The Pumpkins' first album Gish is amazing, so full of energy! I'd also highly recommend Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie. As for Nirvana, most people start with Nevermind, but Bleach and In Utero are great albums too. My favourite for quiet, introspective moments is their MTV Unplugged album though, it has a chillingly beautiful version of David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World.

Hey Graeme, yeah I like a bit of Maiden, RATM, Metallica and Pink Floyd too, hehe we really do have similar taste! While I'm in recommendation mode, have you heard Opeth's Blackwater Park? It's stunning!
No I haven't got Opeth's Blackwater Park album yet, princess_haru - but I will get it. I've only got their Ghost Reveries album, which is musicially amazing. I think Blackwater Park will be the next Opeth album I get - that and Damnation (I've read great reviews of that album). Oh and I'll definitely be getting Opeth's new album, Watershed

MotherWolf, I can barely understand nile's lyrics. Thats the fun part. Hearing them for the first time, you hear pretty much what you want to hear, and then seeing the difference between that and is always pretty interesting. After all of that, reading the lyrics are always very interesting, because they are pure and without music and it is more like poetry (which I enjoy). Nile's lyrics are about Egypt, and in their cd annhiliation of thr wicked, after all of the lyrics in the cd booklet or what-have-you, they explain what the song is about. They definately did their research, and the information is all fascinating and even more so when it ties into the song that they wrote for it.
Luckily, the lyrics and the explanations are on this site (theres alot). Just scroll down to ahnnhiliation of the wicked, and click on any of the songs.

Well I'm no Maiden expert, but The Number of the Beast has some great tracks on it (Hallowed Be Thy Name, Children of the Damned, the title track etc) and Powerslave has more horn-throwing stuff like 2 Minutes to Midnight and the epic Rime of the Ancient Mariner 8)

The Cure

Joy Division
Killing Joke
Echo and The Bunnymen
Placebo
HIM
Muse........ there's loads others, but those are my favourites!
Also, i'm really getting into classical music recently - anything from the romantic era. Rachmaninov, Chopin and Schubert are very good. Check this out, if you have a few minutes spare:

Yeah - nearly anything composed by Rachmaninov is lovely!
Try these two:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YGRO05WcNDk&feature=related
^ Chopin's Nocturne No. 2. He wrote lots of nocturnes, but this one's my favourite!!
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JqrYCrDspgE
^ Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1
But really i know nothing about classical music. I'm just getting into it really. It's amazing - there's so much music out there, that you have no idea exists.

Thanks, Strawberry. I loved the nocturne, and the end of the concerto took my breath away! I grew up hearing a lot of classical music as my dad had a huge collection of old LPs, and listening to it now reminds me of him and makes me feel all warm and happystrawberrybrunette said:

I love British music even though I'm from US. There is a website that I check out bands that I never heard of but always finding new bands I like. Just type in a band you like and it will show you bands that sound like them. You can even listen to songs on there. And download a program and it lists all the songs you listen to from winamp and stuff like that. I love this site.

Here's a few other bands/artists I listen to from time to time:
-Teddybears(Although this group is classified as techno/electronica, they have some reggae-funk songs like "Are You Feelin' It")
-Motorhead(I like this band's biker-tough vocals)
-Nightwish( Bye Bye Beautiful is the coolest 8) song I heard from them)
-Drist(I listen to these guys mostly for the instrumental aspect)
-Killswitch Engage( They remind me of All that Remains cuz they scream like there is no tomorrow lol)
Btw, I would like to find bands/artists that sing alot about mysterious supernatural things like mythology,vampires, ghosts, e.t.c. I really don't know of much if any, bands/artists of that nature, but I know they're out there. :wink:
