So...What Album Did You Just Listen To?

Actually not listening to any recorded music…
my neighbors the Gove Street Back Yard Band are having a jam session…
they pretty good… southern rock, hard country, kinda Montgomery Gentry playing with the Charlie Daniels Band.
Some of the boys from Hard Ride playing too so theres some Metal Country…
thats right… Metal Country, just something you have to hear to believe.
Think Metallica doing covers of Johnny Cash. :eek:

-p :cool:

While working in the campus machine shop earlier today (milling parts for a RBE2001 group project), In Silico by Pendulum, Fix Your Face by TRVS & DJ AM, and then Here We Stand by The Fratellis were the albums of the day.

Right now, I’m listening to Any Time Now by O.A.R.

Today, as I shot my way through about nine cars (and re-realized why I like the Buick Lucerne), I was listening to the X-Ecutioners’ Built From Scratch. I’m not usually a turntablism kind of guy, but their particular style works for me.

Once that ran out, I started on Wyclef Jean’s The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book. The follow-up to The Carnival, it’s more straightforward hip-hop (well, by Wyclef’s standards anyway). Regardless, it’s worth finding…but if you don’t have the cash right now to dig through the used CD bin, well

haha i still listen to vynal!
among my favorite “licorice Pizzas”

syxx~Grand Illusion
Beatles~Abbey Road
Iron Maiden~Killers
Van Halen~Van Halen I
Boston~ Self Titled
Boston ~ don’t look back
Asia~self titled
scorpions~Blackout
Def Leopard~pyromania
and of course…
Pink Floyd~Wish You Were Here

yup i’m kinda retro:D

Gottas agree with you wholeheartedly on The Carnival! I trudged through many long days & night of homework my freshman year of college listening to that CD repeatedly! It was my only saving grace while in those computer labs writing papers, or working on equation after equation in the math lab.
I only got interested in it because of the “Staying Alive” Bee Gees remix, but soon grew to love the whole CD. It had it all. Comedy, good beats, awesome songs, classic songs, slow ones, uptempo songs…
Great CD!!!

Dare I say, it was very similar to what Kanye attempted & did in Graduation years before Kayne did it.
Combine old & new, & mix it up in sometimes crazy ways, & make a great compilation!

I’ve heard of Techno-Country (Rednex) - I’ve even heard of Rap-Country (Cowboy Troy & this one too), but Metal-Country?!?!?!
This I have got to see (or hear)!!! lol

Today: Barenaked Ladies’ Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991-2001). A suitable introduction to BNL for the uninitiated.

lets see… today on my stack o’ vinyl i pulled out:

spirit in the sky- noman greenbaum
feels like i’m fixin’ to die- country joe and the fish
best of- dick dale
walk don’t run- the ventures
something out of the ordinary-queen

Marty Friedman- Scenes
Some of you may know him as a fromer member of Megadeth, most famous in my opinion from the Rust in Peace album and songs like Holy Wars, Hangar 18, and Tornado of Souls.

In his post-Megadeth career, Marty Friedman has released several solo albums, which are departures from his work with Megadeth. Full of melody, expression, and marty’s awesome songwriting abilities, Scenes is probably my favorite solo album of his, at least at this moment. This album also has plenty of technicality and shredding to it as well, so don’t think it’s all soft melodies.

Also, if you enjoy Marty’s shreddier side of his playing, check out Cacophony, a band that he and Jason Becker were in. Not a lot of… let’s say substance… but lots and lots of shredding.

Along the drive to and from TNT:

Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon (why did I like this ten years ago?)
*Ego Trippin’ *by Snoop Dogg (not his best, I think)
*American Gangster *by Jay-Z (epic)
Gnarls Biggie by Sound Advice (good stuff)
MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 by Lauryn Hill (highly underrated)
*St. Elsewhere *by Gnarls Barkley (still good, even if you’re tired of “Crazy”)
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill (also great stuff)

There were more, but I don’t remember all of them.

really late… but i totally agree

also

AC/DC- black ice
Metallica- Death Magnetic
T.I- Paper Trail
Kanye West- Graduation

Forty Licks - The Rolling Stones One of the greatest bands of all time as well as the best concert I ever saw
Recollection - Creedence Clearwater Revisited Great if you like southern rock. Much better than the original. Basically the drummer and bassist from the original band decided to start up a new one. Also saw these guys live this past summer. Sounds better than when John Fogerty was in the band.

Lenny Kravitz- Greatest Hits

lets see…

meatloaf~ bat out of hell
TYR~Ramund Hin Unge
Mettalica~ …and justice for all
Rammstein~ Rammstein
Kiss~ Hotter than Hell
Blue Öyster Cult~ agents of good fortune
and last but not least
Pink Floyd~ piper at the gates of dawn
♫long live music!♪

I was going to post a thread like this after the Metalheads thread got my music mind on track, but why not revive this very similar one I found with the Search function?

None of these are particularly new, I’ve just actually gotten into music since college.
**
Does It Offend You, Yeah? - You Have No Idea What You’re Getting Yourself Into** - *I was looking for “loud electronic rock” and stumbled upon this inspired little album. Kind of Daft Punk like in the sounds it uses, but more… screaming. *
The Postal Service - Give Up - I’m about 7 years behind, but I still like electronic indie pop, and you still can’t beat The Postal Service.
Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs - …or Ben Gibbard in general. Emotion without emo. :slight_smile:

Speaking of the metalheads thread, it’s time to put some decent music in this thread.

I’ve been reliving the glory days of Slayer with Reign in Blood and Seasons in the Abyss, Meshuggah’s obZen has also been working into the rotation, Dancers to a Discordant System is now competing with Bleed for my ‘Best Track’ award.

There’s a few:
Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment
Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown
Green Day - International Superhits!
Green Day - 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours
Green Day - Nimrod
Green Day - Shenanigans
Green Day - Warning
Green Day - Kerplunk!
Green Day - American Idiot
Rise Against - Siren Song of the Counter Culture
Rise Against - The Sufferer & the Witness
Rise Against - Appeal to Reason

There’s many more from the Beatles, Black Sabbath, Avenged Sevenfold, The Who, Pink Floyd, ect…

I just finished uploading a good number of CD’s to my computer, and I’m listening through them.

SuperUnknown-Soundgarden
POD-The Breeders
Frank Black (I forgot the album title)
Signals, Calls and Marches-Mission of Burma
Tragic Kingdom-No Doubt
Stop Making Sense-Talking Heads
This is Spinal Tap-Spinal Tap
Live at Leeds-the Who
Surrealistic Pillow-Jefferson Airplane

RoseJ - Got enough Green Day? :cool:

I’ve been listening to a lot more radio than CDs/iPod lately, so I haven’t listened to a lot of complete albums, but the most recent two have been Lovesick Electric, by Hot Chelle Rae, and Bad Vein’s self-titled album. Both were because I was handed the demo CDs in journalism the other day and was asked to write reviews, and I ended up liking both bands a lot.

So far today I’ve listened to Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs and Shining - VI - Klagopsalmer.

I just finished Fair Warning - Van Halen on my ipod
