Baley Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 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?

Darth Drabek Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 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.

Baley Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Inspectah Deck's Uncontrolled Substance and Raekwon's Only Built For Cuban Linx are also pretty damn good.

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..

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 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 ) DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Blarghagh Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) 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.

Baley Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 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.

Kor Qel Droma Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 What I liked best about Grunge was that it killed most of the hair metal bands. For a decade or so, at least.

Baley Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) 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.

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