Suggest some music for me?

eeclarry asked:


So, ok. I just downloaded my first album by The Shins (Wincing the Night Away) and I LOVE it! I have a thing for folk-sy type music like the Shins, Fleet Foxes, even Norah Jones. Kind of jazzy, 60-ish, a little pop kind of stuff.

I had no idea what to call my taste until I discovered “indie” music. Can you suggest some artists/bands for me to explore? I’m really excited to download and listen to some more obscure music. I don’t care if they’re from the 90’s or anything either, just anything you think I might like.

Thanks!

Jayne-I watched the video on myspace. It was awesome! It also seems that I’m the same area as him so I’ll have to go see him sometime.

thanks everyone!

    Oooh, I have some. I used to be a DJ (radio and nightclubs) and quite a collection.

    Look into (in no particular order):

    A3
    Andrew Bird
    Man or Astro-Man
    Oingo Boingo
    B-52’s (not obscure if you’re old enough)
    Talking Heads (ditto)
    Big Pig
    Tom Tom Club

    Start with those…
