Music Recommendations

Recommended Posts

I've been listening to Pearl Jam a lot lately.  I've got all of their studio albums except for Riot Act and Lost Dogs.  Yield is my favorite album so far.  Here's a few notable tracks and the albums from which they come:

"Grievance" - Binaural

"Save You" - Riot Act

"Faithfull" (sic) - Yield

"Whipping" - Vitalogy

"Red Mosquito" - No Code

Also, there's a performance with Neil Young from the early nineties of "Rockin' in the Free World" floating around YouTube.

Corduroy, Light Years and Immortality are great songs too smile_o.gif

- Ben

Indeed, "Corduroy" is my favorite song from Vitalogy.   I finished my studio album collection since I posted that last message. I wish I had "Man of the Hour" on CD, but it was made for the soundtrack of "Big Fish" (perhaps released separately as a single).

Edit: Speaking of Big Fish, funny story. The part at the end where he's driving recklessly to get to the river was filmed exactly where I took my driver's license test when I was sixteen.

I was 18 when Pearl Jam released their debut album, Ten. I got hooked immediately, and was - am - a sucker for grunge music to a nearly pathologic extent (I was among the distressed teenagers in their pyjamas when KC died).

BadMotorFinger by SoundGarden still remains a major, cutting-edge album for me to this day, and so does the dark, harmonically twisted album Dirt, by Alice In Chains. I discovered both albums at the end of 1992, and still listen to them on a regular basis.

But Cameron's fantastic drumming (I remember how abashed I was at the sound of the snare drum...) got outshined in summer 1993 when I discovered Tool and Dani Carey. I saw Tool live first on September 11th, 1993 in Paris. They were playing as the opening band for Rage Against The Machine. I have never fully recovered from that encounter with Tool, and I saw them again live for the seventh time two weeks ago in Paris.

And this is what thirteen years of faithful devotion were awarded with :

Dani Carey's drum skin, signed and dated, which I managed to catch in the middle of the 5000+ crowd. And peacefully, I have to add.

I'd have lots of other stuff to recommend too (HELMET !wink_o.gif, but these bands, especially Tool and A.I.C., have been accompanying me for such a long time I feel they now are a part of me.

 I wish I had "Man of the Hour" on CD

You should get the Benaroya Hall 2CD live album.  It has Man of the Hour and a few other interesting tracks: Masters of War (Dylan) and 25 Minutes to Go (Cash).  And the Mirkenball single, I always liked the track I Got ID.  It was released at the same time as Neil Young's Mirrorball, part of the same collaboration.

As for Indian music:

Nothing wrong with Linkin Park, they make great music, and the lyrics are awsome.

Haven't listened to Limp Bizkit enough, so, can't really say anything there...

BTW; The only reason for people hating Linkin Park is that they are jealous of the bands talent...

Linkin Park is good. Limp Bizkit have some good ones, but I don't really fancy their general style...
