Artist not band specifically: Chris Cornell
Black Sabbath
Check this out…Zakk Wylde did a thing.
Seen it live, good times
Holy shit how was it‽ Is his voice that similar to Ozzy live?
I mean, it’s great, but it’s basically Black Label Sabbath, if you’ve heard ‘The Wizard’ cover on the Pride & Glory album it should give you a good estimate.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard because they are carrying all of the genres
Dark tranquility 🤘
They Might Be Giants
The Roots (first four albums especially)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor / A Sliver Mt. Zion
Portishead, Massive Attack
Public Enemy
Alestorm! It has everything, drunk pirates, silly pirates, horny pirates, bloodlusting pirates and pizza, for reasons I guess.
Chris bowes is a racist sex-offender though…
Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Silver Mt Zion
King Crimson is the official answer.
But I put Tool, Meshuggah, Between the Buried and Me, and maybe Karnivool in second place.
Have you heard the stuff that Fripp and Eno did together? “Heavenly Music Corporation”. It’s heavy.
Did you get some wires crossed here? After looking it up HMC is electronic music by a guy named Kim Cascone. The group you seem to reference is simply Fripp & Eno.
I’m going to check out both anyway, so thanks!
Heavenly Music Corporation is the album.
Also No Pussyfooting
I like ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical… Its a radio frequency band…)
It’s a four-way tie between David Byrne/Talking Heads, Oingo Boingo, Spin Doctors and Yello.
Edit: five way tie - add in Earth, Wind and Fire (pre 1981)
I read this exact comment 10 years ago
Make that 20 or maybe even 30. What can i say? I’m old. I still enjoy discovering new stuff though.
Overall? Between the Buried and Me
By genre?
Black Metal - White Ward (Slavs Ukraini!), Ihsahn
Death - First Fragment, Ulcerate
Instrumental - Animals as Leaders, CHON
(Post-)Hardcore - The Fall of Troy
Progressive (that isn’t BTBAM) - Protest the Hero, Ne Obliviscaris
Overall … Misery Index
By Genre
Death Metal - Dying Fetus/Misery Index
Grindcore -Pig Destroyer/Rotten Sound/Napalm Death
Post - Storm of Light
Stoner/Desert -Lowrider/Kyuss/Dozer
Brant Bjork - that man is his own genre.
Did I do okay?
I can’t wait for DeathFest this year!
Opeth, although I don’t love their more recent drift away from death metal (dear god it’s been a decade now). I’ve really loved Cattle Decapitation’s newer stuff, too.
Oh and I second the guy declaring that Wu Tang is for the Children
My friend was my introduction to Opeth and also fell out of love with them around that time.
His new passion band is Castle Rat, he’s absolutely convinced they are the next big thing.
He’s also very excited about us going to see Owlbear in April.
Maybe you will like them too
Thanks, I’ll check them both out!
I like you. You have the same taste as me.
Cattle has been on a streak the last decade or so. 4 or 5 albums that are all incredible.
It’s hard to pick one between ELO, Jamiroquai, the Bee Gees and Linkin Park.
I was so sad to learn of Chester’s passing. He was a trouble man. Very troubled :(
While Chester was one of kind - I really like Emily Armstrong. I saw them live a few months ago and she put on a SHOW. I got worried when the first few songs she was getting the crowd to sing most of the lyrics for the old Chester stuff, but then she let it rip for the second half and fucking tore the place down.
I saw them in Vancouver last year too.
I think she’s perfect on the new music but her singing the old stuff just isn’t there yet.
Which is fair, she will improve on that but I think she just needs more of her own music before she will get a fair response from the crowd. Which is just a matter of time so this isn’t even a complaint
