I was just browsing this thread and gasped. Did someone just compare Lily fucking allen to Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald

^No need for the harsh tone. Geez. Don't like it, skip it and go on.

If you like acoustic/ soft music try...

Elliott Smith (though he tends to pack a punch usually)
Corey Crowder
City & Color
Nick Drake
A Fine Frenzy

I like this thread, more folk should add to it!

Drake ! He's a rapper and my lover(doesn't know it yet) and he's from your area too , T-Dot .

 

[Holy Rapture]

Someone tried Jay Sean ?

Any suggestions for where to go from Rasputina? They're one of my all-time favourite bands and I always find that things Amazon/iTunes Genius etc. recommends as 'similar' are not to my taste at all - Jack Off Jill, Scarling, Queenadreena, Dresden Dolls etc.

I've been listening to Emilie Autumn recently, but for all the things about her music I *do* like, there are an equal amount that are off-putting - she just seems like she's trying too hard, shouting too much, putting on too many melodramatic, silly voices and trying to appear deranged and wacky - not my cup of tea at all.

Okay, she has bloomers, corsets and can play a stringed instrument but I can't see that she has the thoughtfulness, humour or depth to be comparable to Rasputina at all. It's a long shot, but any ideas?

Thanks.
