[QUOTE=kas_ofi]hey guys, in about 6-7 months i am seeing the Stones live... Can you recommend me their essential albums since I only know some songs... thanx[/QUOTE]
Get [I][B]Exile On Main Street[/B][/I] and for earlier days get [I]Aftermath[/I], you could also go with [I]Let it Bleed[/I], [I]Between the Buttons[/I] or [I]Sticky Fingers[/I], or if your more psychedelic [I]Their Satanic Majesties Request[/I] is good.
For certains songs on each album for [I]Their Satanic Majesties Request[/I] I recommend: She's A Rainbow, Cithadel, 2000 Light Years From Home. For the album [I]Sticky Fingers[/I] I recommend: Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Sway, Brown Sugar, Wild Horses. For [I]Between the Buttons[/I] I recommend: Let's Spend The Night Together, Ruby Tuesday. For [I]Let it Bleed[/I] I recommend: Gimmie Shelter, Country Honk, Midnight Rambler, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man, You Got the Silver, You Can't Always Get What You Want. For [I]Aftermath[/I] I recommend: Paint It Black, Stupid Girl, Lady Jane, Under My Thumb. And for [I][B]Exile On Main Street[/B][/I] I recommend: Rocks Off, Shake Your Hips, Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia, Torn and Frayed, Happy, Ventilator Blues, All Down The Line, Shine A Light. But I recommend any thing pre-78 Stones.
You lucky dog... I will probably never have a chance to see them live :upset:

You won't regret it, I promise (unless you don't have an open mind)

Cryptopsy-None So Vile
Blut Aus Nord-The Work Which Transforms God
Anaal Nathrakh-Domine Non Es Dignus
Meshuggah-I
Pig Destroyer-Prowler In The Yard (you might like this, I'm not sure)

Those should get you started, since they are all fairly different, so if you like one of them, I can recommend similiar albums/bands to check out.

heres a few metal bands from different genres just to get you started:

the black dahlia murder
devildriver
children of bodom
cradle of filth
through the eyes of the dead
arch enemy
dark tranquillity
cephalic carnage
becoming the archetype
nile
suffocation

Nile - Annihiliation of the Wicked
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (people say this is the best 2nd wave BM album ever written, I disagree)
Death - The Sound of Perserverance
Bathory - Bathory
Bathory - Blood, Fire, Death
Death - Individual Thought Patterns
Cynic - Focus
Atheist - Elements

Go. Now. Listen to them. gogogo

Edit: Abortion's post reminded me, get Darkthrone's A Blaze in the Northern Sky as well

[QUOTE]Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (people say this is the best 2nd wave BM album ever written, I disagree)[/QUOTE]
I think it is, I would just place it above [I]Under a funeral moon [/I]and [I]A blaze in the northern sky[/I]

Right now im obessed with

Nevermore
Children Of Bodom
Biomechanical
Opeth
Into Eternity

Ok im stuck and its pissing me off for some reason I only seem to like 4 bands that I listen to frequently but I want more.

I want more bands like these,

Nevermore
Children Of Bodom
Biomechanical
Angra

And please not Death/Black/Doom cause I really dont like those.

[QUOTE=Magicaltroll]Check out these albums.
You won't regret it, I promise (unless you don't have an open mind)
[/QUOTE]

Well that's not really fair to say. Having an open mind is not synonymous with liking everything you hear uncritically. I'm pretty sure I have an open mind, but there are definitely albums I don't like.

True, I would consider myself reasonably open to music, but if I had a copy of [I]Fungus Amongus[/I] by Incubus I would hit it with a hammer until it smashed.

I listen to pretty much nothing ,( Metallica,slipknot,SoaD,Extol)

but of what i can say you shoudl listen to Extol.
666:evil: Distortion vocals
4 albums.. 1 being light, one being black/death, and one being thrash.
best of all... 666:evil: music...( kinda) cristian band xP kinda awsome just ton think about it xP

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]
You lucky dog... I will probably never have a chance to see them live :upset:[/QUOTE]

I am almost in the same situation with you... I mean for the last months I keep listening to Nevermore, Opeth and Biomechanical.
I am going to suggest checking out:
1) Wastefall, a Greek prog metal band which has all the good Nevermore and Biomechanical elements as well as some Pain of Salvation one's (go to [url]www.wastefall.com[/url] and download their stuff).
2) Communic, a Norwegian prog-power band which is really similar to nevermore. Their first album got very good to awesome reviews in every European magazine.
Have fun..

you're a weirdo.

listen to Shadows Fall, it's hard not to like them.

also if you like Slayer and Metallica, try Exodus and Testament.

Anthrax is kinda like Slayer and Metallica.

Try some:

Kalmah
Opeth
Nile
Children of Bodom
Exodus
Nevermore
Cadlemass

wow you guys are retarded....

he's not going to listen to death metal and like it without getting used to and inflicting it...

Metallica- Old metallica
Pantera- any
anything along those lines

eventually you WILL want to check out the Death metal scene

behemoth and pantera kick dirty a[U]s[/U]s, listen to any of their stuff.

[QUOTE=italic zero]Agalloch
Adorned Brood
Atheist
Death
Emperor
Fantomas
Finntroll
In Flames
Meshuggah
Opeth[/QUOTE]
Best list ever. Threadstarter, these are all you need.

Personally, I would stay away from about half of the bands mentioned here. Some of it is really good though, so you can decide what you like for yourself.

You'll probably like stuff like In Flames, Opeth, and Dark Tranquillity a lot.

SlipKnoT
Ill Niño
Stone Sour
Probot
Shadows Fall
MurderDolls

[QUOTE=Leukeh]SlipKnoT

= perfect example of what NOT to listen to.

top of the heap are Opeth and in flames (old in flames that is, pre colony

Just because you don't like them doesn't mean he won't. He said SOAD, so I gave him some sort of similar stuff. I like pretty much every band stated in this thread, but theres nothing much similar to SOAD. Just helping the guy so stop being a dick and respect what people other than yourself listen to.

Lamb Of God
Shadows Fall
Arch Enemy
Kataklysm
Mudvayne (best nu-metal band IMO)
Cradle Of Filth
Children Of Bodom

[QUOTE=Bartender]Well that's not really fair to say. Having an open mind is not synonymous with liking everything you hear uncritically. I'm pretty sure I have an open mind, but there are definitely albums I don't like.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I actually thought about that when I posted it.
But MX was acting up at the time, so I couldn't edit my post.

Iron Maiden
Iced Earth
Dragonforce
Megadeth

BTBAM
Misery Index
Suffocation
Norther

[QUOTE=Laihoistheman]Ok im stuck and its pissing me off for some reason I only seem to like 4 bands that I listen to frequently but I want more.

Nevermore

About the last line; why?
______________________________________________________________

Blind Guardian-Nightfall at Middle-Earth [it's the only album I have by them, but it's good]

Dragonforce-Sonic Firestorm [if you like "crazy solos", then they certainly have them]

Heathen perhaps? You can download two full albums from them for free from their website. [url]http://www.heathenmetal.com/index2.html[/url]

Into Eternity-Buried in Oblivion [I listened to Biochemical at their website and I think maybe you will like Into Eternity] You can download a few songs at their website. [url]http://www.intoeternity.net/disc.php[/url]

maybe Kiuas[I'm not real familar with, but they use keyboards doing something other than chords all the time] [url]http://www.kiuas.net/[/url]

"Kalmah and Norther" is the general response to "bands like COB"

Can somebody recommend me some Mercyful Fate and King Diamond?

[QUOTE=Bartender]How obscure? Do you know Arghoslent?[/QUOTE]
I want want some bands other people dont know about. No I have never heard of them. Are they good?

[QUOTE=The Dark Philosopher]I want want some bands other people dont know about. No I have never heard of them. Are they good?[/QUOTE]

Yes, they're good.
Exellent Melodic Death.
one of the few I like

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Can somebody recommend me some Mercyful Fate and King Diamond?[/QUOTE]
If you want albums for King Diamond go for The Puppet Master (Not Master Of Puppets:p ), Spiders Lullabye or Abigail...all of them are amazing.

For some great songs by King Diamond:
A Mansion In Drakness
The Candle
No Presents For Christmas
The Loa House
Abigail
Halloween
At the Graves
Omens
Funeral

I don't know much about Mercyful Fate so i can't talk about them.
