Rock, indie, alternative music

[ILoveShoes]

Hi everyone,
I used to be really passionate about music and going to gigs, but over the past few years, I've gotten completely out of touch and I don't know what I like anymore!
I'd really like to get into some bands/artists that I've not heard of before (I've recently discovered Rob Zombie! Lol). Can anyone recommend anyone else for me to check out?
I love guitar music - my favourite bands are/have been...

Mansun
Blur
Placebo
Supergrass
Radiohead (pre-'OK computer')
Manic St Preachers
Marilyn Manson (especially Mechanical Animals)
David Bowie
Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit
Queens of the Stone Age
Muse (early stuff)
King Adora

I've probably missed loads out, but can any of you lovely ladies re-ignite my passion?! Ha ha

Thanks so much xx

Ooh i dont know. I know what u mean when you forget yrself. I have a random taste in music.
I love stereophonics, kasabian, snow patrol, bryan adams, the script, u2, bob dylan kings of leon and ive recently got into the smiths. Then theirs certain songs by certain people that i love.
One of my faves is "creep" by radiohead. Love it!!!
Yet to look at me you wouldnt think in a million yrs id like that.

I just heard a song today that I liked so I looked it up and it was by them.

I'm more on the lower-energy indie/alt spectrum than the ones you've listed but my favourites are The National, Modest Mouse, The Lumineers, Airborne Toxic Event.

Oh and I've just recently started listening to The Wombats, I'm liking them a lot.

my all-time favourite song ever though in the whole world is Poison by Alice Cooper

 

[violet chase]

Oh alice you have opened a can of worms there...im supposed to be going to bed but screamager caught my eye and i can feel myself wandering off to youtube

I can't really do Nightwish with Anette she just doesnt do it for me i kinda went off them when they took her on although i do like Amaranth

That list takes me back though

xJG30 The only one i heard of Transplants was diamonds and guns which i love

 

[ellismum]

Oh Mansun, that takes me back to my youth!

I'm not into hard rock, I was a huge Stereophonics fan, lost count of the amount times I've seen them but not really bothered with them for a while although I have alot of their old albums on my ipod, Performance and Cocktails is such a great album! My current love is Muse although I prefer their older stuff, Ruled by Secrecy is my fav song of all time, not just from Muse, always makes the hairs on my body stand up. When I listen to the charts now and it's so commercial and sounds the same, so depressing and unoriginal.

 

[Toms Mummy]

Ooh I do love Placebo!

 

[alicecooper]

I can't really do Nightwish with Anette she just doesnt do it for me i kinda went off them when they took her on although i do like Amaranth

agreed I feel the same. Tarja's voice really made Nightwish. I saw them live back in 2005 a few months before she left and I'm so glad I got to see them when they were at their best. I am not fond of new Nightwish either but Amaranth is one exception lol.

 

[Tegans Mama]

Hmmm. How about HIM, Biffy Clyro, AFI, Billy Talent, Shinedown, Rush, Alter Bridge...
Just a couple of bands of the top of my head.. do you have Spotify? I go on a hunt on there when i'm feeling like something new

I agree with this list. Most of my favourite bands are in the first line

 

[lau86]

From your list I think you'd like the cribs, kasabian or the yeah yeah yeahs. What about arcade fire aswell.

 

[violet chase]

Oh Mansun, that takes me back to my youth!
.

stripper vicar love that one.


alice snap got to see them with Tarja amazing was so disappointed when they "severed ties"! I'd deffo go and see her on her own though!
