2004

2003

2002

I usually stay a couple years behind new music, so these are some gems I recently found. Mostly I enjoy foreign artists such as Nek (who produces albums in Italian and Spanish.)

CreepingDeth · Dec 18, 2004, 07:40 PM

Only 2:

Iced Earth, The Glorious Burden Power Metal

Megadeth, The System Has Failed Thrash Metal

Bland year. I want to see some Blind Guardian and Priest stuff next year.

Musical Tastes: Everything from Led Zeppelin to Deep Purple to Sabbath, from NWOBHM to thrash and power metal.

lavar78 · Dec 18, 2004, 07:47 PM

#1: The Finn Brothers (of Crowded House and Split Enz) - Pop/Rock, Neil Finn is the world's most underrated songwriter

#2: The Tears for Fears comeback

#3: Talib Kweli - the year's best hip-hop CD, just edging out Mos Def's "The New Danger"

mitchell_pgh · Dec 18, 2004, 08:13 PM

This is the only album you will need this holiday. It's the feel good holiday album.

storer · Dec 18, 2004, 08:15 PM

1. Rise Against - Siren Song of the Counter Culuter
2. Rock Against Bush Vol.1 and Vol.2
3. Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First

CreepingDeth · Dec 18, 2004, 08:30 PM

Hmm, a whole thread without anything good. That goes double for that post above.

nredman · Dec 18, 2004, 08:31 PM

Eminem - Encore

Chevelle - This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In

Linkin Park & Jay-Z - Collision Course

i haven't picked up many cds this year, just downloading singles mostly.

Well, outside of mine.
I had to disqualify Mutter because it was made in 2001, not 2004. So nothing I really liked. Where's cipher and swiz? They have pretty good taste.

lavar78 · Dec 18, 2004, 08:42 PM

Hey storer, I think this comment:

was referring to sex and not your taste in music. I could be wrong, but that's how I took it.

I don't think the rest of us got the memo that your opinion is supposed to matter.

Wow, there's an incredible amount of complete sh!t on here.

You ought to refine your tastes.

Seriously, though, most of these aren't very good.

It's imature to say "none of this stuff isn't any good".

It's obviously good to the people who posted it.

I wanted to write something along the lines of: respect other peoples' opinions. I figured that if we just stated our fav genre... you people would get the point. I started this thread to see what other peeps are listening to and to see if i can pick some new bands up.

Once again: it's pointless to say "none of this stuff isn't any good" because I would probably say the same exact thing to whatever you posted. So stop doing it in this thread and if you have a legitimite beef with a band, start a new thread and talk it out.

Or you can just post up your favorite 3 albums of 2004 and enlighten us.

yup, exactly.

JLFanboy · Dec 19, 2004, 02:57 AM

Hey hey. Thought I'd join in.

Here's my top 3:

Gomez - Split the Difference

Ozomatli - Street Signs

Tom Waits - Real Gone

So these albums blew me away. Also got a big kick out of Bill Shatner and Ben Folds' Has Been, CAKE's Pressure Chief, and the Future Soundtrack for America (which also included Tom Waits' Day After Tomorrow from Real Gone. Great great song.

So basically I'll listen to anything, as long as it isn't mindless Pop and Hip-Hop. Basically anything who's lyrics read like VCR instructions.

Goldfinger · Dec 19, 2004, 11:06 AM

Remixes 81-04 - Depeche Mode

Resta In Ascolto - Laura Pausini

The Beautiful Struggle - Talib Kweli

PS: As a long time fan of Rammstein I found Reise, Reise to be very disappointing.

ShortcutToMoncton · Dec 19, 2004, 12:32 PM

The Arcade Fire - Funeral

Isis - Panopticon

Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

The jury is still out on Mastadon's Leviathon...although the artwork should be here, just because of the kickass factor. Unfortunately I can't find the sleeve cover for the deluxe edition....

If you can, try to get the non-album track, "Flash Gordon." I got it from the U.S. iTMS.

skalie · Dec 19, 2004, 12:40 PM

In lieu of posting red x's:

#1 Sex and Love and Rock 'n' Roll - Social Distortion
#2 Van Lear Rose - Loretta Lynn and Michael White
#3 Sick Sober and Sorry - Various Artists

I picked up very little new music this year (I've said before that I think 2004 has been a terrible year for albums), but I am really glad I picked up Reise, Reise.

spiky_dog · Dec 20, 2004, 12:39 AM

i generally prefer classical, but i greatly enjoyed the coltrane and masada albums above. masada's live in middelheim was also good, but glenn gould deserves a place on my list even tho i didn't buy this particular album in 2004.

euchomai · Dec 20, 2004, 12:42 AM

I like screaming, yelling and also nice riffs... So, Project 86, Demon Hunter and Further Seems Forever.

The Further Seems Forever video out right now is awesome, it's a cartoon of a guys life. Very powerful stuff.
