cheap sunglasses posted:Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 maybe? Ya, I think Shostakovich in general is maybe the right call with some caveats, namely that it's tough to recommend the Shostakovich symphonies to people who don't necessarily want to spend the effort required to dig through the ironies and doublespeak in them. I don't know a lot about Prokofiev compared to my familiarity with Shostakovich though. Following Prokofiev back would lead you to Rimsky-Korsakov and Scriabin, and digging into Shostakovich would point you back toward Bruckner and Mahler. There's also some killer bombasty stormy Myaskovsky syms and I can't remember which ones they are. Other symphonies: Britten, Robert Simpson, Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Schnittke. Think these would all apply, broadly. funkcroquet fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Jul 14, 2010 |

EAT DOG TODAYYYY posted:In addition, what are some core rap albums that self-proclaimed rap fans should sit down and listen to? I don't really know what I'm missing out on as far as classics go. Classic rap albums: Erik B and Rakim - Paid In Full Boogie Down Productions (BDP) - Criminal Minded Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back KRS-One - Return of the Boom Bap Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Gang Starr - Step In the Arena Big L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous Nas - Illmatic Notorious B.I.G - Ready To Die Black Star - Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are... I mean, there are so many missing from that list it's not even funny. I have kind of ignored the West Coast and The South for many years now, so if someone wants to recommend the essential West Coast and Southern rap records to this EAT DOG and I, it would be much appreciated.

so I've been listening to a lot of electronic music, and these are my favorite artists so far: Air Aphex Twin Basement Jaxx Benny Benassi Dimitri From Paris Dj Krush Giorgio Moroder Kruder and Dorfmeister Metro Area The Prodigy Tricky I guess I'm looking for more fun/catchy electronic music, I tried some weirder stuff like The Orb and Oval but I don't like it too much. It seems like the artists I like are all over the place and some of them might not even be electronic so I don't know. any recommendations?

My favorites are Death Angel, Kreator and Anthrax.

Yeah, I want something bombast yet somewhat "dark" (I'm not sure how best to describe the feel of the piece otherwise). Dunno if Wagner would be the best comparison. Thank you for suggestions everyone, going to give them a look.

And speaking of Aphex Twin, any of his monikers: AFX, Caustic Window, GAK, etc are worth checking out. Tycho can be compared to Air, in some respects. I strongly encourage you to check out Dan Deacon. Seriously.

Huge artists (some RnB, mostly hip hop, missing 99.999% of them, but it's a starting point along with the ones above me): Notorious B.I.G.

I looooove gfunk, though. Ginuwine (Pony) <-- just kidding, THIS is the best hip hop/rnb song edit: new finds of mine are: Lil Wayne (Mrs Officer) Jason Derulo (Hit Me With a Text ft Mann, or vice versa I dunno) <-- dumb, but loving catchy!

I'm looking for some jazz. I love jazz. I listen to it a lot on the local jazz station. However, I have absolutely no idea what artists to look for. The type of jazz I like... well... it's that kind that gives you that Sunday morning brunch feeling. The slow kind where the percussion is just a slow tap on the cymbal, with the bass man walking along the bass, and a piano just soloing forever. If anyone knows of any jazz groups or artists like that, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I recently listened to the Shatter soundtrack made by Module and loved it. I've been looking for more but haven't found much that's similar, and I'm a bit lost since I don't listen to much electronic stuff. Tried some from mistermojo's list and the electronic music guide but haven't really stumbled onto anything similar that grabs me so far. Looking for music similar to this, preferred without vocals.

So a friend gave me a copy of Dan Deacon's Acorn Master and I keep going back to this CD. I've since heard Bromst and Meetle Mice by Mr. Deacon (I don't know if its the whole first exposure thing or not, but Acorn Master is by far my favorite), but I'm curious what other artists might I like in this vein. I am ignorant as poo poo about electronic music beyond some old 80s/90's poo poo (kraftwerk, devo if you would put them under electronic, chemical bros, prodigy, daft punk etc) and have no idea where to start, or what ridiculous subgenre he would fall under. To clarify, I really like the whole clusterfuck/drone sound he has going on with a lot of those tracks and would like to know more artists that sound like that. Help me gunes!

qrj posted:All of them. Look pal, I'm not a huge fan of funk music, but I don't go making GBS threads allover the genre when someone asks for funk recommendations. Few, if any, of the bands listed on that page sound like Start Today. Did you even bother reading the heaping pile of poo poo you linked to? Additionally, your claim that all hardcore bands, "literally all sound the same, consist of the same subject matter, have the same song structure" is testament to your lack of knowledge about the genre. El Gallinero Gros posted:I recently discovered Gorilla Biscuits "Start Today". What other hardcore records have a similar sound? One of the unique things about Start Today is that it contains a poppy sound that wasn't replicated by many of their contemporaries. It's what makes GB one of the most accessible and influential bands in both hardcore and punk music. I think that 7Seconds 'The Crew' is probably something you'll enjoy. It was released 6ish years before Start Today, and contains a hard yet poppy sound that is similar to the one heard on Start Today. You might also enjoy Insted's 'The Bonds of Friendship' and Mouthpiece's 'Face Tomorrow'. You should also check out Gorilla Biscuit's first EP. It's a little rougher and harder than 'Start Today', and closer to their '88 contemporaries. If you like that, dive headfirst into Youth Crew with Youth Today's 'Breakdown The Walls', Judge's 'What It Meant: The Complete Discography', and Chain of Strength's 'The One Thing That Still Holds True'.

Going off of the two albums I have, what do you recommend I listen to next? Hey, fellow Zappa fan! I agree that his discography is intimidating, but Apostrophe is a great album for getting your feet wet in the pool of Zappaness. You should follow it up with the album that came out the year between Grand Wazoo and Apostrophe, 1973's Over-Nite Sensation. Like Apostrophe, it is very poppy and accessible, with some of Zappa's best-known songs. After that, I'd skip to 1979 for two of my favorite albums of his, Sheik Yerbouti (also loaded with raunchy humor and pop-rock hits) and Joe's Garage, a rock opera/concept album that everyone ought to hear at least once. Finally, 1978's Studio Tan also has the bizarre, cartoonish-sounding 20-minute epic "The Adventures of Greggery Peccary," which is just too much fun. Zappa has a long and illustrious career, but most of my favorite albums came out of the '70s, and luckily you already have a foothold in that era.
