Undertow and Lateralus are def. the best albums from Tool.

[CoolCorky]

My personal favourite is AEnima but Lateralus is the best introductory album

Fripp actually smiling for once? He usually looks so serious in his pictures and when he's playing.

I remember being linked to one of his photoblogs or something, and he has lots of pet bunny rabbits. :3:

[Biotoxsin]

Would Between the Buried and Me be considered progressive metal? I think so, as does Wikipedia. Worth mentioning if any of you aren't familiar with them. Pretty great variety in their music. Bit strange at times

"Fossil Genera – A Feed from Cloud Mountain"
Part 1

Part 2

I haven't listened a lot to them yet, but Colors is amazing.

Already listen and like Dream theater and Mastodon. Gave Opeth a listen to but couldn't get into them. I will give the rest of them a listen to. Also, I can't stand tool.

Change your mode to enjoy it more.

Find it. :smug:

That's pretty impressive. Yes should be fun, they don't have many "bad" albums.

By the way, I just oredered this :smug::



I've only heard one track from the album, so I hope I won't be dissapointed (not likely).
I love innovative and "extreme" stuff like this. I appreciate the fact that people are willing to take risks to carry their genre forward.

Hope so. Any other great obscure albums I should hear? I figure you would be the right person to ask .

Oh, and what are Zappas best albums?

[CoolCorky]

Joe's Garage is good if you enjoy heartwarming tales of people fucking washing machines and being raped by convicted music industry executives.

Try a few Soft Machine albums, "Third" is a good place to start. Also the band "Anglagard".

The second point is difficult to answer... in fact I'm not even going to bother.

I'll never decide a favourite but his most confusing work is Lumpy Gravy. His most legendary would be "Hot Rats", "We're Only In It For The Money" and "Freak Out!"

[CoolCorky]

Also there's that live album I mentioned a few pages back

Cool.
It's gonna take a while for me to get through his stuff. He's a musical genius, no doubt.

I've listened to a bit of Third, but it was just too obscure even for me . I remember the first track having like 5 minutes of these wierd sounds. I've also listened to Hybris by Änglagård, but because I'm Finnish, the Swedish vocals make my ears bleed diarrhea. It's a shame really, since I loved the instrumental.

When I think about it, I can't really stand any vocals that aren't in English, which is pretty dumb since there is probaby a lot of great stuff that isn't in English. Maybe I should try to listen to some non-English stuff to try to get over it.

[AK'z]

PFM is all I can say there. But even they did some English stuff. :smith:

Atoll and Magma are also good.

[Tabarnaco]

Harmonium - Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison
Itoiz - Itoiz
Änglagård - Epilog (it's all instrumental)

The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life, Apostrophe, Hot Rats, Bongo Fury, The Grand Wazoo, We're Only In It For The Money, Freak Out! and One Size Fits All.

[AK'z]

Lump Gravy is trippy.

Probably end up being my favourite of his.

[CoolCorky]

oh hey don't mind us we're just Rush acting like teenagers at the park



also I bought Moving Pictures, Roll The Bones, Test For Echo and Vapor Trails today, for £22.50 total

[Dopey Trout]

The thought that they hang out together and look like they enjoy eachother's company after being in a band together for about 40 years makes me all fuzzy :3:
