    I listen to a lot of genres, from Hip Hop to Classical. I am an Eclectic person in almost every phase of my life. I am looking to build on my music library.I will def rep if I can at this point. I am not sure if I can or not.:confused:

    I am primarily looking for non mainstream, artists who are not popular now but they will be down the line.

    I will refer to you to the ”rap nowadays” thread, ”r&b/baby making music” thread and ”what are you listening to” thread.

    As far as metal goes, it's Meshuggah then everyone else. They won't sound good to you unless you like the genre, and even then they take some time to get used to.

    If elite jazz musicians decided to play metal, you would get Meshuggah. Polyrythms ftw.

    Third Eye Blind has faded from the limelight, but there pretty good if you like alternative, alternative rock.(yes, 2 alternatives.)

    Go to the hip hop thread if you're into that, that's stuff's pretty good. Immortal Technique mixtapes have some of the coldest lines I've ever heard.
