Recommend me music! I'm open to pretty much anything, and I'm going on a trip this week so I want stuff to be able to listen to while riding there. I like mostly rock music and indie and some rap.

    Ratatat, Minus The Bear, Of Montreal, Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, The Unicorns, and Voxtrot is basically the majority of the english stuff that I've been listening to this past week or two.

    The stones, of course.

    Also, Stellar Road. Small time Chicago band but they have good stuff and do shitloads of life shows around the city in bars and stuff. If you can get the chance, go see them sometime, it's worth it.

    Whats with all the little-knowns D:

    Go for some Muse, alot of their stuff is damn slow, but some of their songs are totally epic.
    eg.
    Citizen erased - My god, the opening, just... my god
    Hysteria - Main rift, will make you want to fly kick a granny because you can
    Sunburn - Very pleasant piano intro, nice bass
    Muscle museum - A good one, though not as good
    Exo-politics - Nice drive
    Supermassive black hole - Some electro for good mix
    The Small print - Along the lines of Hysteria, without the lady crushing

    Because we'd rather not suggest bands like Green day which have sold out.

    Some of my favorite road-tripping music is stuff that creates a fabric of characters and interactions become revealed as you listen to the songs several times. The best examples of this are The Hold Steady (Lifter Puller, the band that became the Hold Steady, is even better for this, but is hard to find. Is there a way to check to see what is available with a Zune Pass?) and The Streets' second album, A Grand Don't Come For Free.

    Already have Disintegration, Agaetis Byrjun, Either/Or, everything by Radiohead but nothing else on that list. I've heard some of Mechanical Animals and actually right before I read this I downloaded Ziggy Stardust off it. Not feelin much rap right now but I've been lsitening to the Verve a lot so I'll grab that and Urban Hymns.

    Edit: I think I've got enough guys. Thanks for all the recs!

    Just because they "sold-out" doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to them.
    I just despise their music.

    Popularity or money making should have nothing to do with it.

    On another note, a song i found yesterday wich I'm enjoying:
    Polyamorous - Breaking Benjamin

    J5 are really great for just chilling out, I find, and "Swing Set" off quality control is the happiest piece of music ever recorded,

    If you can, find some Cap'n Jazz. They make some serious driving music.
    Specifically, Analphabetapolothology Disc 1.
