hmm, coming off the best songs of teh year thread, i thought we could try this. can be old or new.
my personal fav's have been:
the killers:hot fuss
willy mason: where the humans eat
green day: american idiot
bloc party: silent alarm
jurassic 5: quality control
illiteracy and alphabet soup hmm?
Not a bad selection hombre (I have J5's other two albums if you wish to borrow them) So, I'll agree with 'Hot Fuss' as well add in 'Blackout' by 'The Dropkick Murphy's, 'Ocean Rain' by 'Echo and the Bunnymen' and also 'Four Lads who Shook the Wirral' by Half Man Half Biscuit.
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.

The Cinematic Orchestra "Everyday"
Nightmares on Wax "Carboot Soul"
Harry Nilsson "A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night"
Jay Z and DJ Dangermouse "The Grey Album"
Wu Tang Clan "The W"
and a lot more that i cant think of..
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

I'm sure I'm forgetting at least a few worthy contenders but what the hey...
The ball is round and has many surprises.
I heard this album during the week and I thought it was absolute garbage
I got 'The Waifs- Up all night' of a friend, and its a fantastic album.
I've been 'upgrading' a lot of my tapes to cd recently, so a fair chunk of what I've bought is old.
Some of the albums I've got for the first time round:
Nick Cave's last one (the double album)
Ballboy - Club Anthems
British Seapower
Trojan Skinhead Reggae boxset
Morrissey
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Hmm... Bought alot of cd's last year. The best out of the bunch has to be...
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
Megadeth - The System Has Failed
Skid Row - Slave to the Grind
Rammstein - Mutter
Katatonia - Last Fair Deal Gone Down
John Lee Hooker - Blues is My Middle Name (Double CD, Best of, €3.99!)
Children of Bodom - Hate Crew
Meshuggah - I.
'waaaaaaaaan da towwwwwwn hey!
I have some of their stuff. They're ok, can't really listen to them any more as the keyboardist just ****es me off. Don't get me wrong I like keyboards in metal (eg. Children of Bodom) but Jordan Rudess is more like hmmm... I think I'll put a big keyboard solo here just to impress everybody.
It isn't the most technical I've ever heard. Listen to Spiral Architect if you want to hear the most technical stuff ever! One of their albums even comes with a health warning!
But again prog metal is a bit too "wow look at me I'm doing a massive sweep/tap/shred at 1000 notes a second" for me. Music always comes first, anything impressive after that is only a bonus.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't like these uber technical bands, but its just my opinion on them.
'waaaaaaaaan da towwwwwwn hey!
guns n roses appetite for destruction
rip roaring from start to finish
Interpol - turn on the bright lights
am loving it
life is random
Very true but if you've only gotten into it in the last twelve months you deserve a slap anyway!guns n roses appetite for destruction
rip roaring from start to finish
The ball is round and has many surprises.
KEANE - Hopes & Fears
Now you see, I really liked thier album. Got me through my dissertation. Think they are a bit of a marmite band though - You either love them or hate them.
Is that the new album? is it any good, really like their old stuff, and wasnt sure bout whether theyd be any good after daves hand arthritic condition.Megadeth - The System Has Failed
illiteracy and alphabet soup hmm?
