Another one, listened and jammed to it many times!


Ozark Mountain Daredevils, "Quilt" Album

[Stinkbug]

that's a fucking great album, it rocks from start to finish.
you're right I bet people here don't really know this one.

plus Dave Grohl plays drums on it, making it that much better.

Yeah, Dave's drums are pretty awesome on this album. It is almost worth getting just for the drums. I get a kick out of some of the lyrics too.

Lots of good albums mentioned...many I know the band, but never listened to them. I will have to give them a try. Good thread.

Alright, I pimp this band a lot - but I'm going with Dramarama Box Office Bomb - this album is unbelievable...go check it out on iTunes. Steve and Edie, New Dream, It's Still Warm, Modesty Personified, Spare Change, etc. All great songs, I would call them the bridge between Cheap Trick and the Foo Fighters (as far as hard pop/rock, punky attitudes, and witty lyrics), except Dramarama is much better.

OK you're getting called out on that last part. my band plays Anything Anything, and that is about the most simplistic song ever written. I mean, it's great that girls love it, but great musical talent it isn't.

saying they are "better" than Cheap Trick (decades of huge hits and some involved arrangements), and Foo Fighters (12 years of rock domination and never stronger than today, with very ornate time structures and very creative melodies that never disappoint), is just lunacy dude. Dramarama is very very minor league in the talent and songwriting and musicianship areas compared to those two bands.

Testement - The New Order. Classic Thrash with awsome leads by one Alex Skolnick. If you have not heard this, give it a listen.

[yabba]

Excellent choice!! Amazing album !! Sadly, it seems to be their only album. Or are there any others?

they have a couple others, the album titles are in swedish.

edit: I dug through the cd piles, the others are 'Sorgh Pa Svarte Vingar Flogh' and 'Nier Solen Gar Niber For Evogher'

Completely different genre than my last suggestion:



Praxis - Transmutation

Featuring Buckethead, Bernie Worrel, Bootsy Collins, Brain, & Bill Laswell.

It's pretty wacky, but in a good way.

[skorb]

Deconstruction
one of the very best rock albums of all time



1993 by Eric Avery and Dave Navarro, after Jane's broke up

it's Navarro's best guitar work of his career.

it's fucking great, anything with Bootsy is worth getting

I agree, Dave's best work, very cool album

I'm going with a classic, non-metal, HUGE influence of mine..

King Crimson "Discipline", 1981.



After watching this I never played bass the same again...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZbOd...eature=related

another version.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FasOs...eature=related

Discipline is a real musical landmark. Nothing else sounds even similar to what they did. And it features some of the most unique and inventive bass and stick playing by Tony Levin who is IMO the most original sounding bassist ever. Also Bill Bruford's drumming is another thing on this album that people worship, some of the craziest off beats ever. And of course gentelmen Belew and Fripp created some ridiculously off the wall guitar textures. This is a real musicians album!

[VitaminG]

check out Jungle Funk's self-titled album. Doug Wimbish on bass, Will Calhoun on drums, Vinx on vox & keys. Drum'n'bass/jazz/funk/electronica fusion.

It gets a lot of rotation here and I never get tired of it.

[VitaminG]

also, look at Beautiful Sin - The Unexpected. It first came to my attention because Jorn Viggo Lofstad of Pagan's Mind and Jorn Lande's band was playing on it. That was before I noticed that Steinar Krokmo of Pagan's Mind & Uli Kusch of Helloween & Masterplan was also on it.

Rockin' good straight-up metal, with a female lead singer who sings METAL, not light opera (although I don't mind that combo either) or death metal/garbage disposal (ditto). Think Doro rather than Tarja or Angela.

eh, I thought I was the only one who likes Jungle Funk here
That's some seriously great stuff, I gave it to listen to some of my friends (drummers, bass players) and they all were "holy fucking shit dude!!!"

[VitaminG]

I don't actually have it here at the moment. I've just introduced my bass player to the wonder of Doug Wimbish (via some smokin' YouTube vids), and sent him home with the JF cd. Fortunately, I have it on itunes at home, & also on my phone, so I can still listen it to it at work

I thought I was the only one in the world that ever heard of this.
I have it on 7" Reel tape, I never saw the album. I got the tape
from my brother in law a long time ago, and dug it thoroughly.
Enough to put Fripp in my top twenty guitarists. What a nut!
