Yet another music recomendations thread

[Muzikman]

Hmmm...Who311 seems to know his music. Those are all great suggestions for the metal/thrash side of things. Which I also agree, if you like this new junk out there, you might wanna go back to the roots. Also look in to Motorhead, Megadeth and Iron Maiden.

Now, I will go another route than everyone else. There are a few albums that EVERYONE should own.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
The Who - Who's Next
Led Zeppelin - IV (AKA: Zoso)
The Beatles - Sgt Peppers
RUSH - Retrospective I (this is a greatest hits CD)

Now, a lot of people will say that these are not the best CDS from these bands. That might be true, but these are the CDs that you MUST have.

Wow, I totally forgot to throw in some Motorhead. Megadeth is cool too man, the early stuff is better though, and his voice is alittle annoying after a while. Iron Maiden is probably one of the best bands ever, I just didnt put them in because i kinda doubted he would have liked them. Get Iron Maiden-Number of The Beast. RIGHT NOW!

Cursive- The Ugly Organ

Everyone should buy that CD, probably the best $13 I ever spent. You can always count on Cursive to make quality music.

Converge - Petitioning to Empty Sky
Converge - Jane Doe

IMO, Converge is the epitome of aggressive music. In general the music is extremely intense and very emotional (but not in a whiney way). One of the few active bands right now that I have genuine respect for.

... And You will Know us by the Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes (excellent indie, very reminiscient of Sonic Youth)

Comeback Kid - Turn it Around (solid hardcore, kinda' catchy as well)

Dillinger Escape Plan - Irony is a Dead Scene (very technical metalcore. It's also VERY strange, but enjoyable at the same time.)

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

Don't let him in on good music.

Rise Against is going to be playing a show in Chi-Town, just for the hell of it, and its only 5 bucks, it is going to be good times.

[Can_Opener]

I definitely have to second In Flames , almost all of their stuff is worth listening to, just sounds awesome.
KMFDM is good too, I especially like their album World War III.

Word man. All of their albums have so many layers, and parts to them. I swear, everytime I listen to any converge, I found something I didnt hear before, you know what I mean? And whoever keeps saying In Flames, am I the only one that thinks theyre not good at all, I just think theyre way too generic, and lame. Oh well. Converge all the way man. Im glad to see another Converge fan.

[FreakBaller12]

definatly check out the band thursday. I like them alot. Try the album full collpase, the best they have out, IMO. Our try this band called the dead 50's you'll have a hard tiem finding a cd i would think, cuz they aren't that popular. But they are a very good band IMO. BTW both these bands can be previewed on the smoked dvd.

I know exactly what you mean. So, do you have high hopes for You Fail Me? If it tops Jane Doe I'll do back flips.

[Smitty2k1]

Ever try the 80's?

The Cure
Echo and the Bunnymen
The Smiths
David Bowie
Joy Division
Teardrop Expodes


(Yeah threw in some non 80's too)

[jewie27]

Course of Nature
12 Stones
Submersed (new and produced by Mark Tremonti)
Theory of a Deadman
Nickelback
Default
FUEL

I know there are tons more, but these are just a few of the rock bands I listen to and can suggest. I only listen to things with guitars/drums/Bass. No synthesizers and no hip hop or rap. Pretty much because I am a guitar player myself. I don't believe it takes talent to just make a beat on a computer and call it "music". To actually play a musical instrument does.

[PyRo]

So much good music, so little money (at this point anyway). I bought about 15cd's, and have a decent list of ones I want going (about 10 more), then a bunch of ones that I have to listen to some more. And i'm only on Muzikmans post.

Anyone else love cdnow.com? You can listen to samples, and they sell used cd's. Between there and ebay you can usually get them for about half price or less, and its legal, and you get the whole cd, case papers, and all.

[Muzikman]

I'll say CD buying online with a credit card gets VERY addictive. I am currently over 1000 CDs (my last count about 8 months ago was 960 and I know I have bought way more than 40 CDs since. My budget usually accounts for about $150-$200 in CDs a month. I have so many CDs that I have some that I have not even opened. So...watch yourself when online spending

**Note: I have only bough 4 CDs in the last month. I am trying to cut down.
