RECOMMENDATION THREAD II: Music

[Amnesiac]

I grew up feeling that perhaps I had some musical talent until the sixth grade proved I didn't have bubkus. Bubkus was all I KNEW of music until I started watching VH1, and learned that there was a lot out there that I was not appreciating. Thankfully my tastes have improved substantially and I can now at least talk about music without sounding like a COMPLETE retard. And now that I've started this recommendation thread business, there is now a music thread where people can actually ACTIVELY mention music worth listening to. And since there are more than a few musicians here, I figure the lists should be juicy.

So if YOU have any ALBUMS of ANY KIND that are TRULY DYNAMITE, recommend them here for the benefit of the uncultured masses to which I once belonged!

Here's My list:

The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
OK Computer - Radiohead
Ten - Pearl Jam
Siamese Dream - The Smashing Pumpkins
Kid A - Radiohead
Nirvana Unplugged - Nirvana
vs - Pearl Jam
Bringing Down the Horse - The Wallflowers
Back in Black - AC/DC
Antichrist Superstar - Marilyn Manson
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai (sdtk) - RZA
Doggystyle - Snoop Doggy Dogg
The Wind - Warren Zevon
Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
Fever - Kylie Minogue
Wisconsin Death Trip - Static-X
The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem
Dig Your Own Hole - The Chemical Brothers
G-Sides - Gorillaz

So far, that's mine...what's yours?

[The Pianist]

Despite the diverse and varied musician I am studying to be... I actually have very picky (though still very different) tastes in what music I listen to. Here they are.

Return to Forever - Where have I known you before?
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out / Jazz Impressions of Japan
Tool - Ænima / Lateralus
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms / Thirteenth Step
The Cat Empire - The Rising Sun
Sevendust - Home
Opeth - Damnation

There you go, Fusion, Jazz, Alternative Metal, Alternative Rock, Latinish, Hard Core and Hard Core gone soft 😀
