I'm disappointed in you, young one. You had potential. I guess you will not be a pop superstar like me.

Yo man, it's good to hear that you're converting from the darkside. Do you have any idea what kind of music you might like? Fast or slow? Harder or softer? Do you like really good lyrics or really good music? I strongly suggest radiohead. They have so many songs and most of them sound so different. I listened to all three albums before I found the b-side that really made the connection. Here's some suggestions

Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Radiohead - How Can You Be Sure
Radiohead - Killer Cars
Radiohead - Thinking about you
Radiohead - Idioteque(off their awesome new album Kid A. This album is a lot different then their other stuff. Also check out Optimistic from their new album if you like this one)
Radiohead - Banana Co.
Radiohead - High and Dry
Radiohead - Just
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
Radiohead - Karma Police
Radiohead - No Suprises

Damn I could go on forever. I know that's a lot of songs, but they have so many great ones. I suggest you download a couple of them cause unlike boybands each of their songs is completely different.

Since I love sharing good music here's some other good songs
Weezer - Undone
Weezer - Butterfly
Weezer - El Scorcho
Weezer - Only in Dreams
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Foo Fighters - Walking After You remix (I like the remix better, it's pretty much the same as the original though)
Ben Harper - Burn One Down
Ben Harper - Steal My Kisses
Eels - Last Stop This Town
Eels - Mr. E's Beautiful Blues
Operation Ivy (One of the greatest(if not the greatest) punk bands ever any song will do)
The Ramones (Another one of the greatest punk bands ever, don't know if you want punk.)
Phish - Bounce Around the Room
Sebadoh - Ocean
Pavement - Here
Sublime - Waiting For My Ruca
Sublime - The Wrong Way
Sublime - Scarlet Begonias (Originally a Grateful Dead song)
Superchunk - Shallow End
Travis - Driftwood
Rusted Root - Ecstasy
Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun
Violent Femmes - American Music
Violent Femmes - Kiss Off
Misfits - Where Eagles Dare
Misfits - Mommy Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight
Misfits - Teenagers From Mars
Rage Against The Machine - Take The Power Back
Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name
Rage Against The Machine - Testify
Rage Against The Machine - Guerilla Radio
They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (You can only listen to They Might Be Giants if )
They Might Be Giants - Particle Man (you're legally InSaNe. That is if you want it )
They Might Be Giants - Twisting In The Wind (to make sense. )

That's a start. If you want more let me know and I'll be happy to post more.

wow, Cretin, how long did it take you to type all that out and bold them? ;)

If you want to send me them zipped, send them to irwintsu@socal.rr.com. :) Woohoo! can't wait to fire up these songs after finals :)

Deeko, i got almost everyone of those songs there :) But that still doesn't mean that i won't listen to them, I'm just seeing if i can switch over to rock/alternative and if i can't, you'll be the first one to know, yeah, something like that...

Alpha,

Didn't take too long, but I have to head to bed in a moment. I will not be able to send you any of those songs, as it would take unacceptably long to send just one. I am on but a 28.8 connection, and I don't actually have any of those MP3s, those were just some good songs I was thinking of off the top of my head. I'm sure denis could help you out more though.

Just search for those songs and get em on Napster, or ask someone to send them to you. Sorry I couldn't send them myself, but I really would suggest getting all of those, they are all good.

Soooo many recommendations.

Radiohead <- this is an obvious choice, in my opinion
Godflesh <- their older stuff is better, but it's all pretty dark
Adicts <- the best of is a great starter cd
Misfits <- just about anything by them is good
Big Black <- &quot;Songs about F**cking&quot; is a great lp
Cure <- I prefer their early stuff like Faith &amp; The Top. But you may want to start with Head on the Door

There are tons of bands out there. Try listening to some local college stations. They might have some good stuff on there.

If you want Punk, then get the best and longest running Punk band ever....The Ramones!!! Download anything by them and you won't be dissappointed. Some suggestions:

Teenage Lobotomy
Sheena is a Punkrocker
Somebody Put Something In My Drink

Actually the list is endless. They have been making music since 1974 and continue to do so.

&quot;Sex Pistols are the original punk. Also try 7 Seconds, D.O.A, and SNFU.&quot;

Bullsh!t 8ball, before the 60's were even over the Stooges (later known as Iggi Pop &amp; The Stooges), the MC5 &amp; the New York Dolls were rocking the world away.

Then their were such acts as Radio Birdman, The Saints &amp; Patti Smith at least 2 or 3 years before Malcom Mclaren came up with the concept of the Sex Pistols while Reading a trashie Murdoch paper in the bog..

Plus many consider The Velvet Underground 'Punk' &amp; they were round in Andy Warhole's hey-day of the mid 60's
