-RoG-

[Dole]

I didnt know you liked Squirrel Nut Zippers. They are ace :)

[Mockery]

Yep, I actually saw them live a long time ago... it was in a fairly small club so we got to stand up nice 'n close. Their live sound & performance was absolutely awesome. Really great musicians. Actually, I don't know if you've heard it, but "Katharine Whalen's Jazz Squad" is really good too... a side project of the SNZ's Katharine Whalen.

In no particular order:

Megadeth- Rust in Peace
Overkill- Horrorscope
Tom Waits- Bone Machine
Poe- Hello
George Carlin- Back in Town
Pave the Rocket- Taken In

Helmet- Betty
Masters of Reality- How High the Moon- Live at the Viper Room
GG Allin- Freaks, Faggots, Drunks and Junkies

[Dole]

Mock: I will check that out....I love her voice. Like a happier Billie Holiday...

[kellychaos]

I didnt know you liked Squirrel Nut Zippers. They are ace :)

Have you ever tried older swing music like Cab Calloway, Dole?

[Bennett]

no particular order:

The Beatles: Rubber Soul
Radiohead: OK Computer
Dr. Octagon: Dr. Octagynocologist
Santana: Abraxas
Neutral Milk Hotel: Aeroplane over the Sea
Magnetic Fields: Holiday
Guided by Voices: Alien Lanes
The Sea and Cake: The Biz
Rolling Stones: Let it Bleed
Hall and Oates: Greatest Hits

[Dole]

KC: Yeah, I have a bit of an obsession about old swing/cocktail jazz/easy listening type of stuff so I have a fair bit. Cab Calloway is great.

[Helm]

And now for the top 10 list (almost) full of bands (almost) nobody here is familiar with:

no order:

Watchtower : Control and resistance
Sieges Even : Life Cycles
Psychotic Waltz : A Social Grace
King Crimson : Red
Mussorgsky : Pictures At An Exhibition
Neurosis : Times of Grace
Civil Defiance : Fishers of Souls
Dysrhythmia : No Interference
Heir Apparent : Graceful Inheritance
Jag Panzer : Ample Destruction

[crash0814]

Yay! Someone recognizes the genius that is King Crimson's Red.

[distance]

in no particular order

godspeed you! black emperor - lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven
explosions in the sky - those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever
(though seeing both of those bands live is better than listening to the albums)
the cure - faith
future sound of london - dead cities
joy division - still
lush - split
the orb - adventures beyond the ultraworld
autechre - chiastic slide
radiohead - ok computer
king crimson - larks tongues in aspic

[Perndog]

In approximate order, best first:

Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Blues Traveler - Four
Metallica - Metallica
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
Ozzy - Ozzmosis (sure, the older stuff is great (esp. Rhoads) but this record just does it for me)
The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over (best live album ever)
System of a Down - Toxicity
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Pearl Jam - Ten
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime

This list includes, of course, only albums I'm really familiar with. It'll probably change, and soon.

[crash0814]

Ten is quite possibly the most overrated album of all time.

[Perndog]

I always thought that was Joshua Tree.

[Protoclown]

Hell, "Joshua Tree" is nowhere near U2's best album. That would be "War" or "Achtung Baby".

As for Pearl Jam, I like "Ten" but I agree that it's overrated. I prefer "Yield" and "Vs" both to it.

[crash0814]

Maybe I should rephrase what I said earlier: Ten is quite possibly the most overrated album of all time by a usually good band.

[Zero Signal]

I stopped listening to Pearl Jam albums after Vs.; just not the same. poop

[crash0814]

Pearl Jam jumped the shark with Yield, in my opinion. Ten was a shaky start, Vs. and Vitalogy were both solid albums, No Code was an attempt to branch out, so good or not, it earns my respect. Yield just kinda...sucked. It was boring. Except for Do the Evolution. That song was badass.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Hell, "Joshua Tree" is nowhere near U2's best album. That would be "War" or "Achtung Baby".


POP is the best.
