The Alphabet Music Library project

[Stigmata]

Basically, to satisfy my OCD, I'm trying to ensure I have at least one artist per letter in my music library. I'm only missing E, U, X, Y, and Z. Any album you want to recommend to me to fill out the void, I'll give it a listen. In the end I'll take suggestions for any letter. I just need more music, and anyone who posts regularly in this section almost definitely has great taste.

Go NOW.

One of the guys in Xploding Plastix used to be the guitarist for a great Norwegian Black Metal band called Kvist, long defunct.

Since you said you'll take recommendations on any letter, Kvist can be my recommendation.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s80QBT5xfEQ

 

[Sulkdodds]

Brian Eno? Echo and the Bunnymen?

Ulrich Schnauss? 'As If You've Never Been Away' is really nice.

Nothing for the others, except, of course, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez

You of all people should have guessed I already have that album

I'm obtaining some Zero 7, Evil Nine, UNKLE, and John Hopkins right now. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone, I'm going to try and grab every single one if it's the last thing I do.

Eels. You'll probably recognise the "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues" song.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Try "Gold Lion"...

Zakk Wylde

 

[Minister]

Elbow

Yes

Zero 7




I don't have any U's or X's either

 

[nipples]

I second Echo and the Bunnymen.

 

[Stigmata]

Hopkins is beautiful and calming.
Evil Nine is god damn awesome. "Crooked" is my new favourite song.
Zero 7 I haven't listened to enough, but it's really nice.
UNKLE is hit and miss, but the hits are really good.

Props to you guys so far, great suggestions. I'll be grabbing more tonight.

This is stuff that is either decent or great if you are into that genre:


Earth (drone metal) cool background music

Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians - ??Greatest hits or somit - this is like -indie folk pop rock-

Embrace Fire - EU indie rock (kinda like The Killers when they were starting out or somit)

Emperor (black metal)

Enslaved (black metal)

The Eagles - you like this already

Eric Clapton - classic rock & blues legend

Eagles of Death Metal (this is good if you like the genre) It's like hard pop rock. Like ZZ top meets Prince.


hold up. I could go on for hours, I'll just list a few


U2
UnderOath - Metal/Pop/Punk (crossover) *Recommended* IMO, skip their first album (1999) I really like this band

Xentrix - Classic Metal. great

Yes (classic rock)(never been into it personally)
Yyrkoon - Thrash Metal - great
Yardbirds (Oldies/Classic Rock)[EU] some of the greatest music ever made
Yellowcard Pop/Punk or somethin. Probably heard their singles. a few good songs


Ziggy Marley - Bob Marley's son nearly has his fathers voice (phenomenal) and style, but I don't care for most of Ziggy's writing and songs. He is still active, so you never know...


well, hope that helps

 

[Stigmata]

I'm pretty sure I'll like Eagles of Death Metal. I'm a huge, huge QOTSA fan, and the little I've heard of Eagles of Death Metal I liked.

And for the record (future pun intended), I'd prefer suggestions for bands/artists/groups that have good albums, not just a few good songs. I've never been one to listen to a single song by someone and leave it at that.
