What's your best CD?

Problem with Dream Theater is they're too technical and not catchy at all. Dream Theater would increase its fan base immensely if they incorporated catchy riffs.

As a Black Metal enthusiast I'll go with Emperor's "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk". \m/ Other favorite albums are from Gorgoroth, Dark Funeral, Carpathian Forest, Darkthrone, Burzum, Satirycon, Immortal, Bathory, etc.

Yeah, but that's what makes them Dream Theater. They've never been about playing for commercial reasons, they just love to play what they want and they're actually at the most popular they've ever been at this point! Gotta respect a band who says FU to the music industry and still manages to be successful.

Emperor is AWESOME! Anthems To The Welkin at Dusk is mindblowing, With Strength I Burn is the greatest BM song ever.

Scott 4 is an amazing album.

I'm listening to Eat to the Beat by Blondie more than anything else lately, but that's not a CD, it's an LP.

 

[Nighthawk]

Wow another Scott fan, you have immaculate taste sir.

Other fave LPs are Love - Forever Changes, The Power Of ***** by Bongwater, and I was listening to Wall Of Voodoo, Sheila E and CSS on the mp3 player earlier.

 

[TyTe`EyEs]

AC/DC - Back in Black

 

[Fluffy]

There are few albums that I can listen to straight through without skipping tracks, a couple of them are:

The Downward Spiral- NIN
Sgt Pepper - The Beattles

 

[Precursor]

Mines is "Double Up" By R Kelly. Love that I'm a Flirt song. That kills. So does "Best Friend", "Same Girl", "Leave a Message", and "Get Dirty"

TI's King was pretty good but i didn't buy it. My friend burnt it for me, it had like "stand up guy" and "what you know" hahahhaha i feel you valleyingdj.

However, i don't think the newest TI album "TI VS TIP" album is good enough to buy. I don't like any of the tracks.

I agree. I admit the guys have a unique talent every single one of them, but that doesn't also equal to entertainment.

They have quite a selection of tracks that I enjoy listening to, but them being too technical they can get boring after a while.


As for favorite CD...meh I love all my metal collection.

Ill go with Metallica's Master of Puppets album. Stone Sour's self titled album is pretty close too.

You music-lovers might like this site, you can build a play list and listen to a lot of music for free:

http://www.projectplaylist.com/

The playlist will also publish to a myspace page, but it has only been working about half the time. I ended up removing mine, but I still go back to the site to listen to music.

Saves the Day - Through Being Cool

Great CD. Although I'm more a fan of Stay What You Are.

 

[KontrollerX]

2pac- Me Against the World.

That CD I can pretty much listen to all the way through anytime.

Hah, good to see some other metal lovers here. I'd give Nightside Eclipse a slight edge over Anthems, but it's close. "Inno A Satana" is one of the best black metal songs of all time. Immortal's thrashy (At the Heart of Winter and later) stuff is great, too.

As far as my favorite album:

Crowned in Terror by The Crown.

Straight up death-thrash with just the right amount of leads to keep it intresting without getting masturbatory. Really interesting drum work, if you listen for it. They're kind of a death metal version of Slayer. The lyrical content relates exclusively to satan, death, drugs, satan, death, hell, death, satan, destruction, anger, and power. What else could you want from a metal band?

"Nightside Eclipse", yet another great album. "Inno A Satana", yes! \m/, I'm with ya on that one! Seen Emperor here in NY back in May. T'was BRUTAL as ever! Dark Funeral is coming to NYC(B.B. Kings) in October I think. I'll definitely be at that show. Should pack out too!..with some fine ass Metal and Gothic chicks of course.

"Gotta respect a band who says FU to the music industry and still manages to be successful."

Absolutely! That's also why I have so much respect for all the Black Metal and Death Metal bands. They've all flicked their noses at the major record labels, while still maintaining a large number of fans and packing out wherever they go. Talk about a DJ attitude.
