I am looking for better music. Help me find better than this.
Probably one of the more mainstream bands I listen to, but such an underrated band. Drteeth said: They're one of the few bands that still put on a great show after so many years. :3 There were a few songs I wanted to post, but they seem kind of irrelevant to the OP's taste, but it seems like more of a "I like dis" thread now anyway. Painting with broad strokes here as opposed to getting really underground and obscure. lol The Clash - White Riot NOFX - stickin' in my eyeeee Cat Power - The Greatest (weird video, wtfbowling) Swingin' Utters - Windspitting Punk been a bit mainstreamish as of late, but good nonetheless
other stuff worth of notice that pop into mind: The 3rd and the Mortal Therion Tiamat and the already mentioned Sonata Arctica & Nightwish Lately, I've gotten addicted to a style of heavy rock guitar/drums with a bit of symphonic violin and an angelic female lead vocalist. Such bands include Evanescence (the most mainstream), Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, and Nightwish. They make one amazing Pandora station.
If you want something a bit harder, I really love Avenged Sevenfold for it's amazing rock and harmonistic grunge. Kind of hard to explain, but really fun to listen to. I have found a few gems here: RCRD LBL
You'll have to do a bit of digging though, lots of stuff. *@ Caiyuo - have you heard Cat Power's work w/ Handsome Boy Modeling School? Handsome Boy Modeling School - I've Been Thinking (ft. Cat Power)

Well, I could reply to every single video posted saying I like I don't etc, but that's gonna take a lot of space... o.O I do appreciate all the replies, I am quite picky with the sound I like, I know that this band I was trying to make you discover has some terrible flaws yet they excel in areas that I find important while I can't even name them... That's probably why I like them so much, there is no other explanation. There is not a lot of music like this, and if their style was copied and improved (a much better vocalist would help ihmo, I kinda hate their vocalist "."). Nightwish really tried incorporating orchestra in many of their songs, and some of it was very nice, this makes the songs a lot harder/longer to write, I'm pretty sure. But I never found other bands experimenting it after this... ever o.O
I don't think it's very important whether or not the music we share with other manages to amaze them. Seeing our tastes rejected can hurt, but if we don't try to, how will the people who are susceptible to love it ever discover it? Realize that Japanese music will probably never play on local your local radio. The only way to make others learn about it is sharing it. I am in the process of listening to every single songs you posted. And I hope everyone can have fun discovering things, this thread isn't just about my song, I was just the original poster and I didn't expect most of you to like the song (personal experience, a lot of people hate it). It's okay to use a website to learn about music but there is too much to filter ... that tends to discourage me... usually when people are passionate about some song, there is something to dig into... I like to try understanding why they like it so much... and I like to hear about it... Minusseven: Nice of you to try understanding me :) I bought a guitar hoping I could one day play those songs I like and share them, improve them, perhaps add some of my own, but then FF XI sucked all my time lol Kaoishin: Knowing myself, I may love the fortieth time what I disliked the first time, just like wine cheese gourmet coffee take time to get used to, I think ingenuously crafted music too. At some point after listening to many bands I ended up forgetting who posted which songs, I'll have to look back into it if you care for personalized feedback, sorry if I made it look like I am ignoring the replies o.O Caiyuo said: it seems like more of a "I like dis" thread now anyway. But... wasn't it inevitably going to? ^-^; Alize said: I have found a few gems here: RCRD LBL You'll have to do a bit of digging though, lots of stuff. *@ Caiyuo - have you heard Cat Power's work w/ Handsome Boy Modeling School? Handsome Boy Modeling School - I've Been Thinking (ft. Cat Power) This RCRD LBL site is pretty interesting, too. Shall poke around for awhile. lol Psyence said: Caiyuo said: it seems like more of a "I like dis" thread now anyway. But... wasn't it inevitably going to? ^-^; I don't like Japanese music *feels hate vibes* but this Vid is a pure win. Show off. But I would too if I played the guitar like him (+ singing + tinydrums or w/e)
http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/miyavi/video/x26svq_miyavi-selfish-love_music Quality is better on daylimotion than on u-tube but you can still see him on : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEH7cphEODk *doesn't manage to make the window pop up but doesn't want to search now cos it's late -_-* Caiyuo said: Expected someone to have mentioned Opeth or Mastodon, but those are more on the metal end of the spectrum as opposed to some of what has been posted. Opeth has stuff for everrrrryone, though, example being: This is the kind of song that, were it in Guitar Hero, I would have ended up playing enough times for it to end up in my MP3 player. Had never heard of them, the guitar sounds are to my liking, discreet use of synthesizer is very welcome (something a lot more common in Japan usually!)... and in my limited perception of the genre, the guy's voice is better than average... I appreciate thanks~ Necrosigh said: I don't like Japanese music *feels hate vibes* but this Vid is a pure win. Show off.

I tried some of his music other than Selfish Love but... that one with the accoustic guitar intro is the most impressive to me, let's hope he makes more of that!

I appreciate thanks~ @Necrosigh + Psyence: If you guys like that style of guitar, I think you'll probably enjoy these artists. Huge on youtube! There are better songs of theirs, but these display their unique styles best, in my opinion. Plus Kaki plays on Lakshmi! If you want some artsy rock you might like some King Crimson
Blue October, go. Just got their latest album. <3 it.
Can't beat shredding/neo-classical music
Here's one of the best japanese guitarists: Takayoshi Ohmura And for those who prefer it a bit slower or just want to drink some: Probably not the best song to start from them, but I don't care! Singer is *** incredible. my fav songs probs =)these or gtfo Somethin a little different. Idk what's up with the chick though lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4bHMVAKDao&feature=related

Chippy said: Lol you guys listen to some rubbish it has to be said You haven't found the musical promised land with that band, chief. But just because I didn't find it impressive (yes, I listened to the song) doesn't mean that it's not. Everyone's not going to like the same thing, and they shouldn't have to. Art =/= math But just because I didn't find it impressive (yes, I listened to the song) doesn't mean that it's not.
Ha ha you gave the game the game away there "doesnt mean its not" cmon admit you were tapping your feet you liked it..Couple more listens and youll be converted for sure.. Cmon though that band rocks isnt music supposed to be about going to gigs getting pis%%% outta ya brains jumping around like a loon and then copping off with a girl..waking up with sick all over you then finding out you just scored with the worst looking girl in the whole place then running out of house with your head hung low in shame then never talking about it to your mates EVER again.. the reason i say this cos some of these posts are like oooh listen to the composition on this song the arrangement ect;- thats bollocks all you need is a great band great song..then go live a little..Like i said The Stone Roses are the Promised land..and the influenced The english music scene for the last 20 years..Which is the best the world i might add!! ha hahaha..Shame they all took so many drugs then decided to hate each others guts or they could have been world beaters..Anyone whos anyone from England has heard of the The Stone Roses i guess..they are our hidden gem from the rest of the world..now im sharing them with you and you should all thank me and send gils to my delivery box all donations welcome thanks!. P.s Death to Death Metal!. This band can also play great pop songs also..like i said these 2 songs dont do em justice goto youtube check out the rest...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jb383Pa46k&NR=
