What Band / Artist Do You Need To Investigate Further?

[Segue Myles]

Ghost, Lacuna Coil, Aerosmith

 

I would go for Broken Crown Halo or Comalies, but perhaps the bands most immediate and infectious album is Dark Adrenaline.

 

I hear some crazy talk about my Karmacode. Ignore them and make your own mind up!

 

My all time favourite band lol...I am not very good at keeping my fanboyism down haha

[Rick N. Backer]

Ghost, Lacuna Coil, Aerosmith

 

Start with Toys in the Attic for Aerosmith. Then Rocks. Those are the two strongest albums from their classic 70s materials. After that, check out Pump, which is the best of their post Joe Perry-Brad Whitford reunion material. Once you know which era you prefer, if either, you'll still have plenty to work your way through.

Prince. My wife got me to listen to some of his stuff not too long ago. I unfairly dismissed him as cheap pop trash during high school.

Sign O' The Times is killer. I like his glyph album as well.

 

Sign O' The Times is good, but Purple Rain blew my mind. I don't know much Prince myself, but I'd say if you want to get into him that one's a surefire start.

Funny how age and maturity (...?) can change one's mind. Its that era that caused my dislike for him. I don't like everything on it now, but there's stuff worth listening to. I do have Sign O" The Times... Housequake! My wife told me she really like Diamonds and Pearls back in the day. Prince has so much music to check out.

[apetersvt]

I've been getting into jam bands over the last year. I've attended one Phish show and two Dead shows.

 

Dead

Phish

 

Which Dead and Company shows did you see (and which ones are you going to)?

Went to Raleigh a couple weekends ago and will be at both Lockn shows.

Made it to 4 Dead and Company shows last year and 5 in 2016.

 

Tomorrow will be my 25th anniversary of seeing the Grateful Dead for the first time.

Take this advice instead of mine, it's more to the point.

 

Toys

Rocks

Pump

 

if you don't like any of that Aerosmith's probably not your cup of liquor.

Damn! Shut up, already! :ebert:

 

I like Starfish & Coffee, Dorothy Parker, and tge title cut...the low-key quirky stuff. The Sheena collaboration not so much.

 

"You're face is jammin', your body's hecka slammin'...If love is good, let's get to rammin'"

Prince is awesome.

 

that 80's run through Sign o the Times is amazing.

Sign O' The Times the song is absolutely brilliant. I know it's the hit, but it aught to be mentioned just the same. Lyrically, stylistically, the thing can't help but catch your ear. Kinda wish Prince had done a few more like that and a few fewer sex songs, but it doesn't really matter, lol.

It's actually kinda crazy that people compare Prince and MJ. Prince just has sooooo much more material, and some of it at least is a lot more inventive than anything I've heard from MJ, no matter how great of a performer and singer he was (and he was).

Prince, live on guitar, was mindblowing.

[Stormtron]

Sign o' the Times is my favorite Prince album and "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" is my favorite song of his.

[Digital Dad]

Porcupine Tree. I like almost everything I heard, which is a drop in the bucket.

 

In Absentia

Deadwing

Fear of a Blank Planet

 

For the Rush fan inside all of us. Lerxst even plays a solo on a track. I also like rhe Psychedic-ish period of the mid -90’s.

[Digital Dad]

Midnight Oil

 

In only have the RSL comp or whatever its called. Always felt it was worth getting albums by them but not quite sure what. Seems like I like the sound of the Blue Sky Mine, Diesel and Dust period. I just gotta take the plunge like I did 6 months ago with Tragically Hip.

Sometimes both in the same song like Lady Cab Driver. He was great at both topics just like Marvin Gaye.
