Definitely rap and hip-hop. Rap is misunderstood these days, thanks to wankstas like 50 Cent.

My top D&B go to guy would be the amazing LTJ Bukem. He has sevral cool D&B mix cd's out...most notable ones would be The Progression Sessions series with MC Conrad and the Earth Series. Al try Producer 01 and Journey Inwards. Other cool D&B artists are Goldie, Roni Size & Reprezent, DJ DB, DJ Dara, DJ Dieselboy, Source Direct, Fauna Flash, Alex Reese....for Break beats try The Freestylers, The Wiseguys, Stunton Warriors. Hope you like these bands...they are all amazing...also big ups for liking Massive Attack...they are my favourit band of all time. Mezznine is a masterpiece never to be forgotten!

anything by cky.  They are my favorite band to listen to during work-outs.  Their latest: "An Answer can be Found" is really good, but so are their older albums.  Very good, interesting beats that aren't anything like what's on the radio right now.

Underground rock music is rock music played by bands that aren't in the mainstream. Their fans are generally made up of people who like all of their songs and not just a single. Their music doesn't exactly fit into what mainstream society (radio, Mtv, etc.) are listening to.

I recently found a band called Ka'Nal.  They are great, and I know that there is a live show available for free download on Archives.com.  They incorporate sounds from a lot of different cultures.

I like listening to hip hop when I'm exercising. It's upbeat and rhythmic. Good songs to exercise to are Rompe remix by Daddy Yankee, What You Know by TI, Grillz by Nelly.

Try cdbaby.com they have tons of indie music! And you can hear samples of the tunes before you buy.\n \nI'm from the NW, and some hot indie bands around here are Twice Baked, Mars Retrieval Unit, High Ceiling. You may have to look for their webpages for cd's? I don't know for sure.\n\nWhat kind of music do you like? All three of these are more alternative than most "alternative" bands.
