Dunno man I really don't like Linkin Park, I don't think I have heard any of their "Minutes to Midnight" album. Out of all NU metal all I can say that I dig are SOAD, but I am sure you have heard them so I won't recommend them to ya. All I can say is to check out maybe:

1) HELMET - "Meantime"
2) FAITH NO MORE - "Angle Dust"
3) FEAR FACTORY - "Soul of a New Machine"
4) FUDGE TUNNEL - "Hate Songs in E Minor"

thats about as close as I can go without recommending you some utter crap.

Minutes to Midnight was a complete change of direction for them. I dont even think it qualifies as nu-metal anymore. You should take a listen to songs like "Little Things Give you Away" or "Leave Out All The Rest". SOAD is a completely different type of music.

Right, i want to go on a boxset shop soonish. I'd like some reccomendations for good boxsets for..

Reggae
Dub (I'll probably go Trojan for those 2, specific ones for these would be great though)
Motown
And maybe anything else anyone could reccomend!

right-track · 07-20-2008, 06:53 AM

If it's Motown you want and providing they still do it...go for the Motown Story.
Apart from the standard classics, there's artist commentary in-between tracks.

ShumanTheHuman · 07-20-2008, 07:02 AM

I'm been lastfming Kurdish and Iranian classical and folk music recently. Any suggestions (artists/cds/boxsets/dvds etc) to start me on the right track?

@Luke

Amazon.com: The Motown Story, Vol. 1: The Sixties: Various Artists: Music

There it is on CD ^

You could splash out on the original 1970 vinyl boxset, but you won't find a better Motown collection than this...it's all you need.

Hi guys,
can you recommend me good singers/guitarists that sound like John Mayer or Jason Mraz?
Looking for laid back, easy strumming types, with a touch of jazz here and there.

Or maybe something like Johnathan Rice or Tyler Hilton.
Thanks in advance!
