B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Since I don't want to start a third "Reccomend Me" thread, I guess it can go here. Can ya'll give me some good Tiger Army, Cure and Rage Against the Machine songs? Thanks. I'll go with The Cure and Rage. The Cure: The entire Disintegration album "Boys Don't Cry" "The Kiss" "Just Like Heaven" "The Lovecats" "Why Can't I Be You?" Rage Against the Machine: "Bombtrack" "Know Your Enemy" "Freedom" "Killing in the Name Of" "Township Rebellion" "Freedom" "Revolver" "Rodeo" "Bulls on Parade" "Voice of the Voiceless" "Testify" "Mic Check" "New Millenium Homes" "Maria" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Man, I love the Cure. I won't recommend singles cause I'd recommend too much. Seriously though, Disintegration gets the press, but their best album was The Head On the Door. That's actually the only Cure album I'd confidently recommend to somebody who doesn't want to listen to a whole album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Isn't Slint the band that Abby Gennette (sp?) fronts? I remember her mentioning that she was in a band with a name that sounded like that back when she hosted MTV2 Rock. She's one of the hottest women ever made, so I'd like to know if her music is any good. I dunno, her band is nothing like Ashlee Simpson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 I wonder what kind of crowd the Ashlee Simpson tour is going to draw? Either A. Her adoring Hillary Duff loving, inept, teenage girl fans or B. People going to mock her/seeing if she's the "real deal". I'm guessing both, she's playing 5,000-6,000 seat venues with no name opening acts, which seems a little to big for her to me.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 I'm listening to Thug Matrimony right now. Some of these songs are stunningly great, but the best line comes from Tampa Tony on "J.O.D.D.": "No child support, so swallow my kids, ho." Awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 WHY is Vanilla Ice BACK?!?!?! He never really left, he just lost about 99% of his fan base. He's released like three albums since his hey day (The one where he had dreads, the one where that was produced by Ross Robinson, and a *shudder* double album) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 I'm listening to Thug Matrimony right now. Some of these songs are stunningly great, but the best line comes from Tampa Tony on "J.O.D.D.": "No child support, so swallow my kids, ho." Awesome. Check out his album cover: I think it's funny cause he looks kind of retarded. You know, I even like the message tracks on Thug Matrimony. I think part of it is their placement. He hits "These Are the Daze", kind of a soft message track, and then "I Wanna Sang" which is even more, and you're like "Ok, two in row. I didn't know Trick had it in him". You think it's safe and then... "Children hold ooooooon... to your dreeeeams!" It's almost like he's trying to be funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 More Thug Matrimony thoughts: "4 Eva" is probably the best thing I've heard with Jazze Pha's chubby-ass name stamped on it. And it's where he says the name of the album! Bonus points! Edit: It's also a lot better than T.I.'s new album, Urban Legend, which I listened to in full yesterday. Nothing on there is quite as good as "Rubberband Man," but it's decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 "Sugar (Gimme Some)" is my favorite song on there after "Let's Go". Talking Heads! Trick Daddy's cultured. Cool ending on the album too... just when you think it can't get any better, the fuckin Ying Yang Twins show up. That's going out on a high note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
