I have some music, but as far as collections go it certainly isn't much and some of it (like the Gorillaz, say) I listen to only once in a green moon.

I've been browsing HMV and Virgin, but I can't really decide what to pick up. The "Metal" sections seem to include a lot of stuff that isn't actually metal. Like the OOT of albums, it gets all the rejects from the other sections that fall into the grey area under it's juridstriction.

So, I'm currently loving the S&M Metallica CD I picked up 2 weeks ago and some of the newer Iron Maiden stuff (Dance of Death album etc).

Now I don't want to shell out 15 quid for a CD that turns out to be a bunch of emos screaming down their mikes about how some girl shoved one of their ********* into a hosepipe yet it doesn't compare to their bleeding heart (because there was a queue of people waiting to stab them...).

So to the point; what's some good stuff?

Also anything like REM is welcome, REM is always good.

I've been listening to the Mortal Kombat: Annihilation soundtrack lately. I don't really pay attention to the new stuff anymore.

I have that entire album on my iPod. Great techno/remix/dance stuff!!

FTFY.

P2P not allowed at Uni, copyright issues.

I'll have a look at some Foo Fighters if I can get a hold of any. Got the newest Chillis CD. Who are 3 days grace?

Three Days Grace.

Sorry for the Myspace link, but it's the quickest way to hear 3-4 full songs by any given band. All four they have up are kickass

Remy Zero is AWESOME!!!! I have their mainstream album as well as their bootleg stuff. I have even managed to ctach them in concert 4 times. Great band!

I also particularly enjoy the song called Running up that Hill which I believe is Kate Bush/someone else. Someone here might have the link.

Napster is pretty good these days. It's not P2P, you pay $10 US dollars a month for a subscription, unlimited streaming, 99cents per track burned, and they have several million songs in their database. I'd strongly recommend it over any of it's p2p cousins.

However, there are certain labels/bands you just won't find there because they're not wise to the way today's industry works. I like to call them musical dinosaurs. Metallica is one of them.

Yes yes but Lars is still a drumming god. From a musical standpoint anyway. Band's position on music sharing just sucks.

You can compare no one to the mightiness that is The Who. But in musical talent and ability, Lars is leaps and bounds ahead of moon just based on the double bass factor alone.

Now the one armed drummer ...thats talent. Pantera I believe.

I would put Neil Peart on my top ten list. Very good drummer imo

You were right about Def Leopard. I could not think for the life of me the name of his band.

Keith Moon would be #2 on the list right behind Lars. Are you a drummer?

In case no one else suggested it already, this thread urgently requires more Rush.

Also, Midicronica is quite good, although lately I've been listening to a lot of STP.

No, but I stayed at a Holiday inn Express last night?

I played violin for 10 years, and saxophone for 9. They overlapped somewhere in the middle, with me playing saxophone in high school. My saxophones are still sitting in their cases in my bedroom. I've been considering getting stands for them, with my theory being that if they're set up, I'd pick 'em up and play for maybe 10, 15 minutes a day. Playing music is one of those things that I miss doing, but never really think about unless I'm already busy and don't have the opportunity to play (such as when I'm at work). I briefly considered going to school for music education, but somehow decided that electrical engineering would be better. /facepalm
