I've been a hip hop head since I started collecting music and I don't stray too far from the genre often.

When I do I'm usually listening to some R.E.M. or Tragically Hip, sometimes some Radiohead as well..
I'm also into Pink Floyd, Our Lady Peace, Pearl Jam and some Kings of Leon..

Anyone have any suggestions of artists/bands similar to that style of music..?
I prefer mellow music over anything too heavy.

Thanks!

Do you want recent things or more classic choices?
I was just thinking the other day that the National are kind of the new REM. They have a new album out this month. Think you might like them based on those preferences. War on Drugs also have a nice take on melodic but wide-screen stadium sized rock that you might like. Think they also have a new one out at the moment. 😄

Haha. I read the URL before I saw the album cover. Thought you were recommending a band called Anal Diary. Doesn't sound very mellow!

Otherwise, most early REM derives its sound from The Feelies.

lol. Yeah, Anal Diary doesn't sound very fun. My diary is far cooler than that! lol

anyways, Guadalcanal Diary's sound is heavily influenced by REM, and the most like REM I've heard. Will have to check that For Squirrels album though. I LOVED early REM right up until Green. Green's sort of where they lost me. That Shiny Happy People is my version of hell. that and that Stand song. I hate those songs. lol
