Beekay

It all in the name.Whats bands are you taking the time to check out or you are only discovering now?
At the moment for me it Soundgarden and The Doors.

Great bands. Do you like the Misfits?

Pugsley

Necrophagist, Terásbetoni, Athiest, The Red Chords, Pelican, and some more Morbid Angel. So quite busy

Karl Hungus

Prezatch

For me,

Immolation
Andrew Bird
The Specials
Whirlwind Heat

feylya

Not really listening to much new stuff. Maybe some Mike Got Spiked and Rage Against The Machine but I'm just going back over my music.

A music collection is never full, it's always a work in progress.

I ordered Cynic's album today (Doctor J can look smug now) and some Electric Wizard so that's what I'm waiting to get into.

Karl Hungus

*Cover ears and sings LALAALALLAL!"

Seriously though. It's FULL. No more CDs. Cannot afford 'em atm.

John

The "No Room at the Inn" CD collection by Karl Hungus

superconor

I have never heard anyone say their music collection was full! Surely the money situation is temporary?

Rainbow Kirby - Hammerfall KICK ASS!

Crucifix

Some fantastic bands listed so far!

Eh, I'm not listening to anything new lately. The last band I got into would be The Decemberists. Not really rock and metal, but a class act.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot I've been checking out Dragonforce lately. Top notch power metal.

Oooh, very pleased. Well done man, you have chosen wisely

Not smug John2, just... you know at the end of Return Of The Jedi when the three dead dudes materialise in the sky, looking down with a mixture of pride and happiness? That

Personally, I'm enjoying Theory in Practice (Thanks Ancient1 ), getting back into the fantastic Coroner and digging Stevie Ray Vaughan a lot too at the moment. Got Robert Plant's new album too which is quite interesting.

Mr. CooL ICE

Death and Carcass. I ordered 7 CDs (inc 3 of the aforementioned) a few weeks ago and they only arrived friday and i havent had a chance to listen to them yet.

nosmo

Cryptopsy and Enslaved.

None so Vile has always been close to my heart, but I've been listening to it more and more and more, and it's been growing on me so much that I think it's infectious. I've got Whisper Supremacy and None So Live, but they just don't kick in the same way that Lord Worm's vocals do. Needless to say, I can't wait for the new album.

Deadwing

Currently listening to Year of the rabbit. they do a kickass cover of i wanna be adored

Yeah I love the Misfits. I bought a few Danzig albums about a year ago but forgot all about him then decided to throw one on there the other day. Great Stuff!

pbsuxok1znja4r

Refused, Comeback Kid, Vex Red. I'm trying to get into Trivium, but, well, IDK, the vocals annoy me...

Ancient1

I'm re-discovering Coroner after many many years - man it's kicking my ass.

Kids, if you're looking for oldies but goodies, Doc J is yer man

(well he's my dealer anyways )

Nightwish

getting into L'ame Immortelle and the hilarious Gothminister at the moment

Also, listening to the BF's Cannibal corpse stuff

Mist

The Beatles
Velvet Revolver

Tar.Aldarion

Steoob

opeth fu(king opeth... blackwater park is the best album ive ever heard

silenoz

FinnMetal is the way to go for the moment...
Listening to a lot of Children of Bodom, Sonata Arctica and Manitou.

Apart from the usual dose of Scandanavian metal, I'm quite impressed by a few Killswitch Engage songs I found, i.e. "Soilburn" at the moment

THEZAPPA

im really getting into the band yes at the moment!!!!!
fragile is a classic album.

Dathai

Pelican, Neurosis and a few others.

I've been getting into Rush this past week. I got 2112 on Sunday and loved it so much that I've now got six of their albums. And todays only Thursday!

I can't believe it's taken me so long to listen to them, seeing as how I consider myself quite the prog freak. I've always heard them pimped but never got around to actually getting an album. To anyone else in the same position as I was, 2112 is a good place to start. It's considered their first true classic album in a string of pearlers. The twenty minute title track takes up the first half of the album (or one side of the record as it were) and to tell you the truth I wish it was longer! Without doubt one of the most amazing extended pieces I've heard. Pieces of it will thrill you and take you by surprise no matter how many times you listen to it. Class.

The rest of the album (or other side) consists of five 3 minute numbers, all of which are excellent cuts, particularly the dark "Twilight Zone" and the storming anthemic album closer "Something For Nothing".

After you absorb this one, I'd suggest picking up Hemispheres, then Permanent Waves (This is where elements of new wave start to creep in, with surprisingly great results) and then what many critics consider their masterpiece, Moving Pictures (I prefer 2112). That way you're moving chronologically, and can hear the band evolving.

If you're hooked make sure to pick up the live album Rush In RIo from a couple of years ago too. It's up there with UFO's Strangers In The Night as being one of the best hard rock live albums of all time. 3 discs of pure gold.

bringitdown

Well as I have neglected them totally so far:
At The Drive In
Dream Theater

Kilgore-Trout

always had a soft a spot for them, but i've really been getting back into Sabbat. andy sneap rules and martin walkyier's voice and lyrics are SO good!

Ruaidhri

The last few weeks have been the new Black Dahlia Murder ( Miasma, Death metal with a sense of humor ) Extol's new one ( cant recall the name atm ) and Vivaldi's four seasons ( Jaap Van Zweden ).
Whoever was on about Theory in Practice..yeah they rock, although sometimes it's technical wankery more than good music.
