Current fav song (not metal/rock)

I blame JOOE on this one..... I friggin love this song. The chorus is just delicious.

My work here is done.

But yeah, for a long, long time I've been searching for bands who have a similar sound to Boards of Canada who are effectively my favourite band in many ways. Strangely enough their specific sound seems quite rare aside from some Aphex Twin and an artists called Tycho who go some way in replicating what I like about BoC. Last night I stumbled on a band called Christ. Let's just say it's the first time I ever said that I believe in Christ and probably the closest I'm ever going to get to BoC's sound:

Probably this one:


Pure Reason Revolution's last (literally) album is far from being metal and it also strays a little bit from rock for most of it. Still great though.

Yea, today I got hooked on some stupid summer-saturday-night-out-party song by Pitbull and Marc Anthony - Rain Over Me. It's stupid, I don't really get that Pitbull guy but I know he's all over scene nowadays, but the part Marc Anthony is singing is so damn catchy and I just can't get it out of my head so I had to donwload the song and listen to it like gazillion times, cause that's the only thing that really works for me

Re-discovered this one a few days ago

Ok, does anyone remember this one? I've been playing it once in a few for the past weeks, it's just so.... nostalgic and catchy!Har har!

Oh yea and this is what reminded me of it....

See, even THIS GUY thinks it's awesome

Been these songs for the past while.

Gets me every time, such a nice and sad song.

I don't listen to anything except metal/rock since 2008... Oh well, before that, I used to like Akon's "Sorry Blame It On Me", "Lonely" and "Baby I'm Back", Ne-Yo's "So Sick" (I HATE THE JB COVER FOR THIS ONE) and Gnals Barkleys "Crazy". But it's too time ago, I don't even know if I spelled the songs/Artists correctly. I still like these songs, they bring me good feelings of the old days but I don't listen to them more...

Guess what? I'm going to listen for them right now! Oh, the good old times...

Spoon?:

Apart from Does it offend you yeah, these guys have been on my playlists as well.

Discovered this band while shopping for my brother. Really good Underground local Hip-Hop band



Hip-Hop deserves more bands like this to bring the style back on the right path.

I seriously can't tell why, but this cheesy wanna-be vampire crap has been on replay for well over half an hour now...



Wished they played this stuff at the local clubs...

I am loving this Punjabi song brothers!!!

Nice, a new band for me

I don't know where they fit in for musical styles. I would say maybe classical and ambient electronic music.

I prefer this:

These guys have been impressing me to no end:

This song is really old but still kicks ass in my opinion. enjoy!

And I really love almost all Pink Floyd stuff, especially the albums: Dark Side of the Moon, The Division Bell and Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

Procol Harum, Pink Floyd or Muse are still rock bands; I for one consider Peter Gabriel as rock (even prog rock for that matter). This thread is supposed to be not metal/not rock.

I am a whinny party pooper, i know, i just couldn't help myself

'nuff said.

now you are rude...

actually it doesn't , it's still rock music to my years, it ain't pop.

it ain't pop.

... I'm confused. I think you're confusing pop with dance music. Peter Gabriel may have some proggier rock moments, but on the whole he's always been identified as a pop artist.

Again, maybe your idea of general pop is most of the modern dance/synth pop on the radio.
