Well it all depends on what you like i guess...
When i was skating for santa cruz back in 96 and went to live in london for a while, i became good friends with a guy called rob gallagher who was a quite famous acid house DJ, he was in a band called Galliano, that started the acid jazz/funk movement.
They fused trad jazz with dub reggae beats, with beatnik style spoken word hip hop, to create some awesome songs..Most of their songs have a light hearted feeling with amusing anecdotes/lyrics that will make you smile..
ALl of their albums are still regularly found spinning in my car or house...Great party chillout music too.

When they eventually split, Rob gallagher went on to create a pseudo personality called Earl Zinger, who again, maintains everything that these guys were all about back in the day...creating great, very catchy music with hooks that you'll be humming n singing for wks, with his amusing comical mc'ing...altho Earl Zinger is more electronicy, it is still acid jazz fused dub hip hop or rnb...I got this on now, and iwill be singing it for wks now.

Rob also has another band called Two banks of Four, which is a collaboration with other Uk musicians..and once again theyre frickin awesome.
He's a man who knows his music history, and has honed his own craft to perfection.

Also, if you like something a lil folky, theres a quite cool band called circulus, who are a bunch of pagan fruitloops, but they have a great sound...kind of a more upto date version of the music from the wicker man.

If you like a lil bit of RnR or swing, have you checked out royal crown revue, indigo swing, big bad voodoo daddy, lavay smith and the red hot skillet lickers, dem brooklyn bums..

Or if you like indie hip hop, how about la coka nostra, non phixion, army of the pharoahs, jedi mind tricks, celph titled, ra the rugged man, immortal technique, q-unique, 7L, esoteric. King syze.

I'll creat an account online, and post a few albums there, then paste ya the link so you can DL and check it out.
If i post the login details too, you can add some of your own stuff,but please make a folder for your stuff and do it in WMA format so we make the most of the free 25GB storage.

anything mike patton is great while baked. Mr.Bungle - California is a great album. Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery, Polka Dot Cadaver - Purgatory Dance Party those are both amazing albums. they are like metal bands with insane alternate time signatures and instrumentals, great smoking music. Queens of the Stone age is also good stuff.

listen to some like blink 182 and throw in some cypress hil and some trippy youtube vids
Did you read what the OP was even looking for?

Aside from that Explosions In the Sky is very mellow and melodic. They don't do any singing but they having amazing atmospheric rock. They did most of the soundtrack for Friday Night Lights if you're familiar. Or Radiohead's "Ok Computer" album is a great introduction to that band.

Portishead, the originator of trip-hop, is great to chill to. Check out "Roads".

And my new favorites these days are: My Morning Jacket, teaching us that classic rock mixed with whiskey and weed is never faux pas; Minus the Bear, with catchy pop riffs and punk stylings; and The Raconteurs, busting out classic Jack White rock and roll.

If you're into electronic music, Aphex Twin. Too trippy for me unless im stoned.

Good luck, tell me if you end up liking anything.
