The Top 5 List Thread

[Serjeant Grumbles]

#5 is definitely the odd one out, since all the other songs are off Wildhoney.

 

[EspaDa]

Yeah, I didn't want to include all 5 songs off Wildhoney. And yeah, the song titles are objectively weird.

Wildhoney

 

[Sirjack]

I remember buying Wildhoney on CD when it came out in.....? 93? 94? And being totally disappointed. I still read today about how great that album is but..maybe Tiamat have better albums? Any recs or is it a case of if you didn't like that don't bother?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Their later albums are more goth rock-oriented, so I'm not sure that would be what you're looking for. I've only listened to one other album in its entirety besides Wildhoney, and that's the previous one, Clouds, which is death/doom at its core.

1. The Court of the Crimson King
2. Starless
3. Epitaph
4. Cirkus
5. Book of Saturday

Fuck, I failed to include Fallen Angel and Larks' Tongues in Aspic. Top 5 is too short list when it comes to King Crimson.

 

[The Ozzman]

Top 5 King Crimson songs:

Frame by Frame
Elephant Talk
Neal and Jack and Me
Heartbeat
Sleepless

 

[no country for old wainds]

'starless', 'epitaph' and 'fallen angel' are my jams, but i have a lot of deaf spots with king crimson. i've been intimately familiar with their two biggest albums for over a decade and have acquainted myself with a couple others, but i'm yet to really explore their discog in depth.

Sumerian Cry and The Astral Sleep are pretty much essential OSDM. If you like those then you should also look into the compilation material from what they did under the name Treblinka.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

My King Crimson would probably be something like

5. Dinosaur
4. Starless
3. Cirkus
2. One More Red Nightmare
1. Indiscipline

So not in their entirety?

Anyway, 5 best Stephen King novels:

• 'Salem's Lot
• The Shining
• The Stand
• Skeleton Crew
• Night Shift

1. Under the Dome
2. The Stand
3. Needful Things
4. 'Salem's Lot
5. The Eyes of the Dragon

My favorite kind of Stephen King novel is the kind where he just builds up a large cast and then lets chaos unfold for a thousand pages. He's written it a few times.

 

[Vilden]

I haven't read Under the Dome, but if the tv series is any indication it is waaay to similar to the comic book "Girls" by the Luna brothers. Boarderline rip off imo.
