Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
Funny how we can look over each thread and say, ya thats a good one or darn should of added that album, it's goes to show ya good music is good music, my kids about 7 - 8 years ago were just rap if it didnt rap they didnt like it, so I started playing them all diffrent types, I'm a big Bob Marley fan, Buffett, Journey, blackfoot, Sabbath, Ozzy, Hatchet, Don williams, George Striat, AC / DC....Well now my daughter a junoir in high school loves Bob Marley, they have taken all my Journey albums, my George strait out of the box is missing, My son came over and asked if he could borrow my AC DC back in black and my Waylon Jennings greatest hits in the same breath, AC DC & Waylon, who would have thought, My oldest has wore out my Asia cd and my Alice Cooper, just goes to show ya Good Music is good music, no matter what they call it.

Well first and foremost....Thank You ...it is an Honor.....
The funny thing is I can barely read G Clef because I spent YEARS reading F....Even when taking piano lessons it didn't come naturally to me because that isn't G.....It's B flat.....LMAO.
F Clef.....No problem...I can read it without issue...G Clef.....let me see....G...A...B...C...oh...it's D....LOL
I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken...
What's the use of wearing your lucky rocketship underpants if nobody wants to see them????
Several albums stick out for me. I have recently reacquainted myself with Blackfoot and how great they sounded when Rickey Medlocke was fronting the band. Their "Strikes" album is a classic as well as their very first effort called "Flyin' High." Their "Siogo" and "Vertical Smiles" efforts include former Uriah Heep's keyboard player Ken Hensley and it still sounds good even though it kind of takes on the dreaded '80's sound. I recently picked up a copy from eBay called "Medicine Man" which was released in 1990. It cost me a pretty penny but it was worth it. Medlocke has a different band with him on this one but it rocks out just as hard as his other albums do. Today's version of Blackfoot is a joke. I can't even call them a cover band they are so bad. Clearly Rickey Medlocke was the balls, heart and soul behind Blackfoot. Too bad he's hiding behind today's version of Lynyrd Skynyrd right now. Hopefully he'll break away from them and tour on his own someday.
Also, a musician "under the radar" deserves more recognition than he's getting. His name is Sonny Landreth and he can flat out play guitar. While everyone and their mother sings the praises of Eric Clapton, this guy is virtually ignored, thanks to corporate radio. Sonny's greatest efforts are "Grant Street", "The Road We're On", and "From the Reach."
Just my opinion.

Some sort of jazzy metal. The band is awesome, one of the best releases in the past 10 years IMO.
Sounds like: Planet X's Moonbabies mixed with Atheist's Unquestionable Presence, ... I guess... Kinda hard to describe.
I saw Cynic when they opened for Dragonforce. I can't say I was all that impressed with them. I think they were just the wrong band on the ticket, also in the wrong spot. Daath opened, which is fast paced thrash type metal. Then came Cynic, which was considerably slower, not nearly as high engery. Then Dragonforce, which was definitely high energy.
They could be one of those bands who just sound better in the studio. JMO on them.
For my recommendations...
Anything by Clutch... seriously. Just good, straight up rock.
Clutch The Elephant Riders Pure Rock Fury Jam Room Blast Tyrant Robot Hive Exodus From Beale Street to Oblivion Strange Cousins From the West - I actually haven't listened to this yet, it just came out Tuesday, but I'm recommending it anyway, because Clutch has never released a bad CD.
For those more metal inclined...
Winds of Plague - Decimate the Weak (My new favorite band at the moment)
Good ol' Viking/Heroic themed stuff...
Wintersun - Wintersun Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side Ensiferum - Ensiferum, Iron, Victory Songs
Feeling down? Want some Doom and Gloom?
Swallow The Sun - Hope, Plague of Butterflies (Actually a 35 minute song, but awesome) Cult of Luna - Salvation (These guys are very similar to Isis, IMO.)
Since everyone is naming more then one here is my top 3 in no order.
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Every music fan has got to have this recording in their collection. This was Dylan at his peak and though I like every thing he's done this one here is his best.
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
A beautiful album that is always overlooked when talking Floyd. IMO the best album of all time. Roger Waters takes you through his life after losing his Father in the war and the pain its caused. Simply amazing!
Counting Crows - Live Across a Wire.
Adam Duritz can improvise lyrics like no other and this live album makes their songs turn into true heartfelt stories. One of the most under appreciated bands of all time made this live album a masterpiece.

Just my opinion.
As you appear to be into unknown guitarists, get to Erie someday to see Jake Banta of "Jake's Blues." Former U.S. Navy Seal, best ever 'lefty' since Hendrix.

Blood on the Tracks.......Extremely great album!
This thread could go on forever and ever! Music is that good and so many opinions!

He sounds really good. I just checked out his website and sampled some of his music. I am only about an hour away from Erie so I just might check out one of his shows. Thanks for the recommendation.
"My opinions and feelings are mine and shall not be influenced by anyone....especially liberals."
Though as I have gotten older my rock tastes have softened a little Static-X's Machine album will always be my favorite. Many people who know Static X say that Wisconsin Death Trip was their best album,and it was a good one. I preferred Machine for the insane energy it brought to a live show.
"Bien Venidos" – 0:21 "Get to the Gone" – 2:49 "Permanence" – 4:01 "Black and White" – 3:50 "This Is Not" – 2:57 "Otsego Undead" – 3:29 "Cold" – 3:40 "Structural Defect" – 3:39 "...In a Bag" – 4:21 "Burn to Burn" – 4:17 "Machine" – 3:27 "A Dios Alma Perdida" – 5:58 Bonus Tracks:
"Anything but This" - 4:03 (Japanese edition only) "Sweat of the Bud" (Live) - 3:24 (Japanese edition only)
You may be in the drivers seat but God is holding the map. #GMSTRONG
If the Big O hadn't passed on in his prime, I can't even imagine what a second album (yes I know they made another but it was of less quality than the first) with him would have sounded like. Let alone if they'd been able to tour. The story of how the band came together always fascinated me as well.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
Great pick, a truely under appreciated album.........."Thru the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes...." One of my favorite lines in any song.
My album pick would be "Live at the Fillmore East"...the Allman Brothers.
One of my favorite songs of all time:
Two Suns in the Sunset
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down Sinking behind bridges in the road And I think of all the good things That we have left undone And I suffer premonitions Confirm suspicions Of the holocaust to come.
The wire that holds the cork That keeps the anger in Gives way And suddenly it's day again. The sun is in the east Even though the day is done. Two suns in the sunset Hmmmmmmmmmm Could be the human race is run.
Like the moment when the brakes lock And you slide towards the big truck "Oh no!" "[scream] Daddy, Daddy!" You stretch the frozen moments with your fear. And you'll never hear their voices And you'll never see their faces You have no recourse to the law anymore.
And as the windshield melts My tears evaporate Leaving only charcoal to defend. Finally I understand the feelings of the few. Ashes and diamonds Foe and friend We were all equal in the end.
WOW! You just shocked the heck out of me! Pyromania?....Much better imo.
Depending on the particular mood I'm in, I can lean either way. Actually, I'm in more of a Pyromania mood right now, currently listening to some Rock! Rock! Till You Drop (which they opened up the concert with a few weeks ago).
Some sort of jazzy metal. The band is awesome, one of the best releases in the past 10 years IMO.
Sounds like: Planet X's Moonbabies mixed with Atheist's Unquestionable Presence, ... I guess... Kinda hard to describe.

Daath opened, which is fast paced thrash type metal. Then came Cynic, which was considerably slower, not nearly as high engery. Then Dragonforce, which was definitely high energy.
They could be one of those bands who just sound better in the studio. JMO on them.
Maybe you just weren't in the right frame of mind to get into them. I mean Dragonforce is pretty much straight to the point and not really thought provoking music.
They're most definately a band that you want to sit down and listen to on first listen. Opeth is sort of the same way.
A couple more recommendations
3-Wake Pig 3-The End Has Begun Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 Blackalicious- Blazing Arrow
Quote: Love the Wilburys! I'm a huge Dylan and Petty fan so I played the two CDs like crazy.
As do I. Some of the very best music out there. IMO there was really not much of a dropoff on their second effort after Roy Orbison sadly passed away. If they only toured...instant sellouts everywhere! Just like the Beatles, there will never be another supergroup like the Traveling Wilburys.

Yeah, that has crossed my mind, given the band that preceded them and came after them, they just didn't seem like the right band to put on the bill, or at least in their slot. Perhaps if they had gone first, I may have received their music a little better.
Also... Deltron is awesome. Check out Aesop Rock's None Shall Pass.
I'd suggest 'Trilogy,' instead... but each to his own,....
Yes sir.......to each to his own!
The Tarkus album is always one of my favorites......I can not explain the comparisons....it is night and day! I had the chance to see E,L,& P at Hara Arena in Dayton in 1973.......that was a hell of a show!
WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS!
Quote: I had the chance to see E,L,& P at Hara Arena in Dayton in 1973.......that was a hell of a show!
Dude- I was at that show, too!
First rock concert I ever attended... and it WAS a helluva show. I was about 50 feet from the stage, dead-center. Carl Palmer's drum solo in the middle is still a vivd memory. When his platform started rotating, and he started banging on those gongs, I thought my head would explode. Then, when those pinpoint strobes lit up the dragon graphics on them, and those dragons started moving around... I thought I'd need hospitalization!
(Keith didn't really need to abuse that poor defenseless Hammond B3 like he did, tho... leave the sucka upright, and leave the knives at home, please... )
It was a great evening, for sure...one I'll NEVER forget.

Carl Palmer remains my favorite drummer of all time. Great performer.
In case you didn't know, Keith Emerson's old Hammond B3 is on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the knives he used to abuse it with.
"My opinions and feelings are mine and shall not be influenced by anyone....especially liberals."
Carl Palmer is indeed one of the best; who would you say IS ? Staying in my familiar realm of rock, my vote is Neil Peart. He just does stuff that I cannot copy -- so does Palmer ("Lucky Man")
