[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]Scenes From A Memory. All that needs to be said about that topic.[/QUOTE]
I thought it might have been best to start him off with something smaller and then hit him with the masterpiece after, That way he might appreciate it more

SFAM is the most accesible DT album IMO because it contains all the elements of DT, but in smaller ammounts than usual. Also trying to figure out the concept behind it is bound to keep anyone entertained for a good while :)

^^^^
I don't know, I think Images and Words and Train of Thought are great DT to start off on...I love em both, more than SFAM, though...Overture 1928 owns my *** :)

Images and Words and TOT are too extreme for getting into them I think.
SFAM gives a perfect representation of the band and all their parts, where as TOT is leaning more towards the the heavy, shred sound and IAW is very proggy and soft.
SFAm represents both these apsects and combines them brillantly, so IMO it would be the best album to be introduced to them with.

I feel the need to recommend "Fony" as they should be alot bigger than they are. [url]www.fonymusic.com[/url] check out a few of their songs in the download section of their site :) Its metaly quite heavy, but not like killswitch or machine head

What's a good Grateful Dead album, to get into their music?

American Beauty and Working Man's Dead are generally considered their best, although I find American Beauty to be very bland. If you're looking for more psychadelic stuff, Live Dead and Aoxomoxoa are both great.

Thanking you.

Whats some good new blues-rock stuff?

[QUOTE=TerryThorne]Whats some good new blues-rock stuff?[/QUOTE]
GOV'T MULE! Go now and buy The Deep End Vol. 1, you will be pleased.

Can anyone tell me which Queens of the Stone Age album I should check out first as a new fan?

Songs For The Deaf

Songs for the Deaf is very accesiable I would say, especially seeing as the major singles (asides Lost Art...) are off it.

None of their albums are bad though, I personally like their Self Titled album the most, but yeah, Songs for the Deaf.

Yep, Songs for the Deaf.

[QUOTE=TerryThorne]Whats some good new blues-rock stuff?[/QUOTE]

derek trucks band is good, as is joe bonamassa.

I'm looking to get into some new music I like a variety of musicians/bands including:

Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, AIC, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, Smashing Pumpkins, Velvet Underground, Radiohead, R.E.M, U2, The Who, The Rolling Stones, just to name a few.

if you know of some good bands in those type of genres please recommend something

Go to "User CP" on top of the page and click on "Edit Avatar" on the left side.

Since you like AiC, I would recommend looking into Mad Season, as well as Jerry Cantrell's solo work. Degradation Trip is better than Boggy Depot imo, but they're both good.

Frank Zappa?

can someone recommend some good megadeth songs other than ones on rust in peace?

[QUOTE=Nate22]I'm looking for some old thrash or heavy metal. Stuff like Anthrax, Testament, Metallica, Megadeth etc. Preferrably more obscure though, otherwise I have probably already heard it.

Also lookin for some classic rock reccomendations. At the moment I like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Deep Purple.[/QUOTE]


King's X - Dogman or Gretchen Goes to Nebraska

[QUOTE=KILO5203]can someone recommend some good megadeth songs other than ones on rust in peace?[/QUOTE]
Peace Sells
The Conjuring
In My Darkest Hour
Mechanix
Killing Is My Buisness
Skin O' My Teeth
Symphony of Distruction

These should do you good for now.

Can someone suggest some good melodic or technical death??? I love bands like At the Gates, In Flames and Carcass... running out of good music..

Oh yah suggest songs, not just bands, thanks

if you like classic rock, and thrash/metal, get some diamond head. songs like "am i evil", "blitzkreig", "sucking my love", and "the prince" are all good.

as for classic rock, check out the who and rush. "won't get fooled again", "pinball wizard", and "my generation" are good who tunes, and "2112", "spirit of radio", "yyz", and "working man" are some of rush's best.

Poverty's no Crime is very very underrated band, i can equalize them from the talent view (no technical but musicianship) to DT

alright thanks

I'm getting into The Dillinger Escape Plan and I'm wondering what cd of their's I should get first, thanks.

Personally, if you want variety and more accessibility, I'd say Miss Machine. If you want the one that made them who they are, I'd say Calculating Infinity. They only have two cds, unless you count the Under The Running Board EP and The Irony Is A Dead Scene EP, so you really can't go wrong with whatevery you choose.

ok thanks

I was looking at mark lanegan solo/screaming trees and can't decide what to get first. any suggestions????

Can anyone recommend me some Dungeon, or even send me a couple of their songs via e-mail? Thanks if anyone can help.

Recommend me some metal, any style, that I can branch into from a start of:

Metallica
Slayer
Pantera
COB
In Flames
Dimmu Borgir
Manowar
Iron Maiden
Arch Enemy
Blind Guardian
Dragonforce
Iced Earth
(Metalcore: A7x, KSE, Unearth, LOG)

Thanks.

Metallica = Megadeth
Slayer = Overkill, Exodus, Dark Angel, Sepultura
Pantera + COC = Crowbar, Down
In Flames + Arch Enemy = Soilwork, Dark Tranquility
Dimmu Borgir = Cradle of Filth, Amorphis (old stuff)
Manowar + Iron Maiden = Hammerfall, Helloween
Blind Guardian + Dragon Force + Iced Earth = Rhapsody, Evergrey, Symphony X, Angra, Sonata Arctica, Primal Fear
Metalcore = I couldn't give you a thing

Metalcore - Between the Buried and me (More like technical death metal with emo sections but it's close and good), Converge (again, this is hardcore I think but very good and close), Dillinger Escape Plan (Progressive hardcore grindcore)

Sorry that's as well as I can do. I don't like most Metalcore but this stuff is all somewhat close and very good.

nirvana-nevermind
pearl jam-10
the clash- the singles
pink floyd-the wall and darkside
anything zeppelin
GNR-appetite for destruction
