Can someone recommend me some Motorhead. I only heard Ace of Spades and Line in the Sand. I have been meaning to check more of their stuff for years, but I keep on forgeting.

Someone help me out. Please.

Fallen Zero 10-11-2005 04:41 PM

I've been listening more and more to the CDs:

"This Godless Endeavor" - Nevermore
"The Inner Circle" - Evergrey

They are two amazing cd's, and i was wondering what are the best ones to get from these two artists, other than the ones i have.

For Nevermore, get Enemies of Reality or Dreaming Neon Black. Sorry, not sure about Evergrey.

[QUOTE=Med57]I'd just tell you to get [i]Ace Of Spades[/i] (the album). That's what I like most that I've heard by them. But yeah, that's probably the most generic pick there is.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Shadows Rise 10-11-2005 05:45 PM

Can anyone recommend me some metal bands sort of like Dream Theater? Although I hear symphony X mentioned a lot from this question. Im not a fan of their vocals so is there anything else? Thanks.

Bartender 10-11-2005 05:49 PM

Control Denied's self-titled album (essentially Death with a different vocalist, playing technical/progressive metal). You could also check out Liquid Tension Experiment, which I gather is like an instrumental Dream Theater.

Liquid Tension Experiment are a pretty good, and they feature 3 members from DT (Jphn Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess). Either of their two albums would make a good starting place.

Get the albums On Parole/Motorhead (hopefully the re-issue) and Bomber, as these are my favourite albums and they really are full of classic tracks.

Spiral Architect is kind of like Dream Theater. Avenged Sevenfold is kind of like a metalcore version of Dream Theater.

Contrary to everyone else, I would say to get their live album "No Sleep Till Hammersmith" it's a great selection of songs from the first four albums and the sound quality is much better than the albums themselves.

Nuke Broadcast 10-12-2005 09:55 PM

i see porcupine tree, yes, and team sleep mentioned on the forums quite a bit. ive gathered a little about them, but i'd like to hear a bit from each. any suggestions for songs to listen to would make my day.

Mailman 10-12-2005 11:38 PM

Hey guys,

I don't know if any of you have heard any Riverside, but if you could reccommend me something like that then I would be very grateful. (they are kind of symphonic prog, but google them for a review if you are interested. Very nice.)

Also, the song No Quater by Led Zeppelin, Indifference by Pearl Jam, the start of Present Tense by Pearl Jam, a few other songs - Could you recommend me some more songs with this kind of really mellow theme to them. I just love the No Quater feel.

Try the band Anathema, they are very atmospheric, not always soft though, not usually happy either, but it's awsome music

These are varying types of mellow
Broken Social Scene - Looks Just Like The Sun, Lover's Spit, Cranley's Gonna Make It.
Aphex Twin - Nanou2, Xtal, Iz-Us
Salmonella Dub - Push On Through, Ez On
The National - Daughters Of The Soho Riots
[url=www.fagan.com.au]Fagan[/url] - Dante, Slight Return, Beautiful Mundane
The Gathering - Great Ocean Road
the underwater theme from Donkey Kong Country on SNES

inferno seriosly rocks, its their latest album. there are tons of greatest hits albums to but only one is any good, i think its the only one actually released by the band to, not sure. its just called motorhead, the best of. it just has a grey cover with a picture of lemmy. its two discs. all the hits and tons of other essential listening.

I'm looking for some good Viking Metal/Folk Metal along the lines of Ensiferum and Finntroll.

I've also been trying to find some more bands along the lines of Kalmah, Norther, COB, etc...

Helloween is by far the closest sounding band, and they are almost just as good in my opinion.

Iron Maiden aren't Power Metal.

Try Galloglass and Dungeon, two of my favourite PM bands.

Shadows Rise 10-13-2005 05:13 PM

Can anyone recommend me some bluesy folk like music like Pentangle or some of Led Zeppelin's folkish songs like Battle of Evermore?

Toxik 10-13-2005 09:41 PM

I am doing a book project for school and need to get some songs that relate to the book. It doesn't matter what genre the music it is, any kind would be fine. Some stuff I'm looking for:

Eerie songs, songs about killing animals, angry songs, songs about wanting to go home, songs of despair, songs that lead up to a climax, songs about fear, etc.

By the way, the book is Lord of the Flies. So if you've ever read it then I'd appreciate any suggestions you have. Thanks.

I love that book!

I'll think of a few songs now....

EDIT: Hmmm.....try The Dillinger Escape Plan's "Baby's First Coffin", as its kinda climatic, and can sparsely apply to the book. Or the band Pig Destroyer, because the name obviously fits. Possibly Opeth's "Bleak", as that was what the situation was. The list can go on, of my half-as[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]ed song suggestions.
