I've realized that I desperately need more apocalyptic, furious drums in my life, preferably mixed with brass and strings. Can anyone recommend anything like Junkie XL's Fury Road soundtrack?

I'm especially fond of Brothers in Arms:

I've been reading Soulsville USA: The Story of Stax Records by Rob Bowman, and it's pretty great. Can anyone recommend any other books about the music industry (whether it's about a genre or a record company) that's particularly good?

Night Ranger is hair metal - I'd have thought they'd be pretty far from the Smiths.

the lines between post-hardcore/screamo/emo are all very thin and easily crossed. here are some good songs. i could do this all day with bands that were prolific and bands that put out a 7" and disappeared. if you want more just ask i guess.

i also made some posts a little while back for someone looking for similar things. look for my (extremely good as always) posts on the last page because they're all applicable to you as well.

I'm looking for someone to recommend me a couple rap/hip-hop albums to broaden my collection. I mostly listen to alternative and indie rock so I'm not super into that genre but I want to go deeper. Here are some stuff I already own and like:

-All of Kanye
-Childish Gambino post-Camp (have all of it but I don't like his earlier stuff as much)
-Mos Def-Black on Both Sides
-Cunninlinguists-Piece of Strange
-Wale-Album About Nothing
-Clear Soul Forces-Detroit Revolution

Should I dig deeper into any of the latter artists? Who else sounds like these?

I'd definitely check out any of Outkast's albums, The Roots earlier albums, or A Tribe Called Quest's stuff (excepting the love movement, it wasn't horrible but was meh). I'd definitely recommend checking out the rest of Mos Def's albums if you liked Black on Both Sides. Most Wale fans think that his earlier mixtape output was his best so those are definitely worth looking into as well (especially The Mixtape About Nothing).

Cunninlinguists and Clear Soul Forces are both good acts that sound like about 10000 different dudes from the mid 2000's. It's not a bad thing, it was just (and is to a lesser extent) a very popular style. For similar stuff I'd check for Murs & 9th Wonder's collab albums, anything by Illogic (or on Greenhouse records in general), Little Brother's earlier stuff, Insight, and Edan. For newer dudes who have a similar style but maybe not exactly, Open Mike Eagle, Homeboy Sandman, Hail Mary Mallon, Shad, Luck one/Hanif, Danny Swain, and Pell.

Just to reiterate, the first two albums by Wu-Tang Clan are a must, and pretty much any of the first solo albums by any of the members (especially Method Man's Tical, and GZA's Liquid Swords).

Masters of the Universe by Binary Star
Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Man on the Moon: The End of the Day by Kid Cudi
The Mouse and the Mask by Danger Doom (collab by MF Doom and Danger Mouse)
Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde by Pharcyde
Ready to Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Every Outkast album. Stankonia is a good place to start, with many of their hits.

All of these albums are accessible and distinctive.

There's a three CD set called Tamla Motown Gold: The Sound of Young America which covers most of the main hits from "Money (That's What I Want)" through to some of the Rare Earth stuff from the 1970s. I have two Motown collections and it's definitely the better of the two.

Since Motown was overwhelmingly concerned with singles rather than albums (albums didn't really become a big deal in R&B music in general until Isaac Hayes did Hot Buttered Soul in 1969 and single-handedly proved that there was an audience for them), if you're interested in particular artists, you'd be best to pick out their greatest hits collections. Most of the big names have entries in Universal's "Gold" series, which are two disc career retrospectives with around 40 songs or so. The most significant "album artists" Motown had were Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, and then only in the 1970s.

If you're interested in some of the "deeper cuts" I'd recommend trying Jimmy Ruffin, the Contours, Junior Walker and the All-Stars and Chris Clark's first album (but not her second album - if I recall correctly, it was mostly psychedelic pop rubbish; harpsichords and stuff. For what it's worth, they're both compiled on Chris Clark: The Motown Collection). Also check out the Chairmen of the Board - they're not Tamla Motown themselves, but they were "masterminded" by Holland-Dozier-Holland after they left Motown.

Okay so I'm gonna post a few youtube links to songs that I would listen to before going out, the kind we'd have going on while we all drink just to get us in the mood, I'm not entirely sure what genre they would be related to, so if anyone could point me in the direction of a thread that'll have more of what I want, that'd be great! Otherwise, or in addition to, if you could post more music like this then that would be fantastic.
