*only a few minutes of the song. Actual songs clock in at 15 minutes.

A lot of the stuff I listen to has already been mentioned so I'm going on a different route. Check out http://muxtape.com/ It is a website where people can make a mixtape, post it up, and they appear randomly on the home page. It is a great way to find random music you may never of listened too.

Oh, I also suggest Rasputina- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfSpkKx3PzU
The outside royalty- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnG7FABdAZc
Diablo Swing Orchesta- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad-l54T_kYY
Le Tigre- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU1CDSP7FRk
Los Campacinos- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc4GethJnBg...feature=related
Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4

May I also recommend Rick Astley?

SR-71 is more new age punk-rock, but it's really good. That might just be me (I have real trouble making out most lyrics, so I listen to the music more) but I like it.

Nightwish: Can't recommend it enough. The new stuff isn't nearly as epic and is more poppy, but it's quite good. Rock-orchestra.

Celldweller: This guy has been playing for over 30 years in various different projects, changing whenever he wants a new style. It's not techno or dance or rock, but more of a blend.

The black mages: Instrumental songs, primarily from final fantasy. Rock-orchestra.

Demon hunter: Christian metal, but decent Christian metal.

Enomine (Or E Nomine): Well, it's supposed to be German christian techno from muslims imitating non-christians, but it doesn't come out that way. Maybe more if you understand german.

Emilie Autumn: Victorian Industrial music.

SOilwork: Metal. But not scream metal, almost all clean lyrics, and they actually play well.

The veronicas: Do I really need to say more? (I'm surprised it took them this long to get nude shots put on the net.)

Woah, thanks again guys. I need to get off this craptastic computer at work and get home so I can actually get all of this.

Ok, I'm slowly (but surely) working through your suggestions. I got through Sham's post and I'm liking what I've got so far

Of course you do, Sham's post is like 90% classics, heh.

Salvation listens to the music I pretty much do.

@Salvation: Have you tried Empyrium or Ulver?

Empyrium: Die Schwäne Im Schilf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU6xbklqAZc...feature=related

And another, a stupid video though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF7VbSzTwAI...feature=related And another, I love the video as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWxowSRc7Ec...feature=related

Ulver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh1DESIA8ls...feature=related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNyIWBCFq5Y...feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97XFWOqU7X4...feature=related

Hmm, I browsed around, and I did like some of Empyrium's older stuff (Wintersunset-related). Nomnom doom.

Wintersun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnhdJVh9iIY
I didn't realize I'd left out my favourite group, heh. Also check Winter Madness. Death and the Healing if you dislike the ballshredding above.

Wasn't Wintersun... owait, I think I've seen them. Hideous pronounciation but the music saves it.

And sadness and hate - the ambiance is so great, until...
"But why did you had to fly so far, I raged and it tore me apart.."

I can taunt them because they're Finnish and the Finnish are known to have awful pronounciation.


All in all, they're alright.

Well, their slower songs tend to be -tad- too long, and I agree that several of their lyrics are hilarious because of their subpar english... but I mainly like them because they've got all the right riffs with none of the pointless wankery.
