Anything goes, from INXS, to Paramore, Fallout boy, to soundtracks and Now 69, even Mariah Carey!
I am fed up of all of my CD's and want some people to receommend me some good music to download.

Legally download, I do hope ;)

At the moment, I'd recommend:
1) Ash - Intergallactic Sonic 7's
2) Sublime - Sublime
3) Sublime - 40oz to Freedom
4) Feeder - Echo Park
5) Frank Sinatra - Best of

Come to think of it, you've probably got at least 3 or 4 of the above but I'd listen to them anyways!

Songs For Silverman - Ben Folds
Living in Clip - Ani DiFranco
My Aim is True - Elvis Costello

Plus search Hype Machine for examples from The Postal Service (particularly 'Such Great Heights'), Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Kweller, Benjamin Costello (no relation to the above) and Catie Curtis.

Aim - Cold Water Music lovely mix of electric mixes and hip hop beats plus you can play spot which film that little sound bytes was from. almost perfect all the way through.

For a bit of atmospheric rock try the Best of Pink Floyd Long tracks with long intros but worth the wait.

U2 Best of 1980-90 is pretty good too Some Classic Tracks on That!

Check erm out!

There's a ten year anniversary edition of that out next week i think :)

This album will be good and is definitely on my list to purchase. I 'know' most of the tracks of it but I like Steven and Laura Mary so I will be buying.

Blood red shoes Box of secrets (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Box-Secrets-Blood-Red-Shoes/dp/B0013F2LOY)

Also The Enemy, (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_m_h_/202-0810551-8322263?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=the+enemy) which was my favourite album of last year, is £4 there!

I've gone back to the Klaxons (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_m_h_/202-0810551-8322263?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=klaxons) a lot this past week as well

And for the BEST album ever (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_m_h_/202-0810551-8322263?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=parallel+lines) I think.

Ooh get on Amazon - three for your fifteen quid bargain!
HMV have got some right bargains for a fiver at the moment.

I'd highly recommend Mr A-Z by Jason Mraz - he's awesome. He was the support for James Blunt a couple of years ago and has also been at the Leadmill.

Radio 2 has got some good tunes on...quite a lot of variety:)

I'd also recommend Aim - Cold Water Music, its a great, varied, atmospheric album.

Or if you like it a little odder, Can - Anthology is brilliant. If you like that sort of stuff.

Oh and Back to Bedlam and All The Lost Souls by James Blunt - awesome (in my opinion of course).
