Might be just because I'm getting old, or because most music actually stopped being a sound and started being "a look" somewhere around the late 2000s (I blame the whole T4 thing and the brains that brought us Nick Grimshaw). Anyway, reasons aside...
I'm finding it hard to find new music.
I like to think I span the genres, taking in anything from The Stones, High Contrast, The Boss, Beastie Boys, Neneh Cherry, Radiohead, Prodigy, Pink Floyd, Dizzee Rascal, Urban Cookie Collective, - I've even listened to Phil Collins non-ironically.
The last album I bought was Air - Moon Safari (which I missed in the 90s).
The last "new" albums that I actually liked were Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See, and The Vaccines -Come Of Age.
So I'm hoping to kick this thread off and get some recommendations, not just for me, but a mutually beneficial thing. With youtube and spotify, no one needs to spend any money to check out new sounds, just need some new ideas.
All contributions welcome, I won't flame you if your favourite band is Haim. I just don't want to turn into someone who just listens to the same music over and over - I want to find the new sound
