For RRBM:
Les Savy Fav-The Cat and the Cobra

1. I don't know if you like DC punk (Fugazi, Q and not U, Faraquet - actually you should listen their ablum, too), but this sounds more like that stuff - kind of, post-punk
2. It fucking rocks, plus they're actually good musicians
3. Not at all emo

[ball1jj]

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory

1) Every single song on the CD is perfect and it never gets old. I listened to it 5 or 6 times a day the summer it came out because I did nothing but drive all day.

2) The music is so inspirational, with meaningful lyrics that you can feel and get with.

3) The music itself fucking rocks. There are no harder workers in the business and you can hear it on every track. Chester vocals are amazing and no one has the range he does.

Nickelback - The long road.

1-2-3: the album rocks

[Superficial]

Except for Minionated (and in fairness using Pixies was like using a handgun at scrabble) This forum has TERRIBLE TASTE in music.

What? Les Savy Fav are awesome

[Superficial]

You'll need more persuasiveness than that.

[Equality 7-2521]

More than what?

How about: pretty please?

[yogurty pie]

Except for Minionated (and in fairness using Pixies was like using a handgun at scrabble) This forum has TERRIBLE TASTE in music.

how can you NOT like muse??

[Superficial]

How can anyone like Muse, I spent 20 minutes watching them live, got tired of warbling vocals, shitty piano and bad solos. Than I went and saw basement jaxx.

[yogurty pie]

are you kidding? they're supposed to have the best live performance, ever. they make great music.

[Superficial]

supposed to.


I have seen them, you havn't... That's not arguing.

[yogurty pie]

i'm not trying to argue - how can you argue musical taste? ive seen them on tv...but tv never does anyone justice. nevertheless, their music is good.

[Superficial]

Ok, lets not argue music as a personal choice.

[Minionated]

Mr.house is about to bust in here

[punch drunk love]

Radiohead - Kid A

1. It beats everything
2. listed in this
3. thread so far

[iambatman]

The Allman Brothers Band
"Where It All Begins"

1. Southern Rock Blues at its best
2. Dicky Betts
3. No One to Run With is a fantastic song

Eat a Peach
Allman Brothers Band

1. They kick ass
2. You can listen to the whole album
3. Dicky Betts and Duane Allman - The greatest guitar duo ever. If you don't believe me, listen to Blue Sky, Little Martha, and the first 12 minutes of Mountain Jam.

[boner #5]

Sigur Ros "Takk..."

1 - Their most "radio friendly" album yet.
2 - You can't understand what the fuck they are saying yet sing along to it.
3 - The best drumming since Autolux's "future perfect" album.

[endblink]

Girl Nobody - The Future Isn't What it Used to Be (http://www.newmusiccanada.com/genres/artist.cfm?Band_Id=6230)

1) Excellent chill or Sexy Sexy music

2) Her voice is absolutely amazing

3) It's one of those bands no one has ever heard of, but the songs kick ass, so you'll feel very pimp that you know of something awesome that no one else knows.

Personal favourite track - Cages

[endblink]

How can anyone like Muse, I spent 20 minutes watching them live, got tired of warbling vocals, shitty piano and bad solos.Their cover of Feeling Good is amazing. Especially the live version with the megaphone. You can go wrong with a megaphone.

NickelbackWhat, seriously (http://www.nintendorks.com/brandon/archives/000475.php)?

[yoyomellow]

Beach Boys-Pet Sounds

1. It was ahead of their time
2. It is considerate by some to be the best album of all times (Beatles thought so), complex harmonies and beautiful music
3. It inspired the Beatles to write Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club

[Bumba]

50 Cent - G.R.O.D.T

1. It's a classic

2. He Ended Ja rules career with this album

3. He'll have you knocked off

[magicx_3]

2. He Ended Ja rules career with this album

Hells yeah!! definitely worth it!

[yoyomellow]

so Ja Rule doesn't record anymore?

[magicx_3]

ja rule is a punk...and he got punked by fiddy!!

[ball1jj]

50 Cent - G.R.O.D.T

1. It's a classic

2. He Ended Ja rules career with this album

3. He'll have you knocked off

I don't know if you are serious or not with this album, but 50 cent is a candy cane rapper. And Ja Rule swung back harder with that New York track with Fat Joe. I see 50 running off to be in a shitty movie while Ja Rule is still standing.

This is one of the funniest things ever, you have to check it out:

http://zipperfish.com/free/yaafm10.php

[magicx_3]

they both pretty much suck big time but I feel like ja has just dropped out..where the hell is he??

[Smegma]

Hmm, I haven't listened to it in a long while, but let's go with :

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic

1. I know every word to every song on this album
2. They aren't my favorite band but I like them more than I realize
3. There is a song for my every mood.

[MiraQueFancy]

deftones-around the fur
1. a perfect balance of singing and screaming
2. love the breakdowns
3. great to have sex to

[Ell]

Pixies-Doolittle

1.Most of the bands you like wouldn't exist without this album

2.Where Is My Mind (song at the end of Fight Club)

3.The album came out in the 80s and sounds like it was made this year.

MOST DEFINATELY AGREE X 100

WEIRD, I WAS GOING TO POST THE PIXIES TOO, AND DOOLITTLE IS MY FAVE OUT OF THEIR ALBUMS.

[Ell]

+ Fight Club is awsome.

[Alex]

Unorganized Crime - Life Story

1. It's completely instrumental. No lyrics.

2. It's good 'thinking' music.

3. I produced it. :P

[JobWasACubsFan]

The Beatles--Abbey Road

Because they just had it, plain and simple.

[yoyomellow]

I totally forgot...


John Coltrane-Giant Steps!!

tell me someone knows this great...

[Sedrox]

My #1 album of all time: Dark Side of the Moon.

Inscrutable.

Props to RHCP (BSSM), Pixies, Radiohead, Coltrane, Allman Brothers, Raffi.

[gib786]

50 Cent - G.R.O.D.T

Come on man, stop hating and be honest for once in your obscure existence. I'm no 50cent dick rider but dude makes good music. If he didnt he would not, I REPEAT...would not..have as much money and power as he does now. Ja rule was nice, but he was simply an artist turned (sub-par) movie star...shit if fifty does a movie rght now it will def sell. He's on fiya and you can't deny it. So shut it!

[Noel]

Coldplay - X&Y.

Reason One: A Message is on it.
Reason Two: I'm in the Fix You video.
Reason Three: Coldplay are the best band of 2005 thus far.

[Superficial]

Coldplay are painful, Hard-Fi or M.I.A. are the best band of 2005.

[Superficial]

M.I.A. loses for not being a band I guess...

[iambatman]

Robert Randolph and the Family Band
Unclassified

1. A return to what R&B really is, rhythm and blues. Not that half rap half crap stuff.
2. Robert Randolph wailing away on his pedal steel guitar.
3. They're good. Good enough to play/tour with eric clapton and santana

[jethro]

Van Morrison "Moondance"

1) Sexiest album ever recorded by a white man.
2)Not coincidentally his best album.

[jethro]

Neil Young Prairie Wind

I bought it two days ago and listened
to it ten times since.
It is supposedly part of a triumvirate
contaning itself, Harvest, and Harvest Moon.

I think it fits.

The lyrics are even more introspective than usual,
a result of a recent Anyeursm.

So far my favorites are 'Falling Off the Face of the Earth'
'It's a Dream', and 'When God Made Me'.

[adonistic]

Americana, by the offspring

1. The music is FUN!
2. It has nice socially responsible messages about life, how working is good and crime has consequences:"My friend has a girlfriend and I hate that bitch!", Walla Walla
3. "He asked for a 13 but they drew a 31!"

[jethro]

Touche'

I'm probably going to get mocked but...

Be Here -- Keith Urban

1. It's commercial yet personal and sensitive

2. It's top-down (as in car, you perverts :wink:) music

3. It's knee-slappin' banjo-y :lol:

[punch drunk love]

the shins - oh inverted world

1. this album always puts me in a good mood
2. lovely voice
