Nine Lives Music
What kind of music would you want to expose a "music novice" to?

I've got a list of bands / singers that I think are essential ... but I don't want it to be overwhelming ... are there any good bands or even individual songs you can recommend ... for, say, a 15-year-old boy who's not too hip and has a crappy life but needs to be exposed to some good music?

Oasis
Pantera
Fall Out Boy
Jack Johnson
Nirvana
Prince
Rage Against The Machine
Henry Rollins
Sheryl Crow
Snow Patrol
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Pearl Jam
Beatles
Foo Fighters
Tenacious D
Smashing Pumpkins
The Cardigans
The Beach Boys
The Dandy Warhols
The Shins
The Killers
Nine Inch Nails
Beck

... can you think of anything else that might be stellar? Consider that a smaller MP3 player (4 GB or maybe 8 GB) can only hold so much ... THANKS!

depends on your taste....

Led Zepplin - just plain amazing
Pink Floyd - sooooooooo awesome, like deep
Black Sabbath - awesome, most of the time
Mudhoney - you mentioned a couple grunge bands, try them...
AC/DC - great guitars...
the Clash - good classic punk
Bob Marley - for those who like reggae
Billie Holiday, Coltrain, etc.... - old classic blues
Spyro Gyra - smooth jazz....

again, it really depends on your taste. good luck In the wonderful world of music
