Thread: Tell Me About The Bands (Music Artists) You Like.

Racoon (Dutch band), Guus Meeuwis (Dutch artist), Paul de Leeuw (Dutch Artist), Michael Buble, Lionel Richie, Coldplay and ABBA.

And that's pretty much it... It's what I can think of anyways. There's probably more, but that's for another time.

Now, I'm looking for a a very happy-go-lucky artist or band, making (mostly) happy music (duh), music that just brings a smile to your face when you listen to it. I haven't found any yet, though. No metal or anything too-loud like that, please.

Oh! And I've been in romantic moods lately, so some romance-songs-focussing bands or artists would be great too!

CryoDragoon - happy/fun music:

Harmonium
Frank Zappa
Yann Tiersen
Jaga Jazzist
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Herbie Hancock
The Octopus Project
Bondage Fruit
Mats/Morgan Band

These are some of the bands i usually put on if i'm in a cheery mood want to listen to something fun and colourful.

I listen to just about any country singer/band/artist and I also like Nickelback.

Switchfoot
Snow patrol
David jordan
Mika
Sarah bareilles
Imogen heap
Kate voegele
Charlotte martin
Red jumpsuit apparatus
Mcfly!

and many more....

Ooooh. Thanks, man!

The moment I put on the music for a found harmonica by Penguin Cafe Orchestra (even the name made me snicker) I was like 'wtf'. But then the hopping melody came in and I had to keep myself from jumping out of my chair. I'm still smiling as I write this.

So here's a thumb for you (treasure this moment, as it is a rare occurence):


-CD


P.S. If someone has some more happy music, TELL ME TELL ME!!!


P.P.S. Folks, time for a strange culture... Here're some nice songs from the netherlands!

Lucky. Sadly, I don't have time nowadays (military college) to do anything and when I did have time, my rents wouldn't allow me to go to concerts I wanted to see, unless it was something they liked. :/ They thought my music was devil musik.

Hey, another Frisell fan! Do you like Naked City too?

Great guitarist, and thanks for the website.

I've never listened to Naked City but I'm looking them up right now. But Zorn and Frisell together! How could that not be good.

I've always been a real big Bass Desires fan. I'm hoping to play in a jazz combo at school with 2 guitars, bass and drums and try and play some covers. I really wanna play Samuri Hee-Haw.

EDIT:HOLY SHIT! Naked City is fucking awesome.

Zorn is the shit!

Damn right Naked City is awesome. My favourite band. I'm listening to them right now. I highly recommending grabbing the complete studio recordings off of the tzadik website. I've never come across another band where I literally can't separate any of their albums. And they're all so different, which makes it even more amazing. They all are as good as each other. Zorn is a genius, and every musician in that band does an amazing job.
