Okay, this thread is here for all of you to announce the C>D's that you have bought that you suggest others to go out and pick up. Kepp it relatively new, within a year at most.

Pick #1: To the 5 Boroughs, Beastie Boys
This is rap at its peak. Although it no Paul's Boutique, its the best rap album to come out in five years. Not for hardcore republican's.

Pick #2: Where You Want To Be, Taking Back Sunday
This is one of the two emo band's I will listen to. They show they're real musicians on New American Classic's, and are just generally better. Especially live.

Pick #3: In keeping the secrets of silent earth: 3, Coheed and Cambria
This is one fucked up album. Packed with the proverbial "screamo", it hit's a lot darker than a lot of other emo music. It also has a secret song, which is emo's awnser to Bohemian Raphsody

Pick #4: Contraband, Velvet Revolver
Pick this album up if you can. Not much to say, nothing revolutionary, no song is incredible or innovative, but it is one damn good c.d.

Whoa. People still buy music?

I'm an Eminem fan myself, though I haven't purchased a single CD of his yet. The last two CD's I picked up was Evanescence's FALLEN and Christina Aguilera's self named title.

And before anyone makes a fag comment toward me, I'd just like to say that I enjoy vocal range in my music. Christina Aguilera and Amy from Evanescence have unbelievable range, and whether or not you like their music, there's no disputing that those two girls can sing like their very souls are being called upon.

I tend to like all types of music. I like instramental a lot, as well as rap, rock, pop, R&B, some country, jazz, all sorts. But I don't get into music in quite the way I do movies, writing or games, so 90% of all the music I hear comes from popular radio stations, which tend to be all new, pop culture inspired stuff.

We are all products of our environment. It's useless to fight that simple truth. I'm not one to stick up for the artistic quality of singers in this day in age, and I often make the distinction between entertainer and artist. Most of what I listen to is entertaining, not art.

Fag!

*points at a bundle of sticks* Anyhow, Evanescence is sort of dark and depressing, so I haven't listened to it lately. As for picks #3 and #4, I concur completely and whole heartedly on the amount of melodic pwnage contained on the plastic pieces. Note to self: Discover what Bohemian Rhapsody is.

.........wow.

Bohemian Raphsody is one of the greatest, if wierdiest, songs ever made. Alhough I'm no longer sure, I do believe it was Queen who sung it.

Correct me if im wrong. Continue with your c.d. picks if you would.

Dieselboy - Dungeon Masters Guide

....is the only CD I've *purchased* in a long time, but...it goes to good peoples so...

And, love the Beasies...but Im not buying "enhanced CD's" .  In FACT...nothing could push me farther away from any sympathy for the  *censored*-IAA than crap like that.  Not that I really had any for them in the first place, but....

Now...of late I've been listening to that Dieselboy and the following CD's:
DJ Bagel - Survival Tactics
Kindred Spirits: A tribute to the Music of Johnny Cash (Mix of Country and Blues artists...some decent covers/tributes.)
Susan Tedeschi - Just Won't Burn

Dieselboy/Bagel - DnB fo you boo-tay,  Susan Tedeschi...blues for your soul...and...well...Johnny Cash.  If you don't know, you need to.  

And...yes, Queen sings Bohemian Rhapsody.  

I had that on vinyl. Back in the day.

Tyshalle if you're looking for vocal range then Bruce Dickenson from iron maiden is your man, or if you want to stretch that to the point of insanity then there's Justin from the Darkness, yay

[Anonymous]

Muse - Absoloution
Snow Patrol - Final Straw
Him - And love said no....
Jamie Cullum - Twenty somthing
Sean paul - (not sure of the album name)

Those would be the top 5 of the last year or so I reccomend for this point in time.  It increasingly changes as I listen to different music.

[Anonymous]

Justin Hawkins rocks.

[Anonymous]

I was going to say before I saw Erebus' post, listen to some Iron Maiden with Bruce Dickenson as their vocalist.  As for Velvet Revolver they are awesome and I am going to see them live in a month, should be sweet.  Other bands I recommend:

Metallica (pure genius)
Jimi Hendrix (legend)
Deep Purple
Black Sabbath
Anthrax
Led Zepplin
Pearl Jam
Thin Lizzy
Queen
Creed
AC/DC
... pretty much anything actually.. Elliott Smith is good
NOFX are cool

well .... being as i just got back from a gig playing French horn for the musical "once upon a mattress" ... that's insane music. insanely CHEESY (hehe ), but hard to play. i, for one, have always cast my vote on instrumental sountracks mainly because they have good horn parts or else musicals. those are the only ones i buy. if it's an artist, i just cheat and DL it ... **oops** ... and when the music is DLed ... it's nothing but completely random choices ... got some eminem ... christina .... nirvana .... christmas music that i listen to in the middle of july ... eric clapton (he's just random all by hisself) ... michael crawford ... got some led and pink floyd ... yay for AC/DC (we actually did a marching band show to AC/DC and other rock bands ... it was on the verge of "those songs should not be redone for a MARCHING BAND" ... but somehow it worked ... with a 250+ piece marching band it's hard to go wrong hehe) ....

ANYCRAPPE!! top cds to buy .... lotr soundtracks .... all three .... GOOD STUFF .... pirates of the caribbean soundtrack is awesome, too ... i'll shut up now ...
