Suggestion help please? :)

[Eld]

Hey all. Lately I've been a bit bored with my CD collection and I'm really looking to find out some good music that I haven't heard before.

I don't really want any death metal suggestions. Just real good music, emotional, good musicianship, etc - all the basic stuff.

Favorite bands are Anathema, Neurosis, and Enslaved. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, etc. So, whatever you suggest would be great.

thanks

Roger Waters- Amused to Death

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

CD: Godbluff, Band: Van der graaf generator. 1975, Dark, emotional, brilliant stuff!

I can see you're open minded and that's really great..... Try out the new Sonic Youth cd..... I don't know if you've heard about Death In Vegas.... Brilliant band.... Their first album is called The Contino Sessions and it's fuckin awesome. The new one will be released this month. Massive Attack, Portishead... There are so many great non-metal bands

Kingston Wall - Trilogy

Hey guys you've been a lot of help! Lots of names I've not heard before so I'm glad that it didn't resort to the big names in metal. I have a feeling that little of this is metal, which is fine by me since.

I'll look into all the bands except for the ones I know of course (Come on Don, like I haven't heard Opeth, haha) and let you know what I think.

thanks

I added a link to Kingston Wall's website..so there you can read their story from beginning 'till the end (= Petri Walli's jump from the roof of Töölö church..) It's quite interesting in my opinion.
