The MnR Recommendation Megathread

[delano]

hello! anyway i've always wanted to buy a record done from
before the 50's. Any suggestion? i've always like it kase esp.
when i hear it on war movies (40's). Actually right now,
my neighbor is playing old songs (girl singing opera-like/jazzy).
Sarap pakinggan :)

[Groucho]

Start with the songbooks of major American composers like Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, the Gershwins. Verve Records releases a compilation of their best songs sung by major jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Louis Armstrong, and even underrated singers like Ernestine Anderson, Morgana King and Margaret Whiting. These are the names of singers whose voices you heard in war movies.

In DON'T SAY A WORD, the "Dream A Little Dream" song sung by Brittany Murphy was revealed later on in the film as a song she heard as a kid. It was Ella Fitzgerald's version that is heard.

Woody Allen films usually feature these type of songs (though a bit Dixieland at times).

[tr|n|ty]

hmm how about songs by the Gershwins?

[delano]

hi Groucho, thanks for the Ella Fitzgerald recommendation. I just
downloaded her song 'Someone to watch over me'. I like it!
I wish my gf is here right now :) That's a killer track, nice mood-setting for.... :) dancing :)
Any more 'should-have' songs from her?

[Groucho]

To answer your question: "Everything!" (apologies from ALMOST FAMOUS).

Ella Fitzgerald was not called the First Lady of Song for nothing. Practically everything she recorded was magic, and to quote Mel Torme: (another great jazz singer who was Ella's contemporary, and who was responsible for the song "The Christmas Song".. you know .... "chestnuts roasting on an open fire..") "Ella never had a single dud record. Ever!"

That said, you can sample Ella's artistry via her records between 1949 and 1966 (said to be the peak of her vocal prowess). She has a lot of songbooks that paid tribute to the composers I mentioned in an earlier post. Highly recommended is her Cole Porter songbook where she sang famous songs like "I Get a Kick Out of You", "I've Got You Under My Skin" alongside some rarities like "Dream Dancing". But you can skirt all these songbooks and instead buy the single disc called: The Best of the Songbooks. Make sure its the Verve label that releases it. Other compilation album of hers take the tracks from her Pablo years (c. 1975 to the late 1980s) and her vocals may not be to your liking. Not that its bad, but the sheer perfection achieved in her earlier years cannot be surpassed, not even by her during her Pablo years. That "Best of" album I was recommending to you comes in various musical moods: there is the "Ballads: The Best of the Songbook" as well as the swingers. You can't go wrong with her. Also, the cover features a slender caricature of Ella -- which is not really accurate as she was on the rotund side during the years those songs were cut.

That disc contains very good renditions of songs very very hard to equal by any singer. She is that good.

If you can wait a bit, I can burn you a sampler from my Ella collection, but you will have to wait until early December 2001 for that as I am currently in between time zones and do not have the luxury of time for burning CDs.

In any case, good luck on your musical journeys!


Postscript: You can also try the vocal outputs of Saran Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Betty Carter, Anita O'Day and others to compare. Or you can just buy the albums of younger jazz neotraditionalists like Diana Krall, Cassandra Wilson, Stacy Kent, Diane Schuur and Dianne Reeves.

[extreme16199]

some suggestions:

Glenn Miller
Charlie Christian (get "The Genius of Electric Guitar" and check out the songs "Rose Room" and "Seven Come Eleven")
Benny Goodman
Edith Piaf
Duke Ellington

[purploony]

You could also cheat and buy film soundtracks with music like that, so you get a sampler of everything. One OST that I like which has a tiny bit of old music is The English Patient soundtrack. Try it.

And Ella Fitzgerald *is* a good choice. Try getting one of her "Best of..." albums from Tower's jazz section :)

[10thrainman]

hey don't forget miles davies and john coltrane! legendary instrumentalists!

[Awiyao]

Billie Holiday is the no. 1 choice. You can also try Screaming Jay Hawkins and Eddie Harris. These musicians are marked blues, pero okay silang pakinggan. It's like you're in a dimly lit pub, smoky, with cobwebs in every nook and then lots of beers. Hinde! That's just my weird imagination every time i listen to their songs.
:rolleyes:

[Awiyao]

Or better yet try mo rin si Nina Simone. her soothing deep voice is fantastic. yes, yes, she has that "guy" voce, like Tracy Chapman's. but she's a legend already. I mean she's still alive, living in France. but damn! her voice is so cool!
Check out "Sinnerman," "He Needs Me," "Don't Smoke in Bed," and of course "Black is the Color of my Skin."
Toll!

Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw

Pros:
-No vocals, all instrumental songs that convey emotions much more effectively and without taint
-Simple yet technical, mellow and heavy at the same time, chord progressions are excellent

Cons:
-If you have a short attention span, you just won't get it
-Sounds better when listened to several times as a whole
-Dethroned Opeth as my favorite band :lol:

Beautiful freak - Eels

pros: Not your typical "I hate this world screaming vocals!", easy listening, don't be fooled by melody. Takenote of Mark E's lyrical prowess. Angst and Sadness put up in a good album. Full of emotions yet alot of many issues are dealt in every song.

cons: Classified as hard to find album. Not your radiofriendly type of song.

Recommended tracks:

susan's house
beautiful freak
flower
rags to rags
novocaine for the soul
lucky day in hell


Ash - 1977

pros: No need to skip tracks, each song is unique. Includes songs that really describe your inner feelings.

cons: Not suitable for the close minded person who tells the world "Hey I'm a music person".

Recommended tracks:

Girl from Mars
Angel interceptor
Oh yeah
*Lost in you

*Let your date hear the song "Lost in you" when you talk to her on the phone. :D

[screamocrat]

The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute

PROS:

- Omar and Cedric successfully deliver the substance, technique, toughness and melody in a tad over an hour.
- Frances knows no bounds musically. Metal, punk, jazz, salsa, etc. are respresented throughout, and that's a good thing.
- Please excuse the bias, but the boys of Volta hail from my home state of Texas.

CONS:

- Can't find one except that the album's not designed for the casual listener. Enthusiasts of Simple Plan, Kelly Clarkson or any of the so-called Champions will find it hard to take in even five seconds of the disc.

RECOMMENDED TRACKS:

The entire album.

[layer]

The Grand Silent System - Gift or a Weapon

Pros:
beautiful melodies and riffs you will listen to over and over
if you like to listen to rock with flutes and horns, this is it
incorporates several genres - rock, jazz, funk, etc.
excellent songwriting; not a single song sounds the same
very relaxing album

cons
available only in australia, or soulseek. hehe
best listened to as a whole

i agree, hehe :D
*okay* Have you tried it before ? Well I did that and guess what she always recalls me whenever she hear that song Lost in you.

That album is like a marksman's arrow, though it will not kill you physically but can kill you emotionally.

underrated album ... each song is special in its own way *okay*

mas gusto ko kasi yung De-Loused...

HALE = Highly Recommended!!!

*okay* *okay* *okay*

[SoliduS_AlphA]

I also recommend:

You meant appetite fo destruction.
GnR debut album that propelled them to the Billboard charts released late 80's.

Tracks recommended:
My michelle
rocket queen
mr. brownstone
paadise city

But for me I don't skip any track ,I finish the whole album when I listen to them.

pros: If you're the type of a die hard rock fan this should be on your playlist.

cons: Not suited for stereotype minded people who think glam suck.

[SoliduS_AlphA]

311- Don't tread on me

pros: If you're into rap/hiphop/reggae/funk this one's for you. Aside fom their creativity Nick Hexum makes good lyrics as well and add to that their wide scope of musical ideas.

cons: You might like to check out past 311 albums before you try this one.

Recommended tracks :
don't tread on me
speak easy
solar flare
waiting
getting through to her
whiskey and wine

[jiggybabymiggz]

Soundgarden - Superunknown

pros: This is the best album for me during the grunge era. If you would listen to it and compare it to any of Nirvana's or Pearl Jam albums, I don't get tired listening to it. This album is a real-filler.

cons: If you try to play this album in full-volume, your parents may yell at you. Good for converting to MP3 and playing it at your MP3 player.

Recommended tracks:
Fell on black days
My Wave
Let me drown
and all

[dixiewhiskey]

i agree on the superunknown post, jiggy4:20. it has gotten me through a lot of stoned depressed times, heheh. good pick. one of my faves of all time.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

pros: one of the best hiphop albums ever, Shadows' skills at the tables and sampling at its ultimate peak. there are pianos, funk guitar samples, oldschool beats, jazz licks and nod-out trippin' basslines

cons: not everyone appreciates this sh*t tho... a lot of slow THC laced rhythms and weird breaks and stuff... people into experimental / instrumental hiphop, "triphop" stuff, DJ Spooky and uhh remotely, Portishead might like this though...

phat tracks: Midnight in a Perfect World, Mutual Slump, Building Steam with a Grain of Salt

[jiggybabymiggz]

No doubt: Best of

pros: rock/pop/ska fronted by a hot chick!

cons: some songs tend to be too Pop, but nevertheless it's still good.

best tracks:
new,
spiderwebs,
etc.etc.

i agree on the superunknown post, jiggy4:20. it has gotten me through a lot of stoned depressed times, heheh. good pick. one of my faves of all time.


yep. you got a nice taste in music, dixiewhiskey *okay*

[cutysee]

I highly recommend this new band called "ETHAN".

Ang ganda ng song nila. trip rock daw (I'm not sure if i heard it correctly) is how they describe their music. You should try it. Nakita ko na rin MTV ng song nila entitled "Alive" sa myx and mtv. Galing!! *okay*

- Libre kaya "Free" ang title.

CONS:

- The physical copy is pretty much hard to get.
- Songs "Ambulansya" and "Steady" are snoozers.

RECOMMENDED TRACKS:

"Faithless"
"Again"
"It's Strange But It's True"

[alexza]

Pros- very nice album ,although, her previous effort was much better. I give it 4 stars. Maraming RnB midtempo songs, may ballads din tapos as usual, the dance tracks and in and true janet fashion, another pop-rock song.

Cons- way too sexed-up

Recommended Tracks-

Sexhibition
Island Life
All Nite (Don't Stop)

Just A Little While

Sleepable tracks:
Moist
Warmth

Others are good enough!

Aayusin ko lang, lalagyan ko ng album cover para madali mahanap. All copies of these albums of mine are in cassete tape. And these albums mentioned are hard to find ones, try nyo sa Tower or Music one. Also look for it in Quiapo infront of the overpass near Raon (right side going to Morayta). There is a shop there that specialize in Wedding invitations and beside the display are 2hnd original Audio cd's.

astig don man, madaming stuff akong nakuha dun hehe. la nga lang the bends di ako nakabili ng cd. meron din malapit sa recto, 1 kanto away yung may gay dude na long hair bantay minsan binibigyan ako discount nun. dameng indie rock stuff dun. katabi ng beerhouse na may mga ho's na waitress na videoke na meron ding daming cd's/shiznit in one corner...

[DJ BJ Forbes]

I strongly recommend checking out the Lito Cruz Tide's collaboration with GMA-7, "Songs From And Inspired By The Teleserye Daisy Siyete". Ever heard a glam rock version of the Daisy Siyete theme? Or the Sex Bomb Singers backing up yours truly on a glam rock version of Ispageti? Plas thinks it's an awesome album to watch for.

Right, Plas? :)

DJ BJ Forbes plays the Daisy Siyete theme on his guitar, with unbridled passion

Magkakano yung mga nabibili mo na CD ? Yung metallica na S&M medyo may kamahalan pa nung huling punta ko dun. Yun nga yung place na tinutukoy ko.
Kung halimbawa ang Metallica S&M sa Odyssey is Php 750 magkano(huling tawad) mo yan mabibili dun sa shop ?

Hi. Would you recommend a good rap/hiphop album (from various artists) available in our local music stores today? Preferably with Ludacris on and a more recent one. I hardly watch MTV or listen to the radio these days so I don't know much about music anymore but I kind of like that genre although I listen to all sorts of music. I just happen to like it a lot at the moment because I'm playing GTA: San Andreas and I'm loving the rap music there!

Thanks!

Copeland - In Motion

Pros:
- Aaron Marsh's singing
- Excellent use of melody and heaviness, catchy hooks, good drumming (from a non-technical standpoint)
- Nothing special (see cons) but if you want accessible indie rock done right, this band is it

Cons:
- May sound like generic pop rock or alternative to some
- Lyrics are a bit cheesy and uninspired (for better lyrics/theme see their older album "Beneath The Medicine Tree")

Recommended Tracks:
- Don't Slow Down
- Love Is A Fast Song
- Pin Your Wings
- Kite
- No One Really Wins

Similar Artists:
- Mae
- Waking Ashland
- Coldplay
- Gin Blossoms
- Acceptance

[j_f21]

Para sa mga fans ng OPM saka EMO,

Artist:Typecast
Album:The Infatutaion Is Always There

Pros
- A great catch for an EMO fan.
- If you like the band "Dashboard Confessionals", this band would be its pinoy counterpart.
- If you like pinoy bands who sound like foreign bands, this band is a great example.

Cons
Not suitable for persons who only listens and appreciates songs that are promoted in radios. Ibig sabihin kung ikaw yun tipong taong nagugustuhan lang ang kanta pag ni-release na sa airwaves, inde pu-pwede sa inyo ganitong mga kanta.

[jon322]

Raining Blood - Slayer

Pros:
IMO the definitive Thrash album
Dave Lombardo's drumming

Cons:
Repititive
A very short album

Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God

Pros:
Increased technicality over LoG's other album
The drumming again, :)
Laid to Rest, hehehe

Cons:
Same chugga-chugga sound

[loc0]

It's Reign In Blood, Raining Blood is a song in the album.

[e.vedder]

dami, pero yung importante muna, at yung mga hindi pa obvious i guess...

OK COMPUTER by Radiohead
-hailed as the best album released last century, experimental album by Radiohead that earned them critical and artistic success

BINAURAL by Pearl Jam
-an underappreciated album by porbably the best rock act in the 90's

THE BEEKEPER by Tori Amos
-another beautiful work from this singer songwriter, although medyo nagiging "pop" na yung sound niya

the best pop-rock group ever. kung gusto nyo ang pre-angry-rock na The Cardigans magugustuhan nyo to! (basta sobrang ganda ng music nila lalo na ang "Walking Around Downtown" at "One Marathon")

2. Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene
ito ang alternative super group ng Canada. astig ang music- kailangan kumuha na kayo ng copy. AGAD!!!

3. The Strokes - Is this it? at Room on Fire
old-school rock sound. astig. (*** bago nila edgy kaya di na-a-appreciate ng lahat) (oo nga pala pupunta ako sa The Strokes na concert!!! heh!)

4. Never Ending White Lights - Never Ending White Lights
kakaiba- *** single na kasama si Dallas Green (The Grace) enough na para bilhin ang album

5. City and Colour - Sometimes
Solo project ni Dallas Green. alterna-acoustic goodness from a punk-metal vocalist!!! astig.

the album is really awesome even if they did some covers... nicole's vocal powers are like WHOA!!

[freakydancing]

UP DHARMA DOWN- Fragmented..wala ako masabi sa lupet! for me the best album this year!

[freakydancing]

pahabol sa post ko....PROS ng Fragmented ng UP DHARMA DOWN- sobrang ganda .CONS panay sold out kaya pag meron ng stock makita .dapat kunin na at and buong Maynila is starting to notice this awesome quartet. sulit sobra!

[karona]

hmmmmm if im not mistaken meron sa M1 sa greenbelt parang me nakita ako kanina dun. . . .

[faaip_de_oiad]

Para sa mga fans ng OPM saka EMO,

Artist:Typecast
Album:The Infatutaion Is Always There

Pros
- A great catch for an EMO fan.
- If you like the band "Dashboard Confessionals", this band would be its pinoy counterpart.
- If you like pinoy bands who sound like foreign bands, this band is a great example.

Cons
Not suitable for persons who only listens and appreciates songs that are promoted in radios. Ibig sabihin kung ikaw yun tipong taong nagugustuhan lang ang kanta pag ni-release na sa airwaves, inde pu-pwede sa inyo ganitong mga kanta.

They ripped off a lot of Saosin's songs.

I have the Infatuation album though. I only liked the first track.

Grace by the late and the great Jeff Buckley

PROS
- very strong lyrically; most of the songs have powerful themes (Eternal Life and Dream Brother, for example) and are filled with wonderful poetic lines
- it has an extremely personal feel to it, maybe because it's an extremely personal album
- Jeff's voice. oh my god, the voice. :handsdown: very strong, but can be very emotional without going over the top
- the songs romantic but are never cheesy or sappy

CONS
- not for everyone. it takes a few listens to fully appreciate the whole album

my fave tracks:
Grace
Hallelujah
Lover, You Should've Come Over <-- super fave ko

songs i'm not too crazy about but are still pretty good:
Corpus Christi Carol
Mojo Pin


highly recommended! if you can, try to get the Grace: Legacy Edition copy. it has an awesome new/old song - Forget Her - that was supposed to be on the original album but was scrapped at the last minute.

[Papichulo168]

[pay_see]

let's relive the fun we had in the Do You Have The Same Taste In Music?, The Appreciation/Asaran Tayo Thread and Artist Connection days....

... from that idea, Similar Artists pages in the net and Amazon's Listmania ...

i came up with an album recommendation thread in a fun way ....

... in order for us not to be stuck in the same genre/style/type of music you can also use other reasoning like these examples ....

Examples:

1st pexer:

O - Damien Rice

2nd pexer:

if you're looking for another album released in 2003 i also recommend Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by Outkast

3rd pexer: (it can also be from the same artist)

i also recommend Idlewild Sountrack

4th pexer:

you like soundtracks, i also recommend Garden State Soundtrack.

5th pexer:

you like indie, i also recommend Iron and Wine's Our Endless Numbered Days.

etchetera etchetera




Remember that this is an ALBUM recommendation thread, pick the ones that you really think are good albums. And also be reminded that this is *again* a recommendation thread, so don't question other's taste of music.

you can also state whether it's highly recommended or not in your opinion.

Any further explanations and discussions is welcome.

[pay_see]

me first:

i highly recommend "O" by Damien Rice.

[jadebench]

i just love Cannonball by Damien Rice..ginamit kasi sa isang korean drama thats why...

i recommend "Sharon Sings Alcasid"...nice rendition of Sharon.

[pay_see]

^it has to have something to do with the last album posted.

[jadebench]

^^^ganun ba, tinatamad akong magbasa sa first post eh, ang haba-haba!

[the_icewolf]

ang haba-haba!

yup... basta mag recommend na lang! tapos... eto sa kin... pay see siguro meron ka na ng mga to...

juan de la cruz band... balong malalim pa lang, bawi na gastos dito!

florante... upuan, handog back to the past!....

yano... 1st cd, walang tapon promise!

asin... yung compilation cd na lang... lahat ng magagandang kanta nila andoon na...

pinoy bato: selection cd... sikat na si pedro! wala kong cd nito, pinapakinggan ko na lang sa jeep... wala ding tapon

tito vic and joey: walang panama si parokya dito (opinion ko lang ha?)... me jokes, orig songs, parodies...

rivermaya-trip: hilo, princess of disguise, himala!... 9 out of ten!

andrew e -yung unang cassette... nalimutan ko na title eh... basta pag hip hop, rnb andrew style andito....

francis m.-freeman: mahiwagang kamote, kaleidoscope world, three stars and a sun... astig si francis!... and its his best work...

[klonoa]

Anything except metal, emo and country.

Free leech on one of my new favorite torrent sites and I have a huge ratio buffer for the other torrent site.

Oh and to all indie fans I recommend Neutral Milk Hotel *okay* *okay*

[p@cm@n!@c]

I am enjoying the new album of GOMEZ , "How We Operate".

[22mai]

Look for Moonpools and Caterpillars unreleased album, 12 Songs :D

[Pandaemonaeon]

Psst, don't mention torrent sites or encourage piracy ;)

Neutral Milk is the first band you'll hear about when you venture into indie followed by Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Belle & Sebastian and ugh, Sufjan Stevens.

Some bands you might like:
Broken Social Scene - also check out the bands of their respective members (i.e. Stars, Feist, Metric, Apostle of Hustle - in that order)
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Weezer-sounding lo-fi.
Headlights - Female-fronted indie pop... guitar-driven with varying song structures, it's pretty good.
Death From Above 1979 - Drum and bass. Literally. Speaking of DFA...
CSS - Brazilian electro clash.
Los Campesinos! - they only have a 4-track LP but it gives you a flavor of what to expect when their debut album comes out next year.
Kate Nash - Regina Spektor with explicit lyrics and a cockney accent.


Also if you have Winamp/foobar2000, I recommend the goon-operated, inter-web radio station GBS.fm (http://www.gbsfm.info) -- registered users (goons only though) get to add songs on the rotation so it's as diverse as you can get. I added Wolfgang and UDD there and the response was fairly good, 3.8/5 average on both :D

[klonoa]

oy. Sufjan is amazing
Thanks for the input guys.

Wala ako SA account eh :(

[Pandaemonaeon]

You can still listen to it and add pre-loaded songs to the rotation, just not upload stuff.

[22mai]

Psst, don't mention torrent sites or encourage piracy ;)

if this reply is intended for me, you can buy the album (12 Songs) here (http://www.pinoymall.com/showproduct.asp?psku=MCCD01)

:D

[Gospel of Judas]

if you like some jazz loving, maybe madeleine peyroux would be a good one.

theolonious monk also, if you still have not come across his music.

i think you should also go to last.fm coz we can't really attune to all of your recommendation needs.

[spacesamba]

canandian artists are great! if you enjoy feist, try reverie sound revue! emily haines and her band metric would be something interesting too! right now i'm really into this Japanese band called Toe, medyo post-rock sila.

i also recommend BLACKOUT............this album is like woah!!!!Nobody does music without doing it than Britney spears......

[Pandaemonaeon]

hey guys i tried listening to explosions in the sky and the album leaf and i loved it! can you guys recommend other bands that sound like them? thanks!

Caspian... This Will Destroy You... Signal Hill... The American Dollar... a lot, actually.

They all belong to that large but somewhat underrated (and at times monotonous) genre known as post-rock (http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=248028).

[blue_streak]

Citay. Psychedelic folk is the way to go. :D

I also recommend The Pentangle and Fairport Convention for the first wave of British Folk.

Of course, you can never go wrong with Nick Drake. ;)

[bluesky_luis]

you should try listening to the following: COLBIE CAILLAT, MEIKO and PAOLO NUTINI :)

[spacesamba]

hey guys i tried listening to explosions in the sky and the album leaf and i loved it! can you guys recommend other bands that sound like them? thanks!

psychedelic folk is awesome, i agree. add Circulus and Carol of Harvest to the list.

[pagan]

if you're looking for relaxing, easy-listening sounds, i highly recommend Damien Rice and Jack Johnson.

Jeff Buckley :handsdown:

for something pop-rock-y KT Tunstall is freaking amazing. check out her live performances on youtube. she's a one-woman band. her first album "Eye to the Telescope" is killer. her 2nd one, "Drastic Fantastic" is a little disappointing, although it still has some good songs.

[anjuna123]

I love this funky track from Full Flava Feat. Ce Ce Peniston, where they cover the classic single "You Are The Universe" by The Brand New Heavies.

[Pandaemonaeon]

Got this idea from SA's NMD. It's basically a recommendation/suggestion chain - User A asks which band/s sound like Band X and User B/C/D/E names Band Y/Z. Or User A just got into progressive rock - are there any other bands from that genre he should listen to that's not Pink Floyd or Rush? Which album should I start with when listening to Paris Hilton - the technical-era releases or her bubblegum pop efforts? Or I'm trying to give Slapshock a try - is there a song/album that doesn't have phlegm shouting? Answer: Not likely! And so on.

[spacesamba]

i'd recommend the postmarks , camera obscura and outerhope for people who like indie pop! menomena and yndi halda if you want to hear something new and different..

[myxxd]

I recommend "When I'm With You" and "Catch My Breath" by Westlife

[jrj]

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

britney's life might have sucked, but not her CD!

[Katchatore]

I need help. Just recovering music that I previously lost. So what albums should I download to fill up my player? Please recommend. Thanks. Pay_see I need you here! :lol:

BTW I recommend too. Get some of The Cardigans.

[last.dodo.bird]

wow, it's so difficult to recommend without criteria or anything to go on...

uhhhhhm.... time for the usual suspects:


The Smiths
Belle and Sebastian
Elliott Smith
The Go-Betweens
The Magnetic Fields
The Shins
of Montreal
The New Pornographers
The Decemberists
Death Cab for Cutie
Eels


...yeah, I'd say those are a good start.

[Katchatore]

Those are okay but what about acid jazz music or electronica?

[last.dodo.bird]

acid jazz.... :hmm: ...I suppose some Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies wouldn't hurt.

electronica sobrang lawak... but I'll go out on a limb and recommend Björk and Air.

[mishd310]

i'd give the obvious choice right now....

Nujabes :lol:

listen...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxHQKUNxzsA

albums, metaphorical music and modal soul

[spacesamba]

sound is a great acid jazz band. they're pinoy too!

[Katchatore]

I have Bossa Manila and Blue Monsoon. :D

dodo, I have Jamiroquai's and Bjork's discog. I might try to go jazz. Maybe some Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Ella Fitzgerald. Astrud Gilberto for some bossa nova. lol

i'd give the obvious choice right now....

Nujabes :lol:

i'd also recommend Stars. they crossover so many genres it's hard not to like them.

[mishd310]

Try Zero 7 as well, it's chill music.

and if you want some off the wall stuff, try Lovage, album : Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By

[spacesamba]

Try Zero 7 as well, it's chill music.

and if you want some off the wall stuff, try Lovage, album : Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By

ohh i love zero 7! you should try esthero!

[autumnsweaters]

what about acid jazz music or electronica?

Straying away from the usuals, try the James Taylor Quartet, Jazzanova (saw them in Manila yeeears ago, amazing stuff!), and US3. And like US3, I'm not sure if people categorize Digable Planets as acid jazz (more like acid hip hop prolly), but I like 'em.

For electronica stuff, if you liked Bjork, maybe you'll like Emiliana Torrini's Love In The Time Of Science. How about Goldfrapp or Morcheeba or Leftfield or Thievery Corporation? A little extreme but IDM is a particular branch of electronica that I love: Aphex Twin, The Orb, Plastikman (a.k.a. Richie Hawtin, he also DJed in Manila yeeears ago, fantastic guy)... *okay* on Zero 7, btw.

I might try to go jazz. Maybe some Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Ella Fitzgerald. Astrud Gilberto for some bossa nova. lol

How about a combination of bossa nova and electronica: Bebel Gilberto (Tanto Tempo)? And in case it's not your cup of tea, there's always Jobim and Getz. Jazz ain't complete jazz if there's no free jazz, Ornette!

[Katchatore]

The recommendations are coming. Thanks guys.

Now we should find Panda to sticky this thread.


mishd310, I LOVE NUJABES!!! :naughty:

Only by the Night - Kings of Leon
The Blue Album - Weezer

Soundtrack choices:
Almost Famous
Before Sunset/Sunrise
Garden State
High Fidelity
I Am Sam
O Brother Where Art Thou (bluegrass)

If you want more of my recommendations:
Bachelor No. 2 - Aimee Mann
Trouble - Ray Lamontagne

The only thing I'm close to listening to Jazz

If you don't want to listen to my suggestions, screw you then :rotflmao:

[p@cmani@c]

Cassandra Wilson's Thunderbird
Anjani's Blue Alert

[pay_see]

^ or listen to pac's recommendations, trust him, he knows.

[pay_see]

since we are leaning towards Jazz that the threadstarter is asking for.

I'd like to expand my previous recommendation by providing a video link - Esperanza Spalding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZI7iPynrEM).

[mishd310]

If you don't want to listen to my suggestions, screw you then :rotflmao:

this made me :lol: for reals.

also try, Lisa Shaw - Cherry

some songs i like Don't Know What to Do (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAz3ddrSTqo&feature=related) and Grown Apart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfjo71eDU7s)

[last.dodo.bird]

This Nujabes sounds interesting. I'd say it's Instrumental Hip Hop or Jazz Rap if it's anything...

As for jazz.... since you've mentioned Davis & Coltrane, there's also Charles Mingus to check out - and I prefer him over both Davis & Coltrane, actually. You must also try out:


Frank Zappa - Hot Rats (a MUST!)
Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus
Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto (standard bossa/jazz record)
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby and Sunday at the Village Vanguard
Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters and Empyrean Isles

[Katchatore]

How about sexy times songs? :lol:

[last.dodo.bird]

How about sexy times songs? :lol:
Portishead!

[pay_see]

I did include some. First ones on the list.

If you want to listen to Neo-Soul or in search of good seduction props:
I recommend Embrya by Maxwell and Voodoo by D'angelo.

I'd also recommend Phoenix and Tahiti 80 for those who like great pop music; Land of Talk, Menomena, Broken Social Scene, The Most Serene Republic and Tokyo Police Club for those who like indie music and the soundtarck of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist just because it's awesome.

I love that lovage, baby

Old english lovage alcoholic cordial
Savour the old english cordial originally distilled
From devon herbs and spices
Using the secret recipe handed down through generations
And still one of devon's most popular imbibes
Traditionally drunk two parts lovage to one part brandy
As a soothing winter warmer, but if you want something a little more explicit
We recommend two parts Hennessy to one part lovage
Enjoy, baby

I love that lovage, baby

i am looking for recommendations on songs about 2nd chances, or the possibility of 2nd chances in love. something to the effect of maybe this time (maybe now they can be more than just friends), pagdating ng panahon, i still believe by mariah, or love will lead you back. basta the general sentiment of the song is suppose to be 'second chances'.

doesnt matter if its OPM or emo or kahit ano....any suggestions? kthnxybe =)

Beautiful - Eminem

ayun lang.

[nohj_08]

pa-add if you want to be depressed and just to ahh nevermind.

try the best rockband ever - COLDPLAY
haha. may resemblance sa radiohead but only sincere haha.

fave album Parachutes.
walang sayang.

I love Trouble so much!:love:

[sickmaggot]

I really like the new album of Daughtry

[hardkandy]

The Weepies -if you're into folk music, they are the best duo right now for me. Sort of Fleetwood Mac-ish but more mellow and I find Deb Talan's voice to be amazing and soothing.
Kings Of Leon - not just Only By The Night, check out their earlier albums especially Aha Shake Heartbreak. For me, Caleb Followill is the best rock singer today.
The Killers - of course, Hot Fuss is a landmark album but every album is great, honestly.
Eric Hutchinson - Mayer/Mraz type of guy, but in my book he is better than Mayer and Mraz combined. His songwriting has the simplicity of Mayer and the quirkiness of Mraz.. and he has a great voice too. Sounds Like This is a perfect album with no dead tracks.
Frank Turner - gifted songwriter, his lyrics are amazing and everyone should listen to his albums. His work is a departure from what he did with Million Dead, folk/rock suits him best.
Patty Griffin - lots of her songs have been covered by more popular artists like Martina McBride, Dixie Chicks and Kelly Clarkson. One of the best lyricists ever in my book- her songs are almost always sad though, senti but not corny.
VV Brown - if you're into Lady GaGa, Santogold type of artists, I think you'll like her. She has her own sort of genre, kind of electronic pop mixed with doo wop. It's really interesting, her album Travelling Like The Light is sick...in a good way.
