Assume I have literally no music. Recommend me some si vous plait

If you must mention a band (as in "Check out Cold Play, they're awesome"), tell me a song or two to download from them. I don't wanna have to go through someone's entire discography to find the one song you are thinking of. I like electronic music like Fatboy Slim and the song Addicted to Bass by Puretone, and classic rock like Rush and AC/DC, but I'm pretty open to most stuff. I don't like most rap, but I make an exception for stuff that is pretty melodic such as the song Without Me by Eminem and Fergielicious by Fergie. I also dislike most country (anything super-twangy is a no-go), but every now and then something comes out of left field and surprises me so don't let that deter you.
Thanks guys :)

You should look into "Does It Offend You, Yeah?". I've been addicted to them for going on 2 years now, and cannot find a single fault in their debut album "You Have No Idea What You've Gotten Yourself Into". 

Guns n' Roses (Paradise City, Garden of Eden)
Hide with Spread Beaver (Rocket Dive, Bacteria)
Zilch (Electric Cucumber, Space Monkey Punks From Japan)

Green Day - Pulling Teeth
Flogging Molly - Float
Toadies - Possum Kingdom
Limp Bizkit - Creamer (Radio is Dead)
Metallica - Hero of the Day
NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Johnny Horton - Sink The Bismark


What can I say? I have varied tastes.  

Thanks for the quick responses, I'm loving what I've had the chance to listen to so far. I need to fill my MP3 player with legitimately downloaded music and these suggestions are good!

heres some "Melodic" hip hop for you:
(Don't) Run Out On Me - Count Bass D
Massage Situation - Flying Lotus
Show Me the Good Life - Blu & Exile
It's No Secret - MF Grimm
Triple Double - Ohmega Watts

Starting now the next 5 randomly chosen songs by my Winamp player with the music I have on my computer.

Faith No More - Epic
Metallica - Thorn Within
Garth Brooks Shameless (Best if you have had a few beers and have your girl with you)
Gravity Kills - Personal Jesus (One of the best covers of the song)
Queen (with David Bowie) - Under Pressure

"Starting now the next 5 randomly chosen songs by my Winamp player with the music I have on my computer.

Talib Kweli - Get By, Hostile Gospel (Rap)
A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour, 1nce Again (Rap)
Tech N9ne - Slacker, Imma Tell (Rap)
Rage Against the Machine - Sleep Now in the Fire, Wake Up (Metal)

Gorillaz - Kids With Guns, Clint Eastwood (Trip Hop)
Muse - Time is Running Out, Butterflies and Hurricanes (Rock)

I gave you some more accessible rap artists/songs. You will most likely enjoy a lot, if not most, of these songs if you like a more melodic type.

the night - disturbed
lotus eater - opeth
blackest eyes - porcupine tree
snuff- slipknot
big me - foo fighters
disarm - smashing pumpkins

my favorite band You, Me and Everyone We Know..get their songs, Carolina Heat, I Can Get Back Up Know, I'd Be More Interested if You Were Already Spoken for..Do It Again! You're Not Making Me Want to Touch You!....

the best thing about them is that they have two albums out..and you can get them both for free on there myspace..they dont charge for their music, which i think rocks

The Real Me-The Who

I'll just post two here so I'm not taking up too much space. Both are very different...
MSI- Shut Me Up

"I like electronic music like Fatboy Slim and the song Addicted to Bass by Puretone, and classic rock like Rush and AC/DC, but I'm pretty open to most stuff."

15 Steps- Radiohead
 
RadioHead is an amazing band if you like that song check out the album " In Rainbows" or " OK Computer" since there music should be on an album.

Radiohead (No Surprises, 15 Step)

Red you forgot Time is Running Out by Muse That. is a great song by them

How about something considered "World Music"?

Try Asa. Particularly the song(s) "Jailer" "360" or "Fire On The Mountain". I would say its going to be a lot different than anything anyone else has suggested or what you normally listen to based on some of the people you mentioned. She's really good though.

Screw everyone's music. Queens Of The Stone Age is the way to go.

You misspelled s'il vous plait. And I'd recommend the Panzer Dragoon opening theme.

You dislike twangy country -- but no one can dislike the DIXIE CHICKS.

Well I'd definitely advise you to sink your teeth into some Muse, Plug In Baby is a fucking awesome song but too many people have suggested that so I'll just mix it up.

This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us by Sparks, really experimental electronic rock but fucking fantastic riffs. If you like this song, just go ahead and download all their stuff.

The Lost Art of Keeping A Secret by Queens of The Stone Age. Great tune and a good introduction to their album, Rated R.

Oxford Comma or A-Punk by Vampire Weekend, if you like The Beatles you'll love these guys. You can see how clearly influenced they are by them. They're great care-free, summer songs.

Chase The Rainbow by Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Fucking unreal guitar action in this, more blues than rock but this dude knows how to jam.

Enjoy dude!
