I originally made this in M&A but got no response.

Ever since MediaFire pulled most of there stuff I haven't downloaded anything and I'm pretty bored of what I have now, and can't even remember where to start to find music.

For riding to, I like a lot of the early Stones, Harlem, Wolf Mother, Death from Above 1979, Pacewon, No Age, Black Keys are alright, anything quick pasted with a good vibe to it. And If I’m feeling funky then Talking Heads, or straight Janice Joplin and stuff like that.

For just listening on head phones while I walk to class or to the store, chilling with a girl or alone in the car I like Mouse Mouse, Mattafix, Dr. Dog, Real Estate, Local Natives, Youth Lagoon is okay, StarFucker, Arctic Monkeys, The Beets, Bonobo, Blitzen Trapper Andrew Jackson Jihad, Elliott Brood Atmosphere, Pacewon, New Pornographers are ok, Tin Sparrow, Saintseneca, Tom Petty, ect. Macklemore more just for the funny songs.

And In the car with all the homies driving somewhere usually They know I have a don't listen to a lot of hip hop and rap except in the car with them so they do an alright job of playing something cool we will all like but Its all stuff like WuTang, Icecube, Mac Dre who I think is alright but not my favorite, Biggie, Tupac, Nas, Common Market, Blue Scholars, Method Man, Red man, Atmosphere, Gorillaz,

The Biggest thing I'm looking for Is stuff to ride to, So if you have contributions there that would be awesome.

I'm not too keen on dubstep, electric, dance, and most rap/hip hop besides whats mentioned, but If you have something you think I'd like by all means post it up.

Thank you!
 
For more rock stuff, check out the band Love. They were playing around the same era as some of the bands you mentioned and definitely have some grea,t really enjoyable tunes. Particularly stuff off their Forever Changes album.

If you like reggae/fusion type stuff check out Long Beach Dub Allstars (Wonders of the World album). A lot of people usually dig that when they first hear it, it's fun, easy going, energetic. If you like reggae beats check out Augustus Pablo and Lee "Scratch" Perry.

For beats, electronica type stuff. Definitely check out Heavenly Beat.

Lykke Li? She's gorgeous, makes wonderful music, and has a unique and ethereal voice.

If you like chillwave/real mellow stuff (I like it for drives, writing, artwork) check out: Beach House, Tycho, Tommy Guerrero, Cults, Washed Out, Maths Times Joy, and the Mushroom Jazz compilations by DJ Mark Farina. If you like that stuff I can suggest other bands or you can youtube them and sidebar your way to heaven.

One of my personal favorites going right now in that department is Youth

Lagoon. Really beautiful stuff. He's a young kid, check him out.

For pumped up electronica, dance type stuff: (this is NOT dubstep) Christoph Andersson, I Heart Sharks, Grum, Mylo, Miami Horror, Sneaky Sound System. Maybe La Roux too?

For hip-hop... I imagine you've heard of these people but: Kevin Brown, J Dilla, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, D'Angelo, Memphis Bleek, Fat Pat, Del The Funkee Homosapien, MF Doom...

I got some more troves of stuff to share if you dig what I've sugggested so far.

Enjoy!
 
If you like bonobo check out Emancipator and Tycho

well, you like the same kind of music I do, so here are just a few songs from bands I think you'd maybe be into (dont want to link bomb this thread though haha)

Mando Diao - check them out, their older stuff is gold

The Bronx

Fu Manchu

The Soundtrack of our Lives

hope you'll like some of it, hit me up if you want more :)

 
For Funky fun shit this band Dan Reed Network is pretty sweet and its pretty obscure so not many people know about him.

Its like a mix of Hair metal, funk, and blues. If Bon Jovi, and Michael Jackson had a love child basically .

 
damn hipster hahaGhostland Observatory, Phantogram, Joy FOrmidable, Metric, Emanuel and the Fear, grouplove...

I was going to change my name to Icecream or Pie or something just for you, but it hasnt been 30 days.

All the suggestions have been great so far. One of these days I'll post youtube videos as examples of things I like
