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)

YYZ is a good Rush song.

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 :)

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

I'd say Whoracle.

Thanks,I'll check it out.

I need some Frank Zappa recommendations. He has quite a large discography and i just don't know where to start.

[QUOTE=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.[/QUOTE]

bump, thanks for the slayer btw.

[U]The Amazing Verticalville[/U] – 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.

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

[QUOTE=i2 enegade]I need some Frank Zappa recommendations. He has quite a large discography and i just don't know where to start.[/QUOTE]

Freak Out! or Hot Rats.

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


Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Mars Volta

[B]Megadeth:[/B]
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.

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

Mahavushnu Orchestra: Birds of Fire - is a great album but the only one that I'm somewhat familiar with. Try asking in the jazz forum.[/QUOTE]

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

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.

[QUOTE=Mister_Che]I need Some recommendations. Only one CD from each band though:

Megadeth
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Mars Volta[/QUOTE]

mahavishnu orchestra - birds of fire

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.

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

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???

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

A Perfect Circle

Metallica
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Mushroomhead
Faith No More
Dream Theater
Opeth
Cradle of Filth
Ensiferum

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)

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! :)

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

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

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.

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 [i]Return to Forever[/i].
Others will be able to recommend you more jazz than I, though.

You may well own these already, though.

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.

[QUOTE=the thing]Also, what would be some bands similar to Vader? I have been enjoying them greatly, with the exception of the vocals.[/QUOTE]

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

hey Guys
I need some Recommendations .. something like hammerfall (CHAPTER V: UNBENT, UNBOWED, UNBROKEN ) :thumb:

[url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=185868[/url]

Just browse through, or else ask in, this thread. Most of the bands there will be at least superficially similar to Hammerfall.

Hi can anyone recomend me some pantera songs to download wanna see if they are any good thanks.

"Classic" recommendations;

Walk
Cemetary Gates
Domination
Fu[font=verdana]c[/font]king Hostile

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.

Waht are some really good Butthole Surfers Songs?
I heard "Pepper", and I love it. Its awesome.
