Wat is your favorite album?

[Niode]

I can't pick just one. It's not right.

Can we have babies together? I don't care how difficult it is. If we keep the children in this country your wife need never know.

As for my favourite albums right now would have to be:
Secret Chiefs 3 - Book M

Go listen to 'Secret Chiefs 3 - Zulfiqar III' right now. That's an order.

The Album Leaf - Into The Blue Again



Of all time:

I could listen to this album on repeat all day. Heck probably for days.

Very hard to pick one, but not a bad moment on that album IMHO and I usually want to listen to it more than once when I put it on.

I'm going to have to check this out apparently. I've never heard it, but I like Bogdan.

Good to see some other Tom Waits fans

You can add me to that list.

Rain Dogs is probably my favorite of his too. That or Small Change.

I don't know how to respond to that.

Seriously, X Japan? I'm sorry, I know everyone likes different music, but this is the japanese equivalent of hair metal.

It absolutely is Japanese hair metal, but it's good Japanese hair metal IMO. Guilty Pleasure. I regular have Poison, Motley Crue, Warrent, etc. on my playlists as well, but to be honest I'd put X in the same class as Maiden (which, to be honest, is my favourite band along with Zeppelin), Dream Theater, Rush, etc. A listen to "Art of Life" should verify this.

Still, if it's what you like, it's what you like and I don't mean to insult you.

No insult taken. Trust me, I'm used to it!

Broad enough for you? (Sorry for image heavy post, trust me, it was a lot bigger before editing.

Seriously, X Japan? I'm sorry, I know everyone likes different music, but this is the japanese equivalent of hair metal. Haha, I just don't know how someone can favorite music that is focused around appearances just as much, if not more, than the music itself. Still, if it's what you like, it's what you like and I don't mean to insult you.

fyi X-Japan may have started the whole visual kei thing, but musically they're more than competent, and I'd hardly say the image takes precedence over the music for them.

+1 They are more than competent. But I didn't like the Last Live that much because there were 15 minute drum solos. I don't care how good you are at drums, I can't listen to a percussive instrument for 15 minutes.

The composer of the band had a strong classical music background that heavily influenced the band's music, so you can't really call it hair metal because the music was very structured and I don't think the band's music was very metal at all to be honest- more like hard rock with quite a lot of ballads.

It really is good. It's very happy, bouncy, and energetic with a great mix of the '8 bit synth sound' he sometimes uses, little frail melodies, and nice bombastic rhythms. If you like electronic music (or old game music) and this doesn't put a smile on your face or make you start tapping along, there's probably something wrong with you.
