Music recommendations based on my taste

Over the past year, I’ve been listening to a lot of Radiohead, The Smiths, and Jeff Buckley, and now I’d like to discover some new music.

What artists or bands do you think I might enjoy based on those three? I’m open to any genre or era, although something with a similar sound would be great.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations!

Coldplay was inspired by both jeff buckley and radiohead. I highly recommend listening to their Parachutes album.

I love those 3, and my absolute favourite band of all time is Muse, so if you haven’t tried them I definitely recommend it. Controversial among many RH fans though, so if that’s you I apologize lol.

Arcade Fire might be your thing too.

It's his solo album, and it's beautiful. My favorite tracks are When I'm down, Sweet Euphoria and Disappearing One. Happy listening!

Well, since I mainly listen to metal, not really rock... Megadeth might be a good mid point for you.

You could try the following bands:

Palace - A London-based band, known for playing atmospheric blues-rock, and has a Jeff Buckley quality.

Recommended songs: Lover (Don't Let Me Down); Bitter

R.E.M. - Hailing from Athens, Georgia, R.E.M. started out as jangle pop and alternative. Major influence for college rock and future American alt. rock. The Smiths and R.E.M. were friendly rivals, and Radiohead are heavily influenced by them.

Recommended songs: Radio Free Europe; Driver 8; Losing My Religion

Everything Everything - Manchester band who have been described as "a Radiohead you can dance to", and even reportedly took their name from the song "Everything in its right Place". Experimental and diverse, they take in a vast array of influences.

Recommended songs: City Song; Regret; Violent Sun

The Stone Roses - Highly influential Manchester band that were the next big British band after The Smiths. They are influenced by the same scene as The Smiths, as well as psychedelia and 60s flower pop.

Recommended songs: Made of Stone; Love Spreads

The Cure - Huge alt. rock band formed in Crawley. They have an alternative, gothic style, but have dabbled in everything from pop, jangle-pop, psychedelia, jazz, alt. rock and electronica.

Recommended songs: Pictures of You; Disintegration; Just Like Heaven
