I've listened to a bit of Muse, and I'm not a huge fan. Never heard of the other two, so I'll go have a listen.

Thanks!!!

I know I am probably one of the most biased people towards this band, but if you like all of the bands you listed, you should like the Church - pretty much from any era of their lengthy career!

How about the band "The tea Party"... the n you can have irnoy, fun and good music, and sit and wait and see who makes the connection first....

Well i have been looking for some instrumental music to the style of acoustic guitar or even better, the red hot chili peppers kind of music like californication (or something very similar to this song but as an instrumental)
is there any music out like this that anybody can recommend?

Are there any good bands similar to pennywise out there?

Is there any bands out there that play metallica style guitar but as an instrumental band?

Have you heard Apocalyptica? It's not guitar, it's cello believe it or not. But they play lots of Metallica and other heavy metal stuff. If your just looking for some great guitar playing, what about Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa, or Yngwee Malmsteen?

I love Cake, and I'm a fan of Wilco. I'll have to check out the Flobots.

Thanks!!!

I'm looking for a song with a topic like "together we can do it", one that deals with friendship and realising one's dreams.

The style doesn't really matter but it would be great if it would start calm and then get more and more vivid (MAYBE even a bit ... heroic)

Thx

(sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes... I'm Austrian ;P)

Not sure this completely fills the requirements but it was the first song that popped into my head:

Apoptygma Berzerk - In This Together

First of all, I'm new to this forum, so hi all! I'm a 17 (almost 18) year old boy living in Belgium and I joined this forum to ask you and myself what my music taste is. (is that a correct word in the English language?).

I'm a huge movie fan, but my music taste is...undeveloped let's say. I always listened to movie soundtracks because it has a connection with my hobby, but for the rest of it I did not searched what sort of artists or bands I liked. It is just recently that I became interested in music. Too bad it's very hard to just "jump in" the world of music. I have absolutely no idea what my kind of genre is and I have no knowledge about artists/bands.

That's where you guys come in. I recently discovered some artists with a great voice, lyrics and rhythm in my opinion. Because you guys know a lot about music (at least a few guys here), you could help me finding new artists.

I like:

-Bob Dylan ( Almost all his songs. Every single song of the Highway 61 revisited album is amazing imo.)

-Bruce Springsteen (Atlantic City, Nebraska and the Born In the USA cd)

- Buffalo Springfield (For what it's worth)

- Bob Marley (his classics)

- Neil Young ( a few)

- Simon and Garfunkel ( a few)

I like:

- A good rhythm. Don't has to be "simple", but I don't like Tom Waits songs. They are like lots and lots of words said after each other, but there is no structure in the song.

- A deep, manly voice like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springfield.

- Good lyrics, with a political message (but that's not necessary). I appreciate it when the artist write/wrote his own songs.

- Don't overdo it. I dislike Queen because everything is so bombastic and they don't stopp yelling. A guitar, a good voice, superb lyrics and maybe a little band if that's necessary is good enough for me.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

-Boegie
