For more traditional jazz/fusion, check out Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Kenny Burrell, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, and Al Di Meola. Oh yeah, and there's John Scofield, and, of course, Django.

Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy
Wes Montgomery - The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery
Joe Pass - Joy Spring
Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame (this one has John McLaughlin on guitar)
Pat Metheny Group - self-titled
John Scofield - Hand Jive
Django Reinhadrt - Djangology

I have WAY more experience in the world of jazz piano both in playing and in listening, but this is definitely a good starting point for guitarists. Let me know if you want some deeper cuts later on.

ballads and rootless compositions.

I believe I've actually heard Al Di Meola, so I guess I'll start with him.

Wrong answer.

Correct answer: Django

also, throw in Miles Davis's A Tribute to Jack Johnson, it has John McLaughlin on guitar

okay heres the deal, I was looking through my iPod only to find that the measly 7,000 songs is no where close to where I want it to be, so my simple request is just one list with essential albums, albums that are under appreciated, and albums that are just damn good.


I need new stuff to listen to any genre, any artist, please?

Okay, here's some Danish music, I hope you'll enjoy at least some of it :)

Kashmir - The Good Life
Nephew - USADSB
Dizzy Mizz Lizzy - Dizzy Mizz Lizzy
Veto - Crushing Digits
Tina Dickow - Count to Ten
Oh No Ono - Yes
Mew - Frengers

These are all pretty big bands... Couldn't think of anything else at the moment, but these albums are all great.

Lightning Bolt-Ride the Skies -(awesome noise band!)

Zolof the rock & roll destroyer-Jalopy Go far (awesome female power fronted power pop band)

Prong-Cleansing (Metally, I don't know why I like this album but it's neat!)

Authority Zero-A passage in time (an excellent skate punk album)

Passafire-Submersible (awesome modern reggae)


:o I could go on...

Why yes, good sir.

(I smile anytime nu-metal gets brought up on these forums. Doesn't happen enough.)

The ones that will get you the least **** from others (and that are just good) are:

Deftones - White Pony or Around The Fur
Spineshank - Height Of Callousness
Skindred - Babylon
Sevendust - Home or Seasons
Mushroomhead - XIII or XX
Mudvayne - L.D. 50
Cold - 13 Ways To Bleed On Stage

I'll go with Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons in the Abyss. I've heard that late 80s, early 90s Slayer is when they were at their peak.

Bub, you are unpredictable

Replace Reign in Blood (which I do enjoy) with Show No Mercy, and you've made the right choice.

First 2 Slayer albums are their best.
