I am completely conflicted when it comes to Jay-Z and I think I know why. I really can't stand the production value of his work. I absolutely love the Grey
Album because of Danger Mouse and I have enjoyed the live mash-up he did with Linkin Park (which was my turning point for both bands, incidentally). But when I
hear his original work, I just can't get into it.
Tool's AEnima was heads and shoulders the best album of the 90s. Mellon Collie would have been #1 if they trimmed the fluff into a single disc. I used to bash the 80s and say that no good music ever came from it. But I now find myself really enjoying both the punk that came out early in the decade (DK, Black Flag, Misfits), the nu-wave pop stuff that came out after that and just pop music in general. Like I heard Huey Lewis and the News on the ride home today and I have Down Under by Men at Work as my current ringtone. I have finally come around on that stuff and now I am starting to think I was mistaken all along and it was actually the 90s that were the shithole for music. I am going to have to do more investigating. mahalo ~Chach~

Now, if you're investigating awesome 80s punk/hardcore bands, and you like the Smashing Pumkins, investigate this... it may sound familiar. But more importantly, Zen Arcade is the most stunning act of sustained musical aggression and emotional catharsis that I have ever experienced. Funny story: Zen Arcade was recorded and mixed in 85 hours. Apparently there was a fair amount of hype about this at the time, and not to be outdone, lablemates the Minutemen decided that they would record another album's worth of material to their upcoming "Double Nickles On The Dime" in the same time span, making it a double album. Apparently recording in this manner is a pretty good idea, because both albums are easily the best efforts of their respective bands, not to mention two of the best hardcore punk albums ever: As the fella says, this is Bob Dylan to me.

The 80s were the best decade for music.

In a way that gives you a "clear" POV, but it doesn't mean those bands music doesn't piss me off any less.

Best. Cover. Ever (actually, I can only think of Nico's The End as one cover who saved the original just as much as this one did). |

Nice. There are some indie rock fans on this board. Unexpected.
A few records I can't recommend highly enough: Jeff Buckley "Grace" - best singer I've ever heard in my life. I mean that. Radiohead "Ok Computer" and "In Rainbows" - I love their whole catalog but these two are my favorites, followed very closely by "The Bends" and "Kid A" Mogwai "The Hawk Is Howling" - this scottish post-rock band has been around for a while and this newest album is actually one of their best, much better than "Mr. Beast" and "Happy Music For Happy People", which I liked a lot but didn't love like "Come On Die Young" or "Young Team". Shearwater "Palo Santo" and "Rook" - these last two Shearwater records are great. Think a strange blend of Thom Yorke, Nick Drake, and early 90's subtle but noisy indie rock. Fucking amazing. Botch "We Are The Romans" - came out ten years ago and is still possibly the most impressive heavy album I've ever heard. Tons of polyrhythms, angular strange riffs, bizarre finger tapping patterns, and insanely maturely arranged songs, especially for heavy music. Awesome. Tom Waits - Everything he has ever done. Period.

Sam Cooke's Live at the Harlem Square Club beats all those albums by quite a wide margin. Not because you have bad taste in music (those are quality
albums, I love me some Waits) but Sam Cooke is the GOAT. mahalo

hahaha. I dunno. I do like me some Sam Cooke but that Jeff Buckley brings me to my knees every time. I actually had a great Sam Cooke conversation with this
super cute little black girl at a bar the other night. Apparently Sam Cooke is the best way for a shitty little indie rock kid like me to make time with a girl
not quite as pale as myself hahaha. And, yes, he is the GOAT.

BP3 is amazing. Favorite songs; Jockin Jay-Z, Empire State of Mind, So Ambitious, Already Home, Hate, and of course Run this Town and D.O.A.
