what is the best music to listen to?

It's my first time, ever on this webpage and it's my first ever time listening to the bands, you say you listen to.

Can someone tell who is the best band to listen to, please. I don't know were to start. The Rasmus got me started, were do i go from here?

      Would say anywhere but the Rasmus, but that's a bit late now.

      I vote you should get the second Brendan Besnon album, Lapalco.

        Well, the easy way to do it, and a rather handy hint...

        Click on a respectable drowned in sound.com user's name, see list of bands that the user rates. Those that they rate highly, may well be worth listening to ;) Then, click on the name of the band, take a visit to their webpage, they often have free downloads. If you like it, take a look out for their music for sale.

        What genius.

        Obviously, I rather think the bands that I rate as being good are worth listening to (thats because I'm me, and therefore like what I like) So I say listen to some of them. if one of them takes your fancy, then see what other people who rate the band highly also listen to. Oh gosh this website is clever!

        Just as a hint, don't listen to Funeral For a Friend. It's rather unpleasant.

    Um yes, what he said. Although if you don't like Siamese Dream there's something wrong somewhere (sorry, just kidding) *penguin grin*

      'Where do I start?'

      Get Nevermind by Nirvana. Good and important.
      If you like The Rasmus u'll prob like The Distillers and stuff like that too. Coral Fang is their latest album. Thats just a start though.

    What radio shows do you currently listen to?
    I've always found radio a good way to find out about new bands
    (the "start with Lamacq - move on to Peel - find local radio show that plays demos" progression)

          Haha...yeah, I had to resist that urge.
          Thought she might suss out within about two seconds of listening to Explosions that they are not particularly like The Rasmus though ;-)

        On a note that you might actually like Cat-Girl:

        Definitely check out EITS cos they slay so hard
        Try The Boxer Rebellion who supported The Rasmus on their last tour but are actually good (unlike The Rasmus)
        You might also like Oceansize, Rival Schools, Quicksand, Sparta, Cave In, At The Drive-In, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.

        None of those bands are particularly inaccessible, give em a try.

          It sounds to me like you would enjoy pretty much anything on Deathchant Records.
