It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy) [this just narrowly edged out "Here Come The Warm Jets"]

other Eno albums I need to check, then. Even though I love ambient, I still can't get myself to liking his stuff...

QuoteKraftwerk - The Man Machine

It was a hard choice between this one and The Mix ... on the one hand this is the classic oldskool Kraftwerk sound, but I went for The Mix because I"m just much more likely to play that album when I want to enjoy some Kraftwerk.

Ah, crap.  I forgot Big Black's "Songs About Fucking".



And 000, those two albums are part of his Glam Rock "Idiot Energy" phase.  A few tracks point to his ambient stuff later, but a good chuck of them are like Roxy Music, but a lot weirder.

Triple Zero

Well, that actually sounds promising, in the sense that it won't be much like what I've heard so far then :)

May I also suggest 801, a band that lasted for about 3 live shows, containing Brian Eno and Phil Manzarez (or however you spell it). They essentially did covers of Eno and Roxy Music songs. Worth listening to IMO.
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

LMNO

Better suggestion is the band that contained Eno, John Cale, and Nico.

Srsly.

7. Cotton Eye Joe 2002 - Rednex
8. Dragostea Din Tea - O-Zone
9. Vain Glory Opera - Edguy
10. Fairytale - Edguy

Blind Guardian :lulz:

I think they're terrible, but I still like them. I like them even more, in fact, because they're D&D Metal and completely 100% serious about it.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years

This is BY FAR one of the best Waits albums.  I'll still be doing something and a random track from that album will blow through my head.

rong

holy shit - i can't believe i forgot all about "Weird" Al Yankovic - Dare to be Stupid
that definitely belongs in my top ten.

An album that for me was just on the outside looking in was the Parallels album by Fates Warning.  A prog-metal band that actually knows how to show off their quirky time signatures and technical prowess but also write and compose memorable songs with some heart to them.  Parallels was certainly one of their lighter albums sound-wise, but I think they were able to accomplish something similar to what Pink Floyd accomplished on Dark Side of the Moon.  Which was to have this moody undercurrent that just tied the whole thing together.

Oh, and also, Mark Zonder is a percussion god.  Mike Portnoy has nothing on him. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.
