(taken from My Top 10 List on another site):

1) Defunkt - Defunkt. The self-titled debut album is my hands down favorite. Loud, brash and brimming with over the top funk, nothing has come close to replacing it. Ever. If it doesn't get you moving, you must be dead. I would have to recommend avoiding all other albums of theirs, even if it was the launching pad of Living Color guitarist Vernon Reid (whose 'Vivid' album deserves to be on this list as well, but might not depending on which direction I go off into tonight).
2) Weight - Rollins Band. Henry & Co. are in full force on what I consider to be their tightest album. Hard as hell, groove laden and in your face with overall thoughtful lyrics questioning everyday life in the madhouse we call America. I never got into Black Flag, but have always liked him. The band itself is awesome enough on their own, but would lack the overall intensity had anyone else picked up the mic. I would consider this a precursor to everything that Rage Against The Machine was to the tenth power.
3) I Against I - Bad Brains. What do you get when mixing reggae and hardcore punk ? The Brains of course. Nothing has sounded like them before. Nothing will sound like them again. This album is not as punk sounding as their earlier material or as crossover and rehashed material in later albums like 'Quickness' and it still considered to be their finest moment. I agree. For those of you who think The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock 'n' roll band, you might be wrong.
4) Funhouse - The Stooges. Somewhere between The Velvet Underground and The Ramones, Iggy Pop became the icon of punk. 'Raw Power' might be the better known of their albums, but this is by far the most cohesive and rawest effort. Everything screams at you with such intensity that it is impossible to ignore (with the exception of 'We Will Fall').

Everything after these top four albums can change drastically depending on my mood at any time. These four however are set in stone.

5) The Misfits - Walk Among Us. Not their fastest album since 'Earth A.D.' has that distinction. Not even the most versatile since 'Legacy of Brutality' holds that as well. Maybe the make-up was a little over the top and the devilock haircuts didn't help, but before 2 of the members regrouped as 'Glen Danzig's "old" band' and went on to be professional wrestlers (huh?) and go commercial on the name alone, this was them at their best - straight ahead punk with all the horror lyrics sung by a howling Elvis. They've since become a shadow of themselves, if not an all-around joke.

Shit i miss read the title


anyway

1.Tool-Anima or something like that
2.Slayer-Reighn in blood
3.rolling stones greatest hits
4.Deftones-white poney
5.Korn-follow the leader

Besides my own list. Your the only other list that doesn't suck

no order...

1) Frank Sinatra and Count Basie - Live at the Sands
2) Burt Bacharach - any album
3) Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight
4) Urge Overkill - Supersonic Storybook
5) tie between Genesis - Lamb lies Down on Broadway or Genesis - Selling England by the Pound or Genesis - Foxtrot or Genesis Nursery Crymes or 10CC - How Dare You or Strawbs - Nomadness or Strawbs - Deep Cuts or Sparks - Kimono My House or Led Zep - Houses of the Holy or
screw it - the list is endless.

(1) The Day The Earth Met The ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS
http://www.smogveil.com/wow/images/rocket.gif
^^ The greatest album never recorded.

(2) MELVINS - Houdini

(3) NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE - Zuma

(4) any good HANK WILLIAMS compilation

(5) GUNS N' ROSES - Appetite For Destruction

plus a bunch of punk and metal shit from various eras but yeh the list could go on and sould've included a lot more bands but those are the ones I'll never tire of.

We Will Fall is on the first album. Everyone seems to bag that song except me it's one of my favorites. Very intense drug fuelled song that takes you away to somewhere deranged.

5)Slipknot-Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat
4)Lambof god-Ashes of the wake
3)Slipknot-Iowa
2)Slipknot-Vol.3(The Subliminal verses)
1)Slipknot-Slipknot

the song (SIC) kick's ass

anyone without Burt Bacharach on their list obviously has no sense of 'musical cool' and should be immediately disqualified from having an opinion.

therefore my list is the only good list.

1. The Downward Spiral (NIN)
2. Master of Puppets (Metallica)
3. Broken (NIN)
4. And Justice for All (Metallica)
5. Fat of the Land (the Prodigy)


I dont care for Burt and you cant make me. What the hell kind of name is "Burt" anyway? Sounds like a sound you make while puking....


*heave*
*hwort*
*BURT*

Jesus, I'm never drinking again.....

you are obviously to young to have learned cool.

i may teach you young grasshopper., but you must pay attention. Open your mind to new experiences.

when you are able to take the hocky puck from my stick, you will be ready.

Me? Hockey?

Street hockey maybe, but if i even look at skates, i fall down.

Without skates... i am a runaway train. Any sport that includes body-checking is a-ok in my book.

And i thought we long ago established that i am made of the "cool" equivelant of antimatter.

ok .. we'll start you off slow ..

some Dino, some Sinatra ... we'll work our way up to Burt..
you will learn cool ..

In my opinion, this is the best list on here. Nice taste Mothman.

If you don't mind my asking though, how old are you? Only reason I bring it up is because (in my opinion) both Bad Religion and Pennywise have older stuff (Early-mid 90s) that's better than the albums you mentioned. (Not that the newer stuff isn't good. I just like the older stuff from both of those particular bands better.) In any event, you like good lyricists which points to intelligence. ;)



Here's my list...





1. Bad Religion - All Ages
2. NOFX - White trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean
3. The Toadies - Rubberneck
4. Self - Gizmodgery
5. The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club
6. Sublime - Sublime
7. Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
8. The Beatles - Abbey Road
9. Pennywise - Full Circle
10. The Doors - The Doors
11. Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
12. System of a Down - Toxicity
13. Lagwagon - Hoss
14. Dr. Dre - The Chronic
15. Bob Marley - Legend
16. Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
17. Nirvana - Nevermind
18. Weezer - Blue Album
19. Bad Religion - How Could Hell be any Worse?
20. The Toadies - Stars Above, Hell Below


Alright, I started writing my top 5, but I couldn't live with myself if I excluded some of these so you're getting my top 20. Hope you can all deal with the fact that I am blatantly cheating. :D

no Burt there either ..

pffffffft...

Nope. No Burt. No Sinatra either. What can I say? It's not my style.

Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction was a really close runner up though.

it's ok .. apparently it is my burden to be the one person on the site who understands 'cool'


but i'm here to spread the good word.

the gospel according to urgeok.

The Gospel according to Urgeok:

From this day foward, "Burden" will be known as "Burdon". It is a mix of "Burden" and "Burboun"

ohhh you really dont want to go down this road with me boy :D
you cant edit all of your old typos - it's been too long now hahahahha

You really don't like people with a musicial opinion.

My top 10 list:

1. Illusion of Safety- Thrice
2. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3- Coheed and Cambria
3. Exile in Oblivion- Strung Out
4. Rise Against- Siren Song of the Counter Culture
5.From Here to Infirmary- Alkaline Trio
6. Caution- Hot Water Music
7. The Resignation- Rx Bandits
8. Stranger than Fiction- Bad Religion
9. Smash- The Offspring
10. Make a Sound- Autopilot Off

i dont dislike people for their opinions ...


i just want to help ... i'm on a mission of enlightenment

^^ They don't make music like they used too *waves walking stick violently*

i hate to say it - but it's true !

i dig the stuff before my time - far more than the stuff after ..

not because it's noisy - i could care less about that - 'bring on the noise !!'

- but because it's uninspired rehashed flavor of the month watered down poop.

every now and then i'll find an exception ... but it's rare and i just dont have the energy to wade through waist deep streams of shit to find one or 2 good bands these days ..

like every other aspect of the arts - there isnt much left to do in music - creatively ..

i dont know what the cure is .. what will give is a new direction ..
we've already recycled the 50's 60's 70's 80's
we've combined 'world music' influences with rock ..

whats left to do !? where to go next ?

i know music doesnt have to fit into those categories - and shouldnt - but in the last 30 or so years these are the emerging trends ... finding pure good rock and roll - that stands up on its own terms is a rarity - because thats not the way the music company execs think - and they rule the planet - musically.

You checked out Dead Moon yet? Like I told you before its exactley what you're looking for.

not yet - hopefully when the merry-go-round slows down i'll get a chance to do something for me !

They've got most of their stuff on vinyl here: http://www.deadmoonusa.com/deadmoon.htm
I recommend Crack In The System to get into first. Pearl Jam did a fucking awfull cover of one of the songs of this album so you minght have heard it ("It's OK").
