I have decided to broaden my listening horizons, I am currently into mostly Punk, Metal, and Hardcore, however, I am interested in anything except rap, or country. I know the Godfather has some very strong opinions of music he listens to. So here is a thread for people to recommend some "must have" bands for their specific musical tastes. Not only does this apply to must have bands, but also must have albums. I consider myself a very open minded person when it comes to music (I just see no talent in rap, and I don't care much for most of the messages rap portrays). I'll start.
My favorite Band is Alkaline Trio
Favorite Albums by Alkaline Trio: "Maybe I'll Catch Fire" & "From Here to Infirmary"
I also VERY VERY VERY strongly recommend a band called The Old Canes, they only have one album out "Early Morning Hymns" I believe that this album is an absolutely fantastic addition to anybody who enjoys music's collection. I have yet to find someone who I've played this CD for, who didn't start tapping their feet within a few minutes. Please, take the time to open me (and anyone else who is interested) up to your favorite music.
