Apologise if this is an old idea but I'm sooo bored of my 'limited' collection & looking for inspiration, I have to admit the chart and popular stuff is pretty much beyond me at this point (with the odd aberration), so got to thinking, if I put up a thread of what I like, maybe some kind people may have some suggestions on artists to try that I'd not considered ?

Right now I'm liking:

Mick Flannery
The Frames
Kings of Leon
Nirvana
Green Day
Killers
Coldplay
REM

Not exclusively above, anything and everything really but its indicative...
so, kind people, any help here ? - Thanks

Mars Bar

At the moment for me it's:

Phil Collins
Mark Knopfler
Sir Elton John
Bruce Springsteen
Meat Loaf
Billy Joel

Not to be harsh or anything but that is pop/chart music. If you want to get some new music to listen to, howabout trying to ease yourself out of the pop/chart zone. That music is horribly polished, watered down and unoriginal, it's made to be radio friendly, thereby keeping artistic integrity to a minimum (REM and Nirvana being the exceptions). Then again if that's what you like, that's what you like and don't let people try and convince you otherwise. My recommendations in that case would be to keep listenening to 2fm.

If you listen to music on your computer, lastfm.com is your first step. It will scrobble what you listen to (make a record of it) and then start giving you recommendations after a while. Or else you can go to the pages of artists you know you like and find out what stuff is similar.

If you like Mick Flannery - Try Mic Christopher, Fionn Regan, Leonard Cohen
The Frames - Bell X1, Once Soundtrack, Damien Rice
Kings of Leon - The Hold Steady, Lynard Skynard
REM - Modest Mouse, The National
Green Day - Foo Fighters, Less than Jake

Maybe also try Interpol's Antics, White Lies, Editors - all quite poppy radio friendly rock stuff of the type you seem to like.
