crazyblinddude
09.07.10 | GY!BE's F#A# Infinity would be perfect tbh. |
foreverendeared
09.07.10 | you can only listen to 5 albums and you pick the fucking Doors? are you fucking retarded? |
luci
09.07.10 | more like you picked pantera WHAT LOL |
Gr3mlin
09.07.10 | Hey, it's only the albums that I like to think as absolute classics. I'm not claiming that this is the ultimate list.
I do agree that Godspeed You! Black Emperor should probably be in there too... I had to make some serious tough
choices.
Instead of hating, why don't you tell us what 5 albums you guys would take then? I'm curious now. |
foreverendeared
09.07.10 | Yeah Pantera is pretty lol too. I mean they're talented, but pretty much all of their shit sounds the same imo |
Gr3mlin
09.07.10 | I can see why you say that, but you can't honestly tell me that when you hear Walk's riff you think "damn this is such a bland song, I have no idea why so much people who enjoy metal music love this song". |
foreverendeared
09.07.10 | Sigur Ros - ()
Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand
Drudkh - any album really
MF Grimm- American Hunger
Frederic Chopin - Piano Sonatas |
foreverendeared
09.07.10 | Pantera can be fun for a while I'll definitely give you that, it's just that there isn't much dynamic going on there. Have you seen Pantera's like behind the scenes and home videos? some hilarious shit they've done |
Gr3mlin
09.07.10 | I have, it's one of the reasons I love them. As elitist as it may be, I can't like a band when the members are absolute dicks. While I have to admit that Metallica made some truly memorable music (agree/disagree); the band members are stuck up pricks. "We are the kings of metal"... BWAHAHAHA.
Also, to your list; I can tell you have a very different (a lot less mainstream) taste than myself. I only really know Drudkh and I have to agree they make some fucking amazing black metal. They're one of the few black metal bands I'll actually play quite regularly. I'll have to give the albums you named a listen and get back to you on them. |
luci
09.07.10 | I'd take
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
Converge - Jane Doe
The National - Boxer
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Joanna Newsom - Ys |

09.07.10 | Awesome, that's the best part about this site, finding new music. The other albums I listed are definitely going to take more than just a few listens to appreciate just to let you know, but I guess that's with pretty much any good album.
Btw, have you heard Tool's live album Salival? The live version of Pushit is godly and their cover of No Quarter is really awesome |
Gr3mlin
09.07.10 | I like your list Lucidity. I considered taking Converge with me too, but I'd have taken 'Axe to Fall'. I know, 'Jane Doe' is king, but I find Dark Horse their best song. |
luci
09.07.10 | @foreverendeared: How does Bee Thousand compare with Alien Lanes? I listened to AL but couldn't get into it at all. |
Gr3mlin
09.07.10 | I actually haven't foreverendeared, I'll do that now actually! Thanks for the heads-up. ;)
What album of Tool would you have taken? I found the choice fucking heart-ripping impossible. 'Lateralus' is often
credited as their best yet, but I find 'Undertow' better with Sober and Prison Sex. It's also the album that kind of gave
them their 'breakthrough'. Hence why I picked it. |

09.07.10 | Got my picks:
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk

.....if i could somehow convince my girfriend to pick up another five albums from my collection as we fled then i'd also take.

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Wolves In the Throne Room - Black Cascade

09.08.10 | @Lucidity: It's weird because from what I've found, people who heard Alien Lanes first like it the most, while people who heard Bee Thousand first will swear it's better. I heard Bee Thousand first and I honestly don't see how people can say Alien Lanes is better lol so i dunno.
@Gr3mlin: I think I'd pick Aenima actually. It would be a REALLY hard decision though.
