Allman brothers… Man, might have to tack them on as a #16.


Metallica “Master of Puppets”
Pink Floyd “The Wall”
Rush “2112”
Dream Theater “Train of Thought”
Iced Earth “The Glorius Burden”
Iron Maiden "Powerslave’
Grateful Dead “Europe '72”
Fuel “Something Like Human”
Foo Fighters “The Colour and the Shape”
The Juliana Theory “Emotion is Dead”
Tool “10,000 Days”
Weezer “Weezer (blue)”
The Smashing Pumpkins “Machina and the Machines of God”

Absent from this list are Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, SRV, Clapton, and many other guitar gods. Also, the albums listed represent my current favorite of the artists body of work, and were tough calls. I also forgot some southern rock and other metal, there is just too much to weed through.

It’s lunchtime and I have nothing better to do.

Zao “Liberate Te Ex Inferis”
Living Sacrifice “The Hammering Process”
Embodyment “Songs For The Living”
Project 86 “Truthless Heroes”
Soundgarden “Badmotorfinger”
Benea Reach “Alleviat”
Poor Old Lu “A Picture of The Eighth Wonder”
Sevendust “Home”
Everdown “Straining”

Can’t really think of anymore.

Current favorites or those that make you go “holy spit”, once you listen to the levels of the music?

I could go on…these albums have been in steady rotation for over a decade in my CD players.

Maybe I’m old, but the new music these days sucks. The 90’s kicked ass.

Dude. Nice. Love old solid state stuf… I have tons of it. As for poor old lou, ever hear their album “sin”? So good. Glad to see someone gettin’ in to the old school christian hardcore. Everdown’s “straining” is a phenomonal album. I lost my copy years ago. Brandon ebel/tooth and nail/ss/bec used to have it going on… I feel they have really gone to pot… The stuff put out now is garbage.

DJ Shadow is revolutionary. His “six days remix” is one of the best tracks I’ve heard. Also, portishead is amazing. “Wandering star” is my favorite track of theirs.

I haven’t listened to much Solid State/Tooth and Nail stuff in a long time.

About shat myself when listening to Liquid Metal on XM and there was a new Living Sacrifice song being played. Whatever they’re doing nowadays it’s working.

Living Sacrifice has a new CD coming out next week called “The Infinite Order”. There is a video on Youtube for the song “Rules Of Engagement”.
