So what's the best album you've ever bought and why?

Mine: Metallica S&M. Sure, they're newer stuff hasn't been very good. But this is old school Metallica redone. I loved it, best driving music ever. I love the combination of metal and symphony.

Well, I personally have to say Dido's No Angel. Just a presonal preference in music, plus a lack of funds. Otherwise, I'd have a lot larger collection of CDs (most of mine are classical). But then again, just about every song on that album I can relate to, so it holds a lot of meaning for me.

Let's see...

Rammstein - Seinsucht (now that's some METAL!)

Lonestar - Lonely Grill (these guys know what they're about)

Eiffel 65 - Europop (got me into techno)

Beatles - #1 Collection (they're the Beatles...come on)

Transformers Soundtrack (when music was MUSIC and not the cheap boy bands and girls of today)

Metallica - The Black Album
Disturbed - The Sickness
Tool - Aenima
Tool - Lateralus
Orgy - Candyass
Switchblade Symphony - Serpentine Gallery

That's all. For now, at least.

Stevie Ray Vaughan "Live at Carnegie Hall"

The first nine tracks represent an impressive display of guitarwork by a blues legend.

Pick up the DVD "Live from Houston, Texas" Bookends of his career.

My favorite album: Billy Joel "Songs in the Attic"
Coming in a close second: Rush "Exit....Stage Left"

Joe Satriani - Crystal Planet. An entire album of the most amazing guitar playing ever. Spaces out and takes me to weird and wonderful places just listening to it.

Metallica - Ride the Lightning. It's not as refined as "master of puppets" but the raw power of the album kicks ass. Has better guitar solos too.

Jimi Hendrix - Blues. Hendrix kicks ass playing electric blues guitar, it boggle my mind how he improvises and does all the time and rhythm changes while keeping it musical and sounding like blues.

Other notable albums I love;

Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk
Chantal Kreviazuk - Colour Moving and Still
Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Sky is Crying. Has an amazing cover of Hendrix's "Little Wing"
Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Sessions
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Oz

? Haven't heard of that one. Is that Neil Hannon's Divine Comedy? What's on the disc?

I'll throw in a complete unknown - Shine Box, by Picture House. And If This is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back, by the Saw Doctors.

edit: <re-reads list> Oh, I see, Divine Comedy's the album title. oops.

The Beatles -- "1" (IG-88E, you've got a good taste :wink: )
When I bought this album a couple years ago, I was intensely ridiculed by my friends. They just didn't seem to understand my musical taste. The whole thing started again last summer, when I drank several bottles of Estonian beer, grabbed my camcorder and recorded myself singing "Paperpack Writer". At the moment it seemed like a good idea, but the next day when I listened/watched the whole thing, my opinion had changed. :) I still have the whole thing on my hd as a reminder that under no conditions whatsover should I try to sing anything... Still, Beatles is number one band.


Nightwish -- "Century Child"
This is the latest album by this Finnish metal band, and I suggest that all you metal freaks go to the website www.nightwish.com and have a look. Their style is really different from others and I'm not sure if there are any similar bands - their vocalist is studying to become an opera singer. Ah hell, just click here to download samples: (don't even dare to use KaZaa or something similar :lol: )

I didn't pick up the Beatles 1

But I would highly recomend Sergent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road, and The White Albumn. All very good all the way through.

Your avatar is off the number of the beast. And a cool avatar it is... muahahaha. I like Piece of Mind and Iron Maiden better, though.
