Played the hell out of it for two years. Love every song.

Isn't that Obama??

I regard it to be the greatest album ever recorded. It has been remixed, re-released, remastered and alternately chopped in so many ways that it's fun to mix-and-match your own version.

I have to label my vinyl copies based on their label numbers to keep them all straight. I have every official remix and every official alternate version known under the sun. I get giddy when I think about listening to it.

Obviously I know this mainly from the game itself, but I have been listening to the actual album for around three months on and off and I absolutely love it. Nicely ordered and I vividly picture every scene of the game based on the sound/song played. Also, the quality is superior, which is a huge plus.

I just want you to know, that while I am laughing at you for this, I think you rule at the same time. The world needs more people who are willing to listen to a video game soundtrack and not give a ****.

I originally bought The Joshua Tree on tape, wore it out and eventually got it on CD.

Even after listening to this album a ridiculous amount of times, I still find it very powerful and emotive.

Another worn out tape. Although I consider Master Of Puppets to be their finest hour, it was this album that really got me into Metallica.

My biggest problem with And Justice For All is how damn long it is. If they cut out some of the fluff, it would probably be my favorite Metallica album.

And the Joshua Tree is a good choice as well.

I've seen many post that they love and know Primal Scream's XTMRNTR and Screamadelica but what about Vanishing Point? No love for that one?

When I was in 7th grade I ordered the Legend of Zelda CD from Nintendo Power magazine. I listened to the **** out of it. It didn't have the artwork that Goofle's does, though... But yeah, love it. And we talk about video game music off and on, but I am not embarrassed in the least by game music. Its great. It didn't cross my mind to laugh at him because I was too busy thinking "ahh me too" lol.

Funny story, we had a pizza party in 8th grade for doing something great or some reason. A few of us kids bring in music. I brought my Zelda CD, most all the other cds were whatever lame ass rap was mainstream between 96-99. Anyway, the teacher gets up and turns the cd player off and goes on a rant about how music without THE WORDS was just as bad, blah blah. And I'm kinda butthurt like "huh?" but I guess he was referring to the rap music they had where they had censored versions so as to not get in trouble, but he was still upset that there were words that needed to be censored on the discs. But I thought he was mad about my Zelda music for a while haha.

There are some chords in that song that are still challenging even today, so of course at the time I didn't get very far with the song. It was a bit discouraging...I gave up on that for a while and moved on to Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Personally, my go to warm up song is Rush's The Trees.

Nice, I'm kind of the flipside of that guitar deal. Started with the Chili Peppers then moved onto the Pumpkins (still have the Mellon Collie tab book somewhere). Also learned the bulk of Siamese Dream back in the day too, the Quiet riff is all kinds of fun to play, could never quite get the solo for Soma though

As for Under the Bridge the only tricky chord that comes to mind is the very first one (and the few times it repeats during the intro) where you have to play a C shape with your middle, ring, and little finger while barring the 2nd fret. Either way it's discouraging to try learning a tune when the very first chord is a kick in the pants hahaha
