I haven't listened to enough of Neurosis to rank them unfortunately. Their new album is really good though.

\Deep Purple:

1. Deep Purple (the 3rd album)

 

EXCELLENT choice. That's my favorite album by them too. It's too often overlooked, probably because it's pre-Ian Gillan, but it's a great album. :yes: :ebert:

It's really starting to grow on me too.

I'd never heard them before, and it took me a while to get acquainted with their vocal style. Yesterday night I was awake doing bank bills and Bleeding the Pigs started and it was like - Wah, this is the right kind of music to get me through this s*it.
