[QUOTE=Ve Das]I´m fully aware this doesn´t belong in R/M but since other music has no such thread(that I can easily discover.The fück I´m searching for it when I know people here are just as competant...) I thought I´d ask around in this here thread.So,here´s the big question: What Björk album(s) to get?[/QUOTE]

I'd say all of them, rather unhelpfully. Nothing she's released yet has been perfect, but I think it's always worth listening to.

For a start though, I favour [i]Homogenic[/i].

I'm interested in Frank Zappa, but there is sooo much. Where is a good place to start?

[i]Freak Out![/i] is a rock album. It's one of his best, without being too weird or esoteric, or otherwise offputting, for a newcomer.

Thanks folks,I´ll check those out :-)

I'm looking for any bands that are along the lines of the new Avenged Sevenfold, City Of Evil Avenged Sevenfold.

Can anyone recommend me some more music in general? Im getting bored. The main bands i listen to are:Alice cooper, Audioslave, Aquabats, Bad Religion, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Catch 22, CKY, Dream Theater, Falconer, Flogging Molly, Green day, In Flames, Incubus, Jimi Hendrix,Johnny Cash, Jurassic 5, Led Zepplin, Mastodon, Megadeth, Metallica, Ministry, Motorhead, Muddy Waters, Nevermore, Operation Ivy, Ozzy, Pelican, Pepper, Primus, Rage Against the Machine, RHCP, The Sex Pistols, Steel Pulse, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Streetlight Manifesto, Sublime, Symphony X System of a down, Tenacious D, Van Halen, Zeke, and ZZ top.


Thanks :)

Anthrax, Annihilator, Spiral Architect, Public Enemy, the Roots, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Angra, Bob Serger, Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Judas Priest, Liquid Tension Experiment.

Im looking for some sort of metal that has heavy, powerful guitar and bass but not growling vocals.

[QUOTE=LifeofMusic]Im looking for some sort of metal that has heavy, powerful guitar and bass but not growling vocals.[/QUOTE]

Thrash or speed like Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest, Annihilator, Megadeth, you might want to check out power metal bands like Sonata Arctica, Angra, Blind Guardian.

Or something popular like Metallica or Iron Maiden.

Try the Strokes, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Queens of the Stone Age, or the John Mayer Trio.

Ok my friend is getting into Slipknot due to my influence (I'm not looking for a flame!) but he wants to find some bands that sound something like them. I can't think of any right now, although I probably do know some. What can I suggest to him?

hehe, i already listen to SRV. Thanks everyone who recommended stuff. I know that was kinda broad....




im still open to recommendations though :)

[QUOTE=LifeofMusic]Im looking for some sort of metal that has heavy, powerful guitar and bass but not growling vocals.[/QUOTE]

3 inches of blood(vocalist sounds like Halford lol), Black Label Society, pantera, mushroomhead, mudvayne, Sepultura(you might qualify that as growling, i don't know), soilwork. You probably already listen to some of these, If you were asking for growling metal, i could of helped you out better.

What's some good progressive (rock or metal) stuff? Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree are the only progressive bands I really know.

Also, what are some similar bands to Muse?

Pineapple Thief
Racer X
Anekdoten (love these guys)

how about lacuna coil?

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]If you like operatic metal, you may be interested in power metal. I'm sure there's plenty of people who'll tell you the best bands for that, but I'd recommend Dragonforce and Manowar to start with.[/QUOTE]

lol tks anyways but i love power metal and know alot as it is. I saw hammerfall
saw sonata artica. But i wanna know more about opera influenced metal or industrial. Oh ya also saw helloween. Pretty sick show

[QUOTE=Stoic]how about lacuna coil?[/QUOTE]

Ah yes lacuna coil. Heard of them. There italian rigth?

[QUOTE=louismonette]Ah yes lacuna coil. Heard of them. There italian rigth?[/QUOTE]

yes. I'm not into this kind of music at all but I've seen them mentioned along with after forever, nightwish and the likes.

I really liked Elvenking (decided to check them out recently), the mix between metal & folk music is SOOOO beautiful! So I'd like to hear some more similar music. Give me tips of other nice folk metal bands. I've heard Finntroll & Cruachan already. Thanks!

Korpiklaani (former Shaman), Mago de Oz, Skyclad, Ensiferum, Mithotyn, Moonsorrow, Rivendell, Glittertind, Waylander, Vintersorg, Tyr, Lumsk, Haggard, Einherjer.

Where's Falkenbach? :mad:

:p

Wuthering Heights could also fit here.

Im going to buy another rush album, can anyone reccomened a good one?

( i already have rush, fly by night, 2112, moving pictures, and rush in rio)

Thanks stoic and txus even though i already knew about moonsorrow.

I have another question, Now normally i would be against trying to "convert" people to listen to my kind of music, but desperate times call for desperate measures: i'm sick to death of being the only person i know who listens to metal. can anybody think of some good bands/albums/songs that non-metalheads might enjoy, and could potentially lead them down the path towards metaldom? especially for people who listen green day, and that kinda stuff...

Well man first I guess you'd have to begin with rock stuff (like Evanescence)
the next step would be giving them some gothic metal (Within Temptation, Sentenced....... they won't notice the difference) then give it a little harder style (like Nightwish, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian) then give them some HEAVY ****ING METAL (Iron Maiden, Manowar, Judas Priest) then start with the growl vocals, best choice would be some melodic death metal (Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Norther, Kalmah, Wintersun and even Opeth) at this point some symphonic/black metal could help in making raw black metal sound more comfortable (Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth)Then start with the Black side of metal (Immortal, Emperor, Darkthrone).

Then you'll have metalheads who listen to metal more than you, Good Luck man.

Try some less extreme stuff first. I got my sister into metal by doing the following:

I got her into AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath by playing it a lot whenever she was around.

I then started playing Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

I then I began to play Helloween, Dream Theater and Symphony X.

I then tried some Melo-Death, but she didn't like the vocals. Start lighter and then get progressively heavier. My sister seems to like power metal now. Also point out that all metal bands are not devil worshipers who are homicidal/suicidal. Point out the level of musicianship that many bands have.

Just remember that metal isn't for everyone and that being too pushy could turn them off.


EDIT: Beaten because of two finger typing. Damn my own two hands!

...and [I]always[/I] pick the catchiest songs :thumb:

I'd also recommend keeping them away from anything overly technical at first. Stuff like that needs to grow on some people.

Before I started listening to metal I was really put off by bands like Death, early Metallica and Megadeth. Now they're some of my favourites.

Start with Opeth's Damnation, and work your way from there. :)

Opera metal, in Nightwish fashion:
The Gathering
Epica
Tristiania (although they are a bit more focused on growled male vocals)
Kamelot (male fronted)
Rhapsody (male fronted)
Angra (male fronted)

That should be a good start.

Carcass: Necroticism- Descanting the Insalubrious, and Heartwork.
Arguably maybe two of the 20 best metal albums of all time.

i want to get into these artists: Derek trucks, Albert King, Isis, Public Enemy,Suicidal Tendencies, King Diamond, The Roots, John Mayer Trio, Al di Meaola, Rush, Charlie Hunter, Stratovarius, Finntroll, Jeff beck, Radiohead, Joy division, and The Violent Femmes. Wich albums should i get for starting of on those artists?


I know a lot arent rock, but im not sure were else to put it. And wich ones are awsomley awsome? i wanna know wich ones to get first.


Thanks :chug:

Rush = 2112 or Counterparts I find are the best
King Diamond = Abigail
Finntroll = Nattfodd
Stratovarius - Elements Part 1
