Death Inc

If you have a Band/Artist/Music genre you think is awesome and would recommend to fellow clan mates post up here!

I'd recommend:
Them Crooked Vultures, This band is a good Alternative Rock/Rock n' Roll band consisting of Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age, Dave Grohl from The Foo Fighters and Nirvana and the Almighty John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin. (They are also awesome live)

Cheers.

The Hard-Ons. They've been a band longer than I've been alive, but they're still awesome live.

Bluejuice. They're kinda funky pop or something, but they're Australian, are a fun listen and are brilliant live.

Heavy metal is good too. Proper heavy metal I mean. None of this hard rock 70's crap.

techno can be surpisingly good to new comers.

John Butler Trio seem to not be able to not write a hit, i have no idea what genre they are but they're great.

Muse is a fantastic band, they're some sort of rock thats great, they've been around for a few years now but are just being recognised, their new album "The Resistance" is great.

The Temper Trap are kinda similar to Muse but differan, regardless they are great, their hits i can remember are "sweet disposition" "Art vs. science" "Love lost" and another i can't remember

Also if you check out some of Coldplays songs they're quite good, just some weren't put on radio and all.

A very odd band is "The Prodigy" it's "hardstyle" (they wantto sound special) techno but tbh it sounds like a mix of techno and metal.

Metallica and pearl jam FTW..Metallica have a brisbane concert in October..so gonna have a fucked neck after that...again.  Last one was kick arse

If you enjoy heavy metal and want something faster, melodic death / groove metal are really worth a try.

vampire weekend - really cute brooklyn band whom i love
the XX - a guy and a girl who sing beautiful weird alternative awesome crap
the virgins - theyre like ska/jazzy/ i dont know what im not good with genres but theyre awesome
the teenagers - strange english men who sing a lot about sex
the hard-ons - awesome.
jolie holland - an amazing beautiful 20s style strong voice full of love songs etc

yeah i like a lot of random music, some good (the xx) and some absolutely terrible (justin bieber) but the ones i just mentioned are great.

Iron Maiden- greatest of all heavy metal bands, heaps of brilliant songs and a lot of their lyrics are very clever- some are based on books or movies eg Back in the Village, The Wicker Man, Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Machinae Supremacy- heavy metal but they have some backing electronica/synth using the sound chips from a Commodore 64, some really awesome songs, a number of them are free to download

alestorm- pirate themed heavy metal- nuff said

Killswitch Engage my favourite metal band and probably Arch Enemy if your into Death metal

TV on the radio - psychedelic rock with awesome high pitched vocals (I was a lover is an epic song by them)
Black Diamond Heavies - Blues rock with metal sounding vocals.
Art VS science - Aussie rock/electro/pop band
A sound mind - Lord of the rings epic battle music fused with hard rock music.(trust me its awesome)
One Day as a Lion - The lead singer of Rage against the machine and the old drummer from The Mars Volta (need i say more?)

Crystal Castles: epic techno, a lot of sounds come from the old school atari

Parkway Drive: the ONLY hard band i can listen too

* = personal favourite

And that pretty much sums it up. I have left out a lot of Trance/Techno/House stuff because its so hard to classify, as well as a few others that have already been mentioned.

Ash - Irish punk rock/alternative
Angels & Airwaves - Bray suggested this one in an older thread.. I'm really liking their FREE album.

Can't forget mentioning Cat Stevens lately as he is doing a few Aussie/NZ performances soon!!

Sounds like porn not music

+1 from me here reggie (although, having seen them live 3-4 times (i forget which..but that says more about my state at the partys) they arent the best live... but musically i put the album Classical Mushroom in my top 3 of all time...

I totally agree with chalice, Metallica and Pearl Jam!!!!
Im probably going to Metallicas November concert in melb, fucken awesome

30 seconds to Mars are great, I was thinking of seeing them, they're coming to aus in july i think.

Empire of the sun are a great, I think they're alternative, they have some good songs out, but trust me these guys are alternative, as soon as you see the singer you'd trust me.

One of the guys from empire of the sun has a brother called Sam La More who does a lot for stuff for Ministry of Sound

this is the first video of my favourite song by The Prodigy, Omen, although i think the songs been slowed down a little bit.

You might like this one reggie, Greyboy, he kind of straddles betweeen trip hop and acid jazz.
