New artists - Recommendations??

[sft42]

Having gone through the alphabet on winmx and nearly exhausted all the songs i have been looking for i'm now going onto new artists to dip my toe in the water can anyone recommend new artists and top songs by them to try out. I like pink floyd, travis, manics, lots of folkie artists and light dance or pop now and again as well as someway out and weirder stuff. Come on guys and gals help me out!

right mr 42, get yer lugs round this little lot - I'm sure most of it will appeal

four tet

fridge

flaming lips

lambchop

american music club

tindersticks

kathryn williams

echoboy

ballboy

hopefully that'll do for starters. most of its acousticy type gubbins which is all very good as well some outthere/dancey/experimental stuff too. happy listening.

May I be evangelical on behalf of the wonderful Porcupine Tree (If I were a lazy music journalist I would probably call them 'a Floyd for the new millenium' but rest assured that's an understatement?

Also, if you like folky stuff and a bit of light dance, can I suggest the wonderful Afro Celt Soundsystem who fuse the two (but are more folky/ world than they are dance). Great stuff. Mmmm!

I would highly reccommend the new CD by Deborah Bonham 'The Old Hyde' - More folky sort of stuff includes The Bluehorses 'Dragons Milk & Coal' - Anything By Little Johnny England or Blazing Homesteads. The Dylan Project is worth a listen if you like Bob Dylan's music. Anything by Bob Fox, Anna Ryder, Eddie Reader, June Tabor or The Oysterband. I am also currently enjoying Queens of the Stone Age, The White stripes, Aqualung and Tenacious D. Watch out for a brilliant new band called King Mantis - just signed by Pete Townshend's manager. (My cousin plays bass!!!).

i'd recommend spiritualized - a gave them a listen for the first time last year and couldn't believe my ears. And Amazon should have delivered a Sigur Ros album to my doorstep today - i haven't heard them but i've heard lots of good things about them. hope you find something interesting.

I didn't post the question but I'm always open to recommendations so I downloaded a couple of Porcupine Tree and American Music Club songs and I liked them. If anyone fancies downloading some Ween I'd recommend 'Voodoo Lady', 'Mutilated Lips' and, if you really like stuff that's different, 'Reggaejunkiejew'.

[sugaredone]

I would so recommend the following: Bjork (esp. Homogenic album) Norah Jones Ben Folds / Ben Folds Five Garbage Goldfrapp Why don't you scan through the CDs on cdnow.com, where you can hear loads of clips of songs!?
