Gimme music please. :(
Also, when did you start listening to funk and stuff? Super Fly is awesome.
No particular reason to ask you for music, I just wanted a throwback or something, and I've seen stuff in your chart I've been meaning to listen to anyway.

hell yeah these threads
I saw Super Fly on the RYM and SputnikMusic charts for a while, but I just gave it listen a few days ago. It's really cool shit: definitely one I'd listen to again. Speaking of funk, I'm probably gonna listen to Songs in the Key of Life very soon (probably when I get a new USB sound card).
I don't know exactly what to recommend, though. What type of stuff are you looking for that I may have knowledge about?

I don't really care. I want to expand my horizons.

Alright, I'm recommending my top stuff that I don't see in your last.fm library.
First, I'll recommend some Devin Townsend, since you know he's my favorite artist and all. "Ocean Machine: Biomech" is the best place to start with his solo work: it combines a lot of what he does musically onto one album.
From there, there's a lot of ways to go. If you want something heavier and more epic, then I'd recommend "Deconstruction" and then "Ziltoid the Omniscient" (and if that's not heavy enough, then check out Strapping Young Lad). If you like poppier stuff like "Life", then "Addicted" and then "Infinity" is the way to go. If you want softer, more acoustic stuff, "Ghost" and "Ki" will do the trick. His other albums, "Terria", "Accelerated Evolution" and "Synchestra" are all solid too.
If you haven't checked it out yet, Between the Buried and Me's "Colors" is an interesting album that I adore. Very heavy, but very diverse too.
I remember you mentioning Slowdive before, but I don't see them in your library. Regardless, "Souvlaki" is one of the best albums I've ever heard.
I'd also totally recommend St. Vincent as well. Her albums "Actor" and "Strange Mercy" are very well made, putting a more modern twist to baroque pop.
Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime" is a great progressive metal concept album, with very memorable songs and an interesting story.
Nine Inch Nails' "The Downward Spiral" is a very angry, depressing concept album. Industrial rock at its finest.
If you're in the mood for Japanese progressive speed metal, then check out X Japan's "Art of Life". It even has an avant-garde piano solo!
"Still Life" by Opeth is another excellent concept album, combining death metal with acoustic passages.
If you're looking for some excellent stoner metal, then check out Clutch's "Blast Tyrant". It's very bluesy with some interesting lyrics.
I've been listening to a lot of Heart lately too in preparation for the concert I saw last week, and while they definitely are more of a singles band, "Dreamboat Annie" is a very solid album with several great songs.
That's mostly what I have for now. Let me know if you've listened to some of these before, and what you think of my recommendations!

I don't know why Slowdive isn't in my library. I've listened to them lots. Come to think of it, I think I forgot to sign into the Scrobbler when I was away.
It's kind of funny how you give me all this metal then have Heart. 0_o
Anyway, thanks. As soon as I find a good torrent I'll most definitely listen to all of that.

To be fair, I'd argue 70's Heart was most of the time hard rock, it's not TOO far fetched that someone huge into metal would really enjoy them.
