First you might want to start with which bands you know and like already so that others know what your tastes are. Otherwise some on here might recommend some really obscure stuff that might leave your head scratching. I know you said it's for everyone and not just you but it's still a good idea to state what you like already so we know your tastes(and the same could apply to anyone responding).

(Multitasking, and I move at a snail's pace, so I prepared this post before seeing AFlowerKingCrimson's post).
Bored already and you had only joined 12 hours before. Wait until you've been here 15 years -- it will make the boredom you're feeling now seem positively invigorating by comparison. What's easy for some to get into and will hold their attention will not be easy for others to get into. The best recommendations tend to be personalised, I find. If you were to create a topic taking about your general tastes and attitudes in Welcome Newbies it would help to get to know more about what interests you. Well, as I see you gave ELP's Brain Salad Surgery five stars, but I won't try to recommend something that sounds the same. When I first read your description before giving it any thought, Caravan's Land of Grey and Pink came immediately to mind, and sometimes I find it better not to second guess myself and overthink things (mostly because big thinking give me big headache). |

I would say Kid A by Radiohead. If you can't get into that then I can't help you. No seriously though two that came to my mind are The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other by Van der Graaf Generator and One Size Fits All by Frank Zappa.

I am enjoying this form of recommending music...where you don’t know what the recipient goes for.
It rather ends up like this free space where I can lump together completely different sounding artists and albums More recs for someone (here I am specifically thinking of people who love pickles): Catapilla - Changes Waste Of Space Orchestra - Syntheosis Cervello - Melos Secret Oyster - Sea Son Nya Ljydbolaget - s/t Supersister - Iskander Tonton Macoute - s/t Semiramis - Dedicato a Frazz Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood Wolfgang Bock - Cycles Moulettes - Preternatural Flower Travellin’ Band - Satori Carol Of Harvest - s/t Ulver - Perdition City Vangelis - Earth Edited by Guldbamsen - March 18 2020 at 06:10 |

Hi,
I do not like to make recommendations much ... as I usually say ... you will be missing the far out seconds of "discovery" when you go from someone else's thoughts ... you are not them and they are not you, and suggestions are suggestions and may help, but in general finding something that fits your own taste is difficult, because those tastes are about you, not the suggestions. In the old days, we even bought the albums without knowing anything and we found all kinds of music that we still appreciate ... it wasn't perfect but it was far out to find neat things ... try it ... you might like it!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
