HEY GUYS! This thread is for any and all suggestions. Come here and get bombarded with "bands that sound like X" or "I want music inspired by X", etc. Have fun.
So I've been downloading from a torrent site lately and they're about to ban me because I completely cannot upload at all. I have 12 days to download and that's it, so give me suggestions on really good stuff to download.
One rule though, no metal. At all, no exceptions. I have enough and want some different stuff. Not different just to be different to the point where it's stupid. Give me the best, give me the classics of any non metal genre. GO.
For an idea I've been listening to: Joy Division, Dead Can Dance, ***speed You! Black Emperor, Bjork, Portishead, Cocteau Twins, etc. I love artfag stuff at the moment.

Pretty much anything on this guy's charts.
C'mon fags, I only have 10 more days and all I've gotten is stuff from that guys profile (which ranges from awesome to awful). Chances are I'll upload the stuff if it's good enough, if that's any motivation.
World's End Girlfriend
Well, if you're anything like me(which I know you are), you'll like DJ Sharpnel's stuff. :D
or crotchduster? have you listened to crotchduster?
Jeremy Soule.
[quote=Ant]or crotchduster? have you listened to crotchduster?
I think he's quite familiar with their material, seeing as he's the one that got me into them :D But god damn it, they need to release their new album.
Plaid - Double Figure
Kind of a trip hop/IDM combination of sorts, very good and very relaxing (at least for the most part).
Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible
The entire album is one incredible trip, even when you're not under the influence of any mind-altering drugs!
Slagsm
Gar is very satisfied. These will all be downloaded tomorrow, except Crotchduster because I'm kinda brought that here and Jeremy Soule as I already have him as well. This still isn't 10 GBs worth, so I need more!
Kenji Yamamoto. Grab the Metroid soundtracks. They're pretty ****ing cool. And John Zorn's Masada Guitars. I'll think of something else later.
I'll upload some Lycia, you'll like it. Or you can just download yourself. Also, get more Coil and Stars of the Lid albums.
Downloading what is essentially World's End Girlfriend's disco, Coil's disco, and Lycia's disco. I'll get Corrupt's recommendations next.
Also, Caina is ****ing superb stuff and everyone should get it. Great mix of post-black and experimental black metal.
I'd say download some Nino Rota. He's one of my favorite composers of all time, and his stuff is great. He is most well known for composing the ***father soundtrack but he did a lot of other great soundtracks, mostly from obscure Italian films in the 50s and 60s. Lots of circus music, waltzes, eclectic use of organs etc. For starters, I'd check out the soundtrack to Juliet of the Spirits aka "Guiletta Degli Spiriti" which I think is one of the best soundtracks of all time. A lot of happy carnivalesque moments, some mellow haunting music, tons of trippy organs. La Dolce Vita, Amarcord, 8 1/2 and La Strada are also good ones to check out.
I've checked out everything in this thread with the exception of a couple of artists / albums. I still have 3 days and about 7 GB of downloading room here, people. Throw out anything else you can think of and I'll download it.
Coco Rosie and M83 are good. Also, Devendra Banhart and almost any of his friends(for example, Nathan Pelkey). That stuff is pretty artsy. I wish I knew the names of some 20's folk artists I could throw out there, too. I dig that **** in ways that **** wasn't meant to be dug.
M83 is fantastic, I already have an album. I'll check out those other people you mentioned though as that sounds very interesting. Try and remember those artists, as that'd be very helpful. Thanks a lot.
Try to find the Anthology of American Folk Music.

Alright guys, last day. Anything that you can remember should be posted in the next 24 hours before I'm banned and have to go back to crappy torrent sites again.
My Violent Ego
Shoegaze thing that VC ripped off and stole music from. I'll post more when I get home and can remember them.
Which album was it? Because I have both of the ripped off albums still under VC's name.
Also, I'm totally digging Gordon Lightfoot at the moment. Anyone know similar stuff other than Jim Croce (currently downloading)?
I have no idea which ones they stole. Just get all of them. They have quite a few releases.
Sounds like Gordon Lightfoot:
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
James Taylor
Harry Chapin
Most other folk rock singer-songwriters that got started around that time period.
Yeah, we kept checking out stuff you liked by coincidence, so it seemed easy to post your charts to give an idea of other similar music. :)
I've definitely been enjoying Swans, because there's a lot of different sounds, depending on the album.
Post count doesn't work in blogs. :)
It turns out that site has been shut down because of people "uploading leaked cds", just a couple of weeks after I was banned for not sharing music. Awesome deal.
So hey, I'm having a change of heart. Suggest the hell out of me. I'll check out xuclo's recommendations. For background on what I listen to most frequently (although my genre mood changes frequently based on where I'm at and what's appropriate for me to absorb). Think of it as a reference, not a representation:
