I need new music!

[Ethan_Kaizer]

Okay, so I listen to almost anything these days - I love upbeat rock like Franz Ferdinand, I like classical piano, I like some hard rock/classical rock, techno, etc. Basically I listen to anything but rap/hip hop or metal.

I've exhausted the 3000+ songs in my iTunes. Please, recommend stuff to me, anything, and I'll see if I like it. Just throw ideas out there!

I am into classic rock and the eighties. You can't go wrong either way.

The Eagles
Def Leppard
Duran Duran
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Lynard Skynard
Boston
Kansas
Journey
Foreigner
Starship (Jefferson Starship/Jefferson Airplane)
Genesis/Phil Collins
The Police/Sting
Poison
Aerosmith
Van Halen

How many more do you want...?

Anything by:

Pearl Jam

I also listen to a lot of random stuff... Jewel, Norah Jones, Regina Spektor, Jack Johnson, John Lennon, No Doubt, White Zombie, Rob Zombie, ZZ Top, CCR, etc.
