Need Exciting Music! I'm stuck with the same collection I had sophomore year.

Anything and I mean anything is great! just list me your top 5 or so CDs or songs.

Oh and Alt Rock's my favorite.

Current new music that I love:
(band and then a song suggestion)
Hot Hot Heat - Goodnight Goodnight
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk
Cold War Kids - Hang Me Out to Dry
Snow Patrol - Hands Open
Moving Units - Going for Adds
The Bravery - Believe
Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko

They're all pretty different, maybe you'll find something you like? (I have all this music if you want me to make you a mix CD!)

Vampire Weekend is a let down... They are kinda lame for a band with such a kick ass name. But that song's okay and the other one they played when they were on SNL.

[hungrygh0sts]

I like Vampire Weekend....

[nackteziege]

I will second Hands Open and Le Disko. I don't know the others.
And One-Eighty By Summer by TBS below.

I'll give you a list later.

[some_person_11]

You know who my current favorite is... Lol. But I'll list anyway.

The Academy Is...-Neighbors
All Time Low-Coffee Shop Soundtrack
Fall Out Boy-Saturday
Queens of the Stone Age-Sick, Sick, Sick
Taking Back Sunday-One Eighty By Summer

But you should look into Pandora Radio at pandora.com. It's great. You type in a band you want and it suggests other artists/songs that sound similar and based on your votes on the songs, it fashions radio stations to how you want it/how you like them.

my cousin was talking about pandora to me yesterday! /end pointless observation

Hmm, alright. I thought this'd be easy, as I'd take my top 5 most played from iTunes, but unfortunately my library erased itself not long ago and nothing's been played more than 7 times. I'll try to feed you stuff you don't know already. Now you get more than you asked for.

First off, two words: Something Corporate. Hell, I'll give you five good ones from them alone [no particular order].
1) Straw Dog
2) Hurricane (The Formal Weather Pattern)
3) Me and the Moon
4) I Want to Save You
5) Konstantine
[You can't recommend SoCo without Konstantine.]

And uh, here's some random ones.

Augustana--All the Stars and Boulevards; Boston
The Spill Canvas--Break a Leg; Bound to Happen
[The former is remarkably sexual for a song I like so much.]
Anberlin--Godspeed; Alexithyma; Inevitable
Cute is What We Aim For--The Curse of Curves; Risque
[Even though I listen to it, most of this band's stuff I find ridiculously "high school"; the former isn't too terrible in this category, the latter is slightly.]
Dave Melillo--Knights of the Island Counter

You forgot Drunk Girl under SoCo and (for me) All Hail the Heartbreaker and The Tide under The Spill Canvas. Oh and There's a Class for This (and Moan... maybe?) under Cute Is What We Aim For.

But that's how I feel. And I second the Konstantine remark. Even though it's extremely long, give it a chance. The lyrics are amazing. Oh and Space and Punk Rock Princess by SoCo. Damn, I forgot how much I like that band...

[nackteziege]

Eh. I thought of you with Drunk Girl. I was giving her new Spill in case she's heard the old, but those two are definitely essential if you like them. I don't really like There's a Class for This, but Moan is okay.

Pretty much all SoCo just owns. Oh! Only Ashes. I like that one a lot. Becca, just go get a lot of SoCo. Lol.

[nackteziege]

And I thought of another. We the Kings. Just because you have to represent Bradenton, especially now when they're all up on TRL and The Hills.
