    I have a few more to add that are VERY worth checking out (i'll limit b/c i could suggest a ton)

    First....July For Kings...their album SWIM and the new downloads on the site. The lead singer runs the site,etc. nice guy.

    Second..I just started listening to Course of Nature...

    I've had the cd for a long time but I should have started listening sooner

    hmm...also Die Trying....a mix of BLink & Good Charlotte but much better.

    Also...an old group...Shades Apart and Splender...very good overall cds.....

    Im quite late to this party...

    But Splender was great! Too bad they never broke...and now they're broken up. Both of their albums were fabulous...

    Sorry for reviving this topic..Carry on...

    The Newest Silverchair caught me by suprise. More melodic than i'd ever thought they could be. Also Dream i checked out all those on AMG and man they gave them crummy reviews. (i bet they are still good albums....some of my favorite albums are the one's the critics hate)

    Dave Davies solo work from the Kinks also is quite good.

    All music's reviews dont seem to match up their star ratings sometimes. I was reading a review for the New Tesla album...and it sounds like a 4-5 star review....yet it has 3 stars. Weird. They also say on there..that PM Dawn's best cd..was Jesus Wept...yet the first cd has the higher star rating...

    Strange.

    I try to go by what i hear, or word of mouth. Your right, a lot of times review are definatly not as strong as the albums.

    Lol, most of the bands I like aren't always well known, but have really strong albums. Give them a try, I think you'd be surprised.

    Hi all...I am always on the lookout for new music recommendations, and I will try to give all of the artists mentioned a try. I have also gotten a few new CDs recently that I would like to recommend.

    I have been in a very retro mood recently, so I have been listening to new releases by many of the rock groups that I liked in the 80s & early 90s. I just got the following CDs and love them

    Collideoscope---By Living Colour

    Tribe---By Queensryche

    Train Of Thought---By Dream Theater

    Also, for anyone who likes Blues, I highly recommend an artist called Keb' Mo'....I have been totally diggin' his stuff.

    In more recent music, I love the new Train CD "My Private Nation"...I especially love the current single from this album...."Calling All Angels!"

    Hope you like them if you decide to check them out!

    Peace,
    Poetdude

    The Living Colour album is outstanding. I have had it for awhile. I can't understand why it didn't garner a little more attention.

    The Wildhearts first US release in 10 years "Riff After Riff" came out today. It's quite good. Their overseas release "The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed" is an excellent cd as well.

    The new tesla album (first in ten years) "Into the Now" is great. They were always a great ROCK band.

    The New Push Starts (alt Pop band from Boston) is a great listen as well...

    So much good music...

    I've had a lot of friends tell me Dream Theater is really good.

    The Train album IS really good. My best friend is bigfan & i'm just getting into the cd myself....my fav right is I'm About To Come Alive.

    Word of mouth is a great way to get into new stuff you may have never uncovered ion your own.

    My fiance likes Tesla i'll have to make a mention of the new album to her. I enjoy the last full length from the Counting Crows-Hard Candy. Just good music for damn fine lyrics....

    I really started to get into them on This Desert Life. I hadn't realized what i was missing up until then. I consider Adam to be one of the better songwriters in our time. Fushion of great music and lyrics with a poet-esque sort of feel. Gotta dig on it.....

    I like the counting crows too! I saw them in concert last july, and they were awesome!

    Any fans of MAtchbox 20? They are another of my faves!!!

    Yeah, Counting Crows are really great in concert. I saw them on their Hard Candy Tour. I loved the 3 albums up through This Desert Life, and I liked Hard Candy OK. It had good songs and all, but not every song was really strong like the first 3 albums. But I agree with you Lum, Adam is one of the best songwriters of our time.
    I just don't end up where think I'm going when I start out.

    I find Matchbox 20 to be a little bland (sorry!). That sounds kinda mean, I know. And I'm sure the guys in the band are nice, but I usually just don't feel their music the way I feel Counting Crows.

    No need to apologize here Liz. We all connect with whatever music touches us, and if you don't connect with something, then you just don't, that's all! But that does not mean your opinion is wrong or bad. I love them because they speak to experiences that I have been through. And your experiences have been different from mine, so you obviously don't get the same thing from their music as I do, and that's OK! I love many of the artist that I have seen you mention here. So it is only natural that we may disagree on a few too!

    Peace

    I've never been able to get into counting crows, just not digging his voice

    And thats what i love about our forum..most of the time we can just choose to disagree but also find out about some great new or artists we didn't know we liked

    the thing about counting crows to me is the lyrics, man they write some good songs. "Butterfly in Reverse" is awesome
