GZA - Living In The World Today

 

Heads roll on hillsides behind ropes that

bind-in, X marks the spot on the scope

Heavily armed military is necessary, it's a gamble

MC's bet they best at every

Powerful parable ditties might harm

if tampered with, set off and strike like pipe bombs

Flashbacks to the Duel of the Iron Mic

Look out for these fatal flying spikes, of massive

sleep-holds, put strangle on commercial angle

Microphone cords tangled from being Star Spangled

Now who could ever say they heard of this?

GZA's Liquid Swords is a sweet rap album. Many people "in the know" consider it the finest solo effort by a Wu Tang member. I wouldn't consider myself "in the know" on this particular subject, but I do think Liquid Swords is pretty hot stuff.

Inspectah Deck's Uncontrolled Substance and Raekwon's Only Built For Cuban Linx are also pretty damn good.

 

And who can hate the Ol' Dirty Bastard?

I heartliy agree! Its rare for a rapper to make a solid album... the formula being 3 songs suitable for MTV and the rest being filler with a chance for one or two good tracks to appear..

Breaking Benjamin - I Wish I May

I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows

 

'Cause I won't know the man that kills me

and I don't know these men I kill

but we all wind up on the same side

'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will.

Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) - La Luna Nouva

 

 

A lot of their songs are way too gay and ballad-like for prog rock but this one just makes me all happy inside :o)

Alice In Chains - Rooster

 

Got that in my playlist; Dirt was a great album.

 

I consider Dirt to be the best album that came out of the Seattle Grunge scene. But hey, what do I know? I still like Pearl Jam and they OMGZ DINGOING SOLD OUT.

You know, even though they're a mind-bendingly mediocre band, well the only *good* grunge bands were Tad and Mudhoney, Pearl Jam have always been pretty far from selling out in any conventional sense.

 

Listening to Pearl Jam now, it occurs to me that the closest they ever got to a great album was Vs.

 

And the Do the Evolution video is fantastic and easily justifies their entire existence as a band.

 

 

The Jesus Lizard - Rodeo In Joliet

What I liked best about Grunge was that it killed most of the hair metal bands. For a decade or so, at least.

Yeah but it (involuntarily) spawned post-grunge, I mean bands like:

 

Creed

Silverchair

Goo Goo Dolls

Godsmack

Matchbox Twenty

Nickelback

Alter Bridge

 

 

Honestly, it's angst-ridden rubbish, at least hair metal was fun.

Yeah, the 'selling out' thing was sarcasm. I don't see how they sold out either.

 

Vs. is definately my favourite.

 

I grew up as an accidental grunge child, but the only grunge that ever really came to Holland were the big four (only three of whom I like, Nirvana pretty much sucks). When I really got into music and wanted to look into more grunge it was too late. Mudhoney, Green River, Mother Love Bone. Their music is entirely impossible to find here.

 

Finntroll - Trollhammaren (god, Finntroll is hilarous)

 

EDIT: Also, Alter Bridge isn't that bad, in my opinion. It strikes me that Scott Stapp was most of the reason as to why Creed was so damned horrible. With Alter Bridge they're exploring a more 'metal' side, stopped downtuning their guitars, and actually made some slightly uplifting songs (One Day Remains doesn't strike me as particularely angsty).

Filthy Thievin' Bastards - Hopeless Vows

 

To this day, I get the Goo Goo Dolls and the Gin Blossoms confused. I just can't differentiate between them.
