Define Your Taste In 5 Albums

[Rocket2Russia]

Amazon.com had a thread like this today, and I was interested in seeing your answers. Do just as the title says: give five albums that define your taste in general. Not necessarily favorites or bests, but albums indicative of your taste.

Mine:

Brian Wilson - Smile [Rock]
Radiohead - The Bends [Alternative]
Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine [Electronic]
OutKast - Stankonia [Hip-Hop]
Mastodon - Leviathan [Metal]

EDIT: That list is wack.

Butthole Surfers - Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac [Alternative/Noise]
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica [Experimental]
The Doors - The Doors [Rock]
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde [Folk]
Faust - Faust [Krautrock]

[Alright_Computer]

I totally thought of the idea for this thread a while back, but I never got around to posting it. :p

I don't know what I'd put on this list yet, though I can assure you, Odelay will be on it.

[afterstasis]

no way in hell can i do only 5... i'll squeeze it into 7.

godspeed you black emperor! - slow riot for new zero kanada
catharsis - passion
xiu xiu - knife play
the chameleons - strange times
weakling - dead as dreams
the mountain goats - get lonely
carissa's wierd - songs about leaving

[Gowienczyk]

The Beach Boys - 20/20
God is an Astronaut - Far From Refuge
Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness
Hibria - The Skull Collectors
Pixies - Trompe le Monde

/shrug

[Hugoku]

Agh, don't know about five but these 2 are in that list.

The Beatles - Revolver
R.E.M. - Automatic for the People

[afterstasis]

i guess i didn't pay much attention to genre, and just went for more specific aspects of the albums... man, i took pills.

[Rocket2Russia]

I was just specifying for mine. It's no requirement. I was just using it to help me narrow it down to five.

[Runesmith]

Depeche Mode - "Some Great Reward" (Post-punk)
UnexpecT - "In A Flesh Aquarium" (???)
Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Texas Flood" (Blues)
Alanis Morissette - "Jagged Little Pill" (Pop/rock)
Daft Punk - "Discovery" (House)

Yep.

[Gowienczyk]

UnexpecT - "In A Flesh Aquarium" (???)

Progressive Metal and Avant-Metal are very common terms for 'em as much as I hate the latter term.

[Runesmith]

Progressive Metal and Avant-Metal are very common terms for 'em as much as I hate the latter term.

That's true, but I feel like UnexpecT incorporate too many different sounds to be considered progressive metal.

Can't say I am a fan of the avant-metal term, either.

[Gowienczyk]

incorporate too many different sounds to be considered progressive metal.

I don't think this is right, personally. Progressive Metal has so much broad range and progressive music in general has always been open to several ideas. I still think progressive metal works for Unexpect. Just because they don't follow Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, Fates Warning or Symphony X doesn't void them of being progressive metal.

[Daemius]

I was going to make a gag list containing Miley Cyrus, Hollywood Undead, brokeNCYDE, the Millionaires, and The Jonas Bros. but I was too lazy to look up album titles for them. Instead:

Epica - Design Your Universe (Symphonic Metal)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell (Indie)
Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster (Pop)
NIN - The Downward Spiral (Industrial)
Juli - Es Ist Juli (Neue Deutsche Welle)

[Mega-Tallica]

Fates Warning - Disconnected (Progressive Metal)
Sevendust - Animosity (Nu-Metal) <--- debatable
Machine Head - The Blackening (Groove Metal)
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I (Classic Rock)

Those are my main genres that I listen to. And all of you may know, I don't venture much from the metal/hard rock type of music, but I've been recently trying to break out of that frame of mind.

[XacharyCross]

Tough call, btu here goes.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Into The Great Wide Open (Classic rock, semi-Southern Rock)

Blind Guardian - Battalions Of Fear (Power/Speed Metal)
Death - Symbolic (Prog. Death Metal)
Anthrax - Spreading The Disease (Thrash Metal)
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone (Doom/Stoner/Sludge Metal)


Just because they don't follow Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, Fates Warning or Symphony X doesn't void them of being progressive metal.


Except that range of bands does not cover Prog. Metal Gowie (with the exception of DT) :p

[LegendofRock3021]

Beck, Bogert & Appice - Beck, Bogert & Appice
Hibria - Defying the Rules

16 Horsepower (I don't know what genre per say they'd cover (they're usually listed as alt country, but sound distinct from most other groups in that), but I'm a big fan of it)
I couldn't tell you either but they are one excellent band. I saw them open for Morphine once...epic.

As I mainly listen to various rock and metal, I figured that I'd post five of my favorite albums that belong to neither category:
Funkadelic - Let's Take it to the Stage
Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers
Lords of Acid - Our Little Secret
Tricky - Maxinquaye
16 Horsepower - Sackcloth N' Ashes

I initially had Morphine's "Yes" on the list but I suppose that is just rock with a saxophone...

Thrashmetal.

[neckermanncj]

[Runesmith]

Thrashmetal.
Deathmetal.

I don't know, man. Not a fan of thrashmetal's self-titled release.

[neckermanncj]

I don't know, man. Not a fan of thrashmetal's self-titled release.

ahahahahahahahaha

[tridentgum0]

I don't know, man. Not a fan of thrashmetal's self-titled release.

That album slays. Not a fan of their later albums though.

[seriousbusson]

thrashmetal's self-titled was cool, if only for that song that goes DO DO DO DO WE DON'T NEED NO EDUCATION

That said, my five would probably look like:

Steely Dan- Katy Lied (classic rock, jazz fusion)
Queensryche- Operation: Mindcrime (progressive metal)
Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation (classic alternative)
Cynic- Focus (technical death metal, jazz fusion)
Prince- Purple Rain (all things awesome)

[DrewLee865]

Cynic isn't death metal.

[seriousbusson]

It sure sounds like it.

[DrewLee865]

Sounds like Progressive Metal with some Jazz parts to me.

[franticfish]

Focus is death metal. Traced In Air is not.

[JukeBoxHero]

Atheist-Unquestionable Presence(death metal)
King Crimson-Red(progressive rock)
The Pixies-Doolittle(alternative rock)

I gave it a shot but with only five albums this isn't possible.

[Mystlyfe77]

This is tough. Can't decide on how specific to be or how much to focus on my range or my favorites. I listen to primarily metal, but I have a broad range of stuff that finds it way into my listening beyond just metal.

I'll give it a shot.

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger

Sergei Prokofiev - "Romeo and Juliet"

I like this guy. Though I actually like him less once I figured out his second post makes more sense when you consider it together with the first and the fact he probably doesn't know about the edit button.

[svartikins]

Let's try this:

Dream Theater :: Scenes from a Memory
Muse :: The Resistance
Jack Johnson :: In Between Dreams
Dishwalla :: Dishwalla
The Beatles :: Abbey Road

I didn't even have to think about that at all.

[Mystlyfe77]

Let's try this:

Dream Theater :: Scenes from a Memory

Pretty much the only genre I don't listen to that much is country music(even some of that I don't mind). I don't think I can narrow down my range to just 5 albums:

3 Doors Down - The Better Life
Damone - Out Here All Night
Evanescence - Fallen
Fear Factory - Archetype
Godsmack - Godsmack
Green Day - Dookie
Machine Head - Through The Ashes Of Empires
Papa Roach - Lovehatetragedy
Pearl Jam - Ten
Psychostick- We Couldn't Think Of A Title

There are dozens of other albums/artists I could list but won't. I tried to get fairly diverse with this list, but it was a lot harder then I thought. Anybody want to help me narrow it down? Is it even possible?

[cdestey]

it doesn't have to be The Queen Is Dead, and a greatest hits album should not be representative for anyone's taste IMO

Unfortunately, for most people, greatest hits albums are representative of their taste.

[Skr33]

Four Year Strong - Rise or Die Trying
The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal
The Mountain Goats - Come, Come to The Sunset Tree
Linkin Park - Meteora
Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory
Say Anything - Either ...Is A Real Boy or ...Was A Real Boy

Thats as close as I can get, it'd be easier if I could do more than 5, haha.

That list really isn't particularly diverse.. I just see a bunch of radio rock/post grunge, with a few other albums thrown in there.

[Gowienczyk]

Well with some people that IS their range.

wow, another blast from the past! MronoC!

Brain Drill-Apocalyptic Feasting


I've never understood the appeal of bands like this.. I'm all for technical/talented musicians, but that's just so over the top and unnecessary. Am I missing something?

[citizenCERO]

I've never understood the appeal of bands like this.. I'm all for technical/talented musicians, but that's just so over the top and unnecessary. Am I missing something?

Yes you are, Brain Drill is amazing.

Although, this kid's list is mostly tech death/grindcore and he doesn't even have the good Necrophagist album on it.

[DrewLee865]

Onset of Putrefaction is good and Epitaph sucks.

[citizenCERO]

Onset is amazing, Epitaph is a huge step down.

[DrewLee865]

Onset is one of my favorite tech death albums. Probably my favorite post-1996 tech death album.

[SenseiLeRoof]

You do realize it was just a sampling, right? Like I said, even ten albums isn't enough to encompass my tastes on the whole.

That being said, TB2 is better. There's more expressiveness overall, "Altered State" has actual interplay which makes it more interesting and fun than its TB1 equivalent, and that moment when I found out the announcements in "The Bell" were done by none other than Alan Rickman...
