Sarge, God Damnit. I swear to god you are my twin. I love that CD. It was defienitally better than A Rush of Blood to the Head.

Defientally buy it. Or, Ben Folds Five-Whatever and ever Amen.

Anything from Rush and you will be just fine.

I just bought Christmas Eve and other stories from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It is great. There is also another from them called Beethoven's Last Night, which sounds real good.

Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland.

The Sound of Light, by Steven Cravis (http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/cds/15/15476.html)

Its called preference and choice....i have noticed lately that people can make it at free will. Yeah, scary i know. If I go to a record store and pick up an album of RATM and an album of Incubus at the same time i won't explode...trust me. I tried with few other artists for some cosmic fun. I picked up the Beatles and Good Chrolette and I was fine, no physical harm happened to me.

Must be a hole in space time continuem or something.....

Ha. ha. Very funny.
I've met few people who like both. It's like calling yourself a massive punk and then sayingDead Kennedy's, The Nihilists - and Avril are your favourites. Or being a metalhead and worshipping Linkin Park.

That is where you confuse me with them. I do not label myself with anything....i listen to shit because it sounds good, to relax and pass time...be it RATM or Incubus. Music shouldn't have your nuts in a vice...it is after all entertainment and its first and last pupose is to entertain...spiritually or for a boring afternoon.

No, dumbass, I'm not talking about people labelling themselves. I'm talking about a trend. My favourite bands range from King Crimson to Phish, to funk jazz like MMW and Galactic or Keller Denson, to classic rock like Zeppelin, to the standards like Radiohead and Rage, to Klezmer and Indian like Zakir Hussain. So don't talk to me as if I don't understand the idea of not labelling yourself.

I would assert it is a hard fact that there are very few metalheads who worship Linkin. To be curious when someone says they do, would then seem pretty natural, no?

Ok "buddy" if you wanna continue this then I am going to have to ask you too remove that stick up your ass. You want insults then resort to the other morons here who love the chance of ad homing someone. Insulting is easy, keep your resolve and i am game, deal?

Yes, ofcourse, Linkin Park is and always will be a pop band, that is where their success lies. Metalheads are known to be hardcore fans and if some do worship Linkin Park then

1) They are posers
2)Their taste in music is more varied then they know or would like to admit.
3)They need an image to adhere to instead of simply not being apologetic for their choices.

"Yes, ofcourse, Linkin Park is and always will be a pop band, that is where their success lies. Metalheads are known to be hardcore fans and if some do worship Linkin Park then..."

Precicely. So my expression of surprise at your being a RATM fan and a system of a down fan makes sense.

Well now you know that i don't adhere to any class or genre. I am a fan because what they say, be it RATM or SOAD, i agree with to a great extent. They may not be held in the same regards but they both make good music, atleast that is my opinion.

What you're looking for (I'm guessing) is an album that you can pop in at any time of day, with any mood and enjoy it. Music that makes you appreciate music. You can't go wrong with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000003TAW/qid=1070259895/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-9034308-7220666?v=glance&s=music&n=507846">Weezer - The Blue Album.</a>

Anybody who denies this album is denying good taste. Best of all its cheap and looks cool in its geekiness. I think you'd love it.

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

wallflowers - bringing down the horse
not new, but a good cd

Counting Crows-August and Everything After.

Alice In Chains - "Dirt" (You'd prolly like if you like Seattle grung bands)
Incubus - "Science" or "Make Yourself"

Okay, these two CDs are very 80s, but I liked them, served as a nice counterpoint to Poison, Motley Crue, Scorpions, etc.

Alphaville - Afternoons in Utopia

Yaz - Upstairs at Eric's

Awesome CD - Poison - Greatest Hits

Anything by Wild Mountain Thyme/3 Pints Gone

Have you ever heard Kyuss?

while blue is very good, pinkerton is the best. :D

:cool: Agreed! Personally, Pinkerton is my all time favourite album. But it takes a couple of listens to fall in love with because its so unique and musically complex. (I was blown away the first time I heard El Scorcho. and falling for you.) So it helps to have some background on the band and their musical style. For that, you can't go wrong with the blue album. Its a rockin' album that anybody can fall in love with *instantly*.

BTW, TBA: DE is gonna kick ass this feb. As will album 5. They've been in preproduction for a couple of weeks now..:m:

Led Zepplin albums 1. 2.

Billy Idol

exellent suggestion, a4. i also agree with jimi hendrix - electric ladyland. if you don't have it, pick up are you experienced, too. it'll blow your mind.

also, for the best all around jazz album, miles davis - kind of blue. if you have that one, try art blakey and the jazz messengers - moanin'. that's some hot stuff.

oh, this is all assuming you already have master of puppets. you do, right?

I just don't get it. Why is Tyler so surprised that someone who likes RATM likes Incubus and SOAD as well? Are the bands that different from each other? All 3 bands put everything into their music. They all manage to make their music sound (at certain songs) furious as hell or (other certain songs) just really mellow. Tyler sounds like the sound of SOAD and Incubus are intolerable to the normal RATM fan. I don't know about Sarg, but my moods change, when my mood changes so does the music that I listen to.

Now, what I really can't believe is how people can only listen to one genre of music. Without change in music life becomes BLAH. How can those people stand that?

Anyways...yeah...Sarg...me big RATM fan...more so than Incubus...I know you want to be like me but...COME ON...and SOAD...pSHHHT...YEAH!! :D

Testify: I find if I'm the mood for that genre of music, incubus and SOAD just seem more weak and manufactured than RATM. I don't know, just a preference that I've noticed around me as well.

My music changes with my mood as well. Well, actually, a lot of the time my mood can chang with my music. Since about July (there is a reason I can pinpoint it to July) I've found the slightest things just make me happy. It doesn't matter if I've been fighting with my parents for the last 2 hours, or things just generally aren't going well, or I'm dead tired and bored at school - putting on any music I enjoy instantly makes me feel content. Music just makes me nice, relaxed, happy... a wonderful drug!

Anyway, as for my choosing different music with moods....
If I'm in the mood for something hardish I'll either go with deathmetal or something like rage. The thing is, I haven't been angry in....well as long as I can remember. So this music is for when I'm alone in the house and feeling energetic.

When did you first here of SOAD Tyler? The reason I ask is that I started listening to them early on in their music careers, when they first had their self titled album out. I agree, they have become slightly manufactured over the years, but I still am content to say that I am a fan.

As for Incubus, they are mellow, they are raging, but they are certainly not "manufactured".

You want to know what gets me about all this...Audioslave is in my opinion one of the most "manufactured" sounds recently. Now I won't say this about rage, because they have completely different music, but the new group just sounds a bit plastic wrapped to me.

I heard of SOAD about 3 years ago I guess. Just after I first got into Rage, actually.

As for Audioslave... Yeah, they suck ass.

Who's Next - The Who

CODA - Led Zeppelin

Cream ...... Wheels Of Fire double album. What a drum solo on this one by Ginger Baker.

Since you will probably end up throwing out any mainstream music you purchase when you turn 28 or thereabouts, consider downloading MP3s and making a donation directly to the band instead. It uses no plastic and creates no waste products.

My favorite band, EVER. Psychedelic and HEAVY! I love Queens of the Stone Age, but Kyuss they will never be.

By the way, I don't get the animosity toward System of a Down...I love them. "Manufactured"? Ummm, whatever that means. If you don't like their music, that's one thing, but they are COMPLETELY ORIGINAL in this era of music...name one band that sounds even REMOTELY like System of a Down. And what, RAGE's politics made them hardcore, but System of a Down's makes them "manufactured"? Explain, please.

Brandon

Kyuss do kick ass some times. 50 million year trip is a fantastic song.

As for my whole anti-SOAD thing, maybe it's just a product of my area/culture. There was a period where 90% of the people I knew obsessed over SOAD and thought they were the greatest, hardest rock band ever. The same thing happened with Tool.

It's like Dave Matthews. I can't stand Dave simply because the entire Jewish and upper-class Christian culture of North Toronto obsessed over them for years. It's fine music, and I recognize that, but I just hate watching absolutely everyone in a school listen to the exact same thing over and over.

Same goes for Radiohead now, unfortunatly. I remember OK Computer coming out when I was like 12 and buying it - and then everyone making fun of my love for Radiohead. Now 99% of my grade are in love with them and think OK Computer and Hail are the two greatest albums ever. It's so sad. I don't mind the music I love being popular music - fuck, I'm a phishead - but there is very little more revulting than the heard mentality that occurs in high school students.


By the way - get a Live Phish album. My advise is #7, 10 or 12 for a nice starter kit. If you don't want to dump the cash needed on one of these sets... just pick up Slip, Stitch and Pass. Not A Live One - Slip, Stitch and Pass.

Anything designed for wide-market acceptance is mostly commercialism.

My view on it is that anything with broad appeal is necessarily shallow. that's what mass-market appeal is all about: water something down until it is acceptable to the most amount of people possible. on the other hand if something is very deep it is of only limited, niche, appeal. that's how i explain the fact that most of my music i feel is very good, but i understand that it just isn't for everyone. some goes for others taste in arts, there are plenty of things that i feel are artistically credible, but i just don't like it. not my bag, baby.
