*waves hello to Scott for the first time*

The two best bands I can think of to recommend to you are; The Delgados and Queens Of The Stone Age.
QOTSA is one of my favorite bands. Not only do they have a great sound, but they also have a sense of fun, and don't take themselves too seriously.

Well, those are the best I could think of in the taste range of your list.
If you want me to recommend to any outside that range, let me know.

A pox upon thee woman! Johnny Cash is and always has been the king.

Though I must say that none of us can claim a lack of Rob Halfred in our lives.

beh, Elvis learned everything about attitude from Cash. Cash rocked harder and longer than anyone. Old fatty's rokken days ended the second Col. Parker got a hold of him.

And he wore black because he was a bad-ass, not because he was some Norwegean death metal pansy over-compensating for being European.

Cash is a god, bow before your better, child.

Elvis was the 50s version of Justin Timberlake.

Eminem is today's Elvis.

Everyone should experience William Shatner's latest audio work, "Has Been". Truly, he will be the Elvis of the 23rd century.

Really, it's probably a lot better than you think it is.

On a different note, a CD that a friend loaned to me recently and I listened to quite often during my October cross-country vacation, is "Long Distance" by a group called Ivy. I don't think it's a CD for the ages, or one that's head and shoulders above the rest, but it is very listenable and gets into your head so that you're humming the songs later without even realizing it.

Mike Doughty's latest 2-disk album, Skittish/Rockity Roll, won't leave my CD player. It's been hogging it up for the last two weeks. I keep trying to put something else in but Doughty keep going back in for more. These songs are mostly him and a guitar, so if you're looking for Soul Coughing part 2 go elsewhere.

While I'm here I should hype a couple of independents: Blu Sanders from Texas and Granian from New Jersey. Good stuff.

I have some pretty strong feelings about music, and in response to Scott's enquiry, I'd be glad to share some recommendations. If you're interested in delicate melodies somewhere between Simon and Garfunkel and depression era bluegrass, Iron and Wine retains my interest pretty well ("Our Endless Numbered Days", "The Creek Drank the Cradle", and the "Woman King" EP). For things along the lines of Radiohead (experimental electronic pop), I would suggest Notwist's "Neon Golden" (very eclectic with very interesting song structures) and Ms John Soda's "No P or D" (kind of IDM, one of my favorite CDs). Low's last handful of albums are indispensible ("The Great Destroyer", "Trust", and "Secret Name") a very slow burn group, stellar songwriting, when they grow on you it's hard to shake. Piano Magic's "Low Birth Weight" and "The Troubled Sleep of Piano Magic" are fantastic, mostly rhythm based songwriting with some Disco Inferno (the group, not the song) and Cocteau Twins influences. I've enjoyed a lot of songs from the group Cyann and Ben, but not everything (what is good is great though.)

Finally, Broadcast (which is really the only pop group on the extremely experimental WARP label) is wonderful. Graceful distracted singing over 60sish drumwork and "psychadelic" melodies (inspired by The United States of America, I think, maybe some Jefferson Airplane.) Their three albums are all worth looking for.

I love all of these and hope some of you look them up.

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but I believe the most accomplished album ever written was Operation:Mindcrime by Queensryche. You have to listen to this at least twice, preferrably on headphones at full volume. And read the lyrics if you can. This has been my favorite album since the day it came out. My tastes have fluctuated over the years, from Metallica to Maiden to Rush to Thin Lizzy to Fleetwood Mac and Rod Stewart (check out Footloose and Fancy Free, it will make you cry like a girl), but through all the years, this one album has been my constant companion. I cannot put it down.

PS It seems to really appeal to nerds, with the complex arrangements and heaping loads of conspiracy theory/symbolism/whodunnit/political thriller piled on there. No description can do it justice, it must be heard to be understood.

Also, these guys are really good.

Yeah, it's probably a good time to add something to the music suggestion topic. I've recently been listening to Kate Bush's "Aerial" over and over and over.
