Guest Incandenza Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 You need more Tom Waits, for starters. Your next Waits should either be Swordfishtrombones or Bone Machine. Start filling out your Talking Heads collection by getting Fear of Music. Elvis Costello is conspicious in his absence from your list. Find one of the Costello-related threads in this folder and make your choice.
Guest R2DFooster McSockman Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 I only purchased Rain Dogs last week, but it instantly propelled itself into the upper echelons of my 'albums I really like' list, so I'll be getting more of his work as soon as possible. Costello is someone whose music I've never really got around to looking into (I've only being buying albums for two years), but the little I've heard has interested me. I think that owning eight RHCP albums (five steaming piles of poo poo and three decent-good at best) but no Costello makes me a very, very bad person.
Guest Renegade Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Get "OSC-DISC" by the Mad Capsule Markets.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Get some Moonspell and some Tiamat. Doom Metal, so it's not all "GRRRR!!! DIE DIE DIE!!!!", but instead VERY mellow. I also highly suggest picking up anything you can find by The Gathering and Theatre Of Tragedy.
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies Get the Singles soundtrack. Beastie Boys. Any/all of the studio albums. And more Pearl Jam. Finish out the studio albums, and pick up some of the live bootlegs.
Guest ZGangsta Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 You definitely need Guns n Roses' Appetite for Destruction. And more Led Zeppelin is required, though it's good to see you do have IV (best album ever), get I through III at least.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 The Soundtrack to the movie Kids and High Fidelity, and you should definitely get another Deftones album...cause White Pony wasn't their best effort...
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Such Pixies and Pavement love suggests to me you might find a little joy in Modest Mouse. Go with The Lonesome Crowded West, particularly "Cowboy Dan," "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine," and "Out Of Gas," if you want something more along the lines of Surfer Rosa or Slanted & Enchanted type rock-out rawness. The Moon And Antarctica is a solid choice if you're hunting more polished Doolittle or Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain type music, a little more lush but with the same sort of feel. Try "Gravity Rides Everything," "Lives," and "I Came As A Rat." In addition, anyone with tastes that swings the way of Radiohead or The Velvet Underground's eclectisim owes it to himself to try out Wilco, with this year's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot probably being the best introduction.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Can't go wrong with Johnny Cash, as it's the shit and is also very different from whatever it may be that you are listening to right now. Although many will probably be turned off by the fact that it's "country". Whatever.
Guest AzkulKazul Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Anathema - A Fine Day To Exit Anathema - Alternative 4 Anathema - Judgement Agalloch - The Mantle Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine - Biomech Devin Townsend - Infinity Devin Townsend - Terria Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
Guest Kinetic Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 I second the Wilco nomination and suggest a fleshing out of your Dylan collection. And both The Smiths and Elliot Smith are must-haves, including but not limited to every proper Smiths album (The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead, Strangeways Here We Come) and the latters self-titled Kill Rock Stars debut and Either/Or. Oh, and Built to Spill. They rock.
Guest Kinetic Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 It's Pawn, Flyboy. When the Pawn....
Guest WrestlingDeacon Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 I love Johnny Cash, but I don't know if it would be up McSockman's alley. You do like a couple rough voiced singer songwriters, so it's a maybe. If you're going to give him a shot get any of his three American Recordings albums of recent years. American Recordings III: The Man Enters just came out. Some older stuff I could recommend that you might dig in harder rock and singer/songwriter categories would be Blue Oyster Cult, Harry Chapin, Tony Joe White, Deep Purple, Van Morrison, Kiss, Mike Nesmith solo work and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Try discovering the Rolling Stones too. 40 Licks is a good primer, but Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers are seminal albums. You might want to expand your Kinks with Muswell Hillbillies. You'd be good to check out Cake too, their last album was Comfort Eagle, but all their stuff is killer. Fashion Nugget is a good start. Everything you don't know by the Monkees rocks. When they got out of the corporate shadow and did their own thing, it's good compliment to the what the Beatles and Beach Boys were doing at that time. Start with Headquarters on that front.
Guest Flyboy Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 It's Pawn, Flyboy. When the Pawn.... Sorry. I had Miss Marie on my mind... the first time in months for that.
Guest redbaron51 Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 You need more Pink Floyd, like Animals, and Meddle. And you definitly get some Who like Who's Next, Quadrophinia, Who Are You, Live at Leeds, and some Genesis like Foxtrot, Seconds Out, Lambs Lie Down on Broadway.
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Pick up some Hendrix. "Are You Experienced" is as good a place to start as any. Prince, everything, but I'd recommend "1999" first it's a bit different than what you're listening to now, but I'd say at least try some Aphex Twin. "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" is a good album to go from
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 ...I'm with Deacon... GET SOME DEEP PURPLE.
Guest DrainYou42 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 You've already got Whatever and Ever Amen, I would suggest getting Ben's solo album(Rockin the Suburbs)as well. Any of the 80's alternative stuff is good(Husker Du, Replacements, etc. etc.) To mix it up, get Stephen Lynch's "A Little Bit Special"
Guest redbaron51 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 you need rush and dream theater ASAP... oh and I don't see any Motorhead, Megadeth and Iron Maiden up their either, so get some too
Guest Choken One Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 The Best of Celine Dion, Ya can't beat it.
Guest Incandenza Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 Death Cab for Cutie's We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes is a lovely mix of pretty melodies, slow, drone-y stuff, and, every now and then, a Built to Spill-style rocker. Terrific stuff.
Guest KANE Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 If you liked System of a Down's "Toxicity," you'll also enjoy "Steal This Album." I think it's actually better than the former.
Guest Kibagami Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 This man needs teh punk rawk! 7 Seconds, the Circle Jerks, Suicide Machines, the Pogues, and Anti-Flag are some of my favorites. And you don't own "Nevermind the Bullocks, Here's The Sex Pistols"? For shame. K.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 Indeed, more Pink Floyd is called for. Animals, Meddle, Ummagumma, and Atom Heart Mother are all masterpieces in my book. Grab some Frank Zappa, too. Sheik Yerbouti is good shit, as is his early stuff with The Mothers of Invention. I'd also suggest grabbing Duck Stab by The Residents, and any Primus you can find. If you want to get even weirder, find some Sunn and Tribes of Neurot. I'm also required by law to recommend any and all Slayer, as well as Acid Bath and their offshoot bands, Agents of Oblivion and Goatwhore.
Guest The Hamburglar Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 Well, I can think of a few newer bands that are heavily influenced by some of your choices. You might as well try the Strokes(Is This It), The White Stripes(De Stijl and White Blood Cells), The Datsuns(st) and the Libertines(Up the Bracket). And the Coral. The Coral fucking rule and are eclectic as fuck. I second IDrinkRatsMilk's nomination of some Aphex Twin also. Its nothing like anything on your list but who cares, Aphex Twin is incredible music. Ratsmilk, as you are an Aphex Twin fan, I feel I must ask you an important question - Do You Know Squarepusher?
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 I must say that this new singles artist Howie Day is very good...
Guest saturnmark4life Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 As a pixies fan, track down Frank Black's first solo album (s/t) and 'teenager of the year'. It's a different sound, and has suffered from endless pixies comparisons, but it's all good. Apart from maybe 'cult of ray' and 'devil's workshop' I'd recommend them all. But no one likes my music. (see avatar) Oh and get the rest of soundgarden's catalogue. All of it, bah gawd. 'Down on the upside' didn't get the critical acclaim the others did, but I fail to see how it's a step down.
Guest Gamengiri2002 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 seeing as how we seem to have earth shatteringly similar musical tastes, I'll throw in my two cents. At the Drive In- "Acrobatic Tenement", "In Casino Out", and "Relationship of Command", all good. The Beatles- "Abbey Road", "Revolver", "Rubber Soul", "The White Album", and "Sgt. Pepper's" are all ESSENTIAL albums. Having "Mutations" and "Midnight Vultures", you must get "Mellow Gold" and "Odelay" which are Beck at his best. "Black Sabbath" and "The Master of Reality" David Bowie "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" Frank Zappa "Freak Out!" "We're only in it for the money" and "apostrophe" for starters Guided by Voices "Bee Thousand" and "Universal Truths and Cycles" Gotta recommend some Iron Maiden pretty much everything that isn't "Fear of the Dark" "virtual Xi" and "No Prayer for the dying" "Plastic Ono Band" Kyuss "Welcome to Sky Valley" and "...And the circues leaves town" There are those who will dispute this but Metallica's first four studio album are a must. Minor Threat "Complete Discography" Minutemen "Double Nickels on the dime" Misfits "Walk Among Us" Motorhead "Overkill" "Ace of Spades" "Motorhead" Neil Young "Everybody Knows this is nowhere" "after the goldrush" "tonight's the night" "harvest" and "decade" Pantera everything but The Great Southern Trendkill, don't know why, but i didn't enjoy it 80's R.E.M. Slayer "Reign in Blood" "South of Heaven" "seasons in the abyss" Black Flag "Damaged" and "My War" The Who "Who's Next" "The Who Sell Out" "Quadrophenia" "Tommy" Spoon "A Series of Sneaks" "Girls Can Tell" "Kill the Moonlight" That, couple with most of the above, should bring you up to speed.
