Today, it's:

Radiohead - Kid A
Beck - Sea Change
Elliott Smith - XO
Velvet Underground & Nico
Tom Waits - Closing Time

In your honour, I'm gonna play this disc on the way to my gamblooing today.

My favorite track? The Call of Ktulu, of course.


After that:

More Ted Leo, because I can't get enough

I've got a whole Bad Company rock block planned

And then I think I'm gonna transition into some Zep

Then probably Deltron 3030

Sometimes, I jones for Deltron 3030


Time to Gambool

I was just listening to this CD a little bit yesterday....I am a big fan of anything that Dan the Automator produces. I have the song "Things You Can Do" stuck in my head....and of course the intro song, "3030", is the shit.

stereolab- peng!
tricky- maxinquaye
pj harvey- to bring you my love
helium- the dirt of luck
laika- silver apples of the moon
swans- the great annihilator
angels of light- everything is good here

i listen to a lot of the same music you guys do- radiohead, sonic youth,
my bloody valentine, beck, mogwai, massive attack, velvet underground, etc.

here are some bands that havent really been mentioned that you guys should check out.

also- can somebody please listen to the swans?

since they are the best band nobody has ever heard of(and one of the best bands period), i am compelled to keep mentioning them till one person listens to them. if you want a reasonably good review of these albums, go to
allmusic.com.

working music playing now.

Clutch-Pure Rock Fury

I'd just like to point out that I'm pretty sure someone's mentioned all of the bolded artists. I like the Swans. I'm not the biggest fan, but I dig them alright.

I definitely own lots of Stereolab and PJ Harvey stuff.

yea, stereolab- emperor tomato ketchup was mentioned, and pj harvey in passing. as far as i know im the only one whos ever mentioned the swans, and dimseven the only person to respond to one of those posts.

stereolab- emperor tomato ketchup and peng! are my 2 favorite albums of theirs.

ill admit that the swans are definitely not for everyone(or even most people), but if you like any of the harder bands like NIN, tool, a perfect circle, etc I think you really should listen to the swans at least once just in case.

i guess it goes without saying that i consider them the best darker or hardcore band ever.

Today is a hip hop mix consisting of various tracks from:

Jay-Z
Dr. Dre
Common
Snoop
Biggie
Eminem

Current track is "Heart of The City (Ain't No Love)" by Jigga himself.

Yeah, Dan The Automater is excellent. I'm a HUGE fan of Handsome Boy Modeling School.

While I like Make Believe, I don't think it's better than Pinkerton, but it has some great songs like Hold Me, Peace, and Pardon Me. If some of the other songs were as good as those 3, I might agree with you.

As for which Weezer albums I like the best:

Blue>Pinkerton>Make Believe>Green>Maladroit.

Lol way to be, my fav track on that however is Fade to Black. I just love the guitar solos and the intro to that song.




I completely agree with your order from best to least. I am also a big fan of Weezer. The Blue Album is one of my fav cds I own

Has anyone heard Ween?

"there's many colors in the homo rainbow" :whistle:


i just put in some old better than ezra...whatever that album was...deluxe i think

im not even that big of a metallica fan, but The Unforgiven has to be one of the best songs ever made by anyone. anyway thats what im listening to now.

When I was in Middle School, I was a huge Metallica fan, so I have a soft spot for them. I got to meet the band backstage once, and they were pretty nice. Especially FakeReplacementBassist Jason Neustead, who I imagine is very insecure since everyone knows he's only there 'cause Cliff died.

Today

Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream

Soundgarden- Badmotorfinger

and (two of my guilty pleasures)

Strung Out on OK Computer (string arrangements of OK Computer)

Christopher O'Reilly- True Love Waits (Radiohead songs, played by a clasically trained pianist)

Wang

Both are decent albums, but I always prefer the real thing.....have you listened to the tribute Anyone Can Play Radiohead album yet? I dig the Fitter Happier cover on it....

Lol thats not even one of their best songs. Even if you're not a big fan, Nothing Else Matters, One and Enter Sandman are some of their most popular songs/videos and are 10x better than The Unforgiven.

Isn't the phrase "best songs" kind of subjective? If that's what he likes, then that's what he likes....personally I can't listen to anything they released after the Black Album. I much prefer the `80s stuff, even though I don't listen to any of it anymore. The video for "One" creeped me out when I was a kid too...

oh come on, 10 times better? the guitar work in Unforgiven just feels so good on my ears. i think its a much more interesting song than the others.

I call LAME.

Real Metallica fans agree that "And Justice for All" is the greatest Metallica album. I happen to agree, though Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are both right behind.

The Black album is a lot more accessible, but it's definitely less "Metallica" than their earlier stuff. That was when they decided "Fuck this... Metal doesn't pay the bills as well." It's not a bad album, it's just the beginning of the cycle to which "Load" and "ReLoad" were the logical end.

Song of the day..

'The Nth Degree' -- Morningwood

Logan's song of the day:

"Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None)" by Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Warren G, and Kurupt.

mbreon's song of the day: "In the Neighborhood" by Tom Waits....I do enjoy that Cookie Monsterish voice he's got, though it took a while to get used to.

I just got the Album "Moondance" by Van Morrison for V-Day. It is among my five favorite albums. I don't think there is a single bad song on it.
Take a look:

1) And it Stoned Me

2) Moondance

3) Crazy Love

4) Caravan

5) Into the Mystic

6) Come Running

7) These Dreams of You

8 ) Brand New Day

9) Everyone

10) Glad Tidings

I don't think the Black Album is best at all, prolly my 3rd or 4th fav Metallica album. I used those songs because those are the most popular and most well known to someone not a fan of Metallica. And The Unforgiven isn't even close to one of their best songs. The lyrics aren't the greatest, but the guitar solos aren't bad, but not their best song by far.

creeping death is one of my favorite metallica songs of all time..

"DIE! BY MY HAND!!"

Master of Puppets pwns all other Metallica albums when looked at as a whole.

Lightning is close, Justice is a bit too epic, even they admit they got a bit carried away on some of the songs, however Orion is still a great one

Indeed, Lightning and Master are my top 2, don't which one I like more as a whole. Justice is a better album then Black but theres a few songs on Black I like more cuz I love rock ballads.

Moondance is an excellent album....also a big Astral Weeks, His Band and the Street Choir, and Tupelo Honey fan....

Album of the Day: OK Computer by Radiohead.... probably in my top 10 all-time albums. I haven't listened to it in a while, so today seems as good a day as any.

Currently listening to Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses, one of my all time fav albums.

Currently listening to...NOTHING!!

My computer crashed and I lost all, yes all of my music files.

I'm am not a happy person.

CLASSIC!

Logan Rates Radiohead Albums:

OK Computer > Kid A > The Bends > Hail To The Thief > Amnesiac > Pablo Honey

Logan's Song Of The Day:

"Sum Shit I Wrote" by Common (from the album Resurrection)

I've been in a hip hop mood for the past week or so.

for me its OK Computer > Hail To The Thief > Amnesiac > Kid A > The Bends > Pablo Honey

after thinking about it more and listening to a lot of radiohead lately i think i need to move amnesiac to in between the bends and pablo.

Very interesting.

Not many people would put them in that order.

yea its hard putting The Bends and Kid A so far down on a list, but those two and Amnesiac are close. plus i dont think ive listened to The Bends enough. good luck getting that music back.

My order as well....though I am a big fan of the My Iron Lung EP too. Put that above Pablo Honey.

mbreon, If I was counting EP's in my list then My Iron Lung would definately be up there along with Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP.

R.E.M.- Murmur

Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds today....probably their most underrated album, never gets any credit....

atmosphere - lift her pull her

Favorite Metallica albums:

1. Master of Puppets
2. Ride the Lightning
3. And Justice For All...

Favorite Metallica songs:

1. Fade to Black
2. One
3. Orion

There are some songs that I like on their Black and later albums...like Unforgiven I and II, and some other songs worth listening to, but nowhere near the quality as the above three albums where you could listen to them over and over again.

My song of the day is Red Hot Chili Peppers - Midnight.

Not my favorite of theirs, but still pretty good.

My ranking, which I think is pretty standard:

OK Computer >> Kid A > The Bends >> Amnesiac >>> Hail to the Thief

If we had to start ranking EPs and shit, too, it could get tougher. I'd probably have to toss My Iron Lung in after Amnesiac and before Hail to the Thief.


Today:

Guided by Voices- Bee Thousand

I just think this is such a damn cool album. It just never lulls, and everything Pollard writes is just so NEAT. I mean, fucking "Gold Star for Robot Boy"- what an awesome song. How he crammed so many good pop songs into one sub 40min album is mindboggling

Anthony and the Johnsons- I am a Bird Now (and other stuff)

He's growing on me, and everytime he sings I feel like crying

Love is All- 9 times that same song



Wang

Today I'm actually listening to Johnny Cash because I recently saw Walk the Line...

why dont you guys like hail to the theif as much as me?

I like it a lot, I just happen to like all of their albums a lot (minus Pablo Honey). I just don't think it comes anywhere close to OK Computer, Kid A, or The Bends. It's really pretty close between Hail To The Thief and Amnesiac.

Some old school Biz Markie - it pwns!

Logan's Song Of The Day:

"Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band.
