Good music

Anyone want to recommend some music that I should check out? I like all sotts of music, usually what plays on the radio is good but I also like music with no lyrics (movie soundtracks for example). Anyone want to just recommend something out of the blue?
 
all have no lyrics unless noted otherwise

Pink Floyd: Terminal frost, When your in, Marooned, Cluster One, Any Colour You Like, Dogs (has lyrics but few and far between), One of these days, Echoes (mostly instrumental, but has lyrics), On The Run,

I am an avid ambient/electronic fan, but man, I can't stop listening to Ben Folds Five. So well-crafted and such catchy melodies. It's absolutely incredible. Get "Whatever and Ever Amen" and "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner". Wow.

Robert Randolph and the Family Band-- awesome Blues/Funk band... they are SO AMAZING live, you have to see them. If there aren't any shows near you, pick up their "Live at the Wetlands" CD. Also check out their new (and first) studio CD- "Unclassified." I got one of the limited edition autographed copies 🙂
 
Semi-Random three tracks from my playlist

Bloodbath - The Soul Collector
Isacaarum - Isamahaparinibbanasuttam
Haggard - The Observer
Deflarace - Happy Man
Lake of tears - Sweetwater
Macabre - Vampire of Dusseldorf
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times
Shadows Fall - Crushing Belial

I only recommend metal, as thats all I consider to be good music. This is a pretty big variety and no two tracks should sound similar.
 
Albums I'm currently listening to:

King's X - Dogman, King's X
Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden
Lillian Axe - Live 2002
Dream Theater - A tribute to Metallica's Master of Puppets
Metallica - St. Anger
