Just kidding. We all know Elvis is still alive.

So, I've been looking around and finding stuff to dig on, and I've come up with this list. There have been additions and omissions aplenty, so it shall verily be judged upon its own terms.

Afghan Wings Albert King Amon Duul II At the Drive-In B.B. King Beck Black Flag Black Sabbath Bob Dylan Bruce Springsteen Buddy Guy Butthole Surfers Can Cannonball Aderley David Bowie Dead Kennedys Death Cab for Cutie Devo Dinosaur Jr. Dropkick Murphys Duke Ellington Elvis Costello Fugazi Gang of Four Genesis Guided by Voices Harry Nilsson Herbie Hancock Husker Du Jaco Pastorius Jeff Buckley John Lennon Johnny Cash Joy Division King Crimson Kraftwerk Led Zeppelin Leonard Cohen Lou Reed Love Mastodon MC5 Meat Puppets Metallica Miles Davis Minor Threat Minutemen Mogwai Muse My Bloody Valentine New Order New York Dolls Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Nick Drake Nirvana Oingo Boingo Pavement Pearl Jam Peter Gabriel Pixies Placebo Porcupine Tree Portishead Queen R.E.M.

Wire

Yes

I've omitted classical composers out of economy, not out of dislike.

Well I recommended Funkadelic in your last thread and I'll recommend them again ;)

You like jazz from what I saw with Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, Cannonball Adderley, Stanley Clarke, Duke Ellington, Jaco Pastorius, and Herbie Hancock on your list... so I'll recommend Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil, Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch, anything Clifford Brown and any of his albums with Max Roach especially, Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth, Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come, Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder, and Grant Green's Idle Moments.

I'd recommend you some hip-hop but honestly I don't think it'd be your thing... even though I do like a lot of the artists on your list and like hip-hop as well.

:DWhen the Kite String Pops is totally ****** awesome. And so is Paegan Terrorist Tactics

I'm going to assume your list is related to these five random albums I'm going to list just because I can.

Cynic - Focus
Ahteist - Unquestionable Presence
Gorguts - Obscura
Demilich - Nespithe
Anata - The Conductor's Departure
