What Bands Are Good For Me?

I am a rap producer who is trying to be less one dimensional with my music and expand my horizon. I mainly listen to this artists:

  • Rick Ross
  • Kanye West
  • Lil Wayne
  • Wiz Khalifa
  • Nipsey Hussle
  • Asher Roth
  • Big Sean
  • Mac Miller
  • Young Jeezy
  • T.I.
  • Roscoe Dash
  • J Money/J Futuristic
  • many others....

I love listening to these artists but I want to branch out to other genres of music. I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA so I feel like a lot of my beats reflect where I'm from but I want to expand my musical influences away from that. I just want a few good bands/songs that could help me do that. I want bands/songs that I will continue to listen too and enjoy forever. Be honest I don't want crappy bands just some indy bands that make good, relevant music. Thanks in advance!

Between The Buried And Me: A progressive metal band. Really talented in terms of music theory and technical skill.
Songs I recommend: "Ants Of The Sky", "White Walls"

Novembre: Another progressive metal band, a little more ambient. Italian.
Songs I recommend: "Comedia", "The Promise", "Anaemia", "Gepetto"

Julien K: Industrial Metal Band
Songs I recommend: Only "Kick The Bass" and "Maestro"... really inspiring for Electronica flavor to your beats.

Rammstein: Pretty well known but German Metal band highly praised for creating "Tanz Metal".
Songs I recommend: "Feuer Frei", "Pussy", "Buch Dich", "Du Hast".

Travis: Alternative Rock band... really uplifting music.
Songs I recommend: "Sing", "Pipe Dreams", "Follow The Light"

Rage Against The Machine: Hardcore Alternative Rock Band. You either love them or hate them. I love em...
Songs I recommend: "Know Your Enemy", "Calm Like A Bomb", "Bulls On Parade", "Guerrilla Radio", "Wake Up"

Metallica: You already know hehe
Songs I recommend: "I disappear", "Fade To Black", "Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", pretty much anything. Just avoid St. Anger and Load(Including ReLoad)...

Megadeth: Thrash metal
Songs I recommend: "Blood Of Heroes", "Angry Again", "A Tout Le Monde", "Symphony Of Destruction"...

Ppl in here seem into Metal, but on the lighter rock side, try 311. They bring a ton of flavors, mixing up rap, rock, reggae, & funk. They were around before Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit n shit, too. Still sellin out shows year-round. Highly recommend Asian Dub Foundation, too - their albums "RAFI's Revenge" & "Community Music".

+1 to Muse, also.

For songwriting, try Pearl Jam.

Indie bands? Maybe some less-known ones, like My Morning Jacket, Minus The Bear..

Listen to classic rock, too. Shit was real back then..
