StreetlightRock 10.28.08	Ugh, some of you have absolutely no pop sensibility at all. Radiohead - The Bends Damien Rice - O Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb Say Anything - ...Is A Real Boy Brand New - Deja Entendu Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights The National - Boxer Are all good starting points.
Masochist 10.28.08	Hmmm...anything on the radio? Try these alternatives to genres on the radio: Pop: Rachel Loy, old Alanis M., Deana Carter Pop-Punk: Say Anything, Mayday Parade, Blink-182 Mainstream Rap: Pharoahe Monch, Outkast, Eminem (the older, the better), almost any 90's hip-hop...but I doubt she listens to radio rap for its relevancy... Radio Rock: 10 Years, Radiohead, Muse, 90's stuff (Oasis, Third Eye Blind, etc.) Harder Radio Rock: Disturbed, Deftones, A Perfect Circle or Tool, System of a Down Alternative Country: Clark Country, Nickel Creek, Deana Carter (again) General good music: Fair To Midland, Arcade Fire, Thrice, Brand New, Bright Eyes, Gnarls Barkley, mewithout You
Captain North 10.28.08	^You realise half the shit you mentioned is the stuff she'll already be listening to? Stuff he mentioned that she might not have heard and are worth checking out because they're vaguely accessible - the harder rock stuff apart from Disturbed (although Deftones could take some getting used to...same to Tool). And everything he mentioned in general good music.
Masochist 10.28.08	Perhaps she does, but he said she listens to "shitty" mainstream stuff, and those artists are ones that I don't find too shitty...so if she's listening to that stuff already, it's a good starting point to get into even better music. Also...I recommended pop-punk and still forgot some of my favorites, namely Mae, Anberlin, Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, Days Away and such. Got one more artist, too: Johnny Cash. Every single person in the world should be able to get down on some Cash.
rasputin 10.28.08	Worship - Dooom
Granfalloon 10.28.08	thx for all the help.. all good suggestions (even Arcturus?), but based on our collective tastes- i think i'll go somethin like... NMH Arcade Fire Radiohead Mt. Goats Elliott Smith Brand New The National Say Anything and maybe some Anberlin or Jimy Eat World
BallsToTheWall 10.28.08	There's nothing like some quality thought provoking avant garde to light up your day to be honest. Thrice, Eyes Set To Kill, Stars, 1997 for more realistic indie/pop bands that need to be heard. 3 Inches Of Blood too.
JumpTheFkUp** 10.28.08	Brand New
Golgoroth 10.28.08	Definitely agree with Deja Entendu. And if it's not too weird; Brother, Sister by mewithoutYou. I've showed them to some really mainstream people who actually really liked them.
