Music?

[stagg]

I want to listen to more music, I really like the song from the Gears of War commercial. I want more.. mellow? Music, I like rap, but I am getting bored. I'm getting bored listening to everything on MTV, and shit. I want more underground songs, but I do not want emo bands. No "Hellogoodbye" Or "Fallout Boy, or another pussy bands.

[TyBO]

If you want a rock band that's different, listen to The Fall.

If you want a genre that's different, listen to bebop, which is a type of jazz. Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Art Blakey (considered hardbop, which is basically bebop but at faster tempos), Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, etc, etc.

[lackofsense]

You mean this.

that was old music, I think.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IvjhTmAphdk
Simon and Garfunkel had a similar sound, but they are a bit more upbeat.

[SuperMegatron]

Peter Frampton

Frampton come alive hardly makes up for his appearance in Sgt. Peppers.

Mind narrowing it down a little darc?

[Ex-Cyber]

I think darc's list is a good starting point if you have any interest at all in the pseudo-genre of "classic rock". Particular such bands I'd recommend based on the video (presuming that lackofsense got the right one) would be Tears for Fears; Toto; Crosby, Stills Nash (and Young). As for songs I can think of a couple that don't necessarily fit with the overall style of the band but that you might like:

Grand Funk Railroad - I'm Your Captain / Closer to Home
Rise Against - Swing Life Away (actually a modern punk band, but there it is)
Styx - Boat on the River

[MulletMan13]

Try listening to Ben Folds and Ben Folds Five. Definately 'mellow' depending on the album. A ton of albums are out, so that should keep you busy for a while if you discover you like it.

[|darc|]

That Gears of War song is Mad World by Gary Jules, not the Tears for Fears version (which sucks). It's available on the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

[hearld500]

Cake.

....Tears for Fears version (which sucks)

heathen.

[S. Thompson]

Neil Young
Andrew Bird
The Shins
Carbon Leaf
Flook

- Fuzmeister

[Juan]

Judas Priest

[Luriden]

....Tears for Fears version (which sucks)

heathen.

[|darc|]

What? It does suck. Hard.

[MKE]

highly doubt it's what you want, but my 2 new favorite albums are Heaven Shall Burn's Deaf to Our Prayers, and Chimaira's Pass Out of Existence.

[Luriden]

The Click 5.

[SadisticSaviorX]

Minus The Bear / The Loved Ones / Audible / Strike Anywhere

[Ex-Cyber]

Thought of a couple other particular suggestions in the "mellow rock" vein:

Extreme - More Than Words
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

No idea how I neglected these before, heh.
