I’m sick of my current CD/MP3 collection - Enlighten me

Walkinshaw · 09-08-2005, 11:18 PM

Well, I've come to the decision i need more music.

Im into stuff like

Iced Earth, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Opeth, The Haunted, Manson, Cradle of Filth, Empror, Pearl Jam, Dio, Metallic, Pantera etc. So basicaly "Soft Metal" or atmospheric black metal.

So, does anyone have fav bands within this general genra, or can even suggest bands outside this genra who may appeal.

I'll go and buy CD's of the suggestions. :evil_laug

Steffo · 09-08-2005, 11:27 PM

Led Zeppelin. I have all their music. IMO no one has ever approached their unique sound, really good. Gotta be one of my favourite, if not my favourite band ever.

Got some good bands listed in your post.. Pink Floyd...

GRNKPR · 09-08-2005, 11:30 PM

heap of Pearl Jam All METALLICA Albums and cd s as well as all singles the have sold

Kryton · 09-08-2005, 11:42 PM

system of a down.

Dave_au · 09-08-2005, 11:48 PM

I think Live would fit your collection - best bet would be to get their best of though.

Have you also considered Joy Division/New Order, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers

If you like the older stuff I'd also say the Clash

The MaDDeSTMaN · 09-08-2005, 11:51 PM

What about Nickleback? Some of their 'heavier' stuff I don't mind...

Walkinshaw · 09-08-2005, 11:57 PM

CHeers for the suggestions. I think i may have alluded to something i didnt mean. What i ment by soft metal was things like "Master of Puppets" or "Pantera's Cowboys from hell".

Oh Yeah.... I can thoroughly recommend Mudvayne and Sevendust.... cant believe I forgot to list those.....

MrSparkle · 10-08-2005, 07:22 AM

Umm, try another genre? No wonder you're bored with it, if all you listen to is one style then you are guaranteed to get f@rken sick of it after a while. Hell, I grew out of metal (death/grind mainly) when I was still a kiddie at school!

I agree with Mr Sparkle, widen your horizons. Being eclectic means you are unlimited in your appreciation of all music genres, plus it means you can always find something new on a P2P program.

Go on, try something different. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Wow, some there I had forgot all about, but used to listen to all the time! And how did I forget to suggest Fear Factory?

:

I guess it all depends on your personal taste, what sort of riffs you like, what style of drumming, etc.

I'm going to have to check out some of the other bands in this thread

I forgot Machine Head and Fear Factory - these would probably suit Walkinshaw as well. Ministry and Nine Inch Nails less so. NIN is great.

b2tf · 10-08-2005, 03:17 PM

If you dont have the S&M album done by Metallica and the Orchestra, you're missing out on a HELL of a lot. Even if you dont like Metallica, if you have a good appreciation for music, you'll love this.

Nickelback is great.

Teleto · 10-08-2005, 03:29 PM

W.A.S.P - The Neon God Part 1 The Rise
W.A.S.P - The Neon God Part 2 The Demise

These albums are a story told in songs...and its "soft metal"

GreenMachine · 10-08-2005, 03:30 PM

Tea Party
Nickelback
Audioslave
Motorhead
The Doors
Led Zep

MITCHAY · 10-08-2005, 03:33 PM

I listen to everything pretty much. The same genre gets too boring. You cant dance with the chicks listenin to metal. Get the "A Night at the Roxbury" soundtrack. Thats got some good ol dance stuff on it and some newer stuff.

You have some great bands listed there Walkinshaw, particularly Pink Floyd and Dream Theatre! I'm listening to butt loads of Rolling Stones, Tom Petty and Talking Heads at the moment, but for your tastes I would highly recommend a band named Full Devil Jacket. Anyone know what happened to this band? They released their first album in 2000 then disappeared off the face of the earth. Also check out UPO, I think you'll like both of these bands. UPO's album titled No Pleasentries is awesome.

Paris Hilton · 10-08-2005, 06:22 PM

I'd suggest a few things but if I did I don't think sourbastard and RED_EL_XR8 would ever shutup...

Mike Gayner · 10-08-2005, 06:26 PM

I agree with earlier posts, broaden your horizons. I used to strictly listen to nothing but heavy metal (Marilyn Mansons, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Fear Factory, etc.). After a while I got bored and started listening to older rock. Now days I have totally grown out of the heavier end of the metal scale, but I listen to an heap of old school rock like Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, Rolling Stones, etc. I'm still not extremely broad minded with music (hate hate hate rap, hip hop, techno, dance, etc.) but I'm very glad I sampled older rock because now I love it.

I have no doubt that in a few years time I will tire of classic rock and move onto something else, but all I'm saying is try another genre, or sample a few until you find one you really love. I'm certainly glad I did.

I still highly recommend Full Devil Jacket and UPO for your collection, they are two of the best albums I've ever bought.

BlueRaven · 10-08-2005, 06:30 PM

Pitchshifter
Rob Zombie
Temple of the Dog/Soundgarden/Audioslave/Chris Cornell

Mike Gayner · 10-08-2005, 07:00 PM

Hhmm, Type O Negative, there's a very cool band I haven't heard for a while....
