Help me find some albums to buy! (Rock, Metal)

[Guest ConchairtoHead]

I have some Gift Certificates for a music store and im looking at getting about 5 albums.

Now, im interested in like Metal and Rock () I like the sound of most of the people on the WWF Forceable Entry cd.

People like Disturbed, Saliva, and Fozzy (80's rock) you know.

So what 5 would you recommend for me? (and i'd like a bit of diversity)

[Guest EQ]

I recommend Disturbed's newest CD: "Believe"

[Guest converge241]

Mudvayne

a Testament best of

Disturbed

Taproot

Chevelle

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

hmm..you'd probably dig these.

 

Slayer-Divine Intervention

Fear Factory-Demanufacture

Van Halen-1984

Megadeth-Peace Sells...But who's Buying?

Machine Head-Burn My Eyes

 

That's a pretty decent mix of newer metal and 80's stuff. Slayer had to be recommended on principle.

[Guest Renegade]

Saliva is 80s rock?

[Guest caboose]

The Deftones - The White Pony

Metallica - Any thing except 'Load' and 'ReLoad'

Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction

[Guest redbaron51]

Iron Maiden: The Number of the Beast

Shadows Fall: The Art of Balance

Tool: Ænima

Metallica: Master of Puppets

Megadeth: Rust In Peace

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

It's not the same category as your examples, but it's one of my favorite rock albums: Rated R, by the Queens of the Stone Age.

[Guest converge241]

everyone should own Rated R

 

AND Kyuss - Blues For the Red Sun

[Guest razazteca]

AC/DC - Back in Black

Godsmack

Iron Maiden

Ministry

Primus - Pork Soda

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes

Judas Priest - Jugulator

Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil

Rock Star movie soundtrack

Shadows Fall - Of One Blood

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

While I am not suprised in the least that Corey stuck Shadows Fall in there, I must say that I am SHOCKED and APPALLED to discover that I'm *not* the only person who actually likes post-Halford Judas Priest.

 

Oh, and buy Iron Maiden's "Rock in Rio". Best CD ever.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

I actually prefer post-Halford. The music is darker, faster, and heavier.

[Guest Tyrone Slothrop]

man you gotta get necrobucket its so fucking awesome

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Don't ever speak ill of Necrobucket.

[Guest Passenger]

Fozzy - Happenstance

CKY - Volume 1

HIM - Razorblade Romance

GnR - Use Your Illusion 1

This Girl - Short Strut To The Brassy Front

y'know, I love maiden, though I don't really collect their stuff, and I prefer the original double CD of 'best of the beast' cos there was more on it and it included live tracks as well. Rock in Rio is a thing of beauty though.

[Guest redbaron51]

Judas Priest: What ruined NWOBHM...

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

Is it even possible to still pick up the double-CD version of Best of the Beast? I've NEVER seen it anywhere. At least Rock in Rio is readily handy, and has the added bonus of Bruce Dickinson singing "Sign of the Cross" and "The Clansman".

 

I mean, like I've said before, Blaze ain't bad, but he AIN'T Bruce.

 

I have no real problems with old-school Judas Priest. I do perfer the current version though, because the music just seems more...full, if I can use that term in this context. It's probably because of the mixing or whatever, but still. The old stuff ain't bad, I'm just not as big a fan of it as I am the newer stuff.

[Guest redbaron51]

I like it when Bruce does Blaze's stuff, but he should never touch any D'ianno's stuff (a butchered Wrathchild, and Iron Maiden does not cut it)

 

I've seen Best of the Beast as a double disc, though its rare now of days...

[Guest pochorenella]

Only from the 80s? I'm gonna list more than five...

 

Motley Crue "Shout At The Devil" and "Too Fast For Love"

Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction"

Def Leppard "Pyromania"

AC/DC "Highway To Hell" and "Back In Black"

Iron Maiden "Rock In Rio" and "Number Of The Beast"

Scorpions "Blackout"

Judas Priest "Screaming For Vengeance"

 

Now, if you want some 70s stuff, that's another thing.

I own the single-CD version of "Best Of The Beast" and I have to say the only song that I miss is "Revelations". Other than that it's a pretty complete Maiden collection. Thing is I've seen the double-disc version a lot. Have you checked Amazon.com? I'm sure it's available there, maybe as an import (a little more expensive than normal, but still).

I think he means primarily "nu-metal," guys.

 

If you want that stuff, Target usually prices the CDs of slightly-below-radar groups like Breaking Benjamin (that's a very bad name) and whoever at under 10 dollars. Gift certificates, schmift shitificates.

[Guest Adrian 3:16]

New to hard music and you want 5 albums with diversity? Say no more...

 

Pantera- Vulgar Display of Power

Machine Head- Burn My Eyes

Metallica- Master of Puppets

Tool- Aenima

Sevendust- Animosity

Alice in Chains- Facelift

 

There's 6.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Facelift over Dirt? Whoa.

 

Not that it's a bad choice or anything, Facelift's an amazing album.

 

Machine Head's older stuff is pretty decent, but they're really easy to grow out of, I think. I was all over Burn my Eyes and The More Things Change... for a while, but got burned out on them pretty quickly. I can still listen to Burn My Eyes, but everything else gets pretty tired. Their past couple albums have sucked supreme balls, though.

 

and by the way, how in the fuck did I forget to recommend some Sepultura?

 

Chaos AD and anything prior are all fucking amazing. Roots has some good material, too, but it's not as good as say, Beneath the Remains, or Schizophrenia.

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

Oh, and buy Iron Maiden's "Rock in Rio". Best CD ever.

I Still like "Live After Death" Better.

"Facelift over Dirt? Whoa."

 

i do facelift over dirt in a heartbeat too

 

nothing on dirt can compare to

We Die Young

It aint like that

Sea Of Sorrow

Bleed The Freak

 

IMO

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

The Deftones - The White Pony

Metallica - Any thing except 'Load' and 'ReLoad'

Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction

Hey get Load and Reload too if you want.

 

They're great albums. The only reason they get any flack is because people were expecting something else from Metallica.

 

Very underrated albums in my eyes.

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

Bon Jovi- SLippery when Wet

AC/DC- Back in Black

Metallica- Master of Puppets (I talked my father into buying it)

G N' R- Appetite for Destuction

Van Halen- OU812

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

My mom likes Metallica. It's weird.
