Dedes: Best recs:non-metal edition

butcherboy 07.09.17	The Fall - Live at the Witch Trials Richard Hell - Blank Generation Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power nice to see ya branching out, dedes..
Alastor 07.09.17	Arvo Pärt - Tabula Rasa /a great entry point into modern classical music. Beatles+Beach Boys /obvious rec, but you can't understand pop music without them. Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand /Great lo-fi aesthetics, reminiscent of the DIY aspect of some BM. Camel - Mirage /Best album ever. Death in June - But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter? /if you like Agalloch you should dig this and a lot of other neofolk albums.
Dedes 07.09.17	I fucking adore Agalloch haha, also i really need to get on Mirage. I heard one track from it and I was psyched out but it was good.
Trailmix 07.09.17	Cheers for the non-metal recs @kingdedethefifth, as a metal fan for as long as I remember, I feel like I need to branch off into some other genres as well.
Alastor 07.09.17	Agalloch quoted DiJ as a direct influence on The Mantle, which is quite obvious once you listen to them. Other essential neofolk records (really not that many imho): Sol Invictus - Lex Talionis Current 93 - Thunder Perfect Mind Current 93 - All The Pretty Little Horses Rome - Masse Mensch Material Tenhi - Kauan
Dedes 07.09.17	I've heard some good things about Sol Invictus, also i'm jamming Mirage now and it's so eclectic and diverse and wonderfully weird. It rules.
tempest-- 07.09.17	kimbra - vows
Thalassic 07.09.17	While metal/heavy hard rock definitely is the style I spend the most time with these days, I still regularly go back to the music I grew up with: old school hip hop (Wu Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Nas, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Notorious BIG), progressive rock (Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Camel, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Porcupine Tree, The Moody Blues), classic hard rock (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy), blues/southern rock (Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughan...) as well as other classic rock (Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, The Doors), Neil Young, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Swans, the more commercially-inclined grunge of Nirvana, Pearl Jam and later Soundgarden...some jazz (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk), blues, folk, rock 'n roll (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley...), Frank Sinatra...as well as soul and Motown stuff. I've tried getting into genres like indie rock, punk rock, post-hardcore...but those just aren't doing it for me. It's good to switch things up from time to time
Dedes 07.09.17	Interestingly enough before I was truly into any extreme metal I was actually much more into post-hardcore and punk, like Touche Amore, La Dispute, Defeater, etc.
AlexKzillion 07.09.17	Best non-metal recs? Non-metal 5s incoming Danny Brown - XXX Death Grips - The Money Store GZA - Liquid Swords Hella - Hold Your Horse Is Kanye West - MBDTF/Yeezus Kendrick Lamar - TPAB/DAMN. Lorde - Pure Heroine OutKast - Aquemini Radiohead - In Rainbows
Thalassic 07.09.17	"Interestingly enough before I was truly into any extreme metal I was actually much more into post-hardcore and punk, like Touche Amore, La Dispute, Defeater, etc." I gave those genres a shot, but I just couldn't get into them. I wouldn't call it "bad music" either, it's just not my thing - though I do love me some old school hardcore punk (Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Black Flag, DRI, Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, old COC, Suicidal Tendencies...) Back in high school I do remember a lot of people my age being into post-hardcore and punk rock, but I was always more into old school hip hop (mostly influenced by my social circle, who were all listening to the East Coast rap stuff) and classic rock (including prog rock and blues rock - influenced by my dad, who's a blues musician)
Thalassic 07.09.17	double post
Relinquished 07.09.17	some electronic boards of canada - music has the right to children aphex twin - select ambient works 85-92 autechre - amber / oversteps bjork - homogenic amon tobin - out from out where prefuse 73 - surrounded by silence flying lotus - until the quiet comes / cosmogramma
bgillesp 07.09.17	Typhoon (USA-OR)- White Lighter, but also everything else they do
Dedes 07.09.17	Electronic is certainly going to be a weird, haven't heard a single electronic album in my life.
Relinquished 07.09.17	well... have fun? start with aphex twin in that case
Thalassic 07.09.17	Not the biggest electronic fan either, but Boards of Canada and Autechre are a good
Frivolous 07.09.17	The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2 Talking Heads - Remain in Light Tom Waits - Rain Dogs Battles - Mirrored
Joeman82 07.09.17	Jimmy Eat World - Clarity The Mars Volta - Deloused... or Frances the Mute Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights Icarus the Owl - Love Always Leviathan Cap'n Jazz - Shmap'n Shmazz Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly or Good Kid Radiohead - OK Computer or Kid A Toe - The Book About My... Tried to avoid punk and post-hardcore on this list (Icarus really isn't PHC even though that's what they're tagged), but if you want some I'd be glad to oblige
AsleepInTheBack 07.09.17	You've got enough recs to last a good long time, but I'll just add: The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2 [2]. Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb. Both a probably a ways out of your comfort zone if you're somewhat of an exclusive metalhead, but jam both regardless, class albums. Edit: shit, you have the Streetlight rec 5d, my bad haha. Just jam the former then
Dedes 07.10.17	Hah yeah, for a very brief time I was sort of into Ska and Streetlight Manifesto was the only one of them that never really left me.

Snowdog808 07.10.17	John Coltrane - A Love Supreme [2], Ascension, Meditations, and Giant Steps Mahavishnu Orchestra- The Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire Return to Forever- Romantic Warrior Miles Davis- Bitches Brew, Milesstones, and Kind of Blue Art Blakey- Moanin' Ornette Coleman- The Shape of Jazz to Come The Quintet- Jazz at Massey Hall Antonio Vivaldi- The Four Seasons (one of Randy Rhodes' favorites), Gustav Holst- The Planets (the basis of "Black Sabbath," "Hammerheart," and "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" alike.) Wagner- Ring Cycle JS Bach- Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Paganini- 24 Caprices (especially the 24th) Stravinsky- The Rite of Spring Schoenberg- A Survivor from Warsaw Beethoven- Symphonies 3, 5, and 9
Dedes 07.10.17	I listened to Bitches Brew and found it supremely boring. It was just such a ridiculously long series of wank imo
Idontevenlikemusic 07.10.17	Jazz in a nutt shell
Snowdog808 07.10.17	I understand why it can be found boring. It's not something the majority of people can actually appreciate or even begin to understand the structure of in one mere listen.
DominionMM1 07.10.17	townes van zandt- s/t
Dedes 07.10.17	With Bitches Brew, I don't think it's the case of "it's just too hard to get into" because where some see unparalleled complexity I see something that's completely unhinged and lacking structure, which might not bother some people.
Astral Abortis 07.11.17	A better Miles Davis album for beginners would be Kind of Blue. And it's an eternal classic.
Astral Abortis 07.11.17	As for jazz in general, you need some heavy dedication to really get into it because it's such a deep genre.
Snowdog808 07.13.17	[2]. Jazz, as well as most depth-filled genres, is not something that can be appreciated overnight.
