For the last two or so years I have been really out of touch with music. I mainly just listen to whatever is on the radio, but I've never really heard anything that I really like.

One album I absolutely love is Blow by Blow (Jeff Beck). Can anyone recommend me some tunes in with the same kind of sound? Or just anything that sounds good, I tend to like stuff more if it doesn't have any lyrics.

 

[Nick]

ABBA.

I tend to like stuff more if it doesn't have any lyrics.

Well, then check out Rodrigo y Gabriela. I know it's not the same sound...but they rock.

If you like Jeff Beck, you might like:

- The Yardbirds
- John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
- The Allman Brothers
- Cream

... and of course Clapton, who was a contributor/member of 3 of those groups.

 

[Souther]

listen to some Pixies.

surferrosa and bosanova albums come to mind.

 

[Avalon]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess I'm kind of looking for more of the Jazz fusion sound from Blow by Blow...

If you like Jeff Beck, you might like:
- John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Really liked what I heard from these guys (Just checked out a few quick Youtube vids).

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Harvey Mandel's Baby Batter... Maybe the Mahavishnu Orchestra or the Soft Machine if you want to go more in the jazz-fusion direction.

Dashboard Confessional
Nickelback
Gwen Stefani's new stuff is pretty good as well

You may also like Angels and Airwaves; a bunch of my buddies just picked it up and tell me it's great.

Yeah, yeah, Myspace lol etc. But they're both excellent bands, and don't use lyrics in the usual way (65daysofstatic in particular use no lyrics apart from a single song on their latest album), so you may like them a lot.

 

[Trurl]

Sparks. Their latest album, Hello Young Lovers, is especially good.


Seriously, people, listen to Sparks. They manage to be groundbreaking and genre defining without avant-garde style sucking. Also, they're funny to boot.

[miyuru]

Silverchair's Young Modern, album of the year 2007 so far.

It's a mix of grand orchestrated Beach Boys-esque pop songs, timeless soft rock and quirky alt rock.

:lol I HATE this album. I want the old Silverchair back...
