So I've just bought a hundred tracks from spotify and feel I should broaden my musical horizons slightly.
I tend to like stuff with meaningful lyrics but am a sucker for a 'big sound' too.
I'm not keen on dance music, hip-hop or rap but I'll give anything outwith that a shot.
Go on. Educate me.
Ben Harper - quality acoustic guitar.
try:
Damien Dempsey
Ben Folds
Rufus Wainwright
Joe Jackson
O'Hooley & Tidow
Ben Howard
Charles Bradley & Menahan Street Band
City and Colour
Woodkid
The new Jack White album - Blunderbuss is pretty good
Nina Nesbitt
Sparky and the Dead Billies
Hillbilly Moon Explosion and Sparky
Demented are Go

...should entertain if your you're a lyrics man
Paul Simon - Rhythm of the Saints
Tracks that fit the bill:
The Obvious Child

I need to go out and do some bike fettling now but will check these out shortly.
Ta much and keep em coming.
'Everything Everything' are worth a listen.

End of thread.
Glitter and Doom Live is not a bad place to start
peace to all lifeforms 🙂

& O'Hare[/url]
Black Keys - El Camino
fab album
Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen we are floating in space
Lupine Howl - The Carnivorous Lunar Activities of Lupine Howl. Carnival... Floats my boat every time. Although Vaporizer is an excellent opener.
If you want heavier and less meaningful (!) try Airbourne..
A bit of Easyworld, sadly they are no more.
But we still have David Ford on his own, what an awesome songwriter (turn it up loud for big noise):
Kelly Joe Phelps
Drive By Truckers
Teenage Fanclub
