Music Discussion (fair warning): Your Top 10 albums.

[Triple Zero]

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...

Kraftwerk - 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.

ok this is for just right now in space and time.

1- Pixies- Surfa Rosa
2- Cake- Comfort Eagle (anything by cake is in my top ten)
3- De-Phazz- Natural Fake
4- C-mon and Kypski - Where the Wild Things Are
5- Infect Mushroom - Vicious Delicious
6- Muse - The Resistance
7- Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral bonus Disk
8- Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Its Blitz!
9- The Beatles - Abbey Road
10- Peaches - I Feel Cream

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

[Rumckle]

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.

[LMNO]

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

Srsly.

[Freeky]

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

[East Coast Hustle]

Blind Guardian

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.

[Bu🤠ns]

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.

[LMNO]

Fuck.  Forgot another one.

Husker Du - Zen Arcade

[AFK]

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. 

[hooplala]

Captain Beefheart - Spotlight Kid

David Bowie - Low

Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All

Stooges - Funhouse

Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat

Nico - Marble Index

Pink Floyd - Animals

Led Zeppelin - III

Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years

Beck - Odelay

Cocorosie - La Maison de Mon Rêve

Blind Guardian

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.

I know, right?  I haven't listened to much by them, I just like a couple of their songs so far.
