Gubaba Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 For some reason, this week, I've been obsessively listening to the Stooges. Really up there as one of the greatest bands ever, especially on "Fun House." HEAVIEST. ALBUM. EVER.
Black Valkyrie Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Final Fantasy VII OST, hard to believe its been 12 years.

Candy Apple Grey is a great entry point for Husker Du. Taksraven
Gubaba Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Is that the best entry point for the Stooges? Just out of interest? DEAR GOD YES! Every home should have one. Really, though, they only made three "proper" albums: The Stooges, Fun House, and Raw Power. The concensus is that Fun House is a classic, Raw Power is a great album, and The Stooges is flawed but worthwhile. All of them are worth owning, however. Candy Apple Grey is a great entry point for Husker Du. Agreed, although I think Zen Arcade is my favorite album of theirs.
Wanzerfan Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) For some reason, this week, I've been obsessively listening to the Stooges. Really up there as one of the greatest bands ever, especially on "Fun House." HEAVIEST. ALBUM. EVER. Can't go wrong with Iggy Pop. Lou Reed "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" Gold Earring "Twilight Zone" Judas Priest "You've Got Another Thing Coming", "Green Menalishi" Survivor "In the Burning Heart" Journey "When the Lights Go Down in the City", "Wheel in the Sky", "Open Arms" (lord, there are a lot of good songs) Foghat "Slow Ride" Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" Cream "Sunshine of My Love", "White Room" Mountain "Mississippi Queen" Anyone see the original "Motza and Metal" on VH-1 Classic? Seeing Scott Ian Rosenfeld with the likes of Leslie West, John French Segall and Dee Snyder (the only non-Jew) was a riot. Edited December 17, 2009 by Wanzerfan
Marzan Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Last played albums on my ipod are: Muse: The Resistance (a bit of a step down from Black Holes and Revelations) Sigur Ros (Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust) and CD Japan just yesterday delivered Space Bio Charge from Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts!
taksraven Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Saw Datarock last night at the Metro. A good show at a good price. Very enjoyable. Just a bunch of guys from Norway in red tracksuits having some fun.... Taksraven
Wanzerfan Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Purple Rain Deleted Scene ! ... ... Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Or to put it another way, people has too much freaking time on their hands.
shiroikaze Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Let me start off that my mom and dad usually watch Vietnamese soap operas on TV but got fed up with the channel's sporadic scheduling. So my dad ended up looking for and watching the series on the net. The wonders of the internet and youtube-esque sites. Now my dad is listening to ABBA songs on youtube almost nonstop, and that means I'm listening to 'em too... I'm surprised I recognize some of these songs... but then again, I think I can figure out why. Anyway, here's a cute vocaloid song to bring me back to the present: and something completely different: I usually think of myself having broad tastes, but it seems like what I usually listen to is oddly narrow...

Wanzerfan Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Somewhat new Maiden here. "Perfect World" "The Resurrection of Benjamin Breeg" God, the critics are right, A Matter of Life and Death is the best Maiden work since Piece of Mind.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Just browsing today got me the new Alice In Chains album!!! Black Gives Way To Blue. 2009 released, that was out of the blue, i thought they were done and dusted and so far i think they sound fricken awesome. I'm doing some research now into who is the new lead, they still sound like AinC. For christmas i got the MTV Unplugged dvd, the only item i was missing until now , i've fit everything into my Alice In Chains Music Bank edition, all the albums, plus the Video bank which is my fav lol. I see James, Kurt and Lars had a good influence on them, they were mentioned in the thankyou section. They must be huge fans of AinC (think they were at the Unplugged concert), James was channelling or whatever u call it Layne (pic of him) when recording Death Magnetic. I find Layne's death as tragic, uncomfortably emotionally, sad and a big waste. Edited January 16, 2010 by ruskiiVFaussie
Wanzerfan Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Alice in Chains' former frontman's name was Layne Statley (I think that's how you spell his last name).
Marzan Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Alice in Chains' former frontman's name was Layne Statley (I think that's how you spell his last name). Layne Staley was his name. Fantastic singer and lyricist, not only with Alice in Chains but also with Mad Season. A tragedy that he had to die the way he did...

Usually when bands go through what these guys have they sound crap, but AIC still ROCKS!!! Taksraven

ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Yeppoon mate, it's north of Brisbane, right on the coast closest to Great Keppel Island. Will be moving to Brisbane later this year though.
Wanzerfan Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 A few Nazereth. "Love Hurts" "Hair of the Dog" (good riff and exellent chorus). One from The Animals "House of the Rising Sun" Steppenwolf "Born to be Wild" "Magic Carpet Ride"-who can ever forget that NASCAR game's "Cyber Dale" commercial?
areaseven Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 The lead singer of OMC died yesterday. How Bizarre...

Wanzerfan Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Gotta add some Cream. Damn, can Clapton play or what? "White Room" "Sunshine of my Love"- I think Judd Nelson did this riff as John Bender in the scene of "The Breakfast Club" at the point when he has to take a piss. Ah, well, gotta add more Clapton. "Layla"-During his stint with Duane Allman in Derek and the Dominos Some solo stuff "After Midnight"-Eighties version "Tears in Heavan" Edited February 9, 2010 by Wanzerfan

505thAirborne Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Today's musical selections are Zeppelin (Early days) and a mix of Pink Floyd. This evening maybe something on the soundtrack side.
Black Valkyrie Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Back to listening K-Pop, especially one group known as FT Island, single : I Hope, it has a catchy tune.
Noriko Takaya Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Back to listening K-Pop... Yeah, I just scrounged around to find some stuff by BoA. Sings in Korean, Japanese and English. Been on a J-Pop kick also. Just finished listening to all of Maaya Sakamoto's studio albums.
areaseven Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Back to listening K-Pop. Speaking of which, anyone here tired of hearing Wonder Girls' "Nobody" all over the place?
taksraven Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Going to the Soundwave Festival today (yay) Headliners are Jimmy Eat World, Placebo, Paramore, Jane's Addiction and FAITH NO MORE!! HELL YEAH!! See ya in the 'pit. Taksraven
Gubaba Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Take a good look, people: Today, this gif led me to seek out my first ever glimpse into the world of Korean pop. I'm sorry...I'll never do it again.
