Re: Albums that rocked your world.
I second the Postal Service, and I credit Brandon for mentioning them and introducing me.
The Presidents of the United States of America. All their albums are great. Watch for the new one August, I think. Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way, and One Hot Minute. Great stuff. Flea is amazing. Rx Bandits - Progess. Zox - Take Me Home. Local Band from Brown University in RI. GREAT live shows. Great Bassist. Alien Ant Farm. Both their albums. Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue. I find myself listening to it more and more. Matt Nathanson - Beneath thses Fireworks. The reason I'm gonna get an acoustic guitar. The Apex Theory - Topsy Turvy Tonic - Lemon Parade Boxcar Racer - Self Titled Celldweller - Self Titled. Holy Moly. I could sit here all day and list more. But I'll limit it to that. |

Jay-Z & DJ Dangermouse -The Grey Alblum
Three Day's Grace- Three Day's Grace And hands down the most influential album and one that rocked my world, Blue Man Group- The Complex The themes in the album stand out compared to other music, plus the music just kicks $@#$@#$@#! :ahh: |
Re: Albums that rocked your world.
This post took some careful consideration. Just by putting these, I feel like I'm leaving thousands of great albums out.
AC/DC - Back in Black This album, owned originally on vinyl by my parents, has always been something I can go back to. I have been known, on occasion, to use a vacuum as a guitar during 'Rock 'n Roll Ain't Noise Pollution'. It is, by far, the best album to play while cleaning house. Just put on your Van Halen bandanna (if you also own one, you rock) and get out the Windex. Death Cab for Cutie - The Photo Album Death Cab for Cutie - We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes I saw DCFC in Chicago when The Photo Album was just coming out. My socks were rocked. These are still favorites. There are just some albums you listen to and think, 'This was what high school was for me.' This is exactly that. Deftones - White Pony There is no better driving music than this album. Passenger features Maynard James Keenan from Tool (below on this list) and is so great. Change (in the house of flies) is also a favorite. Eh, the whole album is a favorite. It's on repeat as we speak. Garth Brooks - The Limited Series I could, quite possibly, be the largest Garth Brooks fan this side of the Mississippi. I have listened to him ever since I first saw him appear on an episode of 'Empty Nest' and have been a doting fan ever since. My first Garth concert was when I was 7, and there were three more to follow. I even got pointed at. Yes, folks, Garth Brooks pointed at me. I'll be signing autographs. John Mayer - Heavier Things John Mayer - Room For Squares Both of these albums have such a wide range of emotion and are so well-written, I can't help but love them. I associate a bit more with Heavier Things, being that the issues in them are a little bit more well-defined and the music a tad more complex and fitting. I could listen to these for days. They are feel-good music, they are relaxing music, they are 'I just want to be alone' music, they are everything. Peter Gabriel - Hit Phil Collins - ...Hits I once had a teacher who told me the greatest wisdom of my life - 'You never go a single day without hearing Phil Collins.' It's so true. Although it's somewhat injustice to lump these two Genesis greats together, these albums are mandatory. Peter Gabriel is incredible - Sledgehammer? In Your Eyes? Big Time? Shock the Monkey? Solsbury Hill? All of them are so good it hurts. Phil Collins is the man. No qualms. He's the man. Pink Floyd - The Wall I have this on vinyl (again, a hand-me-down from the parental units) and I will argue that it's just not the same on CD. The movie, in turn, is excellent (and the acting on his part turned me into a lifelong Bob Geldof fan, sans Band-Aid). The whole album is a masterpiece. There's not a whole lot I can say to do it justice. I also recommend Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here (great albums and great songs). Tool - Aenima I am a closet Tool fan. I have listen to them since the way-back-when. This is my favorite album they've produced, and it's a frequent play in my car (especially on bad days). I recommend this to anyone who anyone who has been to an Ozzfest. |

Re: Albums that rocked your world.
Hrmm...
Every album/ep by Ben Folds, with and without the Five :) Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First The Get Up Kids (self-titled) System of a Down - Steal This Album! There are others but these are all I can think of at the moment - I'm horrible with artist/album/song names, and especially getting the trio all right at the same time :) |
Re: Albums that rocked your world.
I'll have to agree that Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is on my list too.
But it doesn't begin to make sense unless you watch the movie of the same name (and then it makes even less sense:ahh: ).. lol Also, another album that rocks my world is "Hellbilly Deluxe", and the remix of all those songs "American Made Music To Strip By" by Rob Zombie Gotta love those songs - Dragula, Living Dead Girl, Demonoid Phenomonon among others. Great stuff.:D |
Re: Albums that rocked your world.
Oops.. Double post. Guess you can't edit, after a few days.
Anyways, I just remembered another album that rocked my world - sort of. I suck at math. But, when I was taking my Pre-Algebra, and Algebra classes in College, I would hog two computers and use one for the software (they were computer based math classes) and one computer for the listening of a CD. It seemed that the days I had my CD to listen to was the days I understood more of the software and (even more importantly) the algebraic procedures. Anyways, the CD I listened to during those times was: Wyclef Jean and the Refugee Allstars - The Carnival. I doubt if it was the music or words that made learning easier for me on those days, maybe it was just that I was in a more relaxed environment, listening to some tunes and going at my own pace with the studies... |
