I’m relatively new to American/English music bands etc, but have been quite keen on trying on different Artists and groups.

2- Big Chill 2 CD soundtrack (wonderful compilation)
Pop/Rock:
1- U2 (one of my favorites)
2- Sting (Ditto above)
3- Celine Dion
4- Best of Phil Collins
5- Michael Jackson
6- Madonna
Fraudia recommended me quite few the other day in chatroom, could you please list them here as well Fraudia?
I personally don’t like teenage idols like Britney Spears or Backstreet Boys stuff. I also tend to not like some of the harsh-on-the-ears stuff like heavy metal but would try some if there is some selective good stuff out there.
I’m interested more in some of the mature and established bands like U2 etc. So what are you recommendations? Also, it would be good if you could recommend the specific CDs of those bands instead of just the band name.
the other day, the band Creed was also complimented in the chatroom.
-Creed has had 2 albums released during the past 3 yrs. Their latest album (& their earlier one) are really good!!
In the store, if you get hte chance, listen to the tracks before you buy it. It can be…heavy wrt the guitar usage (but i like it…) & their acoustic tracks are jsut as good.
Get the Def Lepard Greatest Hits CD: “Vault”
um,i kinda want some ‘music recommendations’ when it comes to hip-hop/rnb… i might be wrong, but guys, DMX’s cd(s) is good, right??
Get Sting's new album "Brand New Day." And try bands like Bush and Savage Garden (There first album.)
Kohal, do you know Creed is a christian band. I was surprised the first time heard from a friend.
