I'm trying to think of what albums to burn. So recommend some albums you listen to to me.

Dream Theater. They're seriously awesome.

At the Drive-In (specifically Relationship of Command)

Have IaW by Dream Theater. They are very good.

The answer is obviously Dethklok.

Have IaW by them. They are very good.

I always preferred ACoS, though to be fair, only the title song is original (although that song is why I like it.)

Let's see, Train of Thought is heavy metal. Through and through. Octavarium has a lot of variety. I haven't opened Metropolis Part II yet, but I hear it's good.

silly you don't burn albums, you listen to them...don't you?

and I feel like some bright eyes right now, nice, comfy and you can sit there with a fag and a glass of alcohol/coffee feeling new Yorkie

As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God, Tiger Army, In Flames, NOFX, AFI (early), The Clash, Napalm Death *catches breath* Misfits, Anti-Flag, Rise Against, Rancid, US Bombs, Opeth

At the Drive-In (specifically Relationship of Command)

No, you gotta go with Acrobatic Tenement. :)

Otherwise, I'd suggest Hot Water Music - Never Ender and Small Brown Bike - Dead Reckoning.

And then, add some songs by Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Orchid, Converge, Ed Gein, Daughters and all of Calculating Infinity by Dillinger Escape Plan.

As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God, Tiger Army, In Flames, NOFX, AFI (early), The Clash, Napalm Death *catches breath* Misfits, Anti-Flag, Rise Against, Rancid, US Bombs, Opeth

whats the best misfits album?

No, you gotta go with Acrobatic Tenement. :)


:)

For a first timer, RoC is more rounded. Personally, I like Vaya. Hell, personally, I like all of their stuff :D

whats the best misfits album?

Best single album? Well, my favorite is Legacy of Brutality. Or Collection I
But it's better to just get their best songs:
Halloween
Die, Die, My Darling
Hybrid Moments
Some Kinda Hate
Angelfuck
She
Helena
Dig Up Her Bones
Night of the Living Dead
Last Caress

cool. I'll look it up. That's Danzig's first band right?

Indeed. Although, some of those songs were written after Danzig left (e.g. Dig Up Her Bones, and Helena)

You forgot We Are 138 and Death Comes Ripping. :p

Cool. I mostly know Danzig from ATHF.

"Can we get the blood to flow up the walls?"

Love Aqua Teens.

The new Tom Waits album Orphans is pretty good. I would definitely recommend the song Dog Door if you can find it anywhere.

Also good is Lie To Me, Book of Moses, Heigh Ho, Puttin on the Dog, Walk Away

You forgot We Are 138 and Death Comes Ripping. :p

Meh.

Really, out of the bands I recommended, the best ones are As I Lay Dying, Tiger Army, Lamb of God, and AFI, IMHO.

Some examples of each:
94 Hours - As I Lay Dying (http://youtube.com/watch?v=EU-YnDt8zVY)
Through Struggle - As I Lay Dying (http://youtube.com/watch?v=O8ONGDC-8dU)
Incorporeal - Tiger Army (http://youtube.com/watch?v=iGvOqIgJqg0)
Rose of the Devil's Garden - Tiger Army (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JvAOTNUJ1T4)
Walk With Me In Hell - Lamb of God (http://youtube.com/watch?v=auikBu7soMs)
As the Palaces Burn - Lamb of God (http://youtube.com/watch?v=op5YQXyvQP0)
Days of the Phoenix - AFI (http://youtube.com/watch?v=SulKPvLiwkE)
He Who Laughs Last - AFI (http://youtube.com/watch?v=KY9AQOykcng)

Cool. I mostly know Danzig from ATHF.

"Can we get the blood to flow up the walls?"

Love Aqua Teens.

ROFL. I love that episode.

"If it turns out you have my fucking robot, I'll be eating my cereal out of your fucking skulls! Verstanlich?!"

Frank Sinatra
Dean Martin
Sammy Davis Jr.
The Rat Pack

All are good. :D

Cool. I mostly know Danzig from ATHF.

"Can we get the blood to flow up the walls?"

ATHF + Dethklok would be the best half hour ever.

PS. My ATHF poster pwns you bitches.

What do you usually listen to?

What do you usually listen to?

Ooooh, Kanabia, have I got a band for you? Local heroes the Slomatics (http://www.myspace.com/slomatics). Unfortunately their studio recordings don't live up to the live wall of lowend that they furnish given a big enough PA.

Anything the who ever thought of, stadium arcadium by RHCP.

Say Anything (http://www.sayanythingmusic.com/)... Trust me, they rock!!

Still pretty damn cool - my sort of thing. Thanks! :D

For some tasty, SF - outer space rock, try the band, Hawkwind.
If you'd like to try something really different, Vernon Reid, the guitarist from Living Colour, did a solo album called Mistaken Identity. It's got rock, fusion jazz, rap, hip-hop, even a hilarious cameo by Laurence Fishburn. An interesting tribute to Cobain, too ;)

Just check jamendo.com... lots and lots of legal music! Currently, I like skt sekuentzia

I'm trying to think of what albums to burn. So recommend some albums you listen to to me.

I'm really enjoying Blood Mountain by Mastodon at the moment. Great if you like Metal. If you dont like Metal then try Rock for Light by Bad Brains, Hardcore at its best. Period. Some other good albums are Zen Arcade by Hüsker Dü, and Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by Dead Kennedys.

Good recommendations. :)

Good recommendations. :)

Thanks. Did you like everything I recommended or was there a name that stood out for you? I'm always on the lookout for good music, and if we have similar tastes then please recommend me some bands to listen to.

I like all of them a lot.

If you like hardcore, The Shape of Punk to Come by Refused is a definite must to check out and Blood, Guts, and Pussy by the Dwarves is pretty cool, even though the full album only clocks in at 15 minutes.

For something similar to Mastodon, i'm not sure what to recommend. They have a bit in common with sludge and stoner metal (particularly their earlier stuff), but it's pretty superficial a resemblance - you might like bands like Crowbar or Eyehategod (although neither of them are nearly as technical as Mastodon, they have a similar feel at times) or maybe for something a bit easier to digest and slightly more mainstream, Corrosion of Conformity. Mastodon toured with Clutch for a while, you might like them too, except they're far more blues-rocky than metal.

And for something inbetween hardcore and metal, try Facedowninshit (http://www.myspace.com/facedowninshit) (Eyehategod whom I mentioned earlier would probably qualify too).

The Melvins - (A) Senile Animal is an awesome album

I'm trying to think of what albums to burn. So recommend some albums you listen to to me.

anything by Queen, Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, Beatles,
most of Metallica, Dragonforce, Led Zeppelin, Gamma Ray, Rolling Stones
also some of ZZ Top, Buddy Holly, Waltari, Cranberries, Guns 'n' Roses

The Melvins - (A) Senile Animal is an awesome album

Oooh, the new one? I'll have to get it.

At the Drive-In (specifically Relationship of Command)

That's an outstanding album.

As no one as suggested it yet... MECHA-BONGZILLA!!!

It's Bongzilla with a drum machine.

Ed Gein are pretty good too.
Dataclast are fucking k-rad digigrind.

Know what, just go buy the Relapse Records sampler DRUM>Machine Gun and be happy.

Dataclast, Noism, Nerve Not Found, Jet Jaguar Kr3 Kill Spree, Submachine Drum, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Hellz Army, Genghis Tron, Prosthetic ****, Nemo, Decomposing Serenity, Mecha Bongzilla, Scumfusion, Slough, Mad Cow, Voltron, Ocrilim (Octus), ::Cocoon:: and Black Mayonnaise...

Sixty-seven (67) tracks of shit-your-pants good digigrind.

Acid Bath (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=ACID|BATH&sql=11:y09fs34ba3xg~T1)
Exhorder (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=EXHORDER&sql=11:fmdyyl1jxpzb~T1)

Each band only made two albums, both of which were absolutely incredible!!!
Individual Tracks of Choice:

Acid Bath - Bleed Me an Ocean, Venus Blue, Finger Paintings of the Insane, Scream of the Butterfly, & God Machine
Exhorder - Homicide, Desecrator, Slaughter in the Vatican, Soul Search Me, & I Am the Cross

If we're talking rock rather than metal.

I can't belive nobody has yet suggested:

Wolfmother - Dimension
Orange Goblin - The Big Black
Nebula - anything, I mean litraly anything by this band
Monster Magnet - The Spine of God

You get the idea?

Cheers. So do you :)

Post-rock rocks.

:eek: are you I V Stalin’s clone?
And no Chumbawamba?
Unless I’m in a Blade Runner situation here, I don’t think I’m a clone.

And I tried leaving out the more folky/punk bands. There’s far too many that I like to even begin; the Cambridge scene and all that. (Soft Machine rules!)

Though people should listen to Chumbawamba’s Anarchy.

Anything by Tenacious D....

Ed Gein are pretty good too.

Speaking of which, did you ever have the pleasure of hearing the Plainfield With Jello Biafra release?

Paris Hilton

That's hot.

if you like post rock, some bands that aren't metioned: mono, do make say think, tortoise and explosions in the sky (i'm going to see them live :D )

explosions in the sky (i'm going to see them live :D )
When when when?!?!?! Are they touring the UK as well?

Saw Mono a few weeks back. They were pretty tedious. Pretty but tedious. Sure ain't no Red Sparrowes.

Sparowes. Only one 'r'. ;)

Yeah, Mono seem to have this reputation as one of the best post-rock bands around but I've always thought they're not as good as their contemporaries.

Sparowes. Only one 'r'. ;)

Arse. At least I remembered the 'e'.

You people have absolutely no idea what rock is, do you?

Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin
Back In Black - AC/DC
Moving Pictures - Rush
Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Abbey Road - The Beatles
Paranoid - Black Sabbath
The Doors - The Doors
Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses


Seriously, kids these days.
Can't tell metalcore from rock.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Company is an absolute classic.

:rolleyes: Oh please. If you're going to attempt to be an elitist, you'd fit the mold a lot better if you cited 9 albums nobody has ever heard of plus the Velvet Underground and Nico.

Heh heh an elitist? So what would you say their best albulm is then?

I'm not claiming to be one at all, i'm merely ridiculing the "You people have absolutely no idea what rock is, do you?" comment. And who, the VU?

A few from some British bands...

Biffy Clyro - The Vertigo of Bliss
Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land
Oceansize - Effloresce
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position
Orko - Creating Short Fiction
65daysofstatic - The Fall of Math
Elbow - Leaders of the Free World

Hundred Reasons - Kill Your Own
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
Mogwai - Rock Action
Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People
People in Planes - As Far As the Eye Can See
Snow Patrol - When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up
Sucioperro - Random Acts of Intimacy

All very good albums.

Umm anybody heard of The Guardians of Andromida?

How about some nerd rock? They Might Be Giants

Heh heh an elitist? So what would you say their best albulm is then?The eponymous 1969 album, of course. The '67 album (aka the banana album) was more significant, but the second LP was better. ;)

For the OP, I gotta ask... roots, urban, classic, country, folk, metal, hard, soft, southern, hair-band, glam, rockabilly, Christian, alternative, modern, progessive, pop, new wave, industrial, etc., etc. etc. ... heh. :)

That's actually their third LP. ;) And apart from "The Murder Mystery", I don't think it's so great. I prefer 1968's White Light/White Heat myself. It's an incredibly disturbing and dissonant album that shouldn't be fun to listen to, but somehow it is. And who can forget the line "She's been sucking on my Dingdong!!!"? :p

Here is a useful site for music lovers. Pandora is a sort of internet radio, only you get to choose what you want to hear. Just make a channel by putting in the name of a band or song you like, and it will bring up music that is similar.

http://www.pandora.com

:p I figured people are bored of me telling them they should listen to 65...

Am actually listening to them for the first time now, after ages of hearing you mention them and me being curious.... and I do really like them :) Not as much as you do ;) but still :p

Muse's style is excellent so all their albums.

Also:
Trapt
Smokescreen
Kasabian
Lost Prophets

The eponymous 1969 album, of course. The '67 album (aka the banana album) was more significant, but the second LP was better. ;)


Velvet Underground and Nico I think probably just beats WhiteLight/White Heat....although I do like Loaded and The Velvet Underground :D .......have they ever done a bad album? (not included the post Lou Reed album Squeeze)

The Fratellis
Hard Fi

Londim.respect = Londim.respect - 100%

Although....you said Muse so it can go up a bit I suppose :p

It would experience a slight rise, because I quite liked Kasabian's first album, but would instantly drop again because of Lost Prophets :p

How about My Chemical Romance?

Down again...

Hmm......How about the following:

Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Razorlight

Well, I think the following are rather good...

Oceansize,
Cave In,
Yourcodenameis:milo,

and I would add Genghis Tron to my list, but as everyone I know who I've forced to listen to them thinks they're crap its probably not worthwhile in a recommendation thread :p

Up

So could we say 80%?

Oceansize,
Yourcodenameis:milo,

Good call on the both of them (although I really only like the All Roads to Fault 7 track by ycni:m). Oceansize are one of my favourite bands, definitely.

70!

When when when?!?!?! Are they touring the UK as well?

03/01/07 London, UK Koko's

What a fine taste in music you have:)

Why, thank you good sir.

And the same for you :)

Why, thank you good sir.

And the same for you :)

Yay!:fluffle:

I'm trying to think of what albums to burn. So recommend some albums you listen to to me.

Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and other assorted love songs.

Eric Clapton and Duane Allman at their best.

70!

67.5 ;)

Fine I'll accept 67.5%

SmithsSmithsSmiths. Wait, why do I have the feeling I've posted this same post several times before?

:rolleyes: Oh please. If you're going to attempt to be an elitist, you'd fit the mold a lot better if you cited 9 albums nobody has ever heard of plus the Velvet Underground and Nico.

How is that elitist? They're all classic, well-known albums.:confused:

:( I forgot about White Light/White Heat. But I find it unfun (and rock should be fun even when depressing is my mantra) even if it does use dingdong as a lyric. :D

Really? I think it's their most fun record by far. Meh, each to their own. :P

I'm not trying to be an elitist. I'm just saying that many of the bands people are suggesting aren't even rock at all.

Says he who cited Black Sabbath - a lot of people would argue that they're metal, not rock, no? We could get into an extensive argument over any one of the bands listed in this thread as to whether or not they qualify as "rock", but you were the one who came in and labelled it all metalcore, and had the "you people have absolutely no idea what rock is" and "kids these days" comments. Therefore, you came across like an elitist, which irritated me. :p

(and; in relation to your comments, I own all except one of the albums you listed, so bite me ;) :p)

How is that elitist? They're all classic, well-known albums.:confused:

That was my point. It was the comments he made that gave that impression, but were followed up by a list of albums that nearly everyone has heard - if you're going to be a jaded elitist, you have to do it correctly. ;)

Am actually listening to them for the first time now, after ages of hearing you mention them and me being curious.... and I do really like them :) Not as much as you do ;) but still :p
Wow, persistence really does pay off. :)

Go see them next time they tour - you really won't regret it.

One day, everyone on this forum will be a 65 fan...

It would experience a slight rise, because I quite liked Kasabian's first album, but would instantly drop again because of Lost Prophets :p
Depends which Lostprophets album(s). Their first was really good, and if they'd continued developing their style of metal they'd be one of my favourite bands now. But they went shit instead. Their second album was almost passable, but since then...
