11.17.10 | yay for album art bump...I'm probably giving him 50 albums so rec away. |
climactic
11.17.10 | How old is he |
taxidermist
11.17.10 | How old is he [2] |
eternium
11.17.10 | Age would be nice.
Brand New would be good. Also Thrice, possibly Deftones, maybe Tool, and perhaps Led Zeppelin and other classics. |
Ovrot
11.17.10 | Scatman John - Everybody Jam!
Seriously |
couldwinarabbit
11.17.10 | 12
also I'm not giving him bad music so nothing like tool, dt, deftones etc. |
couldwinarabbit
11.17.10 | no offense though. Thrice is actually a good rec. |

11.17.10 | NOT 4, bad idea |
Sowing
11.17.10 | opeth? |
Yotimi
11.17.10 | Say Anything - ...Is A Real Boy |
americanmusicmachine
11.17.10 | "catch for us the foxes" by mewithoutyou and
"in our bedroom after the war" by stars
got me into music (that wasn't christian metalcore or radio rock) |
taxidermist
11.17.10 | Get him into metalcore ;) |
SeaAnemone
11.17.10 | probably nothing too obscure or indie... that shit might be cool to know about when you're 18 but I doubt 12 year-old (other than Bitchfork) is gonna go "hey no one's heard of that, I want to listen to it!"... so I recommend you stick to the quality classic / mainstream stuff before trying to get him to branch out a little. |
wyankeif1337
11.17.10 | Masturbate in Praise of Black Satan - Apator
Impaled Northern Moonforest - Impaled Northern Moonforest
Torsofuck - Erotic Diarrhea Fantasy

your little bro will love you forever |
Ovrot
11.17.10 | King Crimson - In The Court and Red,
Also Rush.
Lots of Rush |
Blackbelt54
11.17.10 | start with music that's kinda good and accessible, then build him up. if you hear the best first, then everything else will dissapoint |
Yotimi
11.17.10 | Also Weezer - Blue Album |
SeaAnemone
11.17.10 | that being said... these are the albums that got me into music, maybe they'll help:
The Strokes - Room On Fire
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (and their others)
Minus the Bear - Menos El Oso (and their others)
Jets to Brazil - Perfecting Loneliness
Brand New - Deja Entendu
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
try those? |
Yordy
11.17.10 | Wilco, Circa Survive, Red Hot Chili Peppers, maybe Dinosaur Jr? |
taxidermist
11.17.10 | Muse! |
Enotron
11.17.10 | deja might be a bit too intense
maybe some american football?
some pop-punk like saves the day, blink etcetera
uhhh |
couldwinarabbit
11.17.10 | @Yotimi Blue Album is a great idea.
@Sea thanks
@Blackbelt I think most of us listened to stuff like Radiohead WAY too early in our lives/ music development. I want him to like the 4/5 stuff first so Radiohead can completely and utterly bllow him away.
keep the recs coming. However my dad drilled every classic rock album (well good one) into his/my head by the time we were 3 so those, while welcomed are not that useful to me. |
Bitchfork
11.17.10 | When I was twelve and was getting into "good" music I thought Braid was the coolest thing ever. Give him some Thursday and some The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Some Fleet Foxes would probably work really well. Neutral Milk Hotel would, too. Brand New, definitely. Say Anything will work nicely, too. Um... try some American Football and some Piebald and some This Time We Will Not Promise and Forgive. Planet of Ice... Foals. Definitely some Foals. I want to know someone who has Total Life Forever as something nostalgic. Some Ra Ra Riot, too. It's weird imagining this having been me about 2 years ago (btw guys only 8 days left until my birfday we need a new 13 yr old) |
Ovrot
11.17.10 | Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow |
Yordy
11.17.10 | Damiera- M(US)ic |
Irving
11.17.10 | Dude, try for some U2. Start simple - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb simple, for example. |
Bitchfork
11.17.10 | yeah but that sucks so why would he want to rec it? |
Yordy
11.17.10 | You going for mostly mainstream-ish stuff? How about anything with harsher vocals, even if it's just a little? |
Bitchfork
11.17.10 | Angsty post-hardcore/indie with yelling is going to make him cum in his pants trust me on this one this for me was 2 years ago. |
Ovrot
11.17.10 | Buckethead - Colma
Buckethead - Electric Tears
Everyone needs some of the bucket |
Yordy
11.17.10 | Well in that case, La Dispute should do the trick. I don't see him really liking that though.
@Bitchfork |
igloodude
11.17.10 | Yeah, I think Fleet Foxes would work nicely. Maybe try some Grizzly Bear, too. |
Emim
11.17.10 | Metallica might be a good start for the metal side of life. |
igloodude
11.17.10 | ^ This is true. |

11.17.10 | "torture garden" by naked city |
Bitchfork
11.17.10 | ""torture garden" by naked city" I listened to that back when I was twelve so it could be cool. Show him Funny Games though beforehand he won't get it unless you do that.
"Well in that case, La Dispute should do the trick. I don't see him really liking that though. @Bitchfork"
La Dispute sucks just give him simple post-hardcore with no strings attached. Like Pianos Become the Teeth. That genre is what got me into emo and we need more emo fans. |
Enotron
11.17.10 | bitchfork you would be an awful parent |
Bitchfork
11.17.10 | I don't plan on having children. |
americanmusicmachine
11.17.10 | my god I'm not sure what would happen if my 12 yr old self listened to torture garden. I probably would have gotten into the s&m scene earlier. |

klap
11.17.10 | elliott smith - figure 8 |
couldwinarabbit
11.17.10 | I don't really want to make him depressed |
klap
11.17.10 | figure 8 was like the first album i listened to after the beatles when i was about 11-12 and i didn't really notice the lyrical themes, the music is just fucking awesome especially if he likes the beatles. plus figure 8 is not that depressing |
klap
11.17.10 | relative to his earlier, acoustic shit which i didnt listen to until high school |
Bitchfork
11.17.10 | why not me |

11.17.10 | Dude, realistically Grizzly Bear is probably too boring for a 12 year old.
Throw some Florence and the Machine at him. |
dreamobile
11.17.10 | does it have to be rock? how about some Daft Punk, Beastie Boys, Ratatat, LCD Soundsystem, The Roots? or I was really into ska/punk when I was younger, maybe he would like Streetlight Manifesto or the Descendents. |
McCopper
11.17.10 | Don't get him into stuff he will grow out of.It's better to save things like black metal and indie for his later teenage years.
Get him some blues, some classic rock some stuff to build foundations.
Or get him soem Chopin. |
McCopper
11.17.10 | Or slipknot.Kids dig slipknot and before you know it, he's into extreme metal. |
