03.13.14 | Did my best to avoid some of the obvious picks (Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Floyd, etc.) for the most part. So yeah, thoughts? |
Veldin
03.13.14 | 10 is timeless because it's from another dimension/plane of existence. |
Ending
03.13.14 | Transcending time.
Transcending space. |
Ending
03.13.14 | Dammit I didn't capitalize Focus in 8 when I mentioned it the second time. Poop. |
fallenbird
03.13.14 | Agree with this list |
Ending
03.13.14 | Same. |
ILiveInNetherlands
03.13.14 | But what about Raging. What aboung standing Against. What about fighting The Machine. |
Ending
03.13.14 | Dude are you blind I said I wasn't including Floyd duh psh this guy. |
fallenbird
03.13.14 | Rage Against The Machine = Pink Floyd |
ILiveInNetherlands
03.13.14 | I don't read comments. Why are you so agressive? You made me cry. |
Ending
03.13.14 | I'm sorry. Listen to some k-pop that'll cheer you up.
Futures go back to the LYSF thread and if any of GY!BE's releases are timeless it's F#A#. |
fallenbird
03.13.14 | LYSF > F#A# |
Ending
03.13.14 | Oh shoot fallenbird is here too where's Fear? |
mandan
03.13.14 | 5 rules, agreed. |
fallenbird
03.13.14 | I've been here for a while dude |
Ending
03.13.14 | Oh I didn't even notice/didn't make the connection between the names. I usually identify people by their avatar so on lists I always have a tough time keepin' track ya know?
Yeah 5 is a killer. What are some of your timeless albums, danny? |
Ending
03.13.14 | Was going to put Bergtatt for 9 but then I was like needs more cheese.
OK Computer felt like an obvious pick but it's absolutely a timeless album. |
fallenbird
03.13.14 | Jeff Wayne - War Of The Worlds |
fallenbird
03.13.14 | I will shove this album down your throats until you all listen to it |
mandan
03.13.14 | Hard to pick but three which I could mention right off the bat:
Pearl Jam - Ten
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime |
Ending
03.13.14 | Bowie is timeless too I actually totally should've thrown Low onto here. |
mandan
03.13.14 | Also 2 has prob one of my all-time fave openers. |
Ending
03.13.14 | Operation: Mindcrime is one of those albums I enjoy a lot but never really saw what elevated it to the status some people perceive it to have. Gonna need to give that a serious relisten sooner than later. |
Ending
03.13.14 | 2 is one of the best openers ever if you ask me so I'm on the same boat as you. |
Muisc4Life26
03.13.14 | Feature this awesome list |
Ending
03.13.14 | Yeah whoever made this list must be really cool and have super good taste and insight. |
Bombastik
03.13.14 | Zombies- Odessey and Oracle? perhaps.
Also Moondance and/or astral weeks |
Ending
03.13.14 | I haven't heard O&O in forever. Like it's probably been over five years. Damn I should totally listen to that again.
I'll maybe get back to you on if I agree/disagree. |
Bombastik
03.13.14 | May be a little early to call but, Burial - untrue |
avonbarksdale221
03.13.14 | I should really listen to more of these. I wholeheartedly agrees with the albums that I have heard, and pos for your descriptions. |
FearTomorrow
03.13.14 | 1 and 5 are perfect |
avonbarksdale221
03.13.14 | Diary is great, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it "timeless" |
FearTomorrow
03.13.14 | Avon man you should give 10 a whirl, album transcends hard. |
avonbarksdale221
03.13.14 | been thinking of jamming it for a while actually, it keeps popping up in these discussions so it seems like something I'm gonna have to do soooner or later |
FearTomorrow
03.13.14 | Yeah don't put it off for too long like I did, album is beautiful |
IronGiant
03.13.14 | grizzly bear's shields is actually this kinda album for me. i like it more each and every listen |
pedro70512
03.13.14 | Somewhere Out in Space and Traced In Air are spot-on. Great to see those two masterpieces here. Went
and watched Apollo 13 after listening to SOIS since the last song is about astronauts returning to
Earth and praying to make it home. |
avonbarksdale221
03.13.14 | I can't really dig Grizzly Bear beyond a handful of songs, their full albums inevitably bore me |
FearTomorrow
03.13.14 | Yeah I'm with you Futures, Diary is forever the perfect depressed wallowing rock album. |

03.13.14 | Hold up dude, you spelled Focus wrong. Actually, no, I spelled Traced In Air exactly right.

03.13.14 | @Bombastik
I wouldn't call it too early. Hell I named Traced In Air haha.
@avon
You gotta listen to bath dude it's such an experience. |
avonbarksdale221
03.13.14 | is it a good entry-point for someone who doesn't really m/ ?
also this should be featured |
oltnabrick
03.13.14 | this should not be featured. where are the youtube links? |
Ending
03.13.14 | Hmm I would honestly say yes. It's really not that m/ focused, only two songs are really fully metal songs. There are a lot of "metal" passages to it, but to quote Jared's review, "[to] describe this as strictly a 'metal' album would discredit nearly four whole tracks, not to mention various passages that draw nothing from the metal genre". |
Ending
03.13.14 | @oltnabrick
D'oh you're right. Show's over guys. |
FearTomorrow
03.13.14 | Nailed it. Not to discredit the metal genre at all (love that shit), but it's so much more than just a metal album. |
avonbarksdale221
03.13.14 | Just read the Jared's monolithic review, sounds insane. Downloading now, I'll listen to it in the coming days. |
SitarHero
03.13.14 | "Hold on dude, you spelled Focus wrong."
Chuckle. |
Ending
03.13.14 | It's used more as a point of contrast between the harsh and raw metal sections and the much more tranquil non-metal (there's a lot of different styles going on when it's not metal so I'm just going to be all-encompassing). What I mean by that is the pretty parts seem prettier and the "ugly" parts (hey, They're Not All Beautiful) parts seem uglier due to the relative difference between the metal and non-metal sections.
Anybody who compares this to Opeth is crazy by the way don't listen to them. |
Ending
03.13.14 | Should clarify that my last comment was about bath if that was unclear. |
FearTomorrow
03.13.14 | Bath is so much better than anything Opeth ever pulled out their asses. |
Ending
03.13.14 | Agreed and Opeth is still a really great band. But even Still Life plus Damnation (my two favourites by them) combined don't equate to the first half of bath.
I think one of my favourite traits of bath (amongst many) is that it's neither frontloaded nor backloaded; it's just a very consistent stream of amazing songs broken up very appropriately by the two interludes. |
adarkishman
03.13.14 | like a fine wine! |
Faraudo
03.13.14 | I'm kinda shocked by the fact that no one said The Downward Spiral. |
1stpKlosrTothEge
03.13.14 | honestly don't know a lot of these but the ones I do know I totally agree, ones I might throw out there even if maybe they are obvious are Eagles - Hotel California, David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust, Hall & Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette and also I am not a massive fan but can still appreciate the album and consider timeless is Fleetwood Mac - Rumours. Cool list though. |
Ending
03.13.14 | Thank you. I agree Ziggy is easily a classic. |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
03.13.14 | Great list, deserves a feature. I am really curious about checking 1 but I really didn't like Hubardo, is it anything like that? |
Ending
03.13.14 | Kayo Dot is one of those bands whom you should check out everything they have since they're all pretty different.
And thank you. |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
03.13.14 | Okay I'll give it a listen |
