I got an iPod... suggestions?

[SteppingRazor]

I'm a big fan of jam bands (Grateful Dead, Phish, etc.), punk (Ramones, Damned, etc.), modern indie rock, classic country (Cash, Haggard, etc.), alt-country (Whiskeytown, Ryan Adams, predecessors like Gram Parsons) and a lot of garage rock (stuff like The Strokes). But I will listen to anything and will take strongly worded suggestions from ANY genre (If you think I MUST HAVE the latest by 50 Cent or The Game, lemme know!)

So... what should I put in my iPod?

1. Try out a band named Clutch

They've been around for about 15 years now, and every one of their CDs seems to have a different influence to it. They're hard rock, but will infuse blues, funk, gospel, and country into their music. If you'd like a starting point with them, let me know. :-)

2. Mofro, Lyle Lovett, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane

oh...and throw in Johnny Cash Live at San Quenton.


Just for starters.

3. Slick Rick

The Art of Storytelling..

If it was easy to get to the CD it is what I would be listening to right now.

4. John Hiatt, Joan Osborne, Dwight Yoakam

Lots of way cool musicians: Richard Thompson, Bernie Worrell, Michael Stipe, Jack Bruce, John Lydon and some very obscure indie musicians, mostly notably Syd Straw

A few of my faves are Robbie Fulks, the Old 97's, the now-defunct Slobberbone :cry: and a band called Slick 57.
