I'm getting old- name me some good new music

[Combat Ingrid]

Here you go

White Stripe is popular, but I'm unfamiliar.
I like Coldplay.

www.artistdirect.com is a very good site.

Diss, take it from another old man, there isn't any good new music. All there is are good new marketing concepts

AC/DC Let There Be Rock

now there's an album....

I hate metal, nu-metal, and most post-punk. Just noise where as most indie rock is pretty damn good to listen to plus it doesn't hurt your ears and has artistic talent.

Norah Jones is really good.
"Come Away With Me" is flat out beautiful.

I agree totally, but it is not exactly "new music"

You would like Coldplay, I think, Hueij.
I was some surprised. I'd given up.

Where I work I'm the oldest one there. The kids always have the radio on, always the same "let's play what the kids need to buy" station and Coldplay is one of the bands that comes along every hour. I can't say I'm impressed...

Another worrying trend I noticed is that producers take an old time favourite of mine and turn it into something... something... well, something something (I shot my baby down, California Dreamin') and turn it into a hit! We live in dark times...

On a happier note, all the times I went to the Lowlands festival I managed to miss all the "great" bands (White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver to name a few) and see all the "small" bands that will never be big, like Calexico.

But this year I'm definitely going to see the Pixies!

And in 1 1/2 week I'm going to see Elvis Costello! For the first time in 23 years! Life is good

if coldplay is all you can recommend, then I'll stick with being old.

I'm listening to the white stripes right now. Only because I got them in my head because the other thread. One of the few new bands I like (and I only like a few of their songs).

I'll stick with 80's and 90's music I think. Just last month I was listening to one of my old bootleg audiocassettes. It was of a metal massacre album (compilation album). I haven't heard it in so long, it's like hearing new music . I really like some of that underground stuff.

I didn't know you were gay. Good for you on coming out.

Gorillaz have a new CD out. I only heard one song, but it was good. I loved their first CD. It was very eclectic, but had great hooks, lyrics and melodies.

[Provost Harrison]

Coldplay? Gorillaz? Don't be utterly ridiculous
