Tunes to top up my iPod

[Staresy]

Ok, I am looking for some tunes to fill up my iPod.

I generally like stuff like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden etc

Any tips?

Get every song from Bloc Party's album, Silent Alarm.

Crazy good band.

[Muxy]

I love pearl jam. FWIW.

.muxy'

[drmcboy]

grundge much? Hmm.

Radiohead & Tool are my favorites, I recommend them to everyone.

Wilco - Being there, either of the two more recents are all great

The White stripes.

The new Ben Folds album - Songs for Silverman - has been treating the wife and I really well.

Have you heard Ben Harper - try one of his first albums, Welcome to the cruel world or Fight for your mind

Softer folky stuff - Amos Lee, Ray Lamongtange, Damien Rice

Morphine

Matthew Sweet - start with Girlfriend, go from there.

I'm assuming you either don't like or just didn't mention the pumpkins, plenty of pod filler there. Also Jane's addiction

[TylerK]

Steal I mean purchase the new System of a Down.

[drmcboy]

I recommend a preview before buying SOAD... I dunno, to me it sounds like weird Al doing SOAD. I'm not a huge fan or anything, I may not get it. Enjoyed the album before this until it got overplayed, this one...

[NewJack33]

may i suggest some Bloc Party?

thanks! I like the limited stuff I've heard from Ben Folds Five. Ben Harper also seems to have done lots of stuff w/ Pearl Jam from what I can make of these naughty file sharing programs , so that's got potential

audioslave!

FOKOFPOLISIEKAR

Just a shame you wouldnt understand the lyrics

How about Boxcar Racer, Blink 182 and Dashboard Confessional?

[Grand_MasterB]

Our Lady Peace!

Awesome live band.... Kinda bridges the gap between 90's grundge and todays alternative rock.

[ZenOffsuit]

If you plan on playing poker with the iPod during a tournament, what would you play? I would change music for each level. I have never and will probably never actually put on my iPod during an onland tourney but if I did....

Early:

Indian Classical Music: Ustad Shahid Parvez (I study the sitar and this is the best player ever!! This music is relaxing and meditative so it will keep me chilled out early on and help me focus)

Middle:

Tool or Alice In Chains: Time to kick it up a notch! Ready to switch gears

Bubble:

I am reaching into my Black Metal collection because it is all about being pure evil at this point

Cradle of Filth
Dimmu Borgir

pixies seems like an obvious rec ... surprised no one else threw it in.

surfer rosa is their best album.

[journey075]

here are some groups:

the stills
the killers
the raveonettes
weezer (pinkerton is best but their new album has potential)
coldplay (all albums)
bloc party (of course)
beck (guero) if you care for it
kasabian
the exit (back to the rebels in particular)

i have 6k songs on my ipod so if you need any decent recs let me know.

I think I listened to Kasabian's tune L.S.F. about 20 times in a row one day...killer tune!

Another great band that flies under the radar and is way overdue for another CD is Deadsy.

mmm... surfer ...

Might be their best, but Doolittle is the one that seems to make its way into my player most frequently.

A few more albums to consider:

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Oasis - What's the Story (Morning Glory)?
Oasis - Don't Believe The Truth

DO NOT get Oasis - Be Here Now, it is crap compared to the above three.

Foo Fighters - One By One

[Legendash]

You need Sing the sorrow and lost art of drowning by A.F.I.

Relationship of command by At The Drive In

B.R.M.C. by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

The Real Thing and Album of the Year by Faith No More

Every Kyuss album, especially sky valley

[Knytestorme]

Disturbed
Slipknot
early Metallica (in your case at least)
Iron Maiden
Killswitch Engage
Murderdolls
New York Dolls
M.I. 5
Black Flag
Suicidal Tendencies
Rob (and White) Zombie

John 5's solo album

and definatly try to track down some Def FX (think they were released as Definition Function X in the US due to No F/X) especially the albums Ritual Eternal or Baptism
