I'm also getting into Rush. Now I know lots of you people like Rush! I've heard Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves so far. What are your top 5 Rush albums for a newbie?

[Talking Meat]

Exactly, great Rush list though Caress of Steel is in my top-5.

Jazz/reggae.....can't get more exact match than Charlie Hunter - Natty Dread. Covered the Marley album straight through, very dope.

I probably got the recommendation here, but this band Collapsar is rockin me right now. Great musicians that lie somewhere between Don Caballero and Cynic on the heaviness scale.

 

[Heckelgruber]

Just got 2112 today... favourite so far I think.

 

[Slayer101]

If you're into jazz fusion metal then try some Cynic.
Ateist is also an awesome band.

ive heard martin lopez also has a lot of jazz influence imo

 

[Rødt_Og_Svart]

Oh come on. Cynic aren't that bad.

There are plenty of good Scandinavian bands out there, but for some good old fashioned old school Western-style rock and roll, check out the following two bands:

Early Man
The Sword

You will not be disappointed. Pay special attention to "Freya" on The Sword's Age of Winters album.

noone said that

 

[Slayer101]

What's wrong with Cynic

 

[derbeder]

vocals

 

[Opethian666]

I love Atheist and Pantheist. Probably because I am both an atheist and a pantheist.

 

[Slayer101]

I love atheist.
Is there anything wrong with them

 

[Fade to Black]

Noisecore!!!
Callisto - true nature unfolds
Cult of Luna - The Beyond, Salvation and Somewhere along the highway
Isis - Panopticon

 

[NFU]

most of this thread = yawn.

 

[OpethNZ]

tricky - maxinquaye

 

[Procella]

Cult of Luna - The Beyond, Salvation and Somewhere along the highway

Though I really hate the word 'noisecore"... Does it make any sense?

Seppuku - Highly obscure Japanese ninja themed Black/Death.
