No mention of Dangerdoom yet? I'm surprised. I've found that The Mouse And The Mask is probably the kind of hip hop that would appeal to you lot, and can ease you into finding out that good hip hop is a million miles away from the guns, girls and gangster R&B that towering shitheaps like 50 Cent continue to grunt out. It references and samples cartoons like Sealab 2021, Space Ghost: Coast To Coast and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. At the very least, give "Sofa King" and "Space Hos" a listen. They're probably the most accessible songs on the album.

that album was average at best, that's probably why no one's mentioned it. i haven't lost faith in dangermouse quite yet though, his gnarls barkley project with cee-lo should be one of the biggest records of 2006.

I played Dangerdoom to death and I reckon Mm... Food is better now?

 

Elniro has some good albums in his list.

 

The forum crashes on me when I post so I ain't writing a detailed list again.

 

1. Grayskul - Deadlivers

2. Cage - Hell's Winter <-- Doesn't make the top fo being too 'emo'

3. Kanye West - Late Registration Cunninglynguists - A Piece of Strange

4. The Game - The Documentary Kanye West - Late Registration

5. Young Jeezy - Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 Beanie Sigel - The B. Coming

 

Ras Kass, Mylo, Snoop Dogg (Swap Snoop for Young Jeezy) The Diplomats (Memorial Day mixtape) Bloc Party, The Mars Volta and Common had good albums too.

 

Copz is Coming by Purple City, Con Queso by MF Doom,Galvanise, Feel Good Inc, The Bravery single, Rock n Roll Queen, Dr. Pressure, that dub/reggae track that The Ordinary Boys done, Black & White town by The Doves were all great hits.

Frances the Mute - Mars Volta

Lullabies to Paralyze - Queens of the Stone Age

Probably others I've forgotten, too.

[Rickoss]

See, compared to other stuff by Foo's, I don't find In Your Honour heavy :-/ I was expecting stuff like 'My Poor Brain', 'Weenie Beanie' and 'Enough Space', but I was disappointed

 

Yeah, what annoys me most about their latest album is the b-sides they've left out are far better than the album tracks. Some really heavy stuff was left out.

 

Love the acoustic though.

[Owen]

Panic! At the Disco!- Fever You Can't Sweat Out

The Rasmus-Hide From The Sun

Mae- The Everglow

All-American Rejects- Move Along!

HIM- Dark Light

Jacks Mannequin- Everything In Transit

 

Unknown bands:

 

Jump! Little Children (espicially the song Cathedrals)

Elkland (80's sounding, techno like emo, very hard to explain but great)

 

10 Year old band just bought:

 

Def Leppard (what took me so long? lol)

[EchoDesiato]

Foo Fighters- In Your Honor. Great album. Dave Grohl and his comrades play fanatastic. The second cd on the album isn't as great as the first one though.

 

Queens Of The Stone Age- Lullabies To Paralyze. Album of the year for me. Didn't quite like it at first but after letting it spin a few times it really grew on me. The songs are really catchy, and they have cool lyrics.

 

Queens Of The Stone Age- Over The Years And Through The Woods. All the great QOTSA songs live on cd and dvd. Their live performances are vere energetic.

Areed, I mean, how amazing is 'World' demo :shock:

[Ramar]

Panic! At the Disco rule!!! Where you going to see them live?

 

London Astoria, January 27th.

[Rickoss]

Areed, I mean, how amazing is 'World' demo :shock:

 

Yeah, replace Resolve and Last Song with World and FFL and you've got a great album. Still not as good as their first three, though.

Damn it! Taking Back Sunday are at the Norwich UEA the same day! So as my bro is going to that i can't go to the Astoria to see Panic!...saying that though it's a fair bit of travelling to get there and i would have to be in the mood 100%. I absolutely hate travelling.
