The Runaways are an AWESOME band

It's an all female group and they were popular in the 80's.

Some of their songs:

Cherry Bomb, Neon Angels On The Road To Ruin, Queens of Noise, etc.

Trust me YOU WILL LOVE THEM!

I've only heard one Tears for Fears song (that I know of), Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and it's pretty good. Which album of theirs would recommend buying most?

I'd weigh in with The Hurting, as it's their first album, and it does reference parental/child conflicts and addresses primal scream therapy as a way of coming to terms with them. It's in an indirect way, (I don't think you'll feel preached to) but pretty fascinating. Of course, greatest hits albums are always a good way to go, which I think is called Tears Roll Down.

The Zombies are another really good English band from the 60's. I've always liked them.

I've decided to make it my mission this holiday season to listen to as many new bands as I possibly can.

Find any good music that I can add to my collection? Genre doesn't really matter, as long as it's not country or rap.

You know… Tears for Fears is a great 80s band and I have recently discovered their album Elemental. It's quite good.

BTW The album was done by Roand Orzabal after Curt Smith left the band, but Roland released it under TFF name.

Beatles trivia: The name was taken from the Primal Therapy by Arthur Janov, ...

Thanks all for the suggestions- I really am getting into Elvis Costello, Cream, The Velvet Underground (I'm in love with 'Sunday Morning&#39 Florence + the Machine, and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. I think I might have to go on a buying spree after this.StarWisher said:

I really like Arctic Monkeys, and Alex Turner's side band The Last Shadow Puppets are really good, too. Florence + The Machine's album is really good.

When you say new, do you mean actively recording and being formed within the last 5 – 10 years, or new to you?

If you mean older music, I'd suggest ...

I have to tell you guys about Cornershop. They're a really swell English band with fantastic elements of classical indian and sitars. They had a hit a few years back with 'Brimful of Asha', but there's loads more to them than that.

Beatles-wise, they did a great cover of Norwegian Wood, with the lyrics in Punjabi, and a cover of Mean Mr Mustard and Polythene Pam.

I second that, Cornershop are fantastic. That cover isn't them at their best. Handcream for a Generation, their 2004 album, was mindblowing.

At the moment, I'm ...

Depends on what you like. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are a pretty funky band that are getting a little bit more popular.

I keep intending to check out the Dap Kings, and I suppose I really should. Your say-so means a lot, since you and I are the most vocal funk fans on this board! (A friend keeps recommending them, and he dislikes most current sounds nearly as much as me; but he works on the fringes of the industry and still gets enthusiastic over select things.)

Yeah they're pretty good, check this ...

Well, I've known this band for a long time, but not many people listen to them anymore so: Blue Oyster Cult.

These guys are amazing. I'm on the lamb, but I ain't no sheep is easily their best song.

BOC are one of my alltime faves! Most of their current fame is a result of that "More Cowbell!" thing. And as for "I'm On The Lamb...", it's one of their most-recorded tracks - they retitled it "The Red and The Black" and redid it on their seconds album.
