Eny... I think you would really dig Alice and Chains. Try picking up Dirt. Another one you really dig (based on the stuff you have mentioned liking) is Monster Magnet. Powertrip is a GREAT album. Also try Sublime's self titled album

Hendrix
Ozzy's Black Sabbath

Led Zepp
Janes Addiction
Beatles
Alice in Chains
ACDC
Soundgarden
Blind Melon
Monster Magnet
Muddy Waters (blues counts)
The Police
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sublime
U2
David Lee Roth Van Halen
Queen
Pink Floyd
Green Day
311
Beastie Boys
Guns and Roses suck, they are terrible live and cant play, but Appetite is one of best albums ever lol

This may take a couple of listens to take hold for the uninitiated, but check it out

Gang of Four - Entertainment

Seminal post punk (with the right amount of funk). Play it LOUD.

Hmm I think I saw records on this thread. Um what's a record? j/k

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Some good stuff in this thread. Guns N' Roses is and always will be my favorite band of all-time, so aside from Appetite, I'd recommend Use Your Illusion 1 and 2.

So what's your favorite guns and roses track?

Just speaking for appetite for destruction, I can't pinpoint one particular song. The album is flawless.

"Its so easy", "nightrain", "Mr. Brownstone",

Its kinda stupid to list. Its a front to back classic. How many albums in any catagory can say that?

My favorite GnR track and maybe favorite track by any band is on Use Your Illusion II, it's called Locomotive, it's close to 9 minutes long but it's just a awesome song and the last 2 minutes are just mesmorizing.

I'd say my favorite song from Appetite is Nightrain, but you're right it's great front to back. Although I wish they never put Think About You on that album because it really just didn't fit in with the rest of the album.

The best Guns N'Roses tracks for me are Estranged and You Could Be Mine. I dont like Appetite that much.... I prefer the Illusions.

I dunno favorite album is pretty hard to pick. I do feel the same way about today's music, most of it is trash.

So here goes:

Black Sabbath - Paranoid has got to be one of the best albums ever, they put at least one song from that one on like their every other album, and they were not a bad band in general.

Led Zeppelin is awesome, too, pick any album, so many great songs.

Dio, with Black Sabbath and without is pretty damn good. Heaven and Hell with Sabbath, or Magica by himself are great albums.

Give System a chance from new bands. Some of their stuff is really good. Just skip all the screaming tracks.

I have a recommendation if you are looking for good music you never heard of, try www.pandora.com while it is still up.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

Sublime - 40 oz. to Freedom

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Guns N' Roses
Aerosmith (Kinda surprised nobody mentioned them)
Led Zep
BLack Sabboth
Not a huge Van Halen fan, but they got a few good songs
ACDC

I may be in the minority, but I am actually a fan of some of the newer fans. System of a Down is good and I'm getting kinda big on Disturbed.

Also, I know Rob Zombie is just a sick bastard, and his movies are flat out disturbing and even garbage, but his music can be kinda fun to listen to as well.

Ah Tom, I was hoping someone would add the Talking Heads in this thread since I forgot about them in my post. Great band, David Byrne is quite the musical genius.

King Crimson: perhaps the first metal band? Since 1969 many formations.
Genesis (Pre-1980) (include Peter Gabriel and Steve hackett)
XTC: (Pop at its best)
Todd Rundgren: (Most under rated)
THe Jam: (Revived the Mod era in 1980s. See "paul weller")
The Clash: (Socialist Brit never sounded better!)
The Flower: Kings (Modern Progressive epics)
Roxy Music: (In 1970's created the sound of the 1980's. Did it with Style.)
Mahavishnu: (Ponty, Dimeola, Mclauglin, and others) Fusions best.
Beach Boys. Best VOCAL group ever. Spend two hours listening to PET SOUNDS on a nice system and you'll understnd.

So so many more. Rock is many forms and so many important music. Beatles, Stones, Who and other giants are great, but there were so many others.

Aretha Franklin (Duane Allmans guitar on "the Weight"), The Band, David Bowie, Allman Bros., Grateful Dead, etc etc!

Nalod has 2,000 cds!

I won a WSOU contest back in the day (12-13 yrs ago) and saw Korn at Roseland. I think they were the opening act for a House-of-Pain/Onyx concert with whassisface from Anthrax.

Talking heads was a very important band for me also. Seen them live about 4 times back in the day. Few concerts then could you stand and dance to.

My coolest concert going moment ever may have been when I saw Stone Temple Pilots and they opened with a cover of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Totally unexpected and blew everyone away.

Scott Weiland is a big Pink Floyd fan. Velvet Revolver (Weiland and Slash's new bad) are on tour they'll often break out Wish you Were Here during the acoustic portion of their set. Very good. They also just covered the Talking Heads Psycho Killer, it sounds awesome.
