listening to no doubts "return of saturn". anyone recommend something

[faithnotgreed]

similar or equally good? do any of their other cds truly compare at all? ive heard some other of their stuff which is good but only in bits & pieces.
im looking for something that has more than a couple good songs

i just cant listen to this cd too many times. theres really not a bad moment on it. its a different combination than most
sweet, compelling, honest, smart, melodic, and just good kickass beats
and then theres gwens voice.... i love "artificial sweetener"

thanks

fwiw
im a zeppelin, beatles, fleetwood mac, pearl jam, marvin gaye, chicago, elton john, jefferson airplane, csny, supertramp (ok major 70s alert)
deep forest, blue nile, sarah mclachlan, loreena mckennitt, some red hot chili peppers and beastie boys, doris day
mixed in mixed up person

1. If you like Deep Forest try Delerium

Much better than that No Doubt shit.

3. Hehe no prob

Sorry bout that, I REALLY hate No Doubt. :)

Have you heard anything by Twelve Girls Band? They're a group of young Chinese women that play traditional instruments and their stuff is a mix of pop, rock, New Age...it's really good.

4. cool - thanks again.

im usually one who isnt at all into the top 40 thing. since i grew up with older siblings thats where i got to listen to all the great 70s rock

but during the 80s i liked stuff like kate bush and early u2. they moved to selling out sometime during my college years, after unforgettable fire came out.

i just havent listened to much new in a long time. i dont watch mtv or anything like that so im listening to this stuff with no filter. just listening to what i enjoy. and i just loved this no doubt music but then i dont have any of their other stuff as i mentioned...

so thanks again for the recommendations... ill definitely check them out.
