I thought the whole point of running these things was to get more likes?

If so, it didn't work for me. Maybe it was dark mode that did me in.

If it's dark mode that did you in then I don't want to be right.

Wait. What?

I like dark mode. I've changed all my screens to night reader. I can't look at a white screen anymore and I can't imagine how I did so until around 2022 or so. Argh. No wonder my eyes stink.

 

[rockaction]

This was on my provisional list for a long time but I figured it would be fine without my help

I'd say that a I wasted a vote but I can't think of a replacement that would have cracked the list. Although I have to admit that Jimmy Cliff took the miracle of zamboni ranking it extraordinarily high on his list so . . .

Well, it was more so that his posts were showing up in white font to both dark mode and normal mode readers.

I understand that (I think). I think he tried to adjust the color a few times and it wasn't suitable, IIRC, but I was getting suspended off and on through that time period so I don't necessary have the clearest or cleanest memory.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

We'll go with "As" from Songs In The Key Of Life in wikkid's honor.

Can someone add it to the playlist? Thanks.

Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out was a double A side in the UK. In the US, We Can Work It Out was the A side and Day Tripper was the B side. Probably because of the drug references in the latter. Of course, the Beatles were so big that many DJs played both sides of their singles anyway.

I still have this Capitol Records orange/yellow 45 - it was the first music purchase of my life at age 8. I bought it at the local McCrory's (like a Woolworth - lol, that help any of you younger people??)

It's in my keepsake box in the garage. It was played on my Roy Rogers logoed record player. And I had received "The Chipmunks Sing The Beatles Hits" album the previous Christmas a couple months before.

I remember Woolworths

Woolworth's five and dime. Whatever happened to department stores you could get a cheeseburger at?

As a kid the highlight of shopping with the family was a stop at either Woolworths or Kresge's counter for burgers and shakes.

 

[turnjose7]

I saw them at Giants Stadium opening for Aerosmith with Deep Purple in the middle. They hadn’t really broken that big yet but the crowd on the floor went nuts for them.

Holy **** that had to be one hell of a show.

They billed it as “Three Generations of Metal” although arguably none of them are Metal.

I assume "Three Generations of Fairly Heavy Blues-Based Hard Rock," while definitely catchy, didn't fit on the concert t-shirts.

Also not sure that 3 bands starting within a decade and a half of each other truly qualifies as three generations, but whatever.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Or I can start talking about how amazing Devin Townsend is

I'll piggyback on this.

Everyone should listen to Ziltoid the Omniscient right?

Concept album “ about an extraterrestrial being named Ziltoid from the planet Ziltoidia 9. Ziltoid travels to Earth in search of "your universe's ultimate cup of coffee””

It’s heavy (like imagine an alien invasion ship battle set to a drum and bass assault ) but mostly clean vocals

He also played pretty much every instrument (programmable drum kit), did voices, production, everything

Just a great accomplishment

Or check out one of his 25+ other albums. Very diverse.

Heh, Ziltoid is actually about the last thing I would recommend to someone who has never heard him. You have to already be all-in on Devin IMO to get the cartoonish and whacky vibe of Ziltoid. It's like Zappa doing full-on metal and cranked up to 11.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Maybe tonight Metal After Dark should feature a few recommended albums since this is an album countdown?

My daughter has a friend over tonight so I will be hiding and listening to music while watching the Marniers dominate. I'll even try Dan's weird alien **** he is talking about.

 

[kupcho1]

gotta go with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" coupled with "A Day in the Life"...as mentioned above if the pairing is allowed for the playlist.

So we're going with more than one song per album?

Sweet. I was thinking I'd have a hard time of it when we got to my #1. Now Sophie's choice need not be made.

 

[kupcho1]

I don't have a strong opinion about it, but I would not characterize GNR as metal. I would think hard rock.

Sure the outfits were a little out of the ordinary, but I always saw them as a boy band.

 

[KarmaPolice]

However, this morning is Aja (never listened to), Songs in the Key of Life, and whatever else pops up in the top 25.

I mainly mentioned it because of this thread since it’s really complete as an album, but yeah, I could see someone giving up pretty quickly

AI gives some options

A decision tree for exploring Devin Townsend's discography
Devin Townsend is known for his incredibly diverse and extensive musical output, making it challenging for new listeners to know where to begin. To help navigate his vast discography, here's a decision tree to guide your exploration based on your musical preferences:
Start Here
What kind of music do you generally enjoy?

1. Heavy and aggressive: Go to Option 1.
2. Progressive and experimental (but not necessarily heavy): Go to Option 2.
3. Calmer, more mellow, or ambient: Go to Option 3.

Option 1: Heavy and aggressive

• Do you prefer raw, intense extreme metal with industrial influences?
  • Check out Strapping Young Lad albums like:
    • City
    • Alien
    • The New Black
• Do you prefer a mix of heavy and progressive metal with some theatricality?
  • Consider albums like:
    • Deconstruction
    • Ziltoid the Omniscient
    • Alien

Option 2: Progressive and experimental

• Are you looking for expansive, atmospheric progressive metal with intricate arrangements?
  • Start with albums like:
    • Ocean Machine: Biomech
    • Accelerated Evolution
    • Infinity
    • Terria
• Do you enjoy a blend of progressive rock, hard rock, and a sense of humor?
  • Explore:
    • Empath
    • Epicloud
• Are you intrigued by darker, more atmospheric and experimental sounds?
  • Check out albums such as:
    • Casualties of Cool
    • Ki

Option 3: Calmer, more mellow, or ambient

• Are you looking for relaxing, atmospheric, and ethereal sounds?
  • Give a listen to:
    • Ghost
    • Casualties of Cool
• Do you enjoy more focused ambient music, sometimes with chaotic elements?
  • Explore:
    • Devlab
    • The Hummer
    • The Puzzle

Remember: This is just a starting point. Devin Townsend's music is vast and interconnected, and you'll likely discover new favorites by exploring beyond these initial suggestions.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Oh yeah saw him live a few months ago, great show and really shows off that vocal range (5 octaves IIRC)

 

[FarFromHome]

It's weird. I have zero interest in listening to GNR today. Having said that. There was a stretch when I had em on repeat. Appetite was just a ground breaking record that defined an era of I don't take sh1t from anyone. Ha ha

This all sounds like code for "just listen to his best album, which is obviously Terria."

Born to Run is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on August 25, 1975, through Columbia Records. Co-produced by Springsteen with his manager Mike Appel and the producer Jon Landau, its recording took place in New York. Following the commercial failures of his first two albums, the album marked Springsteen's effort to break into the mainstream and create a commercially successful album. Springsteen sought to emulate Phil Spector's Wall of Sound production, leading to prolonged sessions with the E Street Band lasting from January 1974 to July 1975; six months alone were spent working on the title track.

Don’t forget Puscifer
Not metal though

I've listened to all the albums. Not my thing. Neither is Townsend, but I've never heard of the alien album, so i will give a listen (or at least a start )

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Here’s a few others I’d recommend

Dopethrone by Electric Wizard - Doom / Stoner Metal

When The Kite String Pops by Acid Bath - 90s Sludge Metal with a huge cult following. Reminds me of Sabbath with Jim Morrison on vocals but some screaming too

Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation - kind of a progressive death metal album, definitely meant to be listened to as a full album

I'm no Springsteen fan and don't have a say here, but I'd be all over Jungleland for the playlist. Just an immense song - IMO Clarence puts forth one of the best, most emotional sax performances in rock history here.

I could offer up a song suggestion, but @Dennis Castro would probably pick something else just to spite me. But the joke would be on him, as there really is no wrong choice on this album.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

For schtick, I was really tempted to add Sweet Child O Mine

My top three were: Welcome to the Jungle, My Michelle and Mr. Brownstone.

Coinflip between My Michelle and Mr. Brownstone came up: My Michelle

 

[KarmaPolice]

It's an obvious pick but Born to Run is a perfect rock song. Love it.

I'll say that about on one of the debuts I expect to see coming up. Love that one even more if possible.

Of course I had sort of a ninth-grade thing for a girl named Michelle and this album helped soundtrack my life back then so . . . I don't know what that means, but I thought of her bluish eyeshadow just now, and oof did I grow up in the most upper-est lower middle class town in the late '80s, man.

@Dr. Octopus

1,476. Fly Me Courageous - Drivin N Cryin

The title track is one of my all-time favorites but the entire album is great southern rock. The rollicking "Around the Block" starts the album off in full force and it never lets down.

I mentioned my Morning Mantra playlist in the last MAD Artists thread and "Let's Go Dancing" which speaks to vast underdogs not backing down from superior forces was one of the 9 songs on it: "Lets go dancing...said the firefly to the hurricane".

565. You Had to Be There: Recorded Live – Jimmy Buffet

This album came out in 1978, and was before all the Parrothead stuff. It was recorded at the Fox in Atlanta in '78, and he was playing with a broken leg, which he changed some lyrics in songs to add that in. It's one of those records I've had on vinyl, cassette, and cd. I love it. This cast is no blast, but it's coming off fast, and I feel like I'm pulling a trailer, Yeah!

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I am very surprised that Jailbreak only got 1 vote. Did Thin Lizzy get completely shut out of the countdown??

Of the Top 350, yes.

 

[kupcho1]

565. Monk's Dream - Theolonious Monk

I understand why I'm the only one that ranked Monk. From Google AI:

The term "discordant" in relation to Thelonious Monk's music, and specifically his album "Monk's Dream", refers to the unconventional and sometimes jarring harmonies and rhythms he employed, which can sound dissonant or even "wrong" to some listeners. This was a deliberate stylistic choice, not a result of technical errors. Monk's music was highly original and defied easy categorization, even for those familiar with the jazz idiom.

Uncle Humuna is assuredly beaming with pride for that selection, wherever he is these days.

More Opeth, though! Is that your favorite, @Ghost Rider ?

It's usually either that or Damnation. I must have been in a more rocking mood the day I did my list, which is why I went with Ghost Reveries as my lone Opeth album in my 70.
