Tillerman Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 My musical interests keep spreading. My latest discovery is a very fine recent CD by Opeth called Damnation. Those of you familiar with Opeth will know them as a Swedish death metal band. Most of their CDs have contrasted very heavy metal with a lighter melodic side. Damnation is not metal oriented, but a very musical rock album with dark lyrics (typical of Opeth). Musicianship is excellent and production, along with dynamic range, is very satisfying. What have you found that is new and enjoyable? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBusa Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I'm really digging "avenged sevenfold" 'waking the fallen'. Great rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdmarsiii Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I have been listening to Aerosmith and Pink Floyd for the past 5 years. But I think Blink 182 and Linkin Park are starting to get my attention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I just discovered Robben Ford. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedrummin Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Anyone heard anything by a band called The Darkness yet? My 24 year old daughter (who bless her heart likes classic rock) says they sound like a cross between Led Zep and Queen. I may have to check these guys out.

Klipsch RF7 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Know one can ever sound the same as Queen ever! Faroukh Bulsara was truly a wonderful singer and pianist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juba310 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Opeth- To Bid You Farewell have you heard that one Scott? Its on their Morningrise album- its my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillerman Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 I am listening to it now....great song. Thanks for the heads up! Two other bands I am checking out (CDs are on order) are Ozric Tentacles (prog/trance/jam rock) and The Bevis Frond (acid/ psychedelic rock). There is more to rock music than what is played on the top 40. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 System of a Down - their first album is spectacular, so is Toxicity. In fact, I just fired up the S/T disc a minute before I posted this. Other off-the-beaten track recommendations: Album of the Year - Faith No More California - Mr. Bungle Elephant - White Stripes (warning - this is a decidedly lo-fi, raw album, and deliberately so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffinator Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Ahhhh had to pull these out: Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf - listening to that right now. Great album. Radiohead - The Bends - this album trumped Abbey Road as the best rock album of all time on one particular internet poll (over 4,000,000 votes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackBurner Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 THE FOUR HORESMAN !!!!!!!! And play it as loud as your young ears can handle. The CD your looking for is NOBODY SAID IT WAS EASY . Song 1) nobody said it was easy Song 2) Rockin is ma business If these don`t get your pulse rising then your beyond help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcuron Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I thought the Darkness was a joke the first time I saw the video. I think I will pass on them...sounded awful to me...not even close to the classic bands.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 If your looking for that late '80s hardcore sound. Pick up the the new Probot CD. I didn't care for that type of Rock (Megadeth, Sepultura, Motorhead) the first time around, but this new CD is growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackBurner Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Piranha : This is what your looking for , they were an american band so you should'nt have to much trouble tracking down a copy. If you can't find one let me know , sure i could spark up the old burner if you catch my drift . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOADEDTUNES Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I got that four horseman cd at wall mart a few years back. Any music store should have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
