Its been a slow music year for me so far, what are you guys listening to?

I like Hip-Hop(the more undergroundish stuff, not so much main stream), alternative, post-rock and R&B and a bunch of other stuff, I will listen to anything but country.

Ive been listening to Gnarls Barkley and Vampire Weekend right now.

I'm listening Pereza, a rock & roll spaniard band.
Then I use to listen alternatice music, punk music (bad religion, rancid), black music (alicia keys, rihanna, lenny kravitz, sean paul).... i listen almost everything if it's good.

90s alternative. Makes me relax a little bit without my ears bleeding without all the screaming.

I like a lot of 90's punk type style like MXPX and Bad Religion. I've also sorta gotten into light metal like Bullet for my Valentine.

I love that new Alicia Keys CD...and while I dont listen to Rihanna ever she is hot...thats for sure.

Hey FJS I have question, is that what they call hip-hop/rap/r&b in europe? I only ask cuz my cousin who is in the czech took a picture of a bunch of music under the genre of black music. I found that funny that it wasnt listed as what genre it actually was.

I am listening to a lot of Post-Punk now, like Mission of Burma, Talking Heads and such. Just letting Pandora do it's thing until it starts giving me BS and I have to reload.

Jump on iTunes and Download a few "Slightly Stoopid" songs, you'll love em. something different, hip hip/punk/reggae/alternative rock. mixed with a lot of Marijuana and you've got a great band

Hip Hop - Have to go with Biggie, everything he ever made was classic. If you like "underground" hip-hop I am sure you know about Slug and Atmosphere, can't go wrong there either. RJD2 has some good music, Aesop Rock's latest album was cool.

New Wave - I listen to a lot of the Smiths/Morrissey and a ton of Joy Division.

Popular Music - As far as bands that get radio play I really like Modest Mouse, their first 5 albums are so are honestly pure genius, these last few are okay but nothing compared to their older stuff. Interpol might be my favorite band right now, they are simply great. Also check out Pinback, Built to Spill, and TV on the Radio if you want something a little different.

I absolutely love Atmosphere...Godlovesugly is one of my fav albums of all time. I really like Brother Ali out of that same label too. I picked up none shall pass, it was good, his other stuff is much better. I keep listening to my old Lupe, Immortal Technique, kanye...stuff like that.

I found this dude named Dizzee Rascal outta the UK whos cd was tight.

Biggie is great...Im more of a Pac guy though. Im more into that Bay area, chicago stuff:
blackalicious, gift of gab, lyrics born, the coup, pigeon john, Kanyes, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Rhymefest

and then some of the east coast classics like...Talib Kweli, The Roots, Mos Def

I dont know I got a weird taste in music...I listen to that kinda rap and then stuff like Rage, the shins, Radiohead, The Arcade Fire, Rooney, 311, Sublime.

thanks for the suggestions, I will check some of this stuff out.

Sheik, if you like vampire weekend much, I have a few other suggestions for you to check out...

Tokyo Police Club, The Teenagers, Cloud Cult, The Notwist, Les Savy Fav, The National.

As for the underground hip-hop scene, I can't help you much there. I like the occasional, like MF Doom, but I haven't gotten anything for like a year now. Pharoahe Monch is pretty good too. Check out his album from last year.

I will check those alt bands out, thanks man.

Yeah Doom and Pharoahe Monch are raw...I got desire last yr and Mmm...Food is a classic, so are his collabos with Danger Mouse and Madlib.

Yeah, if you are a fan of adult swim, danger mouse is awesome.

I'm with Batron on Pinback and and Modest Mouse, The Sheik on radiohead and some of you others on underground hip-hop, but strictly underground. Groups like subtle.

But mostly i'm into alot of progressive/independent music, i.e. The Mars Volta, Between the Buried and Me, Thrice, The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Also Muse, Botch, Johnny Cash, Kansas, Keith Urban, some Dreamtheater...a whole array of crap.

Thats a good list. I love the Mars Volta's new album.

I went through a Mars Volta stage. They really rock, but they are such a wall of sound that I get fatigued pretty quickly listening to them. Pretty good stuff though, if you like more prog rock stuff.

If you want maybe the most melodic music you will ever here in your life check out Sigur Ros. Those guys rule.

DEFINITELY not for everyone though. I never really got into them much...
