fritz44 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the best album of the year is Rockford by Cheap Trick. It also has a great cover, but that's a different thread. Don't forget - ROCKFORD - CHEAP TRICK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 As much as I love Tool, 10,000 Days is just lacking something for me. If you don't mind some screaming, the new Mastodon album Blood Mountain smokes it as far as "prog metal" goes... BUT, I know how a lot of Tool fans are so yeah...

tangy Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ozric Tentacles- The floors too far away. I finally picked it up and despite numerous member changes the new disc is still Ed Wynne at his finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuppetKing2112 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The Wolfmother album was enjoyable the first few times I listened to it, but it got old really fast. It all sounds essentially the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all sounds essentially the same. I agree it's derivitive to the nth degree, but I still love it. The first time I put it on in the car after buying it I just laughed when the solo in 'Witchcraft' came on. It's like "OK guys, we've covered everyone from Zep and Sabbath to The White Stripes......SHIT, we forgot Tull.......OK, my best mate's sister plays a mean Ron Burgandy Jazz Flute......Quick, call her up!!!".

Stormtron Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Personally, most of those bands that do the whole 70s rock thing today annoy the hell out of me, Wolfmother included. At least they're not as bad as Jet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniversary editions of albums count as they either have concert DVDs with them or new 5.1 mixes or lost concerts and demos on another CD. Your not getting deep into the music dude... Thats all radio crap you just listed...There are soooo many bands that people don't see and hear...sooo much stuff that is under-played and under-appreciated...it makes me sick!

Mandalorian Hunter Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I'm not sure if it's album of the year, but i HIGHLY recommend, even if it is by an older artist Steve Hackett - Wild Orchids Without a doubt in my mind, the best progressive release of the year.

I just heard some of Mars Volta's stuff and it is very good and am considering buying their albums at some point. I am working at an indy record store in Florida called Sounds Good Music and my boss intro'd me to Mars Volta and some local blues dudes in the Florida area which are great but are getting ignored in favor of what the crap labels are pushing! Jet I just don't get what is great about them. Evanescene is the nu-metal Portishead. Amy Lee and Beth Gibbons both whine and cry and should be banished from Earth.

ProgRocker Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 It was really hard to narrow this down, but here it goes... 1. Beck - The Information 2. Tool - 10,000 Days 3. Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death 4. Muse - Black Holes And Revelations 5. The Mars Volta - Amputechture Honorable mentions: Keane "Under The Iron Sea", Thom Yorke "The Eraser", Adrian Belew "Side Three", David Gilmour "On An Island", The Flaming Lips "At War With The Mystics", Goo Goo Dolls "Let Love In", Belle & Sebastian "The Life Pursuit" QUOTE Evanescene is the nu-metal Portishead. Amy Lee and Beth Gibbons both whine and cry and should be banished from Earth. Oh I know. I just downloaded the new Evanescence album, just to see what all the fuss is about, and...well...I couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about. It's the most boring album I've ever listened to.
