So, I listen to my music at work. After two years, of essentially the same music, I need to change it up. I've got a load of money on iTunes gift cards, so I can accept new artists I don't have. Anyway, here is what is on the phone. Bolded is they aren't leaving my phone.
Andromeda - Manifest Tyranny (I have had all of the albums. Extension of the Wish may work it's way back)
Cascada - Selected songs from Evacuate the Dancefloor, Every Time We Touch, Original Me and Perfect Day
Cynic - Carbon-Based Anatomy
Dream Theater - Studio discography+Live at the Marquee (A Dramatic Turn of Events, Images and Words, Awake, Falling into Infinity)
Gentle Giant - Studio discography+Playing the Fool (Octopus, Free Hand, The Power and the Glory, Gentle Giant)
Gordian Knot - Emergent and s/t. I'm tempted to take it off, but I fucking love both of these albums. They're so awesome, but I don't want to overdo it. Which I probably already have
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Soundtrack - it's fun
Iron Maiden - Select songs from Brave New World, The Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Piece of Mind.
James LaBrie - Static Impulse
King Crimson - Discipline, ITCOTCK, In the Wake of Poseidon, Three of a Perfect Pair
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Select songs from Let's Face it
The Police - A greatest hit's I got as a gift. It's good, but I could do with a break from them. Or put on actual albums (Synchronicity maybe?)
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (album) and The Blind House and Time Flies
Riverside - Anno Domino High Definition and Rapid Eye Movement
Rush - Tom Sawyer, Limelight, YYZ
Spock's Beard - Thoughts, Edge of the Inbetween and The Emperor's Clothes
Dream Theater, Gentle Giant and King Crimson take up the most space on my phone. So, here's what I'm thinking...
basically, if it wasn't bolded, it can go. I need a break from progressive at the moment. Those bolded albums I would never need a break from.
Suggestions?
edit:
I'm not as huge into metal as I once was. I'm more into rock (hence all the prog stuff). I guess the more rock oriented the better. I really only dislike Country music and some more extreme forms of metal.
A brief description of the type of music the band you're suggesting would be HUGE

I feel like I have a lot of metal/hard rock. I need a bit more rock and maybe another jazz album so Coltrane is balanced. Bitches Brew or Kind of Blue? This makes me happy. I think I could get used to this
