I am terribly surprised, not one person mentioned Apocalyptica. That is a kickass band. Check out their album - Reflections. Just amazing.

Its a fantastic album!! I listen to it, almost everyday - the whole album in one shot. My favorites are Blue, On an Island, Pocketful of stones and Red sky at Night. And its a trip. I got into it so much, that I am going way back re-visiting Umma gumma, Meddle, Animals and Dark side...

I saw some posts in the non metal category too. I am utterly surprised that there was not a mention of Stanley Clarke. He played in tons of bands, the most prominent one being back in the 70s with Chic Corea, Al Dimeola and Lenny White called Return to Forever. My top 5 favorites on...

Take Pink Floyd with Waters and Gilmour singing those words of psychedelia and also the screams of Waters in some songs, chilling your nerves. You listen to Iron Maiden with Bruce Dickinson singing. The way he delivers every song and belts it with those lyrics is just fuckin awesome...

yeah, its originally called Santoor. Check out http://www.santoor.com/ for more information. Played by a couple of sticks. When you hit one string, its just bliss man.

Shattered - Pantera

I was hanging out with this guy who had the most massive collection of music, back in India. He was playing a compilation CD. I was listening to 'Sins of Thy Beloved' on his deck. I was intensely blown by the sound of that band. Then, there was the song Advent of Morning Rise, next on the...

Ravishankar is amazing on the sitar. There can be no one as skillful as him on that instrument. I am glad that a westerner is into Indian music. Have you heard these guys? 1. Shivkumar Sharma(instrumentalist) - plays the Jal tarang; An instrument which when played makes you remind of...

I grew up in India, listening to Indian classical music - Carnatic and Hindustani styles. Then, there was the influence of Western classical music to styles of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Wagner, Brahms and Tchaikovsky. In western classical, my favorites would include Mozart, Beethoven...

I saw them the second time. Only this time, it was the best, since they played a rare songs and also, I got to meet the guys!

Well, thats how I am. I take a very long time to explore. Thats the exact way I explored Iron Maiden. The very first album I listened was Killers. It took me more than a month to get out of it. Especially Genghis Khan. Of course, I was listening to bits and pieces of Piece of Mind and...

I got into Opeth in 1999. I heard Morning Rise and was utterly blown with only one song then, Advent. I listened to it over and over and it never made me bored. I hadn't explored the rest of the album and in 2000, I started listening to MAYH. From then on, its been Opeth all the way....:rock:

Came to the United States about a year back from India. In India, the scene is bleak. Its usually hip-hop, indie pop, disco, indian carnatic and hindustani. Rock scene is predominantly of the old days there - good old british heavy metal, classic rock, a bit of jazz and blues. Of late, some...
