the single trendiest album you like

[NAD]

One of the most AMAZING albums in the history of music.

I don't know the trendiest album I have that I love, probably one of the following:

Referencing this album in a major publication to earn street cred is about the trendiest thing I can think of.

Go to Guitar Center and try to escape this.

90% of the people who own this have never heard it.

I know people that hate metal that own this album.

Go to Guitar Center and try to escape this.

dude on monday my son and I went to Guitar Center and heard a cat playing smoke on the water.

then we drove down the street to Sam Ash and a guy was playing Crazy Train.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Smoke On The Water has to be the #1 most trendiest, most played, w/e by peeps that dont know how to play or in guitarcenter etc etc etc

Remember, Waynes World, in the music store and the sign "NO STAIRWAY".

 

[NAD]

haha I once played Smoke on the Water on a violin, and by once I mean repeatedly over a number of years.

Also Crazy Train is definitely one of my GC Standards along with Master of Puppets and some Corrosion of Conformity. My excuse is that I only pick up an electric geeeeeeeeetar about 4 times a year.

When I first started listening to rock music and stuff when I was a kid, I was really into that Bush album "Sixteen Stone". Didn't like any of their other stuff though. I bet I'd enjoy that album if I listened to it now though.

I still enjoy about half that album.

I own and love ALL their albums.

Well, I'm not the biggest fan of Mechanical Animals.

Nice description. I thought Holy Wood trumped it hands down, wasn't too impressed with the latest one.

 

[Demonspell]

I think the DSOTM entry should be changed to "90% of the people who have this know shit about their albums and/or what's not overplayed on the radio". As far as currently trendy shit I enjoy, probably DEP or Mars Volta.

 

[Mormagil]

i like way too many trendy albums to narrow it down to just one. so buttsex now plz

 

[jimbobhickville]

Mars Volta and Meshuggah.

All of the rest of you should say Tool, btw. I am probably the only one here who isn't a Tool fan, and they are plenty trendy.

I would highly recommend checking out The Science of Things. As a whole, the album is quite good. I think much better than their previous efforts. Razorblade Suitcase has it's moments, but Sixteen Stones kind of lost its edge around '97.

I like a lot of trendy stuff. Been on a Sublime kick lately and of course it's no secret that I'm an Underoath fan. Oh, and Agalloch is one of my favorite bands so... ha!

 

[NAD]

Are Tool trendy? I consider bands trendy when they have a big following that, when it all comes down to it, have no serious fans. I think most Tool fans are pretty serious about them. Could be wrong, I dunno. The Mars Volta would qualify though, I'm sure 90% of people who like them skip all the "dumb noise" parts.

 

[Furious B]

Are Tool trendy?

YES!

 

[J.]

Opeth - Orchid ???????

 

[Night Mare]

What a shit CD cover.

 

[jimbobhickville]

Any band that can sell out big venues in Utah is trendy. Tool is trendy. And since Meshuggah opened for them, they qualify as well

 

[NAD]

I guess my definition of trendy is different, I don't consider it to be the same as popular. Trendiness, to me, indicates a fad status like some fashion bullshit that will disappear within minutes of being the Best Thing Ever. Semantics.

 

[skeptik]

Whatever Jack Osbourne likes is trendy.

ps he likes tool and meshuggah
