Gov't Mule - Live... With a Little help From Our Friends

Quote from: Thorazine Shuffle
Time drags by
When you're boring
Don't care what you do care what you say
There comes a time
When you got to let the monster inside you
Let him come on out, come on out and play

Madrugada- The Deep End (cool Norwegian band, you probably haven't heard of it, but it is worthy of a checking out.

Majesty (Not from that album, Madrugada material is somewhat sparse on The Tube.)
Stories From The Streets

Of course, Pink Floyd- The Wall made an impression on me, and filled quite a few hours, weeks and months of my life.


This rough, disturbing collection of tracks by tool, Undertow, has moved me in the past, and still does.

Prison Sex
It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young, vestal then, you know it hurt me.
But Im breathing so I guess Im still alive
Even the signs seemed to tell me otherwise.
Got my hands down, and my head down,
And my eyes closed, my throat wide open.
I do unto others what has been done to me.
Do unto others what has been done to you.
I'm treading water. I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Wont you, wont you come a bit closer.
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this. I cant stand to burn too long.
Release in sodomy. the one sweet moment Im whole.

I wonder how I could forget this one... One of the few I still listen to on a weekly basis.


And while we are being all smart with the lyrics:

Western Eyes
Code: [Select]
Forgotten throes of anothers life
The heart of love is their only light
Faithless greeds, consolidating
Holding down sweet charity
With western eyes and serpents breath
We lay our own conscience to rest
But I'm aching at the view
Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you
They have values of a certain taste
The innocent they can hardly wait
To crucify, invalidating
Turning to dishonesty
With western eyes and serpents breath
They lay their own conscience to rest
But then they lie and then they dare to be
Hidden heros candidly
So I'm aching at the view
Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you
(I feel so cold on hookers and gin...this mess we're in!)

Oh god yes! I love that album. The genre is not my usual taste in music, but that album is perfect. Sort of an electronic-lounge fusion.

Their lyrics really made me think about some 'problems'. Whole album's great.
 
- my 1st metal album, I really liked that one and it made me <3 Iron Maiden and then all the other bands
- I mean the song "Hallowed be thy name" - its meaning ofc
- "Wasted Years', "Sea of madness", "Heaven can wait" - the lyrics & the meaning
+ some other songs of theirs' (too many pics to post all of 'em, I guess)

- mainly "Life to Lifeless" and "Just Barely Breathing"
- "Cut-Throat", "Breed Apart", "Born Stubborn"
Whole album. (hardcore psychorap)
Whole album o' theirs'
- "Live for This"
- some songs of this Polish punk band

I guess there could be more, but I'm already bored of searching for mah "influencial" albums.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON !!

Probably the most influential album in my life.


Quote from: Slayer - Black Magic
Cursed
Black magic night
We've been struck down
Down in this Hell
Spells surround me day and night
Stricken by the force of evil light
The force of evil light

Cast
Under his spell
Blinding my eyes
Twisting my mind
Fight to resist the evil inside
Captive of a force of Satan's might
A force of Satan's might

Fighting the curse
Break it I must
Laughing in sorrow
Crying in lust

My strength slips fast
Soon I must fall
Victim of fortune
My sources grow small
Life slips away
As demons come forth
Death takes my hand
And captures my soul
Quote from: Stannum
Thou canst not kill that which doth not live,
but you can blow it into chunky kibbles!

The Shaggs philosophy of the world (1969)
note: can't believe this made it on a record, but you could view them as the godmothers of lowfi music, dissonances in pop music, the inspiration that get sonic youth to what they are now

The Shaggs were an American all-female rock group formed in Fremont, New Hampshire in 1968. The band was composed of sisters Dorothy "Dot" Wiggin (vocals/lead guitar), Betty Wiggin (vocals/rhythm guitar), Helen Wiggin (drums), and later Rachel Wiggin (bass). The Shaggs were formed in 1968 on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin, who believed that his mother foresaw the band's rise to stardom. The band's only studio album, Philosophy of the World, was released in 1969. The album failed to garner attention, though the band continued to exist as a locally popular live act. The Shaggs disbanded in 1975.

Naked City torture garden (1989)

With showing the cover of the actual "torture garden" record I would violate some forum rules, so the cover shown is of the album "Leng Tch'e (1992)".

Naked City was an avant-garde music group led by saxophonist and composer John Zorn. Active primarily in New York City from 1988 to 1993, Naked City was initiated by Zorn as a "composition workshop" [1] to test the limits of composition (and improvisation) in a traditional rock band lineup. Its music incorporated recognizable elements of jazz, grindcore, surf, classical, heavy metal, country music, punk rock and dozens of other genres.

Shellac terraform (1998)
note: this is prolly next to the Pixies the only rock band i like.
The great thing about shellac is their sound. Steve Albini, more known as a producer, has developed his own way for miking amplifiers and drums.
This is something you can hear for example on Nirvanas "In Utero", and ofcourse in the productions of his own band Shellac.


Shellac is an American rock group composed of Steve Albini (guitar and vocals), Bob Weston (bass guitar and vocals) and Todd Trainer (drums and vocals).
Although they have been classified as noise rock and math rock, they describe themselves as a "minimalist rock trio".

1.   India - (live)
2.   Up 'Gainst the Wall
3.   Impressions - (live)
4.   After the Rain

Ornette Coleman The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959)

The Shape of Jazz to Come is an influential album by Ornette Coleman. It was his debut album for Atlantic Records, who released it in late 1959.
The Shape of Jazz to Come was one of the first avant-garde jazz albums ever recorded. It was recorded in 1959 by Coleman's piano-less quartet. The album was considered shocking at the time, because it had no recognizable chord structure and included simultaneous improvisation by the performers in a much freer style than previously in jazz.

Like Bukowski set to bebop, a minstrel for our time.

Quote from: Emotional Weather Report
...colder than a ticket taker's smile
at the Ivar Theatre, on a Saturday night

Quote from: Better Off Without a Wife
I like to sleep until the crack of noon
midnight howlin' at the moon
goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
I don't have to ask permission
if I want to go out fishing
and I never have to ask for the keys

Quote from: Warm Beer and Cold Women
warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in
every joint I stumbled into tonight
that's just how it's been
all these double knit strangers with
gin and vermouth and recycled stories
in the naugahyde booths

Quote from: Spare Parts
well the dawn cracked hard just like a bull whip
cause it wasn't takin' no lip from the night before
as it shook out the street, the stew bums showed up
just like bounced checks, rubbin' their necks
and the sky turned the color of Pepto-Bismol
and the parking lots growled
and my old sports coat full of promissory notes
and a receipt from a late night motel
