Lol.
That and we seem to be on very different sides of the music spectrum.. |
I'll listen to anything except "the mainstream".
How my fellow humans can prefer the "Crazy Frog" over "The Bravery" will forever be a mystery. Even my dog can tell the difference (and spaniels are the thickest of the thick)! |
"The Mainstream" isn't so bad, I listen to quite a bit of it. There is a whole lot of it that is complete and utter crap but then the underground stuff is much the same to me.
I think I'd rather claw my ears out than hear whatever the hell the Crazy Frog song is. From other conversations it's connected to cell phone commercials at night, which I would rather hang myself than watch. |
Dream Theater - Octavarium.
|
Most mainstream rap is garbage too. Mike Jones.. honestly WTF is that garbage?
|
You just said it, garbage!
|
Rap isn't garbage. Just alot of the popular stuff.
|
Flogging Molly - Within A Mile From Home
Great album, maybe one or two boring songs (like the collaboration with Lucinda Williams :rolleyes:), but with some stunners like Queen Anne's Revenge (a must hear, trust me). System Of A Down - Mezmerize Great. Nuff said. The Strange - Coming Undone (single) Includes some live songs from a concert I've been on !!! |
I know, I have many an excellent rap album.

I don't think I have one song of Busta Rhymes.. come to think of it, I don't think I could even name more than one song of his..
Method isn't bad though. Never heard of Atmosphere.. |
I knew you were a man of many flavours Spazz. :)
Some of my faves (from memory). It's hard to put a finger on it at work (and 10 minutes till a presentation for which I've prepared absolutley bollox all). Ah well, I'll blame it on rap music. A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory Atmosphere - Lucy Ford Dalek - Gods and Griots Dynamo Productions - Analogue Public Enemy - Apocalypse '91 Disposabl Heroes of Hiphoprisy - ST |
Your into that vintage hip hop type stuff huh..
And who the hell is Atmosphere? Time for a google search.. |
That's the beauty of a forum (with taste). :)
|
Atmosphere is a half white/black rapper from the mean streets of Minneapolis MN. :) If you wanna check him out I'd say pick up "Trying to find a balance" first.

I've gotten heavily into alternative rock lately, and the following three albums I've recently purchased are a big reason. Most of the tracks are obscure or semi-obscure in the US, but I'm sure they're more popular in the UK (where these albums are produced). Some of the bands on them I haven't heard of before. I've marked my favorite tracks with three asterisks ("***").

That's you sorted then Chris. :)
What did you think of "Dr Baker" by The Beta Band? The video's shot in an indoor pool, it's one of the most bizarre things I've ever witnessed. |
Killing Joke - Night Time (1985)
http://stat.discogs.com/R/409587-1109591297.jpg A classic for "Love Like Blood" alone. I hate infectious music! :D |
|
Sexpod - Goddess Blues (1997)
Alt Rock http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...73634maldh.jpg God I love this CD. Another of my never be without it CD. |
The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan (2005)
A bit of a disappointment cos I prefer their faster stuff, but the album's pretty good anyway. |
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By (2001)
http://stat.discogs.com/R/26456-1111977364.jpg Ambience comes as standard. |
22-20's - 22-20's (2004)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...74689b6u1x.jpg Nay bad, somewhere between BRMC & White Stipes. |
Tapping the Vein - The Damage
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...19605574cm.jpg |
|
The Rapture - Echoes (2003)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...08785qfmrt.jpg Clever so-and-so's.... |
Superpitcher - Happiness (2004)
http://stat.discogs.com/R/308858-1094908892.bmp Reminds me of dubnobasswithmyheadman, only in electro. |
Alice In Chains - MTV Unplugged (1996)
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Layne Staley is just hauntingly dramatic, putting on one of AIC's better performances, especially as an acoustic setup...Jerry Cantrell's a great guitarist, but his backup vocals really shine too, especially as a match for Layne's... |
i like the second disc in the top: Shellac - Terraform (1998) very cool :)
|
http://punknews.net/images/covers/tb...ll_to_arms.jpg
Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution - A Call To Arms and.. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (can't find any album art for this) |
Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...62630d4337.jpg Been in a rap mood lately. Very odd indeed. Quote:
|
Various - International DeeJay Gigolos CD Eight (2005)
http://www.discogs.com/image/R-425195-1111979699.jpg Not as electroclash as previous releases, perhaps DJ Hell's bored? Still, some decent tracks, P.O.D. sound remarkably like Duran Duran. :D |
|
Kaizers Orchestra - Ompa Til Du Dør
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...72380lyrte.jpg Odd, but strangely compelling Norwegian folk...rock? band. The main song (Kontroll Pa Kontinentet) is extremely catchy. The rest isn't far behind. |
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power (1992)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...132341b24x.jpg I heard walk on radio and it made me all obsessed with this album again. |
Vulgar Display of Power must've been one of the first parental advisories. I notice it's placed prominantly on the cover (as a selling point). :)
Bella Morte - Where Shadows Lie (1990) http://www.discogs.com/image/R-418800-1110810046.jpg Class piece of darkwave. |
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P...2.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Awesome. Haven't been so good since These Days. I'm so pleased :D |
Heh, That label draws teenagers nicely. I bought that CD from a friend who hated it for a whole buck, ended up being one of my high school favorites.
Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...35539rbljf.jpg "More a question than a curse, how could hell be any worse?" |
Pylon - Gyrate (1980)
http://www.rocklab.it/image/cover/big/pylon_gyrate.gif Not unlike Xmal Deutschland. |
