It's time for me to expand on my itunes, and increase the amount of music I listen to.

I listen to music everyday, but it's mostly pop, some rock, plus a little of everything else.
Anyways, please suggest some songs for me to try out, but don't post Youtube links please >_>
Anything is welcome, i'm willing to try it.
But try to suggest specific songs please, not a band or an artist.

The only way to listen to music is album to album. Genres are fucked, so the only way to accurately describe a band is by comparing it to another band, or by comparing it to an album from some other band. "Indie" doesn't mean anything anymore, "hip-hop" circa 2011 isn't anywhere close to what hip-hop was supposed to be, and "rock" really doesn't pertain to anything.

I think it's time to introduce you to some unclassifiable music.
Could be "punk" (which is another worthless term), could be "post-punk". Certainly experimental, and certainly awesome.

Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation

Prepare for some noise and some great songs.

Thanks Monk, I've tried it, and it's not bad, but I don't think I can truly appreciate it.
I mean, I don't get what's good about it... I'm not crazy about the melody, nor the vocals, or anything else for that matter.
It's not bad, but that's it's, not bad. I'm sorry but I just don't really get this type of music D:
I guess what I wanna know is, why do you like it? What causes you to listen to this band?

Just the fact that these musicians are so good at what they do, they threw away the rules of music and just came out with raw emotion. Also, because it's a highly influential band/album in the type of music I like listening to.

@taxi: Thanks! I've listened to them, and I'll say I like the Digitalism album.
Screamadelica's not bad either~ :D

@Monk34: I see. I... don't actually have anything else to say. But i'll reply just to be polite *Nods politely* :P

okay! so if you like that genre more than others try getting some… um, Daft Punk albums!

in this order:
Discovery
Human after all
Alive 2007
Homework

:P

also: WATCH THE FUCKING INTERSTELLA5555!!! Ò_Ó it's a sort of representation of the album Discovery made in anime-style, and it's a-fucking-must.
