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.

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.

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

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

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

As the Palaces Burn - Lamb of God (http://youtube.com/watch?v=op5YQXyvQP0)

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 ;)

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.

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).

-'Emo': Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Funeral for a Friend, Hiding With Girls, Jimmy Eat World, Nightmare of You
-'Prog': At the Drive-In, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, Muse
-'Punk/Hardcore': AFI, Billy Talent, Boysetsfire, Boys Night Out, Dem Brooklyn Bums, Distillers, Engerica, Fall of Troy, Finch, Horrorpops, The Living End, Millencolin, Reuben, Protest the Hero, Rise Against, Say Anything, Sahara Hotnights, Ska-P, Span, Symposium
-Other (covers a wide range I suppose): Biffy Clyro, Circa Survive, Dissociatives, Hundred Reasons, Idlewild, King Adora, Open Hand, Our Lady Peace, Serafin, Test Icicles, Therapy?

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!)

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. :)


Hahah heeh Duuuude!:p

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

: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.

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.

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.

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

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)

What if I took them of the list and replaced them with Kasabian and Lost Prophets?

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

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

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.

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.

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. ;)

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...

Ahhh the wonderfull world of internet forums!
