i like all types of music, but never been into country
Ive always been into hard rock and alternative music
(favs are gnr, pearl jam, dave matthews band, nin, etc...)

lately.. been digging songs like uncle kracker's rendition of drift away and follow me..

what are some other recommendations along the same vein?

Triple S

According to music crack you might enjoy:

Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
Daniel Powder - Bad Day
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
James Blunt - You're Beautiful
Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me

Sorry.

(Also, if you're doing some sort of thing where you're going thru the history of Alternative music, watch out for Crazytown. They'll sneak up on ya.)

the first one that came to mind is Hangin Around by the counting crows.

twikoff

maroon 5, powder, avril, blunt, and sixpence would have been the last to come to mind.. and wont make my playlist

stupid music crack! sounds like its pushing recent pop

ive always liked crows but dont remember hangin around.. ill check it out

civiclx

cool...I'm not a huge Uncle Kracker fan but I did download Follow Me and Drift Away on Itunes. I also liked Dobie's version

Michael Corvin

I'm going to go with Silverchair's Young Modern album, even Diorama. They've come a long way from being Pearl Jam also-rans.

These suggestions of avril, maroon 5 are so far gone i dunno what this music crack is but ignor it. Country music classics:

JOhnny Cash
Dolly Parton
Bob Dylan
Willy Nelson
Tanya Tucker
Dixie Chicks

for starters . . .

i dont think im trying to get into country.. typically i do my best to avoid it..

i believe what im looking for is more along the lines of southern rock?

The Bus

Kings of Leon?

orangecrush

Have you tried Pandora.com? They are very good at giving songs similar to the one you enter.

Triple S

Kings of Leon is a terrific selection. You can also try Rilo Kiley and Wilco.

civiclx

lol what a coincidence you mention kings of leon. I have never EVER heard of them in my entire life and I was browsing eil.com which has a crazy selection of imported cds. Well I was browsing through some Dido stuff and I think there was a Mexican promo featuring a song byyyyy....whoooooooo...THAT'S RIGHT...Colplay!!!

no I mean kings of leon. that's crazy

twickoff I'm assuming you've heard of Linnerd Skinerd? j/k lynyrd skynyrd...

Gdrlv

Old 97's wouldn't be a bad band for you to check out.

twikoff

yep, of course i have heard of skynyrd
i think i would be run out of the state of alabama if i hadnt

twikoff

recommendation on albums.. or songs with a hook to try?

civiclx

awww yes I'm sure you're required to be a skynyrd fan living down there lol do you like creedence? what about Bob Seger?

TGM

"Pussy Music" by Shit and the Crapmaster?

mndtrp

I can't vouch for the accuracy:

A3.

Trust me on this. Give a listen to "Peace in the Valley" from the "A Life Less Ordinary" soundtrack and then get in into more of their stuff. It's good stuff.

Imail724

etc? None of those bands are even remotely similar to each other

EdTheRipper

Kenny Chesney has a duet with Uncle Kracker called When the Sun Goes Down. You might like that one. In a similar vein, I'd suggest
311 - Amber
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

twikoff

at least someone noticed
i had originally typed in 2 or 3 more of my fav groups/artists.. but decided those wuld really seperate out the genres

twikoff

listening to some kings of leon now.. not bad..
so far like the bucket

and to expand on my original 'southern rock' list.. looking for most stuff like black crowes and edwin mccain.. and Im ok with it being obscure

wendersfan

Go with My Morning Jacket. Good Kentucky boys.

twikoff

nice
a couple of the songs from the darjeeling limited caught my attention, but i had forgotten to go back and look them up
