Suggest Some Albums For Me

dougal-maguire

Havent been listening to much rock or metal lately,and when i do its the same couple of songs by the same few bands.I've decided im going to buy 10-15 albums in a couple of weeks,some bands that ive never had any albums of and maybe some gems that ive missed from some other bands.

A couple of the bands i want to listen to are blind melon,jethro tull and faith no more.

So what other must have albums are there that i might be missing from my collection

depends what your poison is really.....for me, latley I've been listening to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Maiden. A classic that I have rediscovered for sure.

slavetothegrind

saints and sinners - whitesnake ( original not the re-recorded one.)

just on a whitesnake mood this evening...

Just some I thought of straight away/ been listening to a bit lately:

Peeping Tom - Peeping Tom (a project from Mike Patton from Faith No More)
John Frusciante - the Empyrean (Really enjoy all his solo material, lots of it too)
Whipping Boy - Heartworm (If you missed it, its a classic)
Mars Volta - Bedlam in Goliath (a relentless album, brilliant stuff)
Slo Burn - Amusing the Amazing EP (some stoner stuff)
Jesu - Jesu (justin broaderick of godflesh fame)

And just some metal favourites:
Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics...
Strapping Young Lad - City
Death - sound of perseverance
At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

SLK2005

Obsession or Phenominom - UFO

Joe_Dull

Yes to all the above. My kind of tunes.

I'd recommend We Live by Electric Wizard (actually f*ck it all their stuff).

A lot of grunge-ey hints are making it to this list so I'll add Temple of the Dog.

Oh and on the subject of Mike Patton (no I won't suggest Mr Bungle!). Try Tomahawk.

Mental Mickey

Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick.

MetzgerMeister

Five Finger Death Punch - American Capitalist

Rammstein - Liebe ist fur Alle Da

Eisbrecher - Eiszeit

Machine Head - Unto the Locust

Katatonia - Viva Emptiness

I actually dont have any of the albums named so far. :eek:

not much of a fan of anything much heavier than Pantera,so i think ill give Death and the like a miss.A couple that caught the eye as bands i like a few songs from but never really got into would be
Alice In Chains
John Fruciante
Frank Zappa
White snake

Gunna give the bands named so a far a few listens over the weekend,and if all goes well i might have to bump it up to 20-30 albums.

Personally I wouldn't start a new MH listener with the latest album. (Can't comment on the rest as I don't really listen to it so I'd be bullsh*tting.......yet again).

Try the first two Burn my Eyes and The More Things Change. http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Machine_Head/335

By the looks of what you like, it's mainly hard rock as opposed to metal as such...

Here's a few that should start you off nicely on a couple of bands...

Alice In Chains - Dirt & Jar Of Flies
Devin Townsend - Terria
Rush - Moving Pictures (whoever mentioned Signals, I wouldn't go this way when starting with Rush tbh, it's good but not as good as what preceded it)
Pearl Jam - Ten
Twelve Foot Ninja - New Dawn & Smoke Bomb Eps (you'll need to download these as you won't find them over here I reckon. But if you like FNM I think you might quite like these)
Frank Zappa - Over-Nite Sensation (a more accessible one from him and a great starting point I think).
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia & Deadwing (someone mentioned Fear Of A Black Planet. That's a Public Enemy record. Fear Of A Blank Planet is a PT album that follows these, but better off listening to these first IMO)
Dream Theater - Metropolis II: Scenes From A Memory
Oceansize - Effloresce

I have some more but don't want to overload the suggestion train!

Gmol

May sure Live & Dangerous is on your list only 5 squids in tesco

nyarlothothep

You might have some of these but these are recent albums I thought kicked ass relative to other albums

Gojira: From Mars to Sirius
Reverend Bizarre: So Long Suckers (trad. doom metal).
Reverend Bizarre: In the Rectory of Reverend Bizarre
Falconer: Armod (not as good as the first three but different and very melodic)

Also if you like Jethro Tull you might also like King Crimson

Jordan 199

Rush: Presto.

The Who: Who Are You.

Nephilim Wolf

Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising
Moonspell - Night Eterna
Fields of The Nephilim - The Nephilim
Scorpions - Love At First Sting
Bryan Adams - Reckless
Saxon - Strong Arm of The Law
Deep Purple - In Rock
Aerosmith - Toys in The Attic
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
Anathema - Eternity
Queen - Innuendo
Thin Lizzy - Black Rose

Nailz

You may like a band called the RedNeck Nuns, they'll do the job I'd say.

Lots of great stuff recommended already. Right now I'll just add Blue Oyster Cult to the list, the albums Spectres, Secret Treaties, and Fire of Unknown Origin in particular.
A couple of songs to get you started.

You might like At the Drive In so, it was Omar and Cedric's band before Mars Volta. Omar's an interesting guy, loads of stuff to get into

The album Relationship of Command is great IMO:

mars volta are my new favourite band,i might just buy their whole back catlogue. :D

ozzy jr

Rainbow - Rising
Uriah Heep - Magicians Birthday

Mushy

Porcupine Trees In Absentia is a must.

hellyeah

op if your likeing "Alice in chains" get any of there back catalogue as all there material is pure class.
If your looking for something differant, check out Type o negative, world coming down or October rust. 2 class albums imo and not to heavy.

SLK2005

Jeeez albums to suggest to someone is so hard. I love Rush especially the early stuff and UFO the same but some of the later stuff I can leave. Both of those bands evolved over years and it would be impossible to say one album is representitive of them,or their best one.Get a "best of" to see what a band is like and then go from there is my suggestion.Try youtube for concert clips. If its rock you're after try these
Nazerath
BOC
The Cult
Back street crawler - no best of though
Lonestar ( the firing on all six band, i think there is another band with the same name) No best of though
Ten years after
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Bad company
Creedence clearwater revival
Bachman turner overdrive
Boston - very easy listening

feck I could go on all night

and of course the usual suspects - Zep,purple,sabbath,free

anyway plenty of stuff to go through there, old bands but that reflects my age:D
