I need some ideas for new music to buy (or download)…what are your favorite songs/bands? I like pretty much everything 'cept country, rap and punk rock, but post whatever you want.

I’m not a good judge because the music I like isn’t very popular, but here are some favorites:
VNV Nation - Standing
VNV Nation - Beloved
Mesh - I Can’t Imagine How It Hurts
Mesh - Leave You Nothing
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (<-- one of the greatest songs of all time!)
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
Anything Box - Radio Static
Anything Box - Blue Little Rose
Anything Box - An Ending
Also, if you want to download, Anything Box has a free downloadable album on their web site called Binaraural Repeats, which is a compilation of their best songs of the past ten years. I highly recommend you give it a shot.
There is some pretty good indie stuff out there you can try too.
Right now I’m listening to:
- Rube Waddle - Hobo Train
- Idiot Flesh - Fancy
- Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - self titled
Anything by Sigur Ross!!! They’re just the best!
And, though I’m young, I’m still very old school. Go with the Beatles (definately Abbey Road), and the Doors.
Never-ending Story Theme–New Found Glory
Glory of Love–New Found Glory
The Beast–Concrete Blonde
Welcome to the Jungle–Guns N Roses
My Life–Bon Jovi
Jump Jive N Wail–Brian Setzer Orchestra
Tribute–Yanni(the whole album is good,actually)
Weekend in New England–Barry Manilow
Can you tell I have eclectic tastes in music?
Swan Lake! Just got the CD and though I hate ballet (like contortion acts the dancers make me squeamish) the music’s wonderful.
Anything by Sparklehorse, esp. Eyepennies and Cruel Sun
Other stuff I’ve been enjoying lately:
OK Go - Get Over it, What to Do, You’re so Damn’ Hot
Ben Kweller Sha Sha, Commerce, TX
Screaming Trees Trouble Times, All I Know
Pete Yorn Musicforthemorningafter
Let me second Sigur Ros.
My favorite band is Stereolab, but I’d have to say my favorite song of all time is either 96 Tears by ? and the Mysterions or St. James Infirmary as performed by Cab Calloway, depending on my mood…
interface2x, what about VNV’s Praise the Fallen?
After reading the other posts I feel like A teeny bopper.
*Nsync
O-Town
The Ramones
Blink 182

I’m a fan of Blondie, the Beatles, & Nine Inch Nails (Head Like a Hole is a favorite), as well as Ani DiFranco & Bob Marley. I’m getting into bluegrass - I like the songs I’ve heard off the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. Brushfire Fairytales, a CD by Jack Johnson, is brilliant.
…And I know you said no rap, but I LOVE “Rapper’s Delight”.
My favorite song is “Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin. Runner-up is “Sweet Thing” by Van Morrison.
