Great Albums From Beginning To End...

Queensryche - operation mindcrime

Yes! I was wondering if anyone would mention this. Mindcrime is still awesome, I will never get tired of that album. I would also consider Empire to be worthy of this list. I will skip over Silent Lucidity now, but mainly because it's played out and a little gay.

[SchoenfeldsJawMuscles]

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Rolling Stones - Exile of Main Street

[Jasep]

Devil Without a Cause - And it's not even close

[Texter]

Someone please explain to me all the Radiohead love? I never got it and I think I somehow should have.

I agree. I've tried. Its awful to me.




some picks, besides some of the obvious ones you guys have mentioned: (the Floyds and Zepps)

Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
Metallica - And Justice For All
3rd Bass - The Cactus Cee/d
Pearl Jam - Ten
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Van Halen - Van Halen
Rush - Hold Your Fire
Bob Marley - Legend
Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks (64-71)
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

nice choice on 3rd bass.

I'd throw in Oingo Boing - Dead Man's Party
beastie boys - license to ill
AC DC - back in black

[Baron Von Strucker]

JGeils full house for live album

JJCale Naturally
Ten years after Cricklewood green

Honorable mention to deep purple machine head they were average age 18 for this album

[Deal]

My all time favorite 8-track was Queen - Night at the Opera.

In my youth, Fleetwood Mac Rumours, Ted Nugent dbl live gonzo, Styx Grand Illusion, Billy Joel piano man, Kings Kings are here, Pink Floyd the wall, Led Zepplin man with stix, the Monks bad habits... the only album I really listened to on repeat after high school was U2 Joshua Tree. Now I listen to my kids music.

That about tells you how old I am and where i grew up.

3rd Bass, to me, was one of the best rap groups of all time. Their Record Label fucked them over for the Beastie Boys.

Lyrically they were awesome. They had some very creative rhymes, and their samples were excellent. They also knew how to keep their lyrics in time/tempo with the beat...something that Jay-Z completely blows at. For two white guys, they were the shit.





also forgot to add a CD that came out WAY ahead of its time, and if they would reunite again and hit up some more festivals, they could get a rebirth

Digable Planets - Reachin (A New Refutation Of Time And Space)

Can you elaborate?

Obvious omission in this thread imo:

[DRK Star]

In EVERY ONE of his songs, when there is like an 8 beat song, he finishes up the lyrics that should have been punctuated at the 4 beat, around the 5th beat.

When the end of the 8th beat hits, he still hasnt finished the lyrics. My ears want to hear verbal pacing match the pacing of the song. Most rappers do this. Jay Z and Biggie were two that were horrible at it.


Think of the line by Snoop.

Aint nothing but a G-thang BA-BY (ends perfectly with the beat). Snoop is pretty good with this, but occasionally slips up.

A pasty ginger trying to correct Jay Z's rapping. Now I've read it all. I would venture a guess that Jay Z knows more about beats and rapping than you do. Just a guess.

I get what your saying but Biggie had a much better flow than Jay. For example Big Poppa/Hypnotize... other songs aren't meant to keep a beat like I Got a Story to Tell

And those jazz musicians with all their incorrect notes and accents. What's up with that? Play the proper notes, or don't play at all!

All of Brooklyn thanks you.

Devil Without a Cause - And it's not even close

I know we are in the hate STP mode but Devil Without a cause was pretty good album.
"I gotta get set to go an' cut the lawn So I grab my Walkman but before I cut I go behind the garage an' fire it up."

I will most likely be back in this thread but I was surprised to see so much love for And Justice when I prefer Master of Puppets -- puppets may be a too obvious choice for the hipsters.

I don't know if soundtracks count but Repo Man is one I can listen to over and over.

And Blood on the Tracks is an obvious listen through that I never do anymore. Too much pain in those songs for repeat listening.

[DRK Star]

Its because I listen to rap for the beat, and when Jay Z cant stay with the beat, it fucks with my internal rhythm.

When I want to listen to shit that is all over the place, I listen to Jazz.

Not sure why you are criticizing. I enjoy music for certain things, and you enjoy it for others. Neither one of us is "wrong" or have bad tastes necessarily. I just dont like his tempo.

Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks and Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend are both outstanding choices and two of the best marriage fail records ever produced.
