| The Most Influential Albums.
To me, these are the most influential albums that have contributed to the shaping of my musical taste. You may not agree, and you probably won't with some or all of them. But take into consideration that I'm a 15 year old male. (: | | 10 |  | Parkway Drive
Deep Blue
Collosal, raw and powerful, Parkway Drive's Deep Blue is an album that smacks you in the face and says 'Australia is better than you'. God, how I love Australian Hardcore. Parkway Drive has been known around here by absolutely every kid since they're release Killing With A Smile. They are from Byron Bay, which is a stones throw away from where I live. Every single metalhead AND non-metalhead around here, either knows Parkway Drive personally, listens to Parkway Drive or knows Parkway Drive's story. If somebody asks 'what's Parkway Drive?' they get slapped, then somebody proceeds to stick iPod headphones in the victims ears. When Horizons was released, people went apeshit over Parkway Drive, and the word 'CARRION' was being chanted for four years. When the savage sound of Deep Blue came out this year, it forced people around here to get their heavy on. Thank god. Parkway Drive is currently dominating the globe, and making us Aussies proud. :') | | 9 |  | Asking Alexandria
Stand Up And Scream
The album that made me realise how fun it is to be a grassroot fan. Find a little band that you think has potential, and watch them flourish over the course of two years. Asking Alexandria is the new shit. | | 8 |  | Suicide Silence
No Time To Bleed
This was the first band to get me interested in deathcore. A simply brilliant album, complete with breakdowns that forcibly make you shit yourself, Mitch Lucker's unheard octave screams that make you question the existence of extra-terrestrials and Mark Heylmun's horrifying solos that give you nightmares for the rest of your life. Produced by Machine, I am yet to hear something as clean, yet as dirty as this. I totally just dropped an oxymoron. | | 7 |  | Every Time I Die
The Big Dirty
Grab a beer/vodka/water. This is hardcore rock n' roll at it's best. Keith Buckley's lyrics are that of a god.
In saying that, a very, very drunk one. | | 6 |  | Architects
Hollow Crown
It took a long time to get into this, but when I realised how amazing Architects were, it hit me hard. They are also heavily underrated and deserve a shitstack more attention than they get right now. Sam Carter is a great vocalist, and his lyrics are some of the most amazing I've ever heard. As for the instrumental aspect of the music, each and every single member is a competent musician. They move as a single unit destroying your ears with utmost technicality and precision. Loving it. But considering the bond they have with Bring Me The Horizon, I'm just astounded at how long it's taking for the sceney boppers to swoop up Architects and ruin them too. | | 5 |  | Atreyu
A Death-Grip On Yesterday
Atreyu. There's no predicting where this shit will go next. Should I like them? Should I hate them? Fuck it, Death-Grip was the shit. | | 4 |  | Fall Out Boy
From Under The Cork Tree
Ahh, the glory days before Fall Out Boy became emo posterboys. From Under The Cork Tree is an album that is payed very little attention in comparison to its successors Infinity On High and Folie ? Deux. This is an album that contains the most beautifully raw, more emotional songs of the entire Fall Out Boy discography. It is the 'halfway mark', the album that marks the transfer Fall Out Boy made from their original genre (which believe it or not, was very, VERY raw punk) to the emo pop rockers they are now. With songs like I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me, Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year and 7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen), Fall Out Boy reached the perfect balance. Then the emo kids came. | | 3 |  | Greeley Estates
No Rain, No Rainbow
And now for the most unbelievably underrated band of the century. Very few people have heard of Greeley, and even less pay attention to them. Greeley Estates was once a generic pop-punk band with a dash of screamo. But with the release of No Rain, No Rainbow, they shifted into a monolithic beast that knew what to do. No Rain, No Rainbow is a killer of an album, with unique rapid breakdowns, dual screams and a spatter of guest vocals including Craig Mabbitt from Escape The Fate, Beau Bokan and Jared Warth from Blessthefall, and Cameron Martin from The Irish Front. The album is thickly produced by Cory Spotts, and you would naturally think that none of this will be decent live. Wrong. Greeley Estates nail each and every track on NR, NR dead on live. Unique, insanely talented, perfect live performances, they tick every single box. If only Tragic Hero publicised them more... | | 2 |  | My Chemical Romance
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
Alright, before you judge: My Chemical Romance was the first band I ever got into, and I have fallen in love with every one of their releases since I became a fan. The Black Parade was the first album I ever purchased, and I still listen to it. I bought Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge the day my grandfather passed away, so it holds a very heavy meaning to me. At first listen, I loved it. The amount of emotion poured into it, the amount of diversity that My Chemical Romance had achieved and still managed to creat catchy-as-fuck hooks in each song pulled me faster than an anchor with rockets (even though I thoroughly doubt their existence). (: | | 1 |  | Bring Me The Horizon
Suicide Season
This is easily my favourite and most influential album of all time. Many people tend to hate on BMTH, seeing as they're 'posers', 'scene fags', 'talentless douchebags', so on and so forth. Bring Me The Horizon may not appeal to everyone, especially not to the brutaller-than-thou people, but this is the band that pushed me into metalcore which is now my favourite genre. I was a fan before I was aware of what they looked like, before the video for Chelsea Smile came out and before all the sceney boppers went apeshit over Oli and his br00tal hair. Suicide Season is a spectacular album. If you give it the chance, it can envoke various strong emotions which to me, makes an album successful. Stories of hate, betrayal, loss, grief, happiness, confusion and utter madness have made this album a template for other bands to leech off. Bring Me The Horizon have set their name in stone with Suicide Season. | |

10.06.10 | I guess you've got to start somewhere. 7 is pretty good. Try these metalcore records on for size:
Poison the Well- The Opposite of December
Misery Signals- Mirrors
On Broken Wings- It's All A Long Goodbye
The Ghost Inside- Returners
and before the other users jump down my throat about not reccing Deadguy and Integrity and shit, look at what this guy listens to. I don't think he's quite ready to make that jump. | VanitySeason
10.06.10 | just so you know, all these albums are rather mainstream. I am into other lesser-known things, I just prefer albums with a lot more production. But I love The Ghost Inside and Poison The Well. (: | accompliceofmydeath
10.06.10 | Cool, whatever floats your boat, man. Glad you like PtW! | VanitySeason
10.06.10 | thanks for the reccs. (: | SoapySoap

10.06.10 | Funny troll | DinoX
10.06.10 | ^ Just because people like different music than you it dosen't mean they're a troll piss off | awhiteguy
10.06.10 | So this is your alt, DinoX? | Pyosisified
10.06.10 | omg | TheSpirit
10.06.10 | great list, 1 is 5/5 | Pyosisified
10.06.10 | yes in a world where everyone i retarded | awhiteguy
10.06.10 | Just call yourself retarded? Would you look at that? | Mr. Lizard
10.06.10 | Australia is better than you | Inveigh
10.06.10 | good list | iwubmoosik
10.06.10 | For metalcore, you could try:
Protest the Hero: Both albums
Called to Arms: Both albums
Between the Buried and Me: Alaska
Periphery: Periphery
And for Deathcore, you could try:
Shadow of the Colossus: Shadow of the Colossus
A Breath Before Surfacing: Death is Swallowed in Victory
Burning the Masses: Mind Control
Wretched: Exodus of Autonomy, and Beyond the Gate
I hope you enjoy :) | BenX02
10.06.10 | While, I don't like most of the music on here, all of the points you made under each one were very well written. You should try writing a review of one of them.
Recs:
Between the Buried and Me -- Colors
Protest the Hero -- Fortress
Protest the Hero -- Kezia
Underoath -- Define the Great Line | SeaAnemone
10.06.10 | just for the sake of clarification, dude, no offense but if you're going to post on a music site you should probably know that:
Fall Out Boy did not come anywhere close to raw PUNK in their early days, they were merely pop-punk, big difference.
FOB are not nor were ever anything close to emo.
Parkway Drive is nowhere near hardcore.
... just for starters. Calling out genres may sound nitpicky, but fact is that genres are pretty important to categorizing music correctly, and you should probably know that I dunno. Most of what you have here is pop-punk, "modern" (aka watered down) metalcore or scene music... which is fine, just so you know.
Anyway, welcome! And if you'd ever like to hear some hardcore, post-hardcore, emo or screamo please let me know! | Inveigh
10.06.10 | yeah Parkway Drive are definitely metalcore, but in dude's defense they were always talked about as part of the Australian hardcore scene
there's no defensing calling FOB "raw punk" or "emo" though | iPim
10.06.10 | Some enjoyable albums here and there, but also awfull deathcore like BMTH and Suicide Silence...
You can't go wrong with any of the Every Time I Die albums and the earlier albums by parkway drive are better IMO at least.
Architects are a very technical band, love them.
Try some:
Between the Buried and Me
Unearth
Dillinger Escape Plan
Cancer Bats
All Shall Perish
Converge or Botch (people will like you here if you like these two bands)
The Ghost Inside
Cursed | NeroCorleone80

10.06.10 | Kinda doubt this is a troll | climactic
10.06.10 | Sounds too honest and innocent to be a troll | Deviant.
10.06.10 | "I like how you act all embarrassed about MCR even though they're arguably the best band here"

10.06.10 | this is pretty typical taste for most people his age and into this style of music. wouldnt really be
surprised if he actually likes this. | climactic
10.06.10 | *arguably*
Hayden stfu you're not much better | foreverendeared
10.06.10 | i love how awhiteguy calls other people trolls when all he does is post retarded insults | qwe3
10.06.10 | the fall out boy paragraph made me laugh pretty hard | foreverendeared
10.06.10 | lol yeah apparently they're emo and apparently they used to be VERY raw punk | Crysis
10.06.10 | "Mitch Lucker's unheard octave screams that make you question the existence of extra-terrestrials and Mark Heylmun's horrifying solos that give you nightmares for the rest of your life"
what is this i don't even | kingjulian
10.06.10 | Agreed with climactic | qwe3
10.07.10 | hahahaahahaha | VanitySeason
10.07.10 | Thanks a tonne for the reccs, guys. I really appreciate it. (: And just to clear things up, I'm not a troll. I'm only here to learn. What I meant by 'raw' for FOB was heavily underproduced. They weren't 'heavy' so to speak, but in comparison to they music they're producing now, it was pretty damn rough. And just as a sidenote, they are emo. Arguably the most emo band out, actually. They somewhat proclaim it with the whole misery-induced music. Also, Inveigh got it spot on. I know Parkway Drive isn't a 'hardcore' band per se, and are considered metalcore to most, but around here everything that is heavy music is known as the Aussie Hardcore scene. (: And hell no, I'm not embarrased about My Chemical Romance. They're fucking brilliant. (: | InFiction
10.07.10 | I don't want to seem pedantic but Parkway Drive are from Byron bay, not Bondi.
Also, it's "CARRION" not "CARRY ON".
Sorry, that seems areshole-ish but this stuff irks me.
Also, 10, 6 and 2 are good. | NeroCorleone80
10.07.10 | This isnt a genuine list | WhiteNoise
10.07.10 | Parkway Drive are getting huge in Australia it's getting scary!
I'm definitley not into this kind of music at all but you have identical taste to my mates! also good to see another aussie on here!
Try some A Day to remember and Bullet for my Valentine? lol That's all I can think of that my mates blast from their cars. | VanitySeason
10.07.10 | Oh shit! My mistake about Byron Bay, haha. Also, I know the song is Carrion, but to me it sounds like it's pronounced differently at the beginning of the song. I'll change it anyway, thank you for the correction. (: I love Bullet, saw them live with BMTH a couple of weeks ago. But uh, A Day To Remember is shit. I used to love them but they became waaaaay too mainstream for me. That sounds ironic since most of the bands here are pretty mainstream, but I really just don't like the style ADTR is going for. The whole 'look at me I'm hardcore as hell but I totally have a soft side' thing is old. Thanks anyway. (: | Spec
10.08.10 | Don't bring Architects into this now... | fr33convict
10.08.10 | Not a troll. I'll probably put some rec's in your shoutbox later, k? | qwe3
10.08.10 | "And just as a sidenote, they are emo. Arguably the most emo band out, actually."
