Yes! I like this, it sounds like James Brown to me, which is good. Thanks.

[QUOTE=Jody LeCompte;16046565]Sublime, Reel Big Fish, Damien Marley, Mighty Mighty Bosstones.[/QUOTE]
These groups don't sound anything like The Aggrolites. :confused:

The Aggrolites are the punk-reggae band aren't they?

If so, I do believe your ears are broken.

They're a traditional reggae band with some funk and soul elements. They're not punk in even the slightest way. I'm not looking for reggae music though, I'm looking for anything funk or related to it that sounds something like the particular song I posted.

I've just discovered Black Talk by Charles Earland which is similar in a way... you might dig. Check rep.

I can see how this is similar. It's good. Thanks!

Hey, i listen to a lot of almost anything, but at the moment, i'm specifically after jazz with an avant-garde twist and a really dark feel. I haven't come across anything like this, so i can't really give too many examples....but here are some tracks that are the closest i can think of....

ulver-lost in moments
Frank Zappa-G spot tornado
Massive attack-Sly
Kayo dot (most works)
Mr. bungle-Platypus

I realise this doesn't really narrow it down.....I kinda want something with a Sunn 0)))) feel (very ominous/dark) but done in a jazz context of some sort, any help appreciated:) thanks.

[QUOTE=AfroMan;3705251]Ok well in the Jazz/Funk forums - all we get is "What's some good Funk" or "Recommend me Jazz" all the time and it just feels like your repeating yourself everyday.

Well to make sure this doesn't happen again - I have made this thread so that everyone can post their favourite funk/Jazz artists followed by songs that you would recommend. Also feel free to put in as much extra info on the artist as you wish eg. recommended albums, bio, why you like the artist, if you like this artist you'll probably like.....etc etc. Also state what genre the artist fits into.

Ok i'll start -

[SIZE=4][U][B]James Brown[/B][/U][/SIZE]

[B]Recommended songs -[/B]
Sex Machine
Papa's got a brand new bag

etc etc

Feel free to put in as many recommendations as you want.

when i will be allowed to post in this section????

[QUOTE=CroWnedbaLLers;16995517]when i will be allowed to post in this section????[/QUOTE]

Jazz/funk has been merged into Other music.

So you are posting in the appropriate section.

[QUOTE=ridethelib;16929521]Can you guys point me in the direction of some jazz fusion that is heavy on rad guitar work?[/QUOTE]

Return to Forever - The Romantic Warrior
Any of the first few Mahavishnu Orchestra albums.
Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow and Wired

Some of my favorites.

I know practically nothing about electronic music, so I'd like some music similar to Aphex Twin's Ambient works.

Great funk band
 

:chug:Hey, I was suring the old Myspace the other day--I found this really great funk band out of Toronto, Canada. They're called The Disease. I just bought their CD Patient 26185---great disco funk sound. So if your into that--check them out: www.myspace.com/drpayneandthedisease

Other great artists:
Mr. Sumthing Sumthing
God Made Me Funky

ENJOY!!!

[QUOTE=Anthracks;17158634]I know practically nothing about electronic music, so I'd like some music similar to Aphex Twin's Ambient works.[/QUOTE]

a little different but check out boards of canada's newest album "campfire headphase" for some spacey electronic ****

I really like Keaton Simons, he's like John Mayer. He's going on a summer tour so I can't wait to see him and hopefully meet him.

[QUOTE=ridethelib;16929521]Can you guys point me in the direction of some jazz fusion that is heavy on rad guitar work?[/QUOTE]

Pat Metheney.

Can anyone recommend me some bands that sound like Yngwie Malmsteen?

[QUOTE=Anthracks;17158634]I know practically nothing about electronic music, so I'd like some music similar to Aphex Twin's Ambient works.[/QUOTE]

Check out BTone23. Heres their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/btone23

Dont really know what to compare them to...there are ambient moments (nothing like stone in focus though) but they usually flow into something else. Youd probably enjoy Royksopp as well, specifically melody in the a.m., its better than their new stuff. Either way, hope you enjoy.

completely ignored me you ***

[QUOTE=sonictheplumber;17301200]Can anyone recommend me some bands that sound like Yngwie Malmsteen?[/QUOTE]

Well, Ygwie is a virtuoso. But, Dragonforce, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Galloglass, Freedom Call, Dream Evil, Avantasia, Luca Turilli, Stratovarius, Rhapsody, Edguy, Evergrey, Gamma Ray, Symphony X or Demons and Wizards.

If you want truly epic metal, get a copy of [Secret of the Runes] by Therion.

lol

Recomended artist- Davinche

Jazz Vocalists
 

[B][COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Jazz Vocalists[/COLOR][/B]

Rachel Lauren
Kurt Elling
Etta James
Ella Fitzgerald
Sarah Vaughan
Anita O'Day
Chet Baker
Betty Carter
Nancy Wilson

Can anyone hit me up with some recs for ambient/drone-esque jazz such as The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation?

[QUOTE=magicbus;17000793]Return to Forever - The Romantic Warrior

In addition to the Mahavishnu stuff, John McLaughlin really shines on an album he did with Carlos Santana called Love Devotion Surrender. Check it out.

My mistake was a mistake, I posted a rec thread outside of the rec thread....fail.


Anyone got anything psychedelic to recommend?
