Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicBlack Sabbath ParanoidI view these guys (when Ozzy was singing) the same way that most people would view the Beatles. Paranoid is a flat out classic record. "War Pigs" is a great opener and every song on here is awesome. Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside MeCoheed and Cambria NeverenderHas any band ever done something this amazing before? If so I haven't heard about it. Coheed is one of my favorite bands, and all bias aside this should have a classic rating just for the jam session at the end of "The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut". Coheed and Cambria The Second Stage Turbine BladeCoheed and Cambria In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3Counting Crows August And Everything AfterGreen Day DookieGuns N' Roses Appetite for DestructionJohn Mayer ContinuumModern Life Is War WitnessNine Inch Nails The FragileShinedown The Sound of MadnessMainstream? Yes. Great? Youbetcha! This album is really fantastic, there isn't a song on here that I don't like, and it just shows that Brent Smith maybe the best rock singer out there at the moment. From the soulful ballads (The Crow and The Butterfly) to the tough as nails heavier songs (Cry For Help) this is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Shinedown is also a really great live band, they sound spot on to they're records and the whole band really puts on a fantastic show.The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite SadnessThe Who Who's NextThis is one of those perfect records. "Baba O'Riley" is arguably the best album opener of all time, and the power in Roger Daltry's voice during this song is great. This album rocks from beginning to end without any missteps and is one of the few albums that never get old.

King Live at the RegalBlack Sabbath Black SabbathBlack Sabbath Greatest Hits 1970–1978It's amazing how many metalheads I run into haven't really given Black Sabbath a listen. But why should they? I mean Sabbath was just the band that set the mold for heavy metal, no big deal. Before we had the low harsh screams of current death metal we had Sabbath, and before we had Sabbath we had bands that weren't as good as Sabbath. To be clear my praise for Black Sabbath mainly goes to the run they had with Ozzy from 70-78, I like Dio just fine but when I think of Sabbath I think of Ozzy... actually I think of Tony Iommi, but for the ideal frontman I think of Ozzy. If you look up "Greatest hits compilation" in the dictionary it reads: Steaming pile of horse sh*t. While that statement is generally very true, this record is an anomoly. It plays really well from beginning to end, and there isn't a boring track on here. While it can't really match listening to one of their full length records it's a great introduction to the greatness that was Black Sabbath. All the songs that everyone knows are on here (all 2 of them) such as "Iron Man" and "Paranoid". I like the fact that the songs show up in chronological order on here, it wouldn't make a difference if they didn't but it seems fitting to me. Anywho when I try to get someone to give Sabbath a try I give them this record and make them promise me that they will listen to it straight through. The ones that do are smart people the ones that don't are not.Bowling for Soup Rock On Honorable Ones!!Coheed and Cambria From Fear Through the Eyes of MadnessCounting Crows Saturday Nights and Sunday MorningsDanny Elfman The Nightmare Before ChristmasGreen Day American IdiotGreen Day WarningGreen Day NimrodJimmy Eat World Bleed AmericanModern Life Is War Midnight in AmericaNine Inch Nails The Downward SpiralOur Lady Peace A DecadeOzzy Osbourne No More TearsParamore Brand New EyesRise Against Appeal to ReasonRise Against The Sufferer and the WitnessSenses Fail Still Searching (Deluxe Edition)Slipknot Vol. 3: The Subliminal VersesThe Killers Hot FussThe Offspring AmericanaThe Offspring Ixnay on the HombreThe Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream4.0 excellentAFI Crash LoveAlice Cooper The Best of Alice Cooper: Mascara & MonstersAlice in Chains The Essential Alice in ChainsAmon Amarth With Oden on Our SideB.B.

This band is really unique although they will no doubt be hated soon because "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" is played everywhere. (Side note) the concept of a song being overplayed and thus being labeled as "no longer good" does in no way diminish the greatness of the song only the willingness of the listeners to experiance it again.

Upon first listen of Comatose I thought it had a really great sound to it, maybe a few to many slow songs but all in all it was a very solid hard rock record. "Rebirthing" and "Whispers In The Dark" are my favorite on the record but there aren't any really bad songs on here. I appreciate the fact that while this is a Christian rock record it refrains from being to preachy and delivers some great hard rocking songs.Slash SlashSlipknot All Hope Is GoneThe 69 Eyes Back In BloodThe 69 Eyes AngelsThe Beatles Abbey RoadThe Offspring SmashThe Offspring Rise and Fall, Rage and GraceThree Days Grace Life Starts NowThree Days Grace One-X3.5 great+44 When Your Heart Stops BeatingAll That Remains The Fall of IdealsBad Religion The New AmericaBad Religion New Maps of HellBlack Flag Damagedblink-182 Take Off Your Pants And JacketBob Seger Night MovesBuckcherry FifteenBuckcherry BuckcherryDisturbed IndestructibleEminem The Marshall Mathers LPEminem RelapseEscape the Fate There's No Sympathy for the DeadFall Out Boy Folie a DeuxFlyleaf FlyleafFlyleaf Memento MoriFranz Ferdinand Franz FerdinandGodsmack AwakeGodsmack IVGuns N' Roses Chinese DemocracyGuns N' Roses Live Era '87-'93In Flames A Sense of PurposeJimmy Eat World Chase This LightJoe Bonamassa The Ballad of John HenryJohn Mayer Battle StudiesLinkin Park MeteoraMetallica Death MagneticMotion City Soundtrack I Am the MovieNickelback All the Right ReasonsNine Inch Nails With TeethOzzy Osbourne The Essential Ozzy OsbournePapa Roach Getting Away With MurderPapa Roach The Paramour SessionsPapa Roach InfestParamore All We Know Is FallingPearl Jam TenSaosin SaosinSay Anything In Defense of the GenreSkid Row Skid RowSkillet AwakeNot a bad album in my opinion although a lot of people disagree. Here is the thing though, the two best songs are arguably "Monster" and "It's Not Me It's You" which both bare a striking resemblance to "Animal I Have Become" and "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace. Maybe I'm completely off and I'm just hearing things, but I think they sound very alike, maybe it's the lyric concepts or the sound or tone or something. If I feel compelled maybe I'll compare the songs side by side eventually, but I don't think that I care enough to try and back up my hypothesis. All in all this isn't as good as Comatose, and I have the feeling that the band must have had a few Three Days Grace listening parties during the writing and recording process. I don't want this to sound negative because I really like this band and they put on a really good live show.
