Braintree Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I've been on the internet a long time and have posted in threads just like this for decades. Wish I could find what I said back in high school to see if it's consistent (or cringe-wrothy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 yeah, you don't want to see them old skeletons. I probably would've said NIN's The Fragile or something, which to be fair is still a stellar album imo but when you broaden your horizons and get a taste of everything else out there it comes nowhere near #1. it's a total gateway album though, in that it exposes the silly teenage ear to all these interesting production styles and ideas. that, Massive Attack's Mezzanine, and Radiohead's Kid A were all gateway albums for me in that sense - new sounds I hadn't heard before.

I see what you mean about gateway album. I probably would have said something like KMFDM - Nihil, PIG - Wrecked, or Sister Machine Gun - The Torture Technique back in '98. I still think those are good albums, but didn't exactly supply what I wanted ultimately. Once I heard Go Plastic I remember thinking "this is the kind of music I want to make" since it hit on so many things that I liked. So I'm not sure if it's worth listing since I'm still changing all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perunamuusi Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Pretty solid lists from zaphod and D~lo. I just worry about what Zaphod's Chinese Mother would make of all this decadent Western nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Queens of The Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf The last truly great QOTSA album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Weird as a pretty big fan of Kyuss I could never get on with QOTSA. I don't really like Josh Homme tbh, for reasons I can't be bothered to pinpoint, so when he became frontman I never really got on board with them. Then loads of casual pop music listeners I knew of were suddenly bang into them, which was pretty much the immediate death knell for the Queens of the Stoneage for me!! (hahah I'm not so much like that nowadays) Not dissing your opinion just having a beer and typing a few thoughts. @zaphod I listened to that Deepchord Presents Echospace this morning and really liked it (as I do Basic Channel BCD) (This thread turned out to be pretty cool after groaning like a lost wildebeest when it first appeared!!)
