Vincent posted:Here are a few that I have no idea where to start, so any help would be apreciated: Miles has a whole bunch of different phases so it really depends on what you're looking for. With Fugazi I second the suggestion of starting with 13 Songs and then probably going chronologically.

I'm gonna go against the grain and not suggest starting with 13 Songs. Instead just jump in with Repeater. For The Supremes, Where Did Our Love Go has most of their best-known songs. You could also start with More Hits By The Supremes or I Hear a Symphony (which I personally think is their best album but doesn't necessarily have as many hits on it).

I'd also maybe suggest jumping up to In on the Kill Taker or Red Medicine next, just to really get a sense of how the band started to evolve. All of their albums are worth getting into eventually, though.

Uriah Heep. I like July Morning and Lady in Black, but their Spotify listings are a bit long.

Daydream Nation is their opus and one of their more accessible albums. It's probably the best one to determine if they're a band for you. Goo, Sister and Dirty are also pretty digestible and good albums (although Dirty has a big disparity between its best and worst tracks).

Daydream Nation, like others have said. There isn't a better starting point. After that if you want more experimental go backwards to Sister or Evol, if you want something more accessible jump up a decade or so to Murray Street or Sonic Nurse. I'm going to quote something I posted in here a few years ago about where to go AFTER Daydream Nation - I stand by most of it (ignore Rather Ripped for now).Voodoofly posted:I think most would say you started correctly with Daydream Nation. After that, I think there are multiple ways to go.

About Sonic Youth... It depends on what you like. Daydream Nation, while a better album, isn't everyone's cup of tea. Dirty. That's the album I'd recommend. It's the third style Sonic Youth went with in their career, this time playing rock music with pop structures. They're pretty good at it. My favorite Sonic Youth album is the Confusion Is Sex & Kill Yr Idols CD. But nobody else likes those grinding, noisy and evil sounding records.

Washing Machine and Sonic Nurse are also good, I think it's a bad idea to discourage someone who has no preconceived notions about an album Also Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star and Dirty are worth listening to

Yeah so since I first posted I listened to all of Daydream Nation a few times and it's rad and I'm gonna keep listening to Sonic Youth. My first exposure to the band was Bull in the Heather which I thought was awesome, so it's cool hearing a pretty drastically different sound from them. Basically, thanks, thread.

Been listening to a lot of Octane and Alt Nation on XM for a while and curious about picking some of the albums of some of the girl rockers they play on the two channels. What are the recommended ablums for Halestorm, Metric, and Jenny Lewis. Also while not played on them anymore, how about Garbage?

For Garbage, I'd say start at the beginning and go chronologically. Edit: They also have a best-of collection that looks like a very reasonable alternative to the individual albums. ultrafilter fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Jan 3, 2015 |

For Jenny Lewis, you might start with her record with Rilo Kiley, Execution of All Things. It's arguably more "indie rock" than her solo stuff but a nice starting point regardless. Also, if you find yourself wanting more of that early Garbage sound take a left turn and look at Curve's discography. hatelull fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jan 3, 2015 |

It's arguably more "indie rock" than her solo stuff but a nice starting point regardless. Her new solo album is fantastic though and everyone should listen to it. Agreed that Execution of all Things is the best place to start either Rilo Kiley stuff.

Where do I start with Neurosis and Dead Can Dance? And I love In Flames but really have no experience beyond them when it comes to death metal. Who else should I check out? I'm more fond of the more melodic, less growly stuff.

In Flames was playing what's often known as melodic death metal or Gothenburg metal, and it's not entirely clear that that's the same as death metal in general. The other big bands in that scene were Dark Tranquility and At the Gates, and there are a bunch of others who aren't quite as memorable.

Allen Wren posted:Darkthrone? I dunno. I can't think of much of anything that doesn't growl. That's kind of the point. Darkthone are black metal(unless you mean their first album, but I'm guessing not) and don't sound anything like In Flames so that's not a very good recommendation. MockingQuantum posted:And I love In Flames but really have no experience beyond them when it comes to death metal. Who else should I check out? I'm more fond of the more melodic, less growly stuff. Some of the earlier melodic death that borders on black metal from before the gothenburg sound was really codified might be to your liking, the vocals are still harsh but generally not as low and growly as some death metal. Like Unanimated or Gates of Ishtar.
