• Top 40 from 2009

    6. Dez. 2009, 20:13 von Kevin_Raven

    So 2009 isn't quite over yet, but here is my top 40 artists chart for the past year, with short explanations for some of the artists:

    1 Dark Moor: 569 scrobbles
    Still my favorite band, the band that got me into power metal as well as metal in general.
    2 Blind Guardian: 489 scrobbles
    Maybe a bit artificially high on my charts because of the number of tracks in Nightfall in Middle Earth, but still deserving of a high spot.
    3 Dream Theater: 468 scrobbles
    Saw them in July in Asheville, and listened to Black Clouds & Silver Linings about a million times before the show.
    4 Queen: 466 scrobbles
    5 Helloween: 398 scrobbles
    6 Nine Inch Nails: 390 scrobbles
    I probably wouldn't have listened to NIN half as much if it wasn't for the fact that The Slip is free and Ghosts I-IV is really cheap. Thanks, Trent.
    7 Led Zeppelin: 385 scrobbles
    8 Opeth: 349 scrobbles
    Everyone should listen to Opeth. Even if you don't like metal.
    9 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: 342 scrobbles
    Easily the most metal artist on my charts.
    10 King Crimson: 298 scrobbles
    11 Machinae Supremacy: 263 scrobbles
    Another good free album, Deus Ex Machinae put this artist high on my charts.
    12 Extol: 250 scrobbles
    Listened to The Blueprint Dives a lot. If nobody told me, I would never be able to guess that they are the same band that made Burial, which is also great, but in a completely different way.
    13 Tool: 247 scrobbles
    14 Lacuna Coil: 245 scrobbles
    15 Iron Maiden: 230 scrobbles
    16 Holy Blood: 227 scrobbles
    Of the bands I started listening to in 2009 for the first time, I think Holy Blood is my favorite. I can't wait to hear Oskord once they release something...
    17 Nightwish: 222 scrobbles
    18 Talking Heads: 206 scrobbles
    19 Rush: 196 scrobbles
    20 Rhapsody of Fire: 190 scrobbles
    21 Yes: 188 scrobbles
    There used to be an artist image of Chris Squire with a zebra stripe jacket and triple neck bass with a caption that read something like: "Scientists have determined that it is physically impossible to find a picture more prog than this." That always made me laugh.
    22 Angra: 185 scrobbles
    23 JT Bruce: 164 scrobbles
    I have to say something for all the artists with free stuff - JT Bruce is great if you like technical instrumental prog metal. You can download three albums for free on Jamendo, and you can buy his latest (and best) album, Universica on his website.
    24 Sonata Arctica: 163 scrobbles
    25 Tourniquet: 153 scrobbles
    26 The Allman Brothers Band: 146 scrobbles
    27 Theatre of Tragedy: 142 scrobbles
    28 Antonio Vivaldi: 141 scrobbles
    I listened to a lot more "classical" music this year than I used to, which is something I'm happy about.
    29 Cynic: 138 scrobbles
    30 Narnia: 134 scrobbles
    31 Ensiferum: 127 scrobbles
    Saw them at Volume 11 Tavern in Raleigh in November (my car was hit and had to be towed along the way, forcing us to walk part of the way, but it was worth it).
    32 Frédéric Chopin: 120 scrobbles
    33 Depeche Mode: 118 scrobbles
    34 NESkimos: 112 scrobbles
    Their albums have tons of short songs, so they are a bit overrated on this chart. Video game cover bands are one of my guilty pleasures.
    35 ZAO: 109 scrobbles
    I've had The Fear Is What Keeps Us Here for years, but it wasn't until 2009 that I really started listening to it a lot. Usually I'm sort of turned off by metalcore, but I think Zao is pretty good regardless of their genre.
    36 XOC: 107 scrobbles
    Another video game band with lots of short songs and an unusually high number of scrobbles...
    37 Black Sabbath: 106 scrobbles
    37 VNV Nation: 106 scrobbles
    39 Johann Sebastian Bach: 103 scrobbles
    40 DragonForce: 101 scrobbles
    DragonForce? How did this get here... I guess when their new album came out I listened to it a lot.

    2010 predictions:
    Jazz Fusion - I've been listening to Billy Cobham and I'd like to hear more of this. I've always wanted to listen to more Jazz, but I've found it inaccessible. I think I'll enjoy fusion a bit more.

    Melodic Death - Since I like Ensiferum and Blackguard, I'd like to listen to more.

    Thrash - I really enjoyed Gama Bomb (another artist with a free album available on their website), and I've never really explored thrash metal outside of Metallica/Slayer/Megadeth.

    Less Power Metal - I'll probably keep listening to Dark Moor, Helloween, Blind Guardian, and the other artists I like, but I'll probably stop looking into new power metal bands in favor of some of the other genres I listed.

    Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.

    Step 5: If you like the game post your own!


    Right then, so here are the lyrics:

    3) My hopes are high

    7) Travelling again I know exactly how it's gonna end

    8) How can i know what you need

    9) Baby it dont matter, anyone can see the signs

    10) Memories consume, like opening the wound

    11) Charly says always tell your mummy before you go off somewhere

    12) She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge

    13) Hey pretty baby with the high heels on

    14) I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone

    15) There's only two types of people in the world

    16) It starts with one thing, I don't know why, It doesn't even matter how hard you try

    17) Our battles are repetitious

    18) I like girls, they like me

    19) Laid back, laid back, laid back we'll give you laid back

    20) Wake up, grab a brush and put on a little make up

    21) Do you enjoy your sight inside?

    22) The looking glass so shiny and new

    23) Bat your eyes girl, be other worldly

    24) I don't know where we went so wrong

    25) To get up and walk away would be too easy

    26) On and on the rain will fall

    27) You think you got it all worked out

    28) Please don't stop the music

    29) We soldier on through hells high water

    30) I'm talkin bout love...all my girls stand in a circle

    31) I wish you could see me, i'm flying, still don't know how

    32) We'll do it all, everything, on our own

    33) I need something to believe in

    34) Pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything

    35) Somethings tearing me down and down

    36) I cannot find a way to describe it

    37) There you see her sitting there across the way

    38) I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh

    39) You gotta help me out, it's all a blur last night

    40) And i'm alright standing in the streetlights here

    41) Where do I begin with this life we're living in

    42) Meet me at the hotel room

    43) All i ever wanted was to see you smiling

    44) I climbed up a mountain and looked off the edge

    45) I fall asleep by the telephone

    46) The sea's evaporating

    47) Aftermath, there she goes, shaking that ass on the floor

    48) Break me down, you got a lovely face

    49) Deep in the bosom of the gently night

    50) This ain't a song for the broken hearted

  • 40 Questions About Your Top 50

    3. Dez. 2009, 0:01 von NH3Maser

    Disclaimer: my top 50 don't really reflect my current taste in music all that well. I'm working on changing that.

    1. How did you get into 31?
    In Flames. I was looking for a good metal instrumental, and someone recommended SpielenMan Made God.

    2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
    Ah, Cynic's Veil of Maya. This may be my favorite album opener of all time.

    3. What's your favorite lyric by 29?
    "Bow to the savior of the fearful and desperate / Shepherd of deception / Prophet of infection / Behold the Xenochrist!". Awesome outro. The Faceless were the ones who convinced me that Deathcore wasn't all shit.

    4. What is your favourite album by 49?
    No contest, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). The first hip-hop album I ever liked.

    5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
    Mastodon. All five of their full-lengths. I also bough the ATHF movie soundtrack just for Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife.

    6. What is your favorite song by 50?
    Demons and Wizards. Probably Fiddler On The Green.

    7. Is there a song by 4 that makes you sad?
    I'm pretty sure that there's a Beatles song for every emotion. I'll go with Julia.

    8. What is your favorite song by 15?
    Tough one, because The Doors have a lot of amazing tracks, but I'll say SpielenThe Unknown Soldier.

    9. What is your favorite song by 5?
    Kalmah is another tough one. Doubtful About It All, maybe?

    10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
    The Jimi Hendrix Experience, of course. Off the top of my head, SpielenAngel.

    11. What is your favorite album by 40?
    Definitely Caught Somewhere in Time. Where Iron Maiden peaked in my opinion.

    12. What is your favorite song by 10?
    Ensiferum. Has to be SpielenInto Battle. The guitar solo... rock.

    13. What is a good memory you have involving 33?
    Explosions in the Sky. Too many to count, mostly involving psychedelics.

    14. What is your favorite song by 37?
    Radiohead. Surprisingly, I guess it's SpielenMeeting In The Aisle, a random instrumental B-side off of some EP.

    15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
    Fuck yeah Necrophagist. SpielenTo Breathe in a Casket always makes me glad that I'm not currently buried alive, I guess.

    16. How many times have you seen 24 live?
    Lamb of God - just once, in LA. Not that great a show.

    17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
    Nirvana. Almost certainly SpielenSmells Like Teen Spirit.

    18. What is your favorite album by 11?
    Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.

    19. Who is a favorite member of 1?
    Death? The obvious answer, Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P.).

    20. Have you ever seen 14 live?
    Nope, never seen Joe Satriani.

    21. What is a good memory involving 45?
    Sir Mix-A-Lot? Well, this is embarrassing. The time the Pitt band played SpielenJump on It at halftime at some football game, maybe? (This is one of the artists covered in the above disclaimer, by the way.)

    22. What is your favorite song by 16?
    Metallica. Easily The Call of Ktulu.

    23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47?
    Black Sabbath. Dunno, likely SpielenIron Man.

    24. What is your favorite album by 21?
    Not much of a selection as far as Dethklok albums go. I liked Dethalbum II better than the first one.

    25. What is your favorite song by 18?
    Pixies. Hmm... I Bleed.

    26. What is the first song you ever heard by 38?
    Guns N' Roses. First I can remember is SpielenWelcome To The Jungle.

    27. What is your favorite lyric by 3?
    Sigh... Children of Bodom. Who knows, it's not like the lyrics to any of their songs are distinguishable anyways. Maybe "Warheart! With no compassion or love / Warheart! Hate your fellow as yourself" from Warheart.

    28. What is your favorite song by 2?
    Sublime. A lot of great songs, but I'll go with SpielenBoss D.J..

    29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32?
    Slayer. I think it was SpielenAngel of Death, which I still regard as their best song.

    30. What is your favorite song by 8?
    Wow, this is a tough choice for Led Zeppelin. I have to say Nobody's Fault But Mine, but this is very very close.

    31. How many times have you seen 17 live?
    I have no idea what OutKast is doing in this position. Never.

    32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?
    Yep, nearly all of Tenacious D's songs will do the trick. SpielenDouble Team always cracks me up.

    33. What is your favorite album by 12?
    God Dethroned. Easily Bloody Blasphemy.

    34. What is the worst song by 46?
    Where to start with Styx? I used to like SpielenMr. Roboto, but all it does now is raise my urge to kill.

    35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34?
    Elvis. Hound Dog, I guess?

    36. What is your favorite album by 42?
    Immortal Technique. Revolutionary Vol. 2 is amazing.

    37. How many times have you seen 39 live?
    Jay-Z, never.

    38. What is your favorite album by 36?
    Also a pretty sparse selection for Gorillaz. Between the two, I'll say Demon Days.

    39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?
    The Who. This is unusual, but the first one I can remember is SpielenChristmas.

    40. What is your favorite album by 7?
    Queen, A Night At The Opera.
  • My favourite albums without any order

    2. Dez. 2009, 23:59 von tobi116

    David Bowie - Earthling (1997)
    David Bowie is an incredibly versatile artist who reinvented himself countless times during his 40years+ long career. His album Earthling is one of his most experimental works featuring lots of industrial-like technostomping beats, heavy guitars and synthies from hell. In my opinion his creativity was never bigger than on this one.
    Play: SpielenLittle Wonder


    The Clash - Sandinista!(1981)
    The Clash were a lot more open minded to other musical styles than other punkbands from their time - their best known album London Calling combines reggae, ska and the punkrock from their previous two albums. Sandinista! continues that way and is a two cd-36 track-packet full of ideas tearing down all genre boundaries. The mixture of punk, genuine reggae/dub, funk, jazz and pop makes this album a classic that probably never gets boring.
    Play: SpielenThe Magnificent Seven


    Sparks - Hello Young Lovers(2006)
    When a band that has been around since the late 60s releases an album nowadays the result is usually not what one would call interesting(The Rolling Stones anyone?). If that band is called Sparks - a band starting with "glamkindofrock" (Kimono My House, Propaganda) then developing into electronica(and, by the way releasing the incedibly influencial classic album No.1 In Heaven) from that to pop(SpielenWhen Do I Get to Sing 'My Way') from pop to baroque pop using huge walls of synth-strings(Lil' Beethoven) - the result is always worth a listen.
    Their 2006 released album Hello Young Lovers shows the peak of their creativity combining the pompous sound of their previous album with rock guitars(done by Dean Menta, Faith No More) and the quirky songwriting of their earlier works that influenced countless bands such as Queen who even were Sparks' supportband in their early days.. A grand opus everyone should give a listen to.
    Play: SpielenDick Around


    The Doors - Waiting for the Sun (1968)
    The imho best album by the legendary acid rock band from LA with Jim Morrison on vocals. The psychadelic elements that already shone through the first two albums are dominating this album. It is full of interesting ideas like spanish guitars on Spanish Caravan and poppy synthies on Hello I Love You.
    Play: Not to Touch the Earth


    The Living End - Roll On (2001)
    The three-piece band from Australia started off as a Stray Cats coverband which clearly influenced Chris Cheneys incredible guitar style as well as the use of the upright bass which makes them different from other modern Punkrockbands. Their debut was one of the most successful australian albums for decades and their liveperformances are among the best there are. Roll On was their second album. It combined their fresh and poweful approach on music with a much improved songwriting. It is their most complicated album to date and probably their heaviest one. The versatile songwriting and structures and the raw instrumentals make this their strongest album.
    SpielenBlood on Your Hands


    The Damned - The Black Album (1980)
    The Damned were the first uk punkband ever to release a single, an album as well as touring the US. Their first three albums are punkrock classics with hits such as SpielenNeat Neat Neat, SpielenSmash It Up and SpielenNew Rose. Their 1980 "black" album features the Damned in their most psychadelic period before becoming a goth -band. An incredibly interesting album with 12 tracks, partly beeing connected what makes up one big work, ending in the 17 Minute epic Curtain Call. Can't dare to skip a single track on it.
    Play: Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde


    Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones (1983)
    Theres no real genre you could put Tom Waits in - basicly its kind of Blues / Jazz / Rock using unusual instruments like Marimbas etc and featuring his incredible raw voice. The trilogy of Rain Dogs, Franks Wild Years and Swordfishtrombones are Toms best known and most appreciated albums but his output has a constant high level so it is hard to pick a single album out of it. My choice was Swordfishtrombones(followed by Bone Machine) because it has the most atmospheric feel in it and barely leaves my stereo.

    Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros - Global a Go-go (2001)
    Basicly the second album by The Clash former frontman Joe Strummer with his band The Mescaleros has many aspects that his old band was famous for - a wild mix of styles and genres. But this album brings this approach to the maximum: its a musical journey round the world featuring folk rock, world music(Bhindi Bagee), Reggae, oriental sounds etc etc. Opens up your mind!

    The Beatles - The White Album (1968)
    Everybody knows the Beatles - but they surely had more to show than the overplayed Let It Be, Yesterday and Yellow Submarine. With Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band they released their most psychadelic album which got voted for the best album ever by the Rolling Stone magazine. The follow-up was The White Album: a double album featuring some of the most beautiful sons The Beatles have ever written, along with classic rock'n'roll bits, along with weird and experimental stuff.
    Probably their most versatile album and in my opinion their best.

    Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)
    The first album by Pink Floyd is the only one that was mostly written by the genious of Syd Barrett before he got replaced by David Gilmour. The sound is raw and psychadelic as well as somehow childish with lots of interesting harmonies and noises. A classic.

    Muse - Black Holes and Revelations






    Fantastic album, if not their best. Containing some Queen influences in general harmonic structures and Jeff Buckley influences in ballads, yet at the same time pouring you over with the unmistakable essence of Muse.

    All of their albums are great, actually. They’re one of the few high quality bands around nowadays that always bring you ambitious material worthwhile to listen to. Matt Bellamy’s falsetto soars, retaining its power throughout the whole record. Guitars sound forceful, but airy, and the drum patterns out-of-this-world bombastic. Melodies entwine and entangle you in them. It’s gradiose, a bit progressive and adventurous, but ultimately captivating everything-falls-into-its-place rock album.

    Muse are a huge talent, whatever you may think of their political or apocalyptic lyrical themes. No mediocre songwriting in here, it’s all polished craft and artistry. They also possess a little thing called self-irony. This album is a sexy, epic modern classic - I’m in love.

    9/10
