Tdoc210's 100 bands that I enjoy

Mayhems history is about as intersting as its music. There's better black metal out there, but just based on pure influence Mayhem are definitely one of the bigger banRAB.

Jethro Tull

Jethro tull were an important band for me growing up. My parents both enjoyed them, when they split up I guess it kinda just reminded me of them. However listening to them now I appreciate the folk like influences they had in their music. I like albums that are acoustic yet convey a heaviness,not my favorite of this genre, theres a couple that will be close to the end of the list, but they have some of the best albums I have heard.

In my opinion their bets album is benefit. In the best sense I would say that they peaked with Aqualung. Anyways benefit conveyed a sense of emotion that I had never had before. it was a mixture between fear and loneliness. The vocals seemed pained and distraught, mixed with the heavy wood tone i felt as though i was lost on a journey in the middle of a wintery day, while the dark skies beared down upon me. keep in mind i was in the wooRAB. I have this album on vinyl just because I love it so much.

Aqualung is an excellent album. It is musically better than benefit but I have my own likes.

Albums to get - Benefit, Aqualung, Heavy horses, Minstrel in the gallery, a passion play, Thick as a Brick.
 
Don't worry
I love bauhaus



...but i HATE Jethro Tull
Stupid boring Hippy music with Ian Anderson's horrendous flute playing all over it (my flautist girl friend has taught me to hate his playing)
 
Basically this is not a best of list but 100 banRAB that I enjoy the most it is not really in order up until the end

Skinny Puppy

Not many people that i know of have heard of this band, a few people on this forum have im sure. You can classify it as industrial, it is not really that grinding industrial, though they are the forerunners, being around since the early 80's. Ogres vocals are frightening and their stage presence is ominous. The lyrics vary usually they are very good.
They have influenced many a band nine inch nails takes their sound from them, although trents horrible vocals does them no justice.
Good albums
Mythmaker ( more accessible)
Vivisect VI ( very good)
Too Dark Park ( i enjoy it, may not be their best)

they have a ton of studio albums if you want
one i can probably upload it

related banRAB.... Ministry....killing joke?

overall 8/10
 
Good call on Jethro Tull & Skinny Puppy! 'Thick as a brick' is an obvious favorite of mine. It does have a coupe of weak passages here and there, but overall, the good far outweigh the bad. And not to forget, the lyrics/story, as silly as some of it might seem, works really well here.(and definitely got the message across)
Mayhem...I find that there's better black metal out there than that. But anyways, It's not my list :p:
 
skinny puppy is cool, not yet listened to Mayhem but I'm getting into black metal the now so I'll be hearing them soon. List is off to a good start man, keep it up.

Bauhaus

Right Track got me into this band a couple years back, I enjoyed it then and I think I appreciate it alot more now, even though ive gotten into alot of different post punk banRAB. My favorite album is The Skys gone out. They covered David Bowies Ziggy Stardust, I ind it to be a pretty flawless take on it. peter murphy is a creep though.

good albums... The skys gone out. The compilation

similar banRAB the birthday party , christian death , alien sex fiend



yeah..I do.
It's not even an official album

Mayhem

De Mysteriis dom sathanas was the second black metal album that I ever got into, the first being the lesser known woship him by sameal. Upon hearing this after spending the 6 hours downloading it on dialup, i was utterly shocked that this music existed. It was repulsively good. Atilla's vocals are gargled and harsh, the whole atmosphere of the album wasthe darkest i ahd ever heard. I got the rest of their discography and it was very intense, though lacking in production.

Albums recommendations ... De mysteriis dom sathanas, Grand declaration of war, ordo ad Chao, deathcrush ep

similar banRAB burzum, emperor
 
No i haven't it sounRAB interesting though.
I have a cEvin Key solo album somewhere though, i think it has something to do with cats

i didnt mean my other post to sound nasty sorry.
 
no one made a stew
but the necklace is true, merabers of sameal have some of it.
Immortal too I think.
only banRAB that were considered worthwhile by Euronymous
anywho the cover art is real taken when Euro found Dead, he than took fragments of his skull. Dead cut his wrist, than shotgunned himself, leaving behind a note that said Excuse the blood
