Well, as you know by now, 20 Jazz Funk Greats is basically essential. Journey Through a Body's probably my favourite album of theirs all-round though.

Adding onto the Stravinsky recommendation, find yourself a good performance of The Rite of Spring. The entirety of it may very well change your life if you hear it through the right medium. Generally, all of the ones I've heard where it's conducted by Boulez or Bernstein seem to be great, particularly Bernstein's 2004 rendition with the London Symphony Orchestra & New York Philharmonic. Said version also comes with The Firebird, so that's a plus.

edit: Or perhaps just him conducting himself.

Les Noces. I'm sure you'll very much deeply enjoy it.

If anyone could recommend me some hard rock/heavy metal (or even glam metal!) music from the 70s/80s, I'd appreciate it a lot!

For hard rock sounds, something along the lines of Def Leppard or Aerosmith would be cool; for glam metal, Cinderella, Autograph or Poison... I dunno, anything's fine, I just need new stuff to listen to. 8D

Hey all!

Okay, suppose you wanted to make a mix tape for a road trip down the California Coast.

Consider the following song as your model: Yo La Tengo - Today is the Day.

Acoustic, slow, downbeat, very very very calm. As calm as possible. Sentimental. Lyrics-oriented. Guitars. Quiet. Indie is good.

Can you recommend a few songs like this? I need to make a 12-15 song mix CD. I want her to love it.

Other songs to give you direction: The XX - VCR. Damien Rice - Volcano.

People she generally likes (but ideally few or very obscure songs from these people): Bonnie Prince Billy, Yo La Tengo, Sufjan Stevens, The XX, Damien Rice, Jose Gonzalez, Neutral Milk Hotel, Wilco, Sun Kill Moon, Bright Eyes, etc.

Who here can recommend me something that sounds Pink Floyd-ish. You know, pretty mellow slow soothing songs, preferably calm soft vocals or no vocals at all. Something that would calm me down and just relax to. Anything is welcome, I will give all recommendations a listen.

I don't know about Pink Floyd-ish, but give these songs a try.

Road Trippin'
The Zephyr Song
Hard to Concentrate

All by Red Hot Chili Peppers, but the funkyness keep my calm as well as energetic.

I don't think Post Rock is boring at all.... I find it quite invigorating, and it allows my head to go into all the imaginative places i want it to, often (depending on the band) without lyrics to guide it there...

I'm looking for rock music that has a transcendental or dreamlike quality but is edgier and more grounded in rock than, say, shoegaze. Maybe a bit melancholic.

A few start-off points:
The Wrens - Everyone Choose Sides
Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia
Reckoning-era REM
Guided by Voices - Weedking
U2 - Bad
The Walkmen - Wake Up
Talk Talk - Ascension Day
Mew - Wherever
