top 5 non-metal albums of all time

[Einherjar86]

Meddle (Pink Floyd)
Selling England By the Pound (Genesis)
Heavy Horses (Jethro Tull)
Rain Dogs (Tom Waits)
Throwing Copper (Live)

That's the best I can do.

 

[genocide roach]

kinda hard, since my non metal interests are "classical". kinda hard to pin down a certain cd/performance. but i'll sum it up with:

stravinsky
penderecki
mahler

edit: does sunn count? cuz i would totally add black one

~gR~

 

[youdontknowme]

Just because I stalwartly defend them from all the unjustified haters doesn't mean I worship them like gods or something.



You'd pretty much have to be dead to not enjoy Boston I think.

AC/DC play straight-forward no bullshit hard rock n roll. whats not to like?

and I've come around for Boston.

Because once you have heard one AC/DC song, you have heard them all. Which is why the only song I have by them is Thunderstruck.

Sunn 0))) is still rooted in metal, but why not? It's a sick record and maybe their best. The new one is going to be so fucking epic.
