Title: Buying a Zune, will arrive after Christmas
Post by: ELEVENNNN on November 25, 2007, 07:56:03 AM
I bought a Zune online for 100.00 US (They normally go for 200 US or like 150 on ebay) and got a good deal.  But I have an ipod 2gb right now with about 180 songs and I'm too picky but I dont want to have a 30gb player with only 200 songs so I need some suggestions on good music.  I love rock, specifically progressive (bands like tool, a perfect circle, staind are a few).  You guys have some suggestions for me, i'm to picky so I'll listen to anything thats in english and give it a shot.

Instrumentals are fine.  What do you guys think?
I like stuff that doesnt talk about demons and darkness by the way :|

keep in mind that this list is very eclectic and it's not meant to match the bands you mentioned ;)

Well... i don't search anymore for "similar" music. Most times i did it i have been disappointed by results.
I like APC too, but more than liking what they share with Tool, i like what they don't.
Having a look at this (http://www.music-map.com/tool.html), you won't find that much matching your question IMO (lots of great bands there, anyway).
The only band i would tell sharing similar mood and problems and sound (except for voice) in that map is Opeth, for which i can suggest Blackwater Park (although i know only an half of their discography).
Another at-any-degree similar band is the czeck Animé, which you can listen to (http://www.sendspace.com/file/7zcbl0). I'm not advising them, it's just an answer to your query.

If you want to listen to something different, with very heavy feelings, try Sunwar the dead, by Elend. You need a good hi-fi, but it can crush your spirit. It's like someone who is having not a happy day without making me think about youth problems (which most bands do). Something you will love or hate.

On the genre Tcube advices, i liked "Melody A.M." a lot, by Röyksopp.

Checking out Opeth (heard some) I think apc is sort of weak compred to tool and also I dont listen to alot of their songs because they are blatantly defiant to christianity with songs like 'Judtih' but still some of it is good.

As far as czeck Anime, I got this nice little messsage:

Sorry, the free service is at full capacity. 
  I'll wait it out or try again tomorrow.

I laughed at what Foggy said unless he was serious, then I'm sad ;| Opeth, hmm..

Edit: Wow Rejetto you were right so far, all of it is fairly complex thus far, thanks.
