If you're just getting into rock music, you might check out Rolling Stone's various lists of the 100 greatest artists/albums etc. It's not definitive, but it's a good starting place to get a lot of the essentials. You may also check out the Music Lists pages on Digital Dream Door. I've found tons of great stuff there.

 
Great list! Basically, I've always just listened to the radio or news or whatever, but now am enjoying music more, and am looking for some good artists. Thanks, I googled the list, and am listening to some of  the artists on Spotify now.

Awesome, a new tech n9ne fan! You can preorder his new mixtape "Klusterfuk" at strangemusicinc.net and get a signed copy

I like  all types of music the spotify, and related artists. I found Slightly Stoopid, Advett Brothers, Mac Miller, Band of Heathens, Mumfords and Son, etc through that. I really enjoy their album,

Give the blues a run. Go way old school and look up some Son House. Also try some John Lee Hooker. If you liked Jimmy Hendrix, check out his "blues" album.

Ive been an avid tech fan for about 9 years now, and really, really hope he comes through with klusterfuk..  Im hoping 'blur' isnt on it, because content-wise, it is IMO one of his weakest tracks.  I have high hopes for the ep, but if it is like 'blur' Im afraid I wont be purchasing it 

 
Sorry for the off-topic, carry on.

Sorry for the continued slight off topic, but yeah I agree, Blur was not that great. The rap was fine, but felt really mainstream, and the beat really did put the image of being drunk throwing up at a party in my head, the weezing electronic wobble sound and blurry/smudged vocals, eww! Tech's rap goes hard on there though, so I don't hate the track, but the play button will not see much use from me on that one, and hopefully the whole EP is not like that.

BTW, I notice he hasn't been mentioned, but I'd recommend Bob Dylan. Of all the popular music of the 20th Century, nobody had as big of an affect on me, personally, than Dylan. Every time I return to him it's riveting. Though for newbies it may take some getting used to his "bad" (in the classic sense) singing. Most consider Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde, and Blood on the Tracks his best. I personally love the unique John Wesley Harding, as well as his newer albums. Time out of Mind is one of the most intense albums ever.

Also wanted to throw out Nirvana- Nevermind and if you liked Jimi Hendrix, you may like Funkadelic, my favorite album being Maggot Brain.

Similar to Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin is:
 
- Cream (only 3 studio albums before they broke up, features the famous guitarist Eric Clapton)
- The Who ("Who's Next" is the most popular studio album, "Live at Leeds" is one of their best)
 
BTW, I always look for things that several otherwise unconnected people recommend, so I will check out "tech n9ne" since several people who just happened to read this thread already like it.

 

[jtaylor991]

Something more recent (if you don't wanna buy his tracks lol), you can hear him here:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00r_-tQfM3k
 
He's the third verse, starts at 2:08
Insane, huh?!
If you liek his other stuff you probably like this, but it might not necessarily be the other way around, so don't judge if you're a fan solely on this but yeah great track and verse. My favorites (albums) were All 6s and 7s (tracks Strangeland and Technicians are my faves, and he has a video for Mama Nem on youtube) and K.O.D., but that one is very dark and may not suit you. Everready was a good album of what hip hop enthusiasts would call "bangers", especially Caribou Lou, what a classic

I know the black girl that was spinning fire in the video haha, I believe it was shot here in MN, cool stuff.  TT is garbage but tech and twista came with it.  I already cut TT out of it and have a twista and tech version

 

[jtaylor991]

Nice! I want it XD
But is it in FLAC? lol

No, its low quality, in all honesty I probably wont even listen to it again due to the bitrate.  When I can get my hands on a 320 or flac of the original song Ill do something up though

 

[jtaylor991]

Yeah I figured that and was JK, but yeah maybe it'll end up on an album that I get on CD someday and I'll rip it in FLAC and then we might have something to work with.
