The Classics

[Mick Moss]

Ive been going through my music collection, which is fecking MASSIVE (unlike my cock. boo hoo) to try and boil it down a bit into just the tracks that I like, cause ive got so many cds its just impossible for me to have time to listen and listen to an album in order to get familiar with it and have time to get endeared to certain songs.

Anyway, theres been certain albums that I just cant pick tracks from because its all cool, only a few albums mind.

So that leads me here, ahh. What are the 'classics' ???

(You may have guessed by now that I like hearing peoples views on music, partly because it puts me onto stuff that i would never have heard of - which is also a big reason for doing the forum compilation thats going on at the moment)

Classics can be defined in many ways...I do have a few cds that i feel are timeless (classic) to me.

Alice Cooper - Welcome to my nightmare
Queen - Classics (original 1991 release)
Ramones - Mania
Speilberg/Williams - Best of John Williams compostions from Steven Speilberg movies

These 4 have been in my collection for as long as i can remember and I can still put them on and never skip a song.

Recent classics for me are:

Veruca Salt - Resolver (every woman or even man should have this in their collection if they have suffered a break up with a lover and friend)

Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (every song is a gem and what made me a fan was hearing this cd)

Chris Issak - Heart Shaped World (very moody and sultry)

first 6 sabbath records (monuments)
maiden:beast, seventh son, 1st one.
metallica: lightning, puppets
slayer: reign in blood, seasons
priest: sad wings of destiny, british steel, painkiller
ac/dc: let there be rock, higway to hell
motorhead: overkill, ace of spades
celtic frost: pandemonium, megatherion

some not so classic but briliant stuff:

at the gates:slaughter of the soul
darkthrone: a blaze in the northern sky
carcass: necroticism, heartwork
dark tranquility: mind's i
paradise lost: gothic, draconian times
mdb: turn loose the swans, angel and dark river
six feet under:warpath
napalm death: harmony corruption
cathedral: ethereal mirror, carnival bizarre
tiamat: clouds
and about 20 more i'm to lazy posting...

i just listed some of me fave ones from the metal scene. if i start mentioning all the other great stuff (radiohead, portishead, kyuss, sigur ros, monster magnet, misfits, etc.) we'll end tomorrow. so i'll just stick to metal this time.

and i think every living organism should have the first 6 sabbath records or be decapitated.

but i would like to add Maiden - Life after Death and King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King.
oh and Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin 2, 4 signs (--> the untitled one with stairway to heaven) and Houses of the Holy.
yeah ill come up with some others afterwards probably...

 

[sol83]

led zep iv is a must indeed.

and i hate sabbath without ozzy. it's just not right for me. plus, i was never into the glam/poser 80s sound.

 

[Mick Moss]

its ok the born again thing was a bit of a joke.

 

[sol83]

well, never heard of any 80s sabbath records apart from heaven and hell & mob rules anyway so... once heard the headless cross track on the radio and totaly freaked out!

 

[Cerulean]

Allright, I know a lot of you will dislike my personal favourites again

Tool - Lateralus
Opeth - Morningrise
Metallica - can't choose from first 4 albums
Anathema - Eternity
Katatonia - Brave Murder Day
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
Slayer - Show no Mercy (imo 100 times better than Reign in Blood)
diSEMBOWELMENT - A Transcendence into the Peripheral
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

Oh and Sigur Rós - () might deserve being in that list as well.

 

[sol83]

i really don't disagree with anything much, but show no mercy instead of reign in blood?!?!?!? com' on, i mean, it's good but not as grand as rib. i haven't heard a thrash metal album that even comes near to rib. anyways, opinions...

 

[Cerulean]

I KNEW someone would get on that SNM/RIB case. But RIB is just not really my thing, the songs don't differ that much from each other. It's basically some hyperfast thrash.
In my opinion there's more 'structure' and stuff in SNB

Oh but Angel of Death is fok'n ace of course.

 

[sol83]

it's just 29 minutes. if it was like 45, yes, it would be very boring. btr is very good indeed. and arise and chaos ad.

 

[Ivo]

Sopor Aeternus - "Dead Lovers Sarabande" I & II
"Songs from the inverted womb"

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

'show no mercy' is one of the albums we always used to tease about with me mates. singing 'the antichrist' in the car and that
