Where do I start with Foetus? What about Coil? What about really anything industrial? I'm a huge fan of Nine Inch Nails but I've never really explored the genre at all.

The Bacon God posted:A question inspired by some music documentaries: Where should I start with pre-Zaireeka Flaming Lips, Daniel Johnston, and The Butthole Surfers? And is Zaireeka worth all the trouble? For the Lips, get Clouds Taste Metallic, Transmissions From the Satellite Heart, and In A Priest Driven Ambulance. That goes backwards chronologically (skipping Hit to Death in the Futurehead, which is one I never really got into) and will make the transition into their earlier stuff easier. If you're still diggin' it by the time you get to Priest Driven Ambulance, you can move onto Hear It Is, Oh My Gawd!!! and Telepathic Surgery. Not must-haves (maybe except OMG!!!) but great albums if you're into the Lips. Zaireeka doesn't really have any songs that stand out to me; it was worth the price to fill out my collection, and a lot of its charm is working out the kinks and finally getting it right on 4 different stereos (which I've only done once, which is probably why I don't remember the majority of the songs). I cheated and ripped all 4 discs once and then played them simultaneously on the computer, and it's definitely a major difference (i.e. stick to the 4 stereos; it's fun!). 1000 umbrellas fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Jun 21, 2008 |

bovis posted:Where should I start with Elvis Costello? The album that 19charactersorless is thinking of is This Year's Model. Definitely pick that up in addition to his first album, My Aim Is True. From there you can go chronologically to Armed Forces and beyond. But those first three albums are a rock 'n' roll triptych, pretty much everyone will agree that they're nearly flawless.

Self Important posted:This one's kinda big, but where do I start with hip hop that isn't all "bitches and money"? "Bitches and money" aren't necessarily a bad thing. Check out N.W.A's "Straight Outta Compton." There's an element of reality/humanity in the music that isn't present in today's plasticized, white suburbia hip-hop. It's loving good.

CSD42 posted:I'm a little bored with rock of all kinds right now, and I'm wondering if I can get a few recommendations of where to start with older rap. I'm not a big fan of today's mainstream rap but there are some people/groups I'm fond of (Tech N9ne, Immortal Technique) that my friends turn me on to and are a bit more out there. Basically I'm wondering if anyone can point me to some of the best 80's-90's rap albums. I have no reservations at all so any recommendations are appreciated. As the whitest kid you'll ever meet, pick up N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton.

shpladoinkle posted:Bump. I finally got myself into Talking Heads via Speaking In Tongues, and I know I have Remain in Light somewhere around. Anyone recommend and order to acquire the rest of their stuff in? What's worth it? Start at the beginning for best results. Talking Heads: 77, More Songs About Buildings and Food, and Fear of Music are all new wave masterpieces. It's likely you'll be turned off at first; very little of this music bears any resemblance to the afro-rhythms and pulses of Remain In Light or Speaking In Tongues, but it's very quickly evident that David Byrne is a master of songwriting, and the tunes are catchy as hell too.

Duckforce Alpha posted:Apologies if this has been mentioned on previous pages, but where do I start with Sublime. I'm no huge Sublime fan, but upon checking Wikipedia my suspicions are confirmed. Save for a couple of posthumous money-grabs, they only have 3 albums. You should probably start with the one that's famous and if you like it, grab the other two. I feel like this is similar to asking "where do I start with My Bloody Valentine," or a similar, known-mostly-for-one-album band. edit: Fine, maybe I made a bit of a hyperbole: in all seriousness, Wikipedia is one of the most definitive music information databases ever. Discogs is the place to go for specific release information, but if you're just wondering about a band and their albums, check out wiki. It is amazing, and I use it to research bands all the time. 1000 umbrellas fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Jan 28, 2010 |

Where to start with Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly? I'm very much an album-oriented person, and I look with disdain upon Greatest Hits compilations, but it seems that despite actually releasing albums, most early rock 'n' rollers are only available nowadays via such compilations.
