Music Suggestions

Has anyone recommended Recordungs yet, or do I have to shamelessly self-promote??

I would argue for the complete opposite. Avoid the stiffness of  "Birth of the Cool" and go into the beyond-wild 70s stuff.

That's good news !
To be honest, I still listen to prog from time to time but I am not as crazy about it as I were when I dug it.

Anyway recommednations :
- country-rock : Hank III -'risin' outlaw' (excellent, Dale Crover [Melvins] guesting on drums, and this guy has a hardcore band with Assjack)
- gothic rock meets folk rock : Furyo (very hard to find obscure goth gem)
- traditional music : Beatriz Pichi Malen - 'Plata' (songs from the Mapuche ethnic group)
- extreme metal : Neuraxis (excellent death metal band, everything they released is good)
- classical music : Chopin's 'Nocturnes' (Rubinstein), Préludes (Argerich) / Couperin's 'Les Nations' (Jordi Savall or Kuijlen Brothers) / Bach's 'Purification mass'...too much to name
- punk : Misfits ' 'collection II ' (a compilation of songs released from 1977 to 1982)
- reggae : Jackie Mittoo (a keyboardist, instrumental reggae)
- ska : skatalites (everything they released) / The Specials first two albums
- blues : Otis Rush' cobra recordings
- soul : O.V. Wright's recordings
- funk : SHaron Jones and the Dap-Kings (excellent old-school funk revival)
- noise-rock/hardcore : Helmets 'Betty', jesus Lizard's 'Liar'
- heavenly : The Sundays' 'reading writing and arithmetics'
- folk : Gene Clark's 'white light'
- trip hop : Massive Attack's 'mezzanine'
- hip hop : Cypress Hill's "III : temples of boom', Beastie Boys' paul's boutique'
- synth pop : propaganda's 'a secret wish'
- electro pop : zZz's 'running with the beast'
- tango : Tomas Gubitsch's '5'
- calypso : Edmundo Ros & His Orchestra
- cha cha cha : Tito Puente at Crossinger's
- salsa : Willie Colon the player (a compilation)
- world/ethnic : King Sunny Adé's 'juju music'
- AOR : signal' 'loud and clear'

etc etc etc

well the fact that you like him put you one up in my books, at least

In that case, Miles Davis

You said new music ?
Check out Atomsmasher (electro-noise-avant-garde-grindcore) or Born under saturn (black metal meets hardcore !)

Anyway there are a lot of good music to like besides prog : country, bluegrass, folk, gothic rock, folk, trip hop, blues, soul, funk, world/ethnic, extreme metal, jazz, electronic music, classical music, AOR, reggae, ska, tango, calypso, cha cha cha, punk...

Just PM me if you want recommendations in either genre.

well, having the best first post we've seen in months helps

Know what else I think would be of use to you?

this

You should get some King Crimson too; they're essential

By the way, since you said you have no money, I'd recommend just listening to stuff on grooveshark.com.   They've got a lot of really good stuff
