Help me build my music library

You lost your library? How'd that happen?

 

The Killers second album was quite good. Don't buy it though. I'll burn you a copy.

You might also check out Velvet Revolver's stuff and Rooney's.

 

Check out the Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys and Muse.

 

A-mother-freakin'-men.

 

Standards:
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby, G-d Only Knows, Wouldn't it Be Nice, Forever, Sloop John B

Just about anything Bruce Hornsby released is good listening.

Go for the stuff from Hot House (Spider Fingers, White-Wheeled Limousine, Tango King) or Halcyon Days (Circus on the Moon the best of the bunch).

 

I didn't have a home computer at my old place and so I used my work laptop for iTunes. So, whoever got my work laptop inherited a grand collection of music.

 

No rap, 'Gola, rap sucks.

Before I throw some names out there, do you prefer lots of guitar, multi-instrumental mellower stuff, stripped down signer-songwriters? Any or all of the above?

 

reap the wild wind by ultravox.

joe jackson from 1981-84'ish.

dookie - green day's best work.

luscious jackson.

 

Lately I've either been listening to my massive collection of Floyd and Explosions in the Sky or more rock-n-roll type stuff like White Stripes. Not sure what that means, but I did just buy The Raconteurs' Broken Boy Soliders. It kicks ass.

 

Oh, and as far as rap, I'm pretty tapped out there. Unless Eminem or Outkast come out with something new.
