I deleted every song I had in my iTunes (around 20gigs or so) and borrowed a bunch of CDs from friends and relatives to rebuild my library. Among those I picked up The Smiths, Ministry, Modest Mouse, Skindred and The Chemical Brothers. Yes, I am aware that The Smiths and Ministry (example) don't exactly "match up" as bands the same person listens to, but I think that no one should be tied down to one genre of music and that's the reason I deleted it in the first place.

So, anyone want to recommend me some music I should get into?

Psychobilly. Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Reverend Horton Heat, Tiger Army.

Psychobilly, like...The Meteors?

If you haven't heard of them, Orange Goblin aren't bad. I like their stuff up to the album The Big Black, after that their sound changed a bit and I'm not a fan of it. I'd say they're stoner rock/metal.

80's Matchbox is a good one, but I wouldn't really call them psychobilly.

Check out Zappa/Mothers, Porcupine Tree, Laghonia, Buena Vista Social Club, A Tribe Called Quest, etc..

Tom Waits, Devendra Banhart, Elvis Costello, Queens of the Stone Age, The White Stripes, Gogol Bordello, The Black Keys...try those.

Oingo Boingo
Devo
The Alan Parsons Project
Talking Heads
David Bowie
Captain Beefheart

I listen to The Alan Parsons Project and Talking Heads.

Hate Bowie and Devo.

Going to check out Captain Beefheart.

You hate Bowie?

Get the fuck out.

We're done with you.

A Tribe Called Quest

hell yeah.

linkin park, the offspring, rhcp

I hate anything to do with rockabilly almost as much as I hate anime.

And I hate anime almost as much as I hate north korea. Now, if you knew me, you would know how much I really hate North Korea.

But seriously, get everything by the Beatles. Every music library must have everything by the Beatles to be valid.

God damnit.

I don't understand how anyone can listen to the constant drone that is The Beatles, does anyone else agree with this?

Any linkin park sucks gigantic cock, shut the fuck up acolyte.

Jesus christ...

i dont like the beatles so much as i like john lennon. some good bands though id say minutemen, wu tang

Pantera, Interpol, Van Halen, The Cruel Sea, You Am I

Oh god, thank you.

Psychobilly, like...The Meteors?

Yes, sir, and The Living End.

Throw Dead Kennedys, Valient Thorr, and Yes in there.

Amon tobin, aphilas, backini

blue sky black death!!#$@^@

There is tons more, but that should get you started.

You all have shitty taste.

Beefheart wise,

Everyone talks about the album "Trout Mask Replica." It's a great album, but I also suggest "Strictly Personal" and "Safe as Milk," which are both great, just slightly less experimental.

Why the fuck would you delete all your music? There's no reason to 'rebuild' your music library, only to expand it; unless, for some reason, you had thousands of songs you hate stored on your computer.

Fixed.

Atmosphere
The Number Twelve Looks Like You
Explosions In The Sky
Sage Francis
Ed Gein
