Reccomend me some music

[xanis]

I'm in need of some new music. I got $40 in iTunes gift cards from someone and I'm planning on using them to bulk up my music collection.

I like almost every genre of music except for country and electronic/techno. Any kind of rock is good, and hip-hop rap is always fine too. As far as the latter is concerned though, I like GOOD hip-hop/rap... stuff like The Roots.

Any suggestions? YouTube/other links to the songs would be awesome too. Thanks!

I don't know... the Roots are pretty good. Their lyrics are actually well-thought out and not about stupid shit like guns, money, and women.

Most of those are the same shitty songs that are played over and over again every day on the radio. That kind of stuff is exactly what I DON'T want. Don't mean to sound harsh.

For rap/hip-hop I really like:

Atmosphere
MF Doom (and pretty much all of his alter egos)
Dr. Octagon

Some rock-type stuff I am enjoying right now:

Wolf Parade
The Plastic Constellations
Pinback
Nada Surf

May be able to think of more later, but I'm really tired right now and can't focus.
