Guest wahoo Report post Posted July 2, 2006 While most of their scene was still writing songs all about being "caught in a mosh" Anthrax, the band that actually had a song titled that, was writing songs about political issues, history, Stephen King books, comic books and many other topics.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 w/r/t the Tindersticks discussion on the previous page, as far as singles go, the best was easily "City Sickness." "Dying Slowly" is their second best single. Of course, Tindersticks weren't a singles band, per se, but both of those songs rank among their very best, period, anyway.

DARRYLXWF 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 Bruce Springsteen 1. Born To Run Encapsulates an entire generation perfectly. The Rebel Without A Cause of albums. 2. The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle The most interesting musically. Rosalita is still the favourite of many Springsteen fans. New York City Serenade is his most under-appreciated track. Kitty's Back is always a fun listen, more so when played live. 3. Darkness on the Edge of Town A shift to more simple tunes, but arguably his greatest lyrical achievement with Nebraska. Prove It All Night is one of his best tracks live, Badlands and Promised Land also great. The darker focus was the beginning of what arguably has made him such a long-lasting and relevant artist. 4. Nebraska A great set of tunes that are heightened by the low-fi production. An album that needs to be LISTENED to and understood. State Trooper has a great mood for such a simple song. From what I've heard, a band version of Nebraska exists somewhere. Would be interesting to here it, though Springsteen definately made the right choice releasing it like this. Along with Born To Run, Nebraska has the best album cover of Sprinsteen's catalogue. 5. The Rising A really underrated album, It's amazing just how strong the songs on this album are. Lonesome Day, The Rising, Waiting on a Sunny Day, Mary's Place, Nothing Man are all fantastic. It would be a mistake to call this a September 11 album. The lyrical content of this album is consistent with all of Springsteen's themes, and no song can be exclusively consigned to a 9/11 label 6. The River Springsteens first double album, with the only really blow away track being the title song. Jackson Cage is the most under-rated rocker from this album, with special mentions to Hungry Heart, I'm a Rocker, Two Hearts and Ramrod. Point Blank has a nice piano intro, and many like 'Stolen Car'. Still, a lot of generic rock songs on this, and plenty of filler. I can't stand 'Drive All Night'. 7. Greetings of Asbury Park The critically acclaimed debut. Blinded By the Light, Spirit of the Night, Lost in the Flood and For You are the best tracks. Probably a better album than the River, but held back by shoddy production and some filler. 8. Born In the USA I don't understand why people can hold this album in such high regard with Springsteen's other albums, other than sentimental reasons, like it was the first album of his that they heard/bought. It sounds more and more dated as the years go by. The title track is still powerful and songs like No Surrender and Bobby Jean have held up well, but the emergence of synths in Bruce's albums really began to hurt him. 9. Devils and Dust A consistent album with no real stand-out tracks, besides the title track, which doesn't hold up even to his Nebraska tunes. Really, there's some decent songs on here, but no tunes that haven't been bettered by his earlier work, and no lyrical approaches that haven't been bettered by other artists. Better production with Nebraska with a wide range of acoustic instruments, but ultimately forgettable. 10. Tunnel of Love Some people love this album to death, though as it deals almost exclusively with the issues of life as a husband, it makes us non-married folk looking elsewhere for inspiration. Very synth heavy, another of his dated albums. His two albums released in the early nineties are dismal, with a couple of good songs to emerge out of them, particularly If I Should Fall Behind. His live albums a well worth investing. If I had to place them in the top 10, LIVE 1975-85 would be ranked at 2 and Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 1975 ranked at 3. They're that good. His live shows are his ultimate strength after all. His latest effort, of cover tracks of folk tunes, would probably be ranked between 6-8 depending on what mood I'm in. If you're after an album of American Folk Tunes, Springsteen's Seeger Sessions are well worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear bad music that's just noise thrown together with some decent drumming and Jon pissing and moaning about how he got beat up in high school for being a fucking tool. Only album I can listen to and not feel 100% irritated (and not even irritated in the good way) during is Follow The Leader since they at least took some time to make sure the songs had some flow to them. Everything Korn have done past Issues is wank. They have completly lost all sence of good music. They just release shit now. Twisted Transistor is one of the worsdt songs i have ever heard. Korn were good untill they wanted to be "bling". My Korn list would be 1. Korn 2. Life is peachy 3. Issues 4. Follow the leader 5. Take a look in the mirror 6. Untouchables 7. See you on the other side. I used to like Korn, im not ashamed, we were all 14 once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you don't like Joey's voice, so just stick with Hetfield's sexy load voice, which came about after they started wearing makeup. You know, like Poison. S.O.D. > Anthrax.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted July 8, 2006 No offense, but if you think All That You Can't Leave Behind is a better album from start to finish than War, you're not good at appreciating U2. I haven't been too bitchy about discrepancies between my rankings and another person's, but there's something there that just doesn't compute. Can you justify how a big swooshy-synth-pad-drenched, front-loaded, filler-heavy album like ATYCLB is superior to "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "New Year's Day," "Drowning Man," "Surrender," and "40"? I could see it maaaaaaaybe if you were just a huge Eno fan that didn't care for the Lillywhite albums, but you've got Boy way up there. So I dunno, man.

TheBostonStrangler 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Just personal taste at the moment, I guess. In a couple of weeks, that could change. Outside of the top 2 and bottom 2, everything in there can move around a few spots. My rankings are certainly liquid. As for why I chose ATYCLB, I do have a soft spot for that album. And unlike most U2 fans, I'm not a huge fan of Sunday Bloody Sunday. Good song and all, and I would never debate that it's one of their top hits, but it doesn't strike a chord with me the same way that other songs do. New Year's Day is a favorite of mine, but it's not enough to put it ahead of ATYCLB. Of course, if I go and listen to War right now, I might change it up again.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Good move. Don't neglect "Seconds," "Like a Song...", or "Drowning Man." Hell, every track is a winner except "The Refugee," and that's just the intro that's kinda sketchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
