Okay, I'm totally looking this up because of my recommendation:AgentNein said:
The New York Dolls - One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This (2006, Roadrunner Records)
The Dolls were glam-punk pioneers back in the seventies, and even though most of the original band is gone (the only remaining original members are David Johansen on vocals and Sylvain Sylvain on rhythm guitar and backup vocals), the music remains. Johansen has recruited new blood in the form of Steve Conte on lead guitar (Conte has worked with Yoko Kanno on a lot of anime soundtracks, and also leads his own band Steve Conte and the Crazy Truth) and Sami Yaffa on bass (Yaffa is best known for his work with Hanoi Rocks), incorporating blues, rock, and a little jazz. There are also several well-known guest artists (Michael Stipe, Bo Diddley, and Iggy Pop) on this, the Dolls' first new album in nearly 30 years.
Standout tracks: 'Take A Good Look At My Good Looks', 'Maimed Happiness', 'Dancing On The Lip Of A Volcano'.
As a Mike Patton fan I have to put forward:CTU_Loscombe said:
Peeping Tom by Peeping Tom.
It's his big collaboration album, and don't be scared folks, because it's not very metal at all, but I love every track.
It features such a wide range of artists, Massive Attack, Norah Jones, Rahzel, Bebel Giblerto and yet somehow works.
I seem to remember him saying it was his attempt at a pop album, from someone who doesn't like pop music.
I'll describe it to you then, as it's quite a good video:RRilef said:
A boy plays with two dolls near the water. His very manly father notices this, gets angry and throws the dolls into the water. Another boy saw it happen and later fishes the dolls out of the water. The father then makes his son join a soccer team, so he can learn to be a real man. One of the team-mates is the boy who fished up the dolls, and he gives them back. Next there's a soccer game, with lots of people watching. Our boys team wins and the team celebrates with a meat pile. When they stand up again, the two boys stay on the ground, kissing. Next are a lot of baffled or angry faces from the crowd (even that of Sigur Ros' singer, he's gay himself). You see a flash forward or a flash back with the two boys frolicking through nature, being happy together. And then they are back on the soccer field, being dragged apart by their parents. It ends with the image of two dolls flying through the air.
Gorillaz: Demon Days. Its an increadible blend of music generes and instruments similar to a modern day Beatals album. The songs are creative, the beats are great, and it's overall an excellent album to listen to.
Wow, I figured this was already on page eight, so I'd pick a couple of the more obscure of my favorite albums and then check through the thread to see of either of them hadn't been mentioned. Somehow neither of them have, so you get two recommendations from me:
Nattfödd, by Finntroll
and
Secret of the Runes, by Therion

Strung Out and A Wilhelm Scream got a mention :O Great bands.rt052192 said:
People already said Aenima, Lateralus and 10,000 Days which made me sad. So I would probably go with some Porcupine Tree, namely In Absentia. Each song is a joy to listen to, and ends brilliantly.
My other contribution to this would probably be Breakthroughs in Modern Art by Six Gallery. It's just something I love and seems fairly unknown. If anyone else on The Escapist recognises this you are instantly my friend.
Tunnel of Love by Bruce Springsteen. It has a sound unlike anything he's had on any other album of his, it's like a new artist. (Not that there was anything wrong with the old artist.) And in Uncut Magazine's Springsteen Special's rating of the album, they said there wasn't a single bad song on it. Well, duh!
Van Canto- Tribe of force
Germain metal band with 5 singers and a drummer.
3 of the 5 singers are the guitars and it is freaking awesome.
look up sing a metal song and allow your ears to orgasm

Muse's, in my opinion best album, Absolution.
Nirvana - Nevermind
And of course, Them Crooked Vultures first and at the moment only album which is named after them. They have a second album soon though

High on Fire: Death is This Communion
This is my favorite album by my favorite band, and with good reason. It has the heavy riffs and plodding rhythmic section of their previous work, but with slightly clearer and more even production as well as a significant increase in the overall speed of the music.
