Every track is great, wouldn't dream of skipping anything on it.Bossanova seems like an odd choice for the Pixies. I like it plenty, but Doolittle seems like the obvious choice from their discography. I'll probably revisit Bossanova today now, just to check I've not just been sleeping on it as it probably gets the least rotation from me out of all their stuff.

Personally I love all Pantera, going back to their indies they released when I saw them as a bar/cover band in the mid 80s. Of course "13 Steps to Nowhere" and "Drag the Waters" do kick ass!!!

Of course "13 Steps to Nowhere" and "Drag the Waters" do kick ass!!!Haha I thought I might see this...and to explain it all i can say is Trendkill was the metal album that got me into metal....kind of nostalgic I guess but man the first time I heard War Nerve followed by Drag the Waters I was hooked, haha. I got into the rest of their stuff later on. Also on a aside if I got 6 albums i would definitely take Liquid Tension Experiment discs 1 and 2. If you don't know who this is find there music online and thank me later.

alan713ch Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 OK here are mine. They are going to be all over the place, literally, and honestly five is too little, but let's see what happens.In no particular order:Dyonisos - La Mecanique de CoeurDyonisos is a french band that has been around since the late eighties, and I think their music just keeps getting better and better. La Mecanique de Coeur is not an album: it's a story about a boy who was born with no heart, and had to be substituted by a mechanic clock. Using several songs in english and french we find out what happens to that little boy when he grows up, and when he falls in love, particularly because the clock cannot take such strains. Mostly rock, but has some interesting rap thrown in there.*Olivia Ruiz - Le Chocolat ShowAnother french artist, in this case a former winner of the french American Idol. And boy you can tell the difference between American Idol and its french counterpart. Already she has been called the new Edith Piaf. This album is a live recording of her show in Paris, in which the arrangement of the songs was to follow a circus act (appropiate since the arena whe this was presented was formerly a circus). Arranged in the classic structure of the three act spectacle, it's something beautiful to listen (and if you see some of the videos in youtube, the show was pretty good too!)Shakira - MTV UnpluggedHer last album before she started writing in english, this is a Shakira that is closer to her rock origins, and where experimenting means fusoning latin american sounds with a rough voice and a rock background. To me this was the apex of her career, and I long to see her do an album that does justice to rock again. Particularly interesting "Ciega, Sordomuda" because the original song was rock/pop, and here she transformed it into a raspy and poignant mariachi song.*Various artists - BimexicanoI'm a sucker for three kind of albums: those that tell a story, unplugged and live shows, and cover albums. In this case, this album was a project comissioned to celebrate the 200 years of Mexico's Independence, and they gathered some of the biggest names in Mexico's indie pop and rock to do so. A beautiful and interesting way to learn about mexican cultural music but listening to rock instead.*Evanescence - FallenProbably the weakest of my list, but I cannot not include it. This is my default go-to album when I'm depressed, down or frustrated. Nobody can deny that Amy Lee's voice is gorgeous and sometimes you need something emo in order to realize WTF? I ain't that bad!So many albums and artists I didn't mention! German bands (Sportfreunde Stiller's MTV Unplugged in New York; Wir Sind Helden's Die Reklamation), English (Muse, The Beatles), American, South American... oh boy, I can spend lots and lots of time talking music!

CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 OK, I have finally made my decisions.1. Johnny Cash: Love, God, and Murder. I know it is a boxed set, but the songs were hand picked by Johnny for this three disc set.2. Mark Lanegan: Field Songs. This was a tough choice between this one and Bubblegum.3. Social Distortion: Social Distortion. "Ball and Chain", "Story of my Life", "Sick Boy", and a kick assed cover of "Ring of Fire". What's not to love.4. The Pogues: Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash. Side one is a perfect album side (I'm old, I first heard this on vinyl).5. Tom Waits: Frank's Wild Years. It can be argued that there are better Tom Waits albums, but this was the first one I heard of his, so it holds a special place in my heart. Link to comment

Arbite Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hard pressed, considering my taste changes pretty often. But I guess it would look something like this, in no particular order.Lights and Wires - Black Sun EmpireDark Side of the Moon - Pink FloydShoulders and Giants - Collapse Under the EmpireHomework - Daft PunkSeldom seen Kid - ElbowRunners up would be Netsky's '2', 10000 Days by Tool and Vicious Delicious by Infected Mushroom. Oh, and 'The Amazing Adventures of One Curious Pixel' by Bop. Link to comment
