Suggest some music for me to listen to at work...

[Manzelle]

At my job I listen to music for about 5-6 hours a day...needless to say I have grown tired of listening to my same collection over and over and over again...

I am looking for some other great bands that I haven't given a try...I am open to all suggestions except the following...:

1. No Rap/R&B
2. No Country
3. No Techno
4. No Top 40
5. No Metallica

Here are some of the bands I listen to so you can get an idea of what I like...

Faith No More, Tool, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, APC, Queens of the Stone Age, Soul Coughing, Beck, Bob Dylan, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, RATM, Tomahawk, U2...I could go on for a while but there's an idea of my taste...any suggestions?

 

[upsciLLion]

Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing

 

[KLin]

Johnny Paycheck - Take this job and shove it.

 

[BespinReactorShaft]

The Smiths - Frankly, Mr Shankly

Because I like other kinds...when I think of rock music I don't think of Bob Dylan or Beck...I'll try just about anything other than the list of 5...

 

[Goosemaster]

APC: "13th step"
RATM: "the battle for LA"
audioslave: "audioslave"
redhotchilipeppers: "greatest hits "
foo fighters: anything
Stone temple pilots -very 'chill'
smashing pumpkins: "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness "
U2: best 0f 80-90, best of 90-2000
system of a down
interpol
alice in chains
stabbing westward
janes addiction
the who
led zeppelin
rolling stones..

etc..

That's right...no.

I hate categorizing music anyway...
