Metal & Rock Music Recommendations (indie, albums, jimi hendrix, member)

For anyone who's into doom or sludge, Crowbar's new album Sever the Wicked Hand is an absolute MUST HAVE. It's their first album in six years and has some of the dirtiest riffs I've heard in quite some time. Highly recommended!

What do you guys think of The Offspring? I own Smash and Ignition, is anything else worth buying?

I think Ixnay on the Hombre is an incredibly underrated album that doesn't deserve some of the criticism it gets. It's certainly not as good as Smash, but if you're trying to get into some deeper cuts of The Offspring the album does provide a few, particularly the song "Gone Away" which is easily one of their best.

What are some live rock albums that are on the same level as The Who's Live At Leeds ?

EDIT: Also, what are some other great live Who albums? (if there are any?)

I'm not a big fan of live rock albums, but The Stooges' Metallic K.O. (get the reissue Metallic 2 K.O.) is awesome - my favourite live concert is actually a bootleg of two Velvet Underground performances of "Sister Ray" called Sisters Ray

try The Who Live at the Isle of Wight - i haven't heard it yet but the general consensus is that it's pretty good

Thanks Il, I love the stooges, but I don't have that one.

What is the other essential Who stuff other than Whos Next, LaL, Sell Out, Quad, and Tommy?

What else is essential Rolling Stones stuff other than Let It Bleed, Exile, Sticky, and Beggars Banquet?

MC5- Kick Out the Jams (extremely high energy live album)

Led Zeppelin- How the West Was Won (in terms of scale and epicness, compared to Leeds it's just as good. Maybe better...)

Johnny Cash- At San Quentin (I'm not really a country fan, but I love this album. It also has slightly more rock influence than his other works so it could match your rock tastes)

Jerry Lee Lewis- Live at the Star Club, Hamburg (The greatest live album of all time... in my humblest of humble opinions)

i have a soft spot for "Americana"

SGR · 07-01-2011, 02:47 AM

I have thought about getting Ixnay cause I love songs like Mota and Way Down The Line and Cool To Hate. Also thinkin about Americana. Quite a few good songs. What is you guys favorite album and song by them?
