Yes, but its old stuff from an era he probably never listened too.

If one is looking for the dreamy melodic sound of floyd and genesis one should avoid ELP imo, they're too much a circus.

can't go wrong with Frank Zappa.

he'll make you laugh.

Hmmm, maybe they are to "epic" you are right...they have some nice dreamy passages. Moody Blues are just right though. they sound a lot like Floyd's early releases like "A Saucerfull of Secrets" and "Meddle". They had an amazing album called "In Search for the Lost Chord" if i remember. Quite "hippy" sounding at times though...lol...

cd's

Coldplay - Parachutes
Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlantism

some stuff from Explosions in the sky, it's an instrumental band. I like Your Hand In Mine.

+2

If you like them check out "I'm Not a Gun". John Tejada's prog rock side proj. almost all instrumental

daivd bowie, simply red, depeche mode (although theyre not EDM they are an electronic rock band), some marylin manson (in perticular his Mechanical Animals album), placebo, seal, the smiths, sting, tears for fears, some U2 (achtung baby & joshua tree), stereo mc's (alot of their stuff is housy but its pretty much hip hop), and rage against the machine

tried to keep it diverse but theres loads and loads more. explore and find what fits your taste.

what difference does it make if an artist is mainstream or not?

Originally posted by RapidFire what difference does it make if an artist is mainstream or not? good music is good music

I thought that he asked for "intelligent" "non-poppy" music, not for "general good music". Oh and Marilyn Manson is not good music...


But its all a matter of taste in the end.

well he did say "I'm looking for a bit of everything". and although some of those have made their mark on the mainstream i assure theyve all made "intelligent" music.

i suggest you give Mechanical Animals a listen. his newer stuff is shit but that album is brilliant glam/hard rock.

Try some classical.... good for the mind.

Well some of them...the majority having an I.Q. of around 30-70, yes most of them are "autistic" unfortunately! (Exception is depeche mode, david bowie and U2 who had some 70s-80s "bright moments"!)



And marilyn manson plays bloody new-metal which is the worst metal genre that ever existed...and mechanical animals is a terrible, terrible album and i can assure you with terribly low I.Q.

But its a matter of defining "intelligence" then

what about is of "low i.q." exactly? and that record has nothing to do with nu-metal. alternative, industrial and glam- yeah. but not nu-metal

Circa Survive
The Mars Volta
Dredg

prog rock bands...

hey whats up with the sig lol

It's been said before but I'll re-iterate... Go for some classical. Listen to Beethoven then some Mozart. Compare the two styles like you would two different EDM tracks from two different producers. Pay attention to things like composition, structure, and tempo. When you're done with your "fasting" of EDM, pick up some of your favorite EDM tracks. When you feel you need to "fast" again. Compare your EDM to the classical.

Then you may become truly enlightened.

lol, you guys are talking like I've never heard anything but EDM in my life. I already know most of the suggestions posted so far, but I still very much appreciate them. And for the record, I'm very familiar with both these composers, and I hate them both. Tsaicowski and Brahams are the shiznit

I wasn't implying that at all. Which is why I also suggest doing a "compare and contrast" on the music you used to listen to most predominantly before your epiphany with EDM.
