The R&M Recommendations Thread

[shamed-angel]

read the thread, this thread is for answering requests

not just recommending whatever music you like!
I was answering a request from the guy above me?

[MAthiAS]

I'm looking for some good instrumentals by metal bands. I've already heard all Metallica instrumentals, so anything other than those would be good.
Arch Enemy - Hydra
Arch Enemy - Snow Bound
In Flames - Wayfaerer
Iron Maiden - Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)

the other guys covered it pretty well.

So Burning Bridges > Black Earth?

[Dancin' Man]

I'm looking for some extreme symphonic metal in the vein of Emperor - Prometheus. I like that black metal sound but with tons of melody and occasional clean vocals. I hear Dimmu Borgir is a bit like that.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

New stuff is like that, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon is like that.


Tvangeste doesn't have clean vocals like Emperor and Dimmu, but they are a great symphonic black metal band that gets no credit.

Bal Sagoth is more of an extreme form of symphonic epic metal, check them out.

Haggard is a very good band to check out if you want mideval type of sounding symphonic type of sound. They have alot of slower soft parts, but they have quite a bit metal kicking parts as well.

[Dancin' Man]

I've heard Bal Sagoth but I will definitely be looking for Tvangeste. I've got some older Dimmu Borgir but am now inspired to check out the newer stuff.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I have all Dimmu Borgir albums and one Tvangeste album if you want to get them from me on AIM or get samples or something.

Well I don't know much metalcore, but by those bands you'd probably like Lamb of God. Check out the songs Laid to Rest, 11th Hour, and Hourglass. What Metallica do you like?

[bloddyn]

[MAthiAS]

Anthrax, check out the songs Among the Living, Caught in a Mosh, and Efilnikufesin (NFL)

Testament, check out Into the Pit, Disciples of the Watch, Practice What You Preach, and Sins of Omission

Exodus, check out Piranha, Toxic Waltz, Tempo of the ****ed, and A Lesson in Violence.

[suicidal dreams]

I like most of Metallica, Load, Reload and St. Anger are kinda $#!%, but apart from that I've liked all I've heard and I own the black album which is rad. I'll check out Lamb of God, oh and I've downloaded Follow The Reaper by Children Of Bodom which is great too.

Thanks dude, anybody else got any more suggestions?

[CaptainWaits]

Everything Mathias said, and: Death Angel (similar to Anthrax) and Overkill (the best of Thrash bands, and it should be a good "go-between" of those bands)

I dont know why but when I listen to Amorphis (I recently got into them) the first band to come to my mind is Demigod but you're probably already familiar with them.

[PepsiMetal]

Can someone recommend me some slower softer music. I dont want something acoustic, but songs like nothing else matters, one (excluding distrortion and other stuff), Lord of the rings, iced earth - reaching the end, stairway to heaven, fear of the dark (slower part), etc.

Xul
Heru Ra Ha
As Above, So Below
The Act of Rebellion
The Alchemist's Dream
Conquer All
Horns Ov Baphomet

that depends as well. haha. crossroads is awesome, plenty of good electric blues, as well as some other genres thrown around in there. you get your virtuoso fill with vai and mclaughlin but you get clapton, buddy guy, hubert sumlin and many other blues greats. that would be my choice. but i already have it. so it would be repetitive...

The Wildhearts - Earth vs The Wildhearts

[Dark_Horse_335]

Hmm, the Wildhearts. Never heard of 'em. I'll have to check 'em out :thumb:

[Bartender]

If you're looking for metal, they won't be what you're looking for, but your question was very vague..

It's just more or less my favourite album is all, so it seemed like the most natural one to respond with.

Why do you ask, though?

[3rdplanet]

Been listening to Be by Pain of Salvation all day today and I love the piano in it.

Does anybody have any recommendations for similar stuff?

[MAthiAS]

What kind of band are the Wildhearts?

[Invicta_Veritas]

I need various recommendations based on some of the things I have right now, which are:

Nile-In Their Darkened Shrines
Vehemence-God Was Created
Kataklysm-Shadows and Dust
Dimmu Borgir-Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
The Black Dahlia Murder- Unhallowed
Dillinger Escape Plan-Miss Machine
In Flames-Soundtrack to Your Escape

Also, I used to own Morbid Angel-Covenant, but gave it away after first listen. Now I wish I hadn't.

I am going to check out Emperor, Amon Amarth,likythea aflame (sp), more In Flames, and I've also heard newer Kataklysm is good for being more melodic. Any other suggestions?

[Alessandro]

Crossroads was my choice at first, but then I saw this other DVD (Sessions for Robert Johnson), then I couldn´t decide between the 2... But as you said, Crossroads has other genres, so maybe that one will be my choice. Thanks! :thumb:

Can anyone recommend me some Mars Volta songs? I listened to a few ones (actually a couple), but I´d like to know some more songs, because I heard many people saying that they´re a talented band, and from what I´ve listened so far they do seem to be talented. So, any sugestions?

[Spectrum]

Let's say I wanted to really show my Indie pride and get into some Indie artsits. The only stepping stone I can think of would be Damien Rice. What would you suggest I try?

Thanks.

Does anyone like My Dying Bride? Someone told me they were "Doom Metal" and if thats what real Doom Metal sounds like im not impressed :upset:

*Rambles on more....

:wave:

[Invicta_Veritas]

My Dying Bride, doom metal? I don't exactly know the definition of doom metal, but I'm not thinkin they are it.

[Jom]

Doom metal is very slow, depressing death metal, basically. It tends to be very atmospheric and dark sounding. The vocals are the normal low, gutteral death vocals, but in a few of the bands I've heard, there's been a higher vocalist too.

Old Katatonia, old Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Shape Of Despair are good examples of doom metal... so to answer your question, MDB would fall under doom metal.

[Bartender]

Sorry AH, but slowed down death metal (such as MDB, Paradise Lost, Katatonia) aren't really doom metal; they're just that, slowed down death metal. It often gets called doom/death, I think.

Pure doom metal is Jondur's domain, and is basically a direct descendant of Black Sabbath. The vocals are usually clean and actually sung, and it's basically a much heavier, louder, and often more theatrical (and slower) extension of traditional heavy metal. Bands to look into; Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Solstice, St Vitus, Trouble, The River, Reverend Bizarre, Thee Plague of Gentlemen.

(some of those I've actually heard, some I'm just taking on Jondur's word)

[Jom]

Uh oh.

Ignore my post, then :sheepish:

[Shred Danson]

I've never thought of Paradise Lost as doom...

Sorry for posting in the middle of a genre debate, but I have some recommendation requests.

I have Dream Theater's "Train of Thought", "Images and Words", and "Scenes from a Memory" (I also have the Live at Budokan DVD, and Liquid Tension's first album), and I am hoping to buy another album, which one album should I get next? Am I missing out on a classic?

Also, on a similar, progressive theme, I'm starting to like Symphony X, which album is best to buy first, to get me a real taste of the band?

And lastly, a first Helloween album, I like what I've downloaded, and would like to buy an album, and possibly build upon that.

Thanks a lot, I'll be happy if you can answer at least one of my questions.

Rock N Roll: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Elvis Presley, Everly Brothers, Col Joye and Boom Crash Opera.

Classic Rock: Tom Waits, JJ Cale, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Uriah Heep, Toto, Steppenwolf, Stevie Wright, Grand Funk Railroad...

[Bartender]

If you're looking for AC/DC style rock and roll, check out Young Heart Attack. They're a young band, only have one album out to my knowledge (Mouthful of Love), but it's fantastic. The male vocalist (they have a male and a female vocalist, and the interplay between them is one of the highlights) seems to be trying to be both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson simultaneously. There's a track which steals part of a Who song, I think, and a cover of an MC5 song. Excellent live, too.

[Treebeard]

I have the album Day Into Night by them and I have been pretty blown away by it. What do you think of them and what other albums of theirs are worth checking out?

[Mind Revolution]

can someone recommend me some unearth

[Dude3]

I'm going to buy a Cd later today. Here are the choices: Children of Bodom-Follow The Reaper and Death-Human. Which one should I get??? :confused:

[Bartender]

Human, definitely. Follow the Reaper is probably CoB's best album so far, but everything Death have done is far better than everything CoB have done, so far.

[MAthiAS]

If you're bored, see if you think you know something I would like based on my current favorite artists...
Exodus and Judas Priest

And I'd personally go for Follow the Reaper, but I haven't heard all of Human.

[metalhead657]

hatebreeder - good cd and cob's somewhat new song ' trashed lost & strungout is good

[metalhead657]

unearth songs :

For a while I've been on a long Classic rock/Dead Head/acoustic binge, but recently I've been blowing the dust off my metal albums and listening to alot of that again, but I've been eager for new music. Now, after cruising this forum for a couple weeks I really want to hear some more black metal. The only background i have in black metal is old mans child, old dimmu borgir, some "Filsofem" Burzum songs, and (not saying they ARE black metal for anyone who would like to tell me otherwise) Cradle of Filth. If anyone could make any reccomendations, especially particular albums and songs, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

any particular songs by Darkthrone, Immortal, Emperor, and Judas Iscariot?

[Dancin' Man]

I really like Emperor's later albums (Prometheus especially) but that's not really the old school black metal sound.

[Hammerheart]

any particular songs by Darkthrone, Immortal, Emperor, and Judas Iscariot?

Get all of each bands cd's. Get Judas Iscariots "Heaven in flames" especially though.

[Dancin' Man]

I don't have any Judas Iscariot yet. I still have yet to ever hear them.

[iamtheking]

I know alot of you here probably don't really like mordern rock or nu-metal but i need some suggestions on morden rock bands. My band is going to enter a talent show and We were thinking of doing a cover of some mordern rock song which is abit mainstream but still unknown to many people...Lyrics have to be clean too.....and its best if the guitar is in standard d tuning which makes it so much easier to play chords(our guitarist is good but he's abit sloppy joe on chords ) So can anyone please give me suggestions...thanks.

[the2stranger]

try Porcupine Tree, one of the GOOD rock bands, at the moment
or
Radiohead, Saybia, the flower kings
or otherwise

pff, and the level drops

Jet
Maroon 5
Franz Ferdinand
the darkness ( they're quite good actually)

enjoy

[LeperAffinity]

I don't have any Judas Iscariot yet. I still have yet to ever hear them.
I ca see why people like them, but personally they bore me somewhat. Some of the songs get repetitive.

[hatchedinalab89]

yo guys, was going to go to ozzfest this year, but west palm got cancelled due to the hurricanes. Im gonna need some....

Judas Priest
Black Label Society
Slayer
Atreyu

also, if you can think of any better ozzfest bands that were on ozzfest, i'd appreciate you list those. (i got black sabbath, slipknot, and hatebreed covered.)

EDIT: Not on ozzfest, but i like the way they sound, Rob Zombie.

[MAthiAS]

For Slayer, check out these songs:
Angel of Death
Postmortem
Raining Blood
South of Heaven
Mandatory Suicide
Agressive Perfector

and the albums Reign in Blood and South of Heaven are my favorites of Slayer, though Hell Awaits is considered pretty good (though I don't like it much) and Seasons in the Abyss is worth picking up.

[hatchedinalab89]

[Flopfoot]

Please recommend the best Rush songs you can think of, I've never heard any before

(PS I like both prog metal and rock / classic rock, eg Dream Theater and Led Zep, to give you an idea the kinda music you might recommend)

[Silenius]

YYZ is a good Rush song.

[LarsAgi007]

I havn't heard much of Rush, i do have one album, and i am thinking about covering some with the band... Would be nice to know some favourite recommendations please :)

[Arrakakaka]

I wish In Flames had a greatest hits CD.I need to know their best album.I currently have Clayman and Reroute To Remain.

[zola_bola]

The Amazing Verticalville – Totally awesome. First off they have no vocals. This may sound kind of shocking, but it works so well. It's basically Guitars, fast fast drums, and a little bit of synth. Without vocals they compensate by playing really **** fine melodic guitar. It's just all over the place and hyperactive as hell at times, but their selftitled album does have some more lulled parts. It's very experimental and somwhat prog, but their experimentation doesn't overtake their creativity and sound.

I encourage anyone to try and hunt this album down. I think there are some websites you can order it from. Personally I would have never found out about them if my friend (his friend knows the band) hadn't showed me their CD. There really isn't a good band I can compare them to; thy just have such a sound that's all their own. I so desperately want to hear others opinions on this CD. I'd be willing to share this CD on AIM or just give some songs away. The entire album is only 9 tracks and under 40 minutes long.

AIM: samtheruntkake

Edit: I've just been informed that they sound similar to Hella.

[Bartender]

^Sounds like it could be good, I may check them out later (when I have more time :().

Freak Out! or Hot Rats.

[Mister_Che]

I need Some recommendations. Only one CD from each band though:


Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Mars Volta

[munky_magik]

Megadeth:
Thrash sound: Rust in Peace
Metal sound: Countdown to extinction
Alternative(ish) sound: Crytpic writings

I know you said one only, but these are the three that best represent their different styles so pick One.

Mahavishnu Orchestra:
Birds of Fire - is a great album but the only one that I'm really familiar with. Try asking in the jazz forum.

Megadeth:
Thrash sound: Rust in Peace

Meh, i got a quick response, that's all I needed. I'll probably get all 3 once I get my next paycheck.

[Deconstruction]

Mister Che i would go for the new mars volta Francis the Mute. And what are some good black metal songs? Like emperor,Dimmu(not troo black) anyother black that i dont need slsk for and some symphonic black would be nice also.

[PinkFreud]

I need Some recommendations. Only one CD from each band though:


Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Mahavishnu Orchestra

mahavishnu orchestra - birds of fire
mars volta - deloused in the comatorium

[greenday14]

Okay, I need reccomendations. This can be songs or CD's.

Green Day (more of their old stuff, not that American Idiot)
My Chemical Romance
Smashing Pumpkins
Weezer
Social Distortion
Sum 41
The Killers
The Strokes
Modest Mouse
The Mars Volta
The Arcade Fire

KROQ's my favorite radio station, so if anyone knows what kind of stuff they play, I like that.

[Bartender]

Are those bands you already like, or bands you want recommendations for?

[Dude3]

What are some Amazing Death Metal Bands that I should be listening to right now? I want to expand my Death Metal Collection. SO, name a band, and put some of their best songs by them too.
Also, what are some of the best Mars Volta stuff???

[Kurtz]

What album should I get to start out with Captain Beefheart?

[static]

i like: Tool
A Perfect Circle
Rage Against The Machine
Metallica
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Mushroomhead
Faith No More
Dream Theater
Opeth
Cradle of Filth
Ensiferum

and i was wonderin if anyone had any other bands like these..... also, i don't really like metal vocals, and I like Mikael's vocals on BP most, if that helps.....k thanks

Mutiilation for black.
Loudblast (Sublime Dimentia album), Carcariass, Dungortheb and Luen Ta for technical death. They're not the highest quality technical death you could get but they're french ;).
Alchemist (or Alchemyst?) is another french (prog I think) group I've heard of(just heard of)

[Spoonman]

Thx dudes! I posted that yesterday cause I am leaving for france today. The Metal scene is slowly but surely moving from Scandinavia to France and I wanted to check it out. Thx again! :)

[the2stranger]

does anyone have an album by "canvas solaris'?
if so, is it any good?
and if anyone is willing to share this over the internet, I would be thanful cause I can't find it anywhere

[Bartender]

I have their Spatial/Design EP, and their Sublimation album. You should be able to buy both in the store on http://www.lasercd.com :)

[trev91388]

All right, here's kind of a request for some love...I'm into just about everything, but every CD I own, I've listened to about 10 times over, and I own a lot of freaking CDs (probably getting close to 200 now). So anyway, I'm kind of wondering about some music to expand my horizons. I'd like someone to reccomend me a precedential (word?) album or two or more from these genres...

Classic Rock
Alt. Rock
Country
Blues
Jazz

Thank you in advance.

[Bartender]

Well I don't know which albums you already own, or what you necessarily mean by the genres you give, but;

Alt. Rock:
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Faith No More - King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime
Faith No More - Album of the Year
Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
The Polyphonic Spree - Together We're Heavy
Technically not alt. rock, but similar sound;
Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food
Gang of Four - Solid Gold
Interpol - Antics

Blues:
Skip James - just investigate him generally. Most of his stuff recorded in the 30s, so sound quality can be pretty bad. Great music, though.
Muddy Waters
Actually, seriously consider the Blues Brothers (the film). Watch it, maybe buy the soundtrack, and investigate. Lots of excellent stuff there, of blues and related genres.

Jazz:
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (/cliche)
Miles Davis - In A Silent Way (for fusion)
Yusef Lateef - The Blue Yusef Lateef (a bluesy jazz album)
If you like piano particularly, check out Chick Corea/Return to Forever, particularly the album Return to Forever.
Others will be able to recommend you more jazz than I, though.

You may well own these already, though.

[TTTSNB]

Hmm.
I've been listening to alot of Death and Black Metal lately, and I thought it would be good to broaden my taste by listening to some more jazz. (I also want to study percussion in college, and you need to know jazz to get in) What would you people suggest? I'm open to most styles of jazz.
Also, what would be some bands similar to Vader? I have been enjoying them greatly, with the exception of the vocals.

Well, see my above post for some suggestions. I don't own many jazz albums, but I've not yet been disappointed by any of those I have bought. Well, I suppose I am potentially disappointed with Jaco Patorius' self titled, as I haven't give it a proper listen yet.

Also, what would be some bands similar to Vader? I have been enjoying them greatly, with the exception of the vocals.

Behemoth, but that's a word of mouth recommendation. I haven't heard enough of either to recommend properly.

I just found out about Evergrey yesterday. I downloaded a couple of songs of their official website and they sounded great. Can anyone recommend me some of their albums or any good songs in particular. I mostly like songs in the instrumental side especially guitarwise but I'm open to any other of their songs that sound good. Thanks for the help.

I bought 8 albums in that sale. 'Album of the Year' was one of the ones I picked up.

I thought, I'm not gonna be able to get them any other time for any less, so I may aswell.

Any recommend me some good Rock/Metal/Prog bands who use a Piano/have a Pianist in the band?

[munky_magik]

Dream Theater are kinda the obvious recommendation.
They have pianoesque moments, although alot of it is basically just keyboard shred now. Their earlier stuff with Moore was alot more restrained I feel.
I'll see if I can come up with anymore.

He was only going to buy four originally. He doesn't buy many CDs in general, so getting him to buy eight was a little achievement in itself.

Get None So Vile, you will never regret it.

And for Arcturus, get La Masquerade Infernale, just a purely brilliant album.

As for Ulver...it all depends on what you want out of them. They have changed from folk, to folkish black metal to trip hop to electronica, so it depends on what you want out of them.

As for Ulver, I read somewhere that Arcturus and Ulver have shared members in the past, so I figure I'll get black metal one.

I'm not to up on Punk so the list is a bit sketchy and theres a couple of different styles of Punk in there. Anyway, most of them fit under the genre and the ones that I enjoy.

Run through a lot of Middle-Late Radiohead. Tracks like "Pyramid Song", "How to Disappear Completely" can be rather creepy, and tracks like "Climbing up the Walls" is downright scary. I don't know if any of this is what you're looking for.

Oh, and look up a lot of Classical and Modern Classical music. Impressionist era Classical would probably have something of what you're looking for - just read the title, and the piece will probably reflect the mood or scenario suggested by the title.

Hey i need some help with iron maiden, i tryed to downloading alot of songs, but theyre fakes, so i need to know which cd is best to buy. is rock in rio a live CD that's kind of like a greatest hits CD?

You've gotten some bad information under your post.

Live After Death and Rock In Rio are both excellent Live albums.

The best Greatest hits to get is probably Best Of The Best, when it comes to song quantity (it's two discs).

If you want some good old fashioned metal, try Iron Maiden, Killers, Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind or Powerslave.

A more melodic version of Maiden is Somewhere In Time, and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, which is even more of a departure.

From then on (No Prayer For The Dying, Fear Of The Dark, Virtual XI, or X Factor) they play a more aggressive, simpler version of Maiden's original style, and then return to full glory with Brave New World and Dance Of Death, both of which feature the 'classic' Maiden line-up plus Janick Gers.

Hey, I'm looking for some bands that are like Jane's Addiction or any band with a good singer.

[Bartender]

Check out Porno For Pyros (Perry Farrell's project after Jane's), if you haven't already. They have two albums, both of which are good, but not amazing. Worth checking out if you're a Jane's fan though.

Other than that, check out both boyhitscar and Anyone's self-titled albums. Both rather Jane's-like in certain ways. I can upload some tracks for you to check out, if you'd like.

[Jacaranda]

Sure that'd be great. I love P4P already!

[Bartender]

Okay, here's a few tracks uploaded;

Porno for Pyros - 100 Ways (http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2H4VKHJRAJ43E03XKN1XX3SP92)
Porno for Pyros - Tahitian Moon (http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0GWTHMTEUOGD40RZ7ETWLLKRFO)

First, a couple of tracks actually involving Perry Farrell. This is his post-Jane's project, Porno for Pyros. I never really got into them that much (despite loving Jane's), but I have both of their albums anyway. These two tracks are both from their second album, Good God's Urge, which is somewhat better than the first, self-titled one.

boyhitscar - Lovecore (Welcome to) (http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0WIRDL5V27PV602GKETF3A7D9Y)
boyhitscar - As I watch the Sun F*ck the Ocean (http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3FO1HDA6XOUPN1UUM6OJBM3MCF)

boyhitscar are a kind of alt. rock band. They only have one album that I know of, their self-titled one, from which both of these tracks come; after that, they've been having troubles with bassists and drummers I think, so they haven't been able to record a follow-up. Anyway, I always associate them very closely with Jane's Addiction. The shout of "three, four!" at the start of As I Watch the Sun **** the Ocean might as well be a Perry Farrell sample, but the vocalist doesn't often imitate him.

Anyone - Don't Wake Me (http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=10BYOEYPTUODV3V3WY9U60LG1V)
Anyone - Kissing God (http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=24YECI85A4XEC1S359B4DLW5XK)

These last two tracks are by Anyone. They're a much more obviously "psychedelic" band - they used to hold huge free concerts, with free drugs for all who came, in big warehouses - and occasionally they sound a little gimmicky, but there's some good stuff on their album, which again is self-titled. I think it's their only release, apart from a self-released live album from the warehouse drug-festival days, which I don't have.

Hope you like something here, and I hope someone else downloads them too, so all this doesn't go to waste.

[wrongnote85]

anyone who likes classic rock and/or metal should check out the band Angel Witch. cited by members of both Metallica and Megadeth as a big influence. plus i think they're fu_king cool.

[Jacaranda]

Hey thanks I checked out Anyone so far "Kissing God" Only played for about 10 secounds till it looped.

Wow great song, "Dont Wake Me" I'll have to check out their CD. Very poppy-ish sounding song or at least the Chorus is. Yet dancable like Janes Addiction.
I like all the bands P4P is a very slower and more mature JA. Thanks for the good bands.

[Zion Gates]

does anyone no any bands that sound like primus, or oysterhead, or old chili peppers....merci

Are you looking for bands that are heavy on bass?

[Dude3]

Okay, I need a few recommendations.
First, what do you think is the best Death Cd? I'm leaning towards Human, but I'm not sure yet.

Next, what Testament Cd would you guys recommend?

Also, what Dream Theater Cd would you recommend?

And Lastly, what Opeth Cd would you recommend? I already have Blackwater Park, and I love it.

Go with Human

Still Life

[maggot4875]

whats the best tool cd because i just recently got into tool i was thinking maybe lateralus but wasnt exactly sure,and what are some good bands kind of similar to unearth,mostly the vocals,but thats not medolic,also can someone send me any links of songs from tool to download and listen

[Huber]

Songs to download from Tool...

Well, the more rockish songs are:
Stinkfist
Sober
Parabol/Parabola

For something heavy, download Ticks and Leeches

For just straight Tool greatness:
Lateralus
Third Eye
Forty Six and Two
Eulogy
Push it
The Grudge


It's hard to think of a bad Tool song. Those lists are definetly incomplete. Your almost safe downloading anything.

[RiceMonster]

I'd recommend Human as well.

Also, what Dream Theater Cd would you recommend?
Scenes from a Memory

And Lastly, what Opeth Cd would you recommend? I already have Blackwater Park, and I love it.
Still Life should do you good.

[MAthiAS]

Next, what Testament Cd would you guys recommend?
The Legacy

[Jom]

What Dream Theater Cd would you recommend?

For heavier stuff, go with "Train of Thought" or "Awake."

For lighter stuff than the above albums, I enthusiastically recommend "Scenes From a Memory," and "Images and Words."

I can send them your way so you can try 'em before you buy 'em :)

Just let me know through this thread.

I don't know a lot of Genesis, but I know Cinema Show rocks my world.

[shadow_stalker]

I don't suppose anyone can help me find his band...

I think their name is something along the lines of long-time dead and they play thrash metal kind of music. :confused:


If anyone could help that would be great, thanks.

I already have Slaughter of the soul.


I might end up having enough money for both though. :)

[peacesells1256]

can some one recomend me some Blinf Guardian?

[Permanent Solution]

I only have Nightfall in Middle Earth, and honestly that album works best heard as a whole :-/

[peacesells1256]

can anyone recomend me some good blind guardian songs to listen to?

[Dude3]

What Shadows Fall album should I get??? I already have The War Within.
Should I get "Of One Blood", or should I get "The Art of Balance"???
Thanks :thumb:

[LeperAffinity]

AoB is closer to War Within, but in my opinion Of One Blood is better.
