Metal Loaf posted:Can anybody recommend me any live albums from the 1970s? I have a good few of the obvious culprits (Live At Leeds, Double Live Gonzo!, Frampton Comes Alive!, Live Killers, Made In Japan, You Get What You Play For, Captured and so on) but I'm interested in more obscure examples.

This is broad and maybe fits better in the recommendations thread, but where do I start with electric blues? I like lots of bands/artists like the Black Keys, White Stripes, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, etc. that are heavily influenced by and frequently cover the blues. But I don't have any actual blues musicians (unless you count SRV). What are some essential artists/albums that I should check out? I know the three Kings are all important. Don't care if it's classic or contemporary. The more soloing the better. Studio albums preferred over compilations or live recordings.

Thanks. I love Moore's work in Thin Lizzy and I've heard good things about Joe Bonamassa. Also I forgot to mention Rory Gallagher in my original post in case anyone was going to recommend him.

When I think "funk metal" (which is a term that very rarely applies to actual metal at all) I think Primus, Faith No More and Infectious Grooves. None of them really have a lot of shredding. It's a style that's more conducive to good bass players than great guitar.

Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory are good starting points and should have a lot of familiar tunes.

Blues For the Red Sun is the best combination of quality, accessibility and diversity for Kyuss. After that get Welcome to Sky Valley. If you like them a lot the other two aren't bad.

Pixies - Surfer Rosa and Nirvana - In Utero are big ones. Big Black is the only band of his that I've listened to but Atomizer is a pretty solid album. It's hard to find starting points for a producer so here's some other stuff of his that I like: The Jesus Lizard - Goat; Liar Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O. Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory If you like metal at all, I recommend all of the Neurosis albums he's produced and High On Fire - Blessed Black Wings.

Well they only have two full-lengths, of which I think Perch Patchwork is slightly better. If you saw them years ago you might be better off with one of their EPs, when they were less poppy. Someone else can probably answer which of those is worth starting with.

MmmDonuts posted:Thanks for the R.E.M. and Pixies recommendations. Paul's Boutique for the former, really depends on what you're looking for with the latter. Most people will tell you In the Court of the Crimson King, but I find that album highly overrated outside of 21st Century Schizoid Man. Red is great if you want pretty heavy prog. Larks' Tongues in Aspic is more experimental. Discipline has an almost New Wave vibe. All three are really good.

Strangers in the Night contains his absolute best guitar playing, but for studio work you can do worse than just going chronologically from Phenomenon, which is when he joined.

Mellon Collie is worth diving into even if you don't like the singles just because it's a huge and varied album. I do like Siamese Dream better but it's really solid.

Honestly, even if you don't like their softer stuff, Watershed is worth a listen if only for Heir Apparent and The Lotus Eater.

I rarely recommend live albums, but Strangers in the Night gives a good overview of their peak and has some amazing guitar playing. But really, you can't go wrong with any of their Schenker-era albums. I personally like Force It the most.

I'm not a fogey at all and I like PHM. But The Downward Spiral is the definite way to go. Although, if you mostly know his soundtracks (I know nothing about How to Destroy Angels), you might want to look into his more recent discography too.

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).

Allen Wren posted:Really? I thought black metal was all high-pitched scratchy vocals, basically the stuff that makes me hate music. Dimmu Borgir and all that. Usually, but vocals are like the last thing that you should be defining music genres by. Their are shrieky death metal vocalists and growly (or at least mid-range) black metal vocalists.

Most people would probably say either Like Water For Chocolate or Resurrection for Common, but I think Be is his only really great album, in large part because of Kanye's production.

dooinit posted:Neil Young. I listened to some of Le Noise because of the way everyone seems to link him to bands like Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr., and I liked what I heard, but I also know that he's all over the place soundwise. What are the key points in his discography? Everybody Knows This is Nowhere is the best mostly rocking album. After the Gold Rush is the best mostly soft album.
