MUSIC HEADS GET IN HERE!!! lol

[Floydness]

hey, well heres the deal, im kinda looking to get into some new music because it seems like i always listen to the same stuff over and over again... i have a pretty open mind toward music and i was wondering if any of u guys have something chill to listen to.. i love rock (pink floyd, led zepplin, nirvana, jimi hendrix, the doors, guns n roses, NOFX, AFI, etc.) and i like rap too...  i love music with meaningful lyrics so im not really  into lil john and all that shit... i was also wondering if u guys know of something thats a cross between jazz and rock or some interesting rap..any suggestions would be appreciated... thanks

[ecrazy]

Here are some suggestions of some groups/Bands im feeling at the moment

The CMA
Crown City Rockers
Blood Brothers
Mindless Self Indulgence
Nas
Murs
Acid Reign
When All Else Fails, listen to some classic hip hop/Rock/Punk Rock
Old skool AFI
Millencollin
No Doubt
VooDoo Glow Skulls
etc.

You Would Prob. Like Some Underground Hip Hop - Living Legends, CMA, etc. - 2mex, Project Blowed, Acidf Reign, Visionaries, Jroz, etc...

Hope this kinda helped you
