etc) ..
I guess .. I’d appreciate the help in finding more Movie Theme Music, and Classical Music as I’m loving Classical Music now .. I have Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Verdi, Chopin and Brahms etc .. But would like to expand to other artists who aren’t as big as the more famous composers, so if anyone has any suggestions for artists in this area that would be great, and also songs/name of music pieces as well ..
I’m not really that fussy (I just find it hard to ‘think outside the square’ sometimes) and I’ll listen to anything that has awesome beats/rhythm/flow and lyrics .. Though the lyrics I sometimes may not be interested in .. Instrumentals I think I’m looking for, or stuff that is totally the opposite to what I already listen to .. Artists who I’ve never heard of, songs you might think I’d never listen to .. Anything .. Just anything different .. Music/Artists/Songs/Groups that the majority of the worlds populace tends to forget, not have many followers or just not care for ..
Everything I usually listen to isn’t cutting it for me anymore .. I need that ‘change’ ..
Help Please ..
.. Cheers for the answers ..
.. I already have the Cranberries and Alanis .. And No Doubt ..
.. And Regina has a ‘funky’ very different voice, as well as music .. Thanks for that ..

Evenstar from Lord of the Rings is a great song. Alot of LOTR songs are good.

Wow - you have a great and diversified taste of music. For something fun, light and catchy try Billy Joe Royal, Jimmy Buffet and David Allan Coe. They have terrific talent & the bands behind their voices are amazing. Try to figure out what instruments they are playing!
