I am looking for some new music to listen to. My favourite groups/artists are The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Eagles, Simon and Garfunkel, John Denver, and Billy Joel. I've listened to bits of the more famous bands like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, etc.
I'm hoping that somebody will know of a music artist I will enjoy. I can't say I enjoy metal at all. Something with a melody, a bit of harmony, and ideally a piano/keyboard presence. Thanks, and if you are looking for a simlar music recommendation, feel free to post it!

That. In particular ... Beach Boys fans might also appreciate this from Animal Collective. Good discussion and other examples were in the "Pop Music of yesterday vs. Pop Music of Today" thread starting about here. Surell got me hooked on Animal Collective back in June in that thread and I've been checking out a lot of other, similar/related bands since then. Lots of good stuff out there, contrary to popular belief. Based on your list of bands you like (down to and including John Denver), you sound like you have extremely similar musical tastes as me, so I might be your go-to guy at this point on recent musical recommendations.

New music now, or a past artist that you haven't mention which would be new to you? Well I'll do my best and try to answer both.
I take it that you already know these bands, but if you haven't I think starting off with their greatest hits - imo they're well worth it.

Heavily Spaced | Each Other
Kinda sounds old-timey. Vocalist sounds a little bit like Mike Love from The Beach Boys. |

How about Harry Nilsson? Everyone can use a little Nilsson in their life.

Thank-you. After reading a bit about Tame Impala, I noticed that Parker stated his main influence is one of my Mom's favourite bands: Supertramp.

I've heard of almost all of the older groups you mentioned, but I've never really listened to them, with the exceptions of a bit of The Byrds, The Kinks, Chicago and Jim Croce. And I'd heard of none of the newer groups with the exceptions of First Aid Kit and The Wallflowers. Thanks, and I'll definitely give them all a listen.

I've heard a bit of Each Other, and I quite like.
The only thing I've heard by Nilsson is his cover of You Can't Do That, which was pretty cool. Thanks for all the recommendations!
