The R&M Recommendations Thread

[TojesDolan]

The seed 2.0 is the best song, at least the most recognizable one.

[Iron Bars]

Can anyone recommend me any songs by The Roots, or any groups/artists that are similar?

Check out Things fall apart (album) and then especially the song You got me with Jill Scott.

[joe_fresh]

Anyone recommend me a Small Faces album. I have heard the song Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and some others but their more psychedelic stuff appeals to me more.

Although this isnt rock or metal, can anyone recommend me some Amon Tobin?

[Luc214]

I was looking for a new band to get into that had a female leadsinger in the rock or metal genre preferably. I've already listened to Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, and Night wish, but i really want to get into a new band.

thx

Tristania.

[Sleeper]

Im thinking of getting into porcupine tree, should i get In Absentia or Deadwing? Also, are they similar to pink floyd at all?

Also, what is a good Yes album to get? i think i might just get at greatest hits but im not sure.

[Mr. Black]

So I got into Slayer, by means of 'Reign In Blood'. What's the next best album?

[Stoic]

So I got into Slayer, by means of 'Reign In Blood'. What's the next best album?

I would say either Seasons in the Abyss or Hell Awaits.

[Mr. Black]

Oh good, that's what I was opting for.

[Txus]

Well they have some heavy Floyd influences specially with their earlier albums.

Get In Absentia BTW.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Can anyone recommend me any songs by The Roots, or any groups/artists that are similar?
Aesop Rock, Outkast, Common

If you want a rap group with great instrumentation, but leaning more towards hard rock/techno, try Asian Dub Foundation.

[musicforlife]

Can someone recommend me the best Miles Davis album, to buy.

[Riva]

Probably Bitches Brew, Sketches of Spain or The Complete Birth Of The Cool.

[Luc214]

So I got into Slayer, by means of 'Reign In Blood'. What's the next best album?

I like their newer stuff, like God Hates Us All and Diabolus En Musica

Rise Against.
Social Distorstion.
Bad religion , even though they're pop punk.
Bands like that like that.

[GenuineImitation]

You would probably get better responses in the pop punk forum.

[musicforlife]

Okay.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Bad Religion aren't pop punk. Just go for DFel's list, especially AFI and the Descendents.

[MRDuCran]

How about listing a few decent Black Label Society songs for me, preferably ones that will let me experience how bad ( \m/ ) Zakk Wylde can be. I have some instructional thing but I don't have an .avi codec to view it at the moment, so maybe a few tracks will help me out, thanks.

Suicide Messiah



Thats all I can think of now.

[MRDuCran]

Cheers dude.

[Stormrider]

The words "modern" and "mid paced" are used too much. The scariest part is this:




Sounds like a HUGE sell out. I must get a new favourite band :-\

:eek:

No Stoic ! NO !

And what does this have to do in the recommendations thread anyways :p

NP Iced Earth - The Hunter

Jesu.

Perhaps, anyway. Vaguely similar, but I'm of the opinion that everyone should like them.

[MRDuCran]

I'm back again.

What are some awesome Norther tracks? Or anything else from Finnish metal bands along those lines, except Children of Bodom, I already whore them. :)

[I'm Charming]

Kalmah? Anything from The Black Waltz may do you proud...

Stuff from Imperanon you may find to your liking as well..

[MRDuCran]

I've got a few Imperanon tracks. They're ok, they sound a bit thin to me and get a bit repetative. I think I've heard one Kalmah song, the one with sweeps in the beginning, repcak is/was learning it.

[ArcLite]

Really all of Nothers stuff is good. Just dive in.

Nightwish are great and finnish.

I love Norther, but to my tastes, think they just got worse with every album. Dreams of Endless War is one of my favorite albums ever, Mirror of Madness was pretty good, but didn't have that same atmosphere that DoEW had. As for Death Unlimited, I'm just not a fan. But to DuCran, get a few tracks from each album and see what fits your taste. I also have Imperanon's Stained album and enjoy a good number of tracks on it.

[Holy Diver]

Hey, I'm looking for some progressive hard rock/metal bands to get into. I've been listening to Dream Theater a lot lately, which I like, but I'm looking for a band with less...excessive qualities. I love strong melodies and I want a band with clean vocals (no growling).

Some of my favorite bands are Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Deep Purple, and Judas Priest. I've heard a lot of the more famous progressive rock bands (King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd), so I'm looking for something a little less well known.

Any suggestions?

Damn. If you can withstand some death vocals. Check out Into Eternity. They have plenty of clear vocals. Half/Half or so.

Porcupine Tree is a solid bet, I'd think from what you listed.

[Deth]

Symphony X is good, but possibly pushing the excessive side. Give Camel a try as well.

Listen to Opeth

[Shattered_Future]

Andromeda
IQ
Ayreon (perhaps...not the Human Equation though, that has growling in it)
Ambeon
Star One
Spock's Beard
Evergrey

Actually, you're bound to find tons of great prog bands on the label InsideOut.

[G_Mac07]

Fates Warning would also be worth a listen. :)

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

Communic, Biomechanical, Scariot and Into Eternity might work for you.
thanks dude ill check them out

[I'm Charming]

thanks dude ill check them out


I'll second Into Eternity. They are excellent. Buried In Oblivion is an excellent album for of great riffage/solos, clear & death vocals and drumming.

[musicforlife]

Can someone tell me CD's a person who likes heavy metal and classic rock should get before all other CD's.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

for metal: Judas Priest - Painkiller.

[-The Frank]

Can someone tell me CD's a person who likes heavy metal and classic rock should get before all other CD's.

Any Iron Maiden albums

[Crysiss]

Any Iron Maiden albums

Maybe Edward The Great if the person hasn't heard any Maiden at all. That way he/she can pick based on that CD:thumb:

[-The Frank]

^nah, if he were to pick up a 'greatest hits' album then he should pick up 'the essential maiden' which covers every album maiden has done

[Crysiss]

That sounds much better. Im not much of a Maiden guy but they're a good listen.

I think maybe I should pick up that album if i got enough for four CDs:p


Oh yea, Any recommendations for a guy into Novembers Doom?

[I'm Charming]

for metal: Judas Priest - Painkiller.

Damn right.

The solo in 'painkiller" is insane. :thumb:

[joe_fresh]

Oh yea, Any recommendations for a guy into Novembers Doom?

To Welcome the Fade is probably the best album out of what I have heard.


Can anyone recommend me some carcass, but which is neither the grind that is Reek of Putrefication, or the melodic death of Heartwork. Is there anything more or less in the middle?

[Bartender]

Yep. Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious.

[MRDuCran]

Hey, I'm intereseted in looking into Decapitated, Cryptopsy and Hypocrisy some more.

[joe_fresh]

Which Cephalic Carnage album would anyone recommend?

Edit: And also can anyone recommend some Lux Occulta?

Lucid Interval for Cephalic Carnage

[Dave de Sylvia]

Can anybody recommend me some hair metal?

[Sleepy]

Can anybody recommend me some hair metal?

Dokken, Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P., Def Leppard, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Cinderella, The Cult, London Quireboys

Sorry, my knowledge of hair metal is EXTREMELY limited.

[Stormrider]

Its better then mine.

[Stoic]

Are you sure Dokken are considered Hair Metal?

[Dave de Sylvia]

What else would they be?

[Stoic]

Hard rock? :-\ Anyways, I'm REALLY ignorant when it comes to such styles.

[Sleepy]

Hard rock? :-\ Anyways, I'm REALLY ignorant when it comes to such styles.

Eh, categorizing is more a matter of personal taste, anyway. That was just my take on hair metal.

[musicforlife]

Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Warrant, those are all hair metal bands, that are okay.

[Sleepy]

Any of those do the trick, SOP?

[superflyjojo]

I'd like to get into the band Behemoth, anyone know which album I should start with?

[Sleepy]

Demigod to start - if you like what you hear, get Thelema 6 and Zos Kia Cultus.

[superflyjojo]

Demigod to start - if you like what you hear, get Thelema 6 and Zos Kia Cultus.

Thanks, I was actually thinking about picking up Demigod because I've heard Slaves Shall Serve, Conquer All, and the title track and liked them all. Thanks for the recommendation. :thumb:

[Tusk]

Would you categorize Styx in the hair metal category? How about the Scorpions? Ill go ahead and add those if so.

[I'm Charming]

Quoted For Truth.

Demigod is amazing.

[-The Frank]

Can anyone reccomend me a good live album from the rolling stones?

[Jacaranda]

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! its from the 1969 2 night show at the Garden in NYC. Its their best live album and probably only one that non-hardcore fans will like. Other then Live Licks maybe which was recorded during the Licks World Tour so its older Stones.
On a side note you could just ask in CR thread if you ever need Stone recommendations!
On another note, the performances (or about 5-6) from Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! can been seen on the Gimme Shelter movie.

[Riva]

Why would Spat Out Plath need hair metal? :p


And Styx and Scorpions aren't hair metal. Styx are classic rock, and Scorpions are arena rock/proto-metal.

[Leukeh]

I recently got my friend into Children of Bodom... and was wondering which of their albums you guys would suggest me 'lending" to him first?

[Riva]

The only album I like by them is Hatebreeder, actually.

[Sleepy]

The only album I like by them is Hatebreeder, actually.

That's probably their best album. I also enjoyed Something Wild, but after Follow the Reaper they just went downhill.

IMO.

[repcak]

Hatecrew deathroll is still a very good album!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Something Wild and Hatebreeder are the only albums that interest me anymore. Follow The Reaper has it's moments too.

[Stormrider]

Someone in that lil power metal thread that should be closed soon mentioned a band called Firewind that he described as "basicly heavier then Iced Earth with more powerful vocals". This got me curious. Can anyone name me 1 or 2 of their best songs ?

Thanks.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Steerpike did a write up on them I think. Look in that thread and there should be suggested songs :)

[Riva]

I've heard they're quite good. They have Gus G, the Grecian guitar virtuoso of Dream Evil fame.

[Vaper]

What would be a good my dying bride album to start with besides as the flower withers & angel at the dark river

[Bartender]

Turn Loose the Swans is well liked, I think.

[guitarist.kid]

I'm gonna see the Sounds of the Underground and I wanna know more In Flames could recomend me some.

Try out Buddy Guy - Damn Right I've Got The Blues.

[guitrguy]

I would also try some Robert Johnson.

[gohugatree]

Thanks for the suggestions.

[Shattered_Future]

You could also try some Gauntlet, if you're looking for something a bit heavier...it's rather heavy, but it's still very blusey.

[classicrockman]

Check out these artists:

Eric Clapton
Robert Cray
Muddy Waters
Gary Moore

[guitrguy]

Come to think of it, he should pick up the Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz To Come is also essential.

i want to get into de Gothenburg melodic death scene, but i just know in flames, so what other bands are good??

[the2stranger]

Hey, got a project and im having to make a mix cd of the music i've studied over the semester.

I have to use different genres, and i dont want to use the songs that we've studied in class, so I'm going to make a list of genres that I need to use, and you guys can give me your fave songs for the different genres!! Thanks if you guys feel like doing this, I have most of it covered but there's some types of music that i'm no expert on. I'll list most of the genres anyways cause i might change my mind if you bring up a good song.

To Add to this, in some of the genres I already know the artists, but why don't you guys suggest some good songs that I might use for them!


Genres:

Psychedelic Rock
Funk
Soul
Glam
Disco
Power pop
Early 70s Rock
Folk although im definitely choosing neil young so just give me a song
Early Punk
Metal (all subgenres too i guess lol)


As far as the bands i have going right now:

NoFX, Nirvana, The Beatles, Bob Marley, In Flames, gimme some songs that really represent these groups... their whole sound.

THanks if you guys feel like doing this.
/goes for the metal:

Necrophagist - Stabwound
Immortal - Unsilent Storms In the North
Arcturus - For To End Yet Again
My Dying Bride - The Cry Of Mankind/Croen Of Sympathy
Dream Theater - Learning To Live
Immolation - Unholy Cult (song)
Burzum - Jesus' Tod

A nice list :)

i want to get into de Gothenburg melodic death scene, but i just know in flames, so what other bands are good??
Dark Tranquillity, Arsis, At The Gates and Callenish Circle.
I'm not big on this, this will get you started though.

[NicetoKnowyou]

What Mars Volta album should i start off with?

[joe_fresh]

I'd go for the first one, De-Loused in the Crematorium. I'd say I prefer it to Frances the Mute in some ways.

[3rdplanet]

I've currently been digging Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Kayo Dot, Gong and in a similar vein, though off at a bit of a tangent, Screaming Headless Torsos. Does anyone have some more recommendations for cool Avant Garde groups?

I'd say go with De-Loused in the Comatorium.

For the folk part i can recommend to listen to:
Mago de Oz- Satania or Hasta que El cuerpo aguante this is a spansih group bu they are awesome i really recommend this group

I thought Mago de Oz were power metal?

They are.

[Riva]

Folk and Power are often very closely linked. Look at some of Galloglass' songs on their debut album Legends From Now And Nevermore.

I thought Folk was more closely tied with Viking metal? Those are the two I have trouble deciphering from each other, anyway.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Irish folk is the only folk worth a folk in this town.

[Riva]

Power/Viking/Folk/Black all tend to get blurry. There's the very genre specific bands that are easy to tell apart, then you have acts like Falkenbach, Mithotyn, Galloglass and Melechesh.

Enya for the loss...

Enya's new age celtic mysticism or something. She doesn't count. :angry:

I've never really confused Black Metal with Power Metal...Darkthrone and DragonForce sound pretty different to me. But I see where you're coming from.

[Riva]

Well, as I said there are the genre specific bands. Dragonforce and Darkthrone are both the archetypes of their genres.

I don't have nearly enough happy/hopeful music in my collection. Would someone recommend me something in any genre (besides power or progressive metal)? I normally listen to post/prog rock and singer/songwriter with random bits of other stuff.

Or any general things that I should listen to, but don't.

Arcturus. And Solefald.

[Bartender]

I named some bands for that at first, but then realised it was you with a different avatar, and my mind went blank.

Depends what you're looking for. They change about quite a bit. Akuma No Uta is an EP which has bits and pieces from most of their major styles, which is nice.

[Riva]

Greg, my boy, let's start with what you like.

I know you're not a stranger to electronica, so let's go for his newest album: Light + Shade, which is a very fine album.

For rock: Tubular Bells or Five Miles Out. For folk: Ommadawn or Hergest Ridge. For a rock/electronica blend: most of his other albums will suffice, but I recommend Tubular Bells III.

[G_Mac07]

Well, I took Barkeep's recommendation last night and I dug it, so I'll pursue with what you've mentioned when I get the chance. Thanks. :)

[Riva]

You should have just emailed me. I'm hurt, really I am.

Arcturus. And Solefald.

can some one say tome which is the best album of Eric Clapton?

Clapton's best solo album is Slowhand. But his work with Cream and other sideprojects in the late sixties and early seventies completely owns any of his solo work. Try a few of these:

Cream- Wheels of Fire (or any other Cream album)
John Mayall- Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton
Derek and the Dominoes- Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
Blind Faith- Blind Faith

Also there are a ton of live Cream/Clapton official live recordings and bootlegs out there and Cream is known as perhaps the greatest live band ever, so be sure to check out some live stuff.

I reccomend their self titled one

[Hard_Rocker_Revived]

I'm looking for the catchiest songs you guys know. Any style (except rap and Britney Spears pop). Preferably older material (Pre 90s), but still post the best 90 and 00 songs you know if you find them really catchy. Its getting harder to get into new bands at this point so I need some help finding them.

[Shattered_Future]

I've started to get into Nevermore and Arch Enemy, what is the first album I should get from each band?

Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World

Arch Enemy - Stigmata

Dude above - I find songs from Lacuna Coil's Karmacode to be unbelievably catchy...but that came out a few weeks ago. :p

Some Maiden songs I find can get stuck in my head for days at a time. Try The Trooper, Hallowed Be Thy Name, or Aces High for memorable, catchy riffs.

There is a gap in my music listening era... I know 70s, then 90s and 00s... so... some relatively newer songs... I don't know about catchy but you should look into Thrice (not so much their newest album but some of their stuff has some pretty catchy songs)

Uh... trying to think of bands that you may not know (since I have no idea what you have or haven't heard...) get back to me on that.

[spluvslh]

I made this recommendation in another thread but it is worth recommending again. Marty Casey and the Lovehammers have released their major label debut self-titled album. Check it out on their website www.lovehammers.com. (http://www.lovehammers.com) The Lovehammers spent years as an independant until Marty took a chance and went on Rock Star:INXS last summer. I know a reality show, yuck. But it was very well done and really showcased some talent. After coming in second him and his band signed with Epic and released their album. Probably way more than you wanted to hear. I think many will enjoy their music.

Get Shadows Fall instead of Opeth.

I disagree - Shadows Fall isn't bad, but Deliverance is one damned fine album.

If it was Morning Rise or Still Life I'd be inclined to agree. Deliverance never sat well with me, that's all.

Stormwarrior
For albums, I've only got Northern Rage but it's pretty damn good.

Valhalla and Odin's Warriors are good songs.

I'm searching for new band to listen to but yesterday I went to the music store and listened to Shadows Fall wich I had heard good comments about. I really liked the instrumental but this kind of vocals(like talking/screaming) like Killswicth engage I really don't like them. So could you recommend me some good bands more like as i lay dying or trivium for this kind of metal?

[csl316]

i've been wondering about Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Celtic Frost, and Napalm Death.

i hate to be so general, but where's a good place to start with all of them?

[Sleepy]

Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant or Death Cult Armaggedon. I can't really recommend on the others seeing as I only have 1 CD by each.

[csl316]

thanks. Death Cult is the newest one, right? i heard them at Ozzfest a while back and was intrigued. they seemed cool, but it was bright and sunny out and that sort of killed the vibe

[Sleepy]

thanks. Death Cult is the newest one, right? i heard them at Ozzfest a while back and was intrigued. they seemed cool, but it was bright and sunny out and that sort of killed the vibe

Death Cult is technically their newest, they re-released an earlier album, Stormblast a little while ago.

However, it all depends on what you're looking for. Death Cult focuses more on symphonic elements while Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is more along the lines of pure Black Metal.

[csl316]

i heard about the re-release and was about to pick it up. since it's early, though, is the songwriting and whatnot up to par with newer stuff?

symphonic elements are actually what i was looking for. death cult it is.

though someone at amazon wrote this:
"Save your money and don't waste it on this satanic sacrificial swank. This isn't even metal to me. This is a bunch of witches performing witchcraft through a metal sound just to suck people into their foolish and disgusting cult."

hope this doesn't corrupt me... though all's im looking for is a musically-excellent album

[Shattered_Future]

I could care less about the lyrical content on DCA, but the fact of the matter is the music isn't much...

Unbelievable drums, some interesting orchestral stuff, and Vortex's vocals (the clean dude) and not much else.

[Sleepy]

hope this doesn't corrupt me... though all's im looking for is a musically-excellent album

I'd only begin to worry about that is you take everything that everyone says completely seriously. If you're thinking an album is going to burrow into your mind like a parasite and corrupt your morals, you probably have mental problems anyway.

The guy who wrote that review is probably a priest, or an extremely conservative father with 3 daughters.
