I want to check out Coil.

The only song I've heard is Teenage Lightning, which is pretty neat. Is that album (Ape of Naples) a good place to start?

Where should I start with Outkast? My Outkast knowledge goes as far as Ms. Jackson, BOB and Hey Ya.

For Outkast I'd recommend Aquemini as a start because that album is awesome, and then go for ATLiens. They're all incredible albums. You might want to give Speakerboxxx/The Love Below a shot. Their first album is great too but I don't know how it's aged because I've been listening to it for so long.

Overall:

Aquemini
ATLiens
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Stankonia


Thanks Technetium and HAI for the Coil recommendations. I think I'll go for Love's Secret Domain first.

What about Fugazi? It's one of those bands I always hear talked about, and everyone I know of who is into them is REALLY into them.

13 Songs and Repeater would probably be your best bet and are the two that got me into Fugazi as well. Those two albums have most of the familiar songs and are both great albums. And once you've gotten a feel for their sound, give the soundtrack to Instrument a listen to hear how diverse they are able to sound.

Where do I start with:

John Prine?

I got into John Prine about 8 years ago and the album that did it for me was the anthology called Great Days. It's a great two-disc album and is filled with good songs.

http://www.amazon.com/Great-Days-Jo...y/dp/B000003329

I've never felt the need to buy another album of his after having Great Days for so long.

Some of my favorite tracks from the compilation:

Christmas In Prison
Angel From Montgomery (amazing live version with Bonnie Rait)
Unwed Fathers
Storm Windows
Sabu Visits The Twin Cities Alone
Illegal Smile

I would like to check out:

Melt Banana
The Boredoms
Lightning Bolt
The Locust


And any other obnoxious noise.

Melt Banana - Try Bambi's Dillema
Lightning Bolt - Either Hypermagic Mountain or Wonderful Rainbow

aaaaaaand if you want obnoxious, noisy, Boredoms try Soul Discharge. Then get everything else they've ever done, including all the super roots albums and OOIOO's stuff and eYe's DJ work as their albums are rarely anything less than amazing.

edit: Obnoxious noise? Dude, try Merzbow.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check these out for sure.

I think I need to explore Merzbow a little more. I had checked out one track a while ago and it wasn't good. I can't remember the name of it unfortunately.

I like really aggressive sounding stuff, both in electronic music and rock. I'm not too keen on droning noise but I do like a "wall of sound" presence as well as the more manic stuff.

Infidel?/Castro!'s "Bioentropic Damage Fractal", Behold... the Arctopus, old The Dillinger Escape Plan (everything before Miss Machine), PsyOpus's "Ideas of Reference", Wolf Eyes, Orthrelm and Ocrilim are definitely all things you should check out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm familiar with Behold... the Arctopus and enjoy them. I see Infidel?/Castro! is related to Dysrythmia, who I have also heard. I've heard a little of Dillinger Escape Plan but not enough to form an opinion. I'll give them a better listen as well. And I've only heard mention of Wolf Eyes. The others are new to me but I'll be checking them out for sure.

I yet seek instruction regarding Donovan though. Is there more stuff out there by like "Colours"? It's the only song I know (from a movie soundtrack) and I love it. Can anyone help?

You'd probably do all right just going with a compilation.

I'd suggest either this Greatest Hits album or Troubadour, which has some great songs on it. I was pleased to find a copy of the latter album at my local library.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me find more glam rock/glam influenced rock? I've got all the Bowie, T. Rex and Mott the Hoople albums, as well as some of newer stuff like Spacehog and The Eagles of Death Metal (maybe glam). I've liked some singles by groups like Mud and Alvin Stardust too. What else is out there that has that real glam sound to it?

Give a listen to Roxy Music. Go for their self-titled album and see what you think.

I had never heard of Chrome before but they're awesome. Thanks to the person asking about them and the person who provided the suggestion. I bought the double MP3 album on Amazon for $7.99

For years I've had the Oasis song "Half the World Away" in my collection, and it struck me tonight how much I like that song. I don't think I've ever heard another Oasis song. What's a good album to check out, with that song in mind?

Thanks so much, I'll definitely get those three releases first. Do you have any other 80s Hardcore recommendations?

Minutemen!

This Ain't No Picnic
Jesus & Tequila

Double Nickels on the Dime is one of the finest albums to come out of the 80's, hardcore or otherwise.

Consider the fierceness of the two songs above, and then these, which appeared on the same album:

History Lesson, Pt II
Cohesion

The simplest thing to do would be to listen to their first two albums, Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral. If you like the heavier industrial stuff, you can then check out the EP Broken, which came out in between them. If you liked what you heard on The Downward Spiral, check out their third album, The Fragile.

And if you like Broken, check out the remix album Fixed.
