[EchoForever]

@CASSETTEISGOD have you listened to everything by DOOM? im sure you have
whats your favorite track by him
gas drawls is a great one from operation doomsday

 

[CiG]

I couldn't begin to choose my favourite/his best tracks from Operation Doomsday, it's a masterpiece and just way too consistent.

But have you listened to his shit under the pseudonyms Viktor Vaughn or King Geedorah? KMD were also amazing in their day, especially Black Bastards.

This is an obvious classic.



If you haven't heard Madvillainy definitely get on that.



As to some of my personal favourite DOOM tracks, nothing from Operation Doomsday because too hard:

Fazers
Lickupon
Bada Bing
One Beer
The Drop
Impostas
Gazillion Ear
Get U Now
Beef Rapp
Space Ho's (Madlib remix)

 

[EchoForever]

ive listened to everything doom put out even back in KMD
this track is great on MM... leftovers


favorite doom album is MM... Food followed by the mouse and the mask


i havent liked anything hes done recently like Bishop Nehru

 

[Internally Deformed]

EchoForever, what's the album with the faceless galactus looking thing from your top ten?

 

[EchoForever]

oh thats Monster Movies by Can, or at that time they were called The Can
that album fucking rules

 

[CiG]

Yeah, NehruvianDOOM was pretty crap. If DOOM had've emceed on it, maybe it would be halfway decent.

I wish the collaboration project between DOOM and Ghostface Killah would materialise already...

 

[EchoForever]

Flying Lotus and DOOM collab needs to happen
its fucking bound to at some point

 

[CiG]

Honestly, after his last few collaborations (which were mostly good) I'd rather he start doing more orthodox shit, like for example collaborating with MF Grimm again, or some epic lyrical project with the GZA.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Kansas - Leftoverture
The Clash - Combat Rock
The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
The Stooges - Raw Power
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dreams
Tool - Lateralus
Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin
Descendents - Milo Goes to College
Black Flag - Damaged
Rush - Hemispheres
The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

There's more but that's just some I'd recommend.

 

[CiG]

GZA's new album is taking forever.

 

[Burkhard]

I've been meaning to do this for quite some time, but I find it nearly impossible to put the albums into a specific order - well, maybe apart from the first three. Nevertheless, I will give it a try:

1. Kari Bremnes - Løsrivelse
2. Ketil Bjørbstad - Sunrise
3. Kari Bremnes - Live
4. Kate Bush - The Dreaming
5. Kari Bremnes - Svarta Bjørn
6. Tactile Gemma - Tactile Gemma
7. Lill Lindfors - Ett liv
8. Två Fisk Och En Fläsk - Jungfruburen
9. Gåte - Iselilja
10. The Third and the Mortal - Memoirs

3. Genesis - Trespass​

While there are songs ("The Musical Box" and "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight") on other Genesis-albums I like better than any song on this album, "Trespass" is probably the only Genesis-album which doesn't contain at least one song I don't like. (BTW, my faves on this one are "White Mountain" and "The Knive".)​

Dead Can Dance - Withing the Realms of a Dying Sun

I would have included it in a Top 20.

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

Without "I Know What I Like" and "More Fool Me", this would be my favourite Genesis-album.

 

[PrincessHades]

Rush-Signals
Rush-Moving Pictures
Styx-Pieces of Eight
GG Allin-Always Was, Is, and Always Shall Be
GG Allin-E.M.F
Hexenhammer-Hexenhammer (demo)
Burzum-Hlidskjlaf
Burzum-Daudi Baldrs

 

[CiG]

Burzum-Daudi Baldrs

Definitely one of my all time favourite non-metal albums. Sometimes I play it on repeat all night while I read.

 

[PrincessHades]

Definitely one of my all time favourite non-metal albums. Sometimes I play it on repeat all night while I read.

I really enjoy it, however, I think that Hlidskjlaf is the epitome of Burzum's ambient career. Sol Austan, Mani Vestan and The Ways of Yore are excellent releases as well, but they don't have the same spirit about them as Burzum's earlier stuff.

 

[CiG]

I like Hliðskjálf but it's just a little subtle and mellow for my more common moods.

 

[Sophii]

Hell yeah I can get in on this.

Gorillaz, Praxis, Jeremy Soule, Dax Riggs, King Crimson, The Cure, and Kraftwerk are especially some of my non metal favorites.
Though if I had to a comprehensive list of specific favorite albums:

Gorillaz - Demon Days
King Crimson - Lizard
Praxis - Metatron
Death Cube K - Dreamatorium
Laibach - Opus Dei
Mr.Bungle - California
Crosses - Crosses
Cure - Pornography
Miles Davis -Sketches of Spain
Holst - The Planets

 

[Dog Hates Us All]

Pink Floyd - Animals
Radiohead - OK Computer
Ozric Tentacles - Waterfall Cities
Tool - Aenema
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
Peter Gabriel - So
King Crimson - Red
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Bloodsugarsexmagick
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Faith No More - The Real Thing
U2 - Achtung Baby
Jesus And Mary Chain - Automatic
R.E.M. - Green
Bob Mould - Black Sheets of Rain
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Muse - Absolution
