I'm struggling to think of any new CDs to get to add to my collection at the moment :( So am after a few suggestions!

Here's a list of some of artists in my collection so you can get some kind of idea of what i'd like:

Antony and the Johnsons
At the Drive-In
Audioslave
Beastie Boys
Blink 182
De La Soul
Deftones
Editors
Faithless
Foo Fighters
Franz Ferdinand
Interpol
Jose Gonzalez
Metallica
Muse
Pendulum
Pixies
Placebo
QoSTA
REM
RaTM
Sigur Ros
Sonic Youth
Stereophonics
The Hives
Prodigy
RHCP
The Roots
The White Stripes

That's about it, i only have about 60 CDs! :(

So any ideas on what i'm missing out on and should get?


Thanks

Linkin Park? - No :p
Gorillaz - They don't really interest me, in my opinion their stuff is aging fast

Can't say you will like all of these but here goes,

If you like Qotsa try some Kyuss, And the circus leaves town is IMO their best album, but Welcome to sky valley is also very goodas are all their albums, personally i prefer them to Qotsa.

As you like audioslave try soundgarden, then if you like them try tho other grunge bands, Alice in Chains, Pearl jam nirvana etc.

Give Mars volta a try, quite similar to ATDI in some ways.

Just because i'm listening to them now and they are very good try Pitchshifter, no idea if you will like it at all, but hey.

Pantera, hevaier than Metallica, but i prefer them.

For electronic stuff, try Dj Shadow, Plaid, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada, Portishead, Massive attack.

Try some of the stuff on hospital records, very different style of DnB to that of pendulum, but very, very good none the less, try the box set called hospitalised, go to a descent music shop and you should be able to pick it up for a tenner no problem, and for 3 drum and bass cd's that aint bad.

Well that should get you started :)

Oh bugger missed Tool, but CBS has mentioned them for me :D

Soundgarden are ok, but not really what i'm after right now, and i'd quite like to get newer music.

I might get the London Elektricity - Power Ballards album ;) heh, i think they're on Hospital records aren't they?

It's kind of difficult cause you don't have a specific taste, so I'm just relating stuff to what you already have.

I know, and my collection seems to be getting more and more random :D

I don't think it's a bad thing that my music tastes are broadening though :)

I'm yet to listen to it! It was only £1.99 as a pricing error!

Probably better to listen to your music first, to decide whether you actually want more stuff like it.

I know i'll like it, which is why i bought it :) I've heard several of the tracks, but never listened to the album fully.
 
Recently i've been concentrating more on building up my collection properly, rather than getting new music, which is why i'm after the help :)

For example, i've been buying up RCHP, Pixies, Beastie Boys albums in the last week or so (it's a bad habit tbh).
 
Right, so far i'm thinking: Incubus, Avenged Sevenfold, London Elektricity :)

Just trying to listen to samples of some of the other suggestions so i can see if i like them!
 
I have RATM :)

This Ratatat album isn't too bad tbh!


I did have a brief look in some high street stores, but half of them don't stock what i'm after :(
