Any recommendations?? Tell me who I'm sleeping on..

I realized while I was answering a post on rock voices, that I haven't really been able to 'get into' much of the modern "rock" scene. I'm much more into soul and hip hop, but I can get down with older 'white' artists (can i say white? smile ) like Mellencamp, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, Def Leppard, some GunsNRosestype stuff sometimes. So who should be on my list of new/recent artists to check out?

...for some recent reference, I'm feelin what I've heard from Puddle of Mudd

'preciate the help, my brethren..

imnotsayinthis
just2bnasty

check out:
ladytron
self
jeff buckley
rufus wainwright

i don't exactly know how to describe the first two. ladytron is kind of like early 80's synth pop meets electronica meets the 1999 album. self is a great group from tennessee who list p as an influence...right down to them coevering (not sampling) the backwards message on darling nikki...buckley and wainwright are just great artists and you shouldn't be missing out on them.

Some of the RnB young acts 2day got FRESH music and it ain't nothing like you hear out there:

Syleena Johnson-If you like Angela Winbush then you'll like this one.

Jaguar Wright-If you like Millie Jackson then you'll like this one too.

Thats all I could think of right now

Maroon 5 is the best new band I've heard in a LONG time! Their cd hasn't left my player in a month, and I bought it on one song, "Harder to Breathe."

I agree. Finally, a rock band with some soul to boot.

TK and Mos Def could save hip-hop if they'd get their asses in the studio and crank out a new LP. Okay . . . that's an overstatement, but it's about time.

I liked Ms. Dynamite's stuff. As well as The Roots and Common (who, along with Mos and Talib, I consider to be the greatest MC out today).

Well hey, since you're from Philly then you aslo might as well check Kinderd The Family Soul. I'm not really that crazy about Philly's artist cuz most of them sounds the same(they either want to be Jill or D'Angelo thats it) but Jag, Bilal & Kinderd are def got my support nod
