they came out with an anthology last year that is quite good.

 

I think it's free for those of you with Amazon Prime

I think my favorite thing right now is Sirius/XM Shade 45 but during the afternoon with Jude and Lord Sear. The best thing is this thing called Hate It Or Love It where an average Joe Blow trying to make it in rap/hip hop plays his track then people call in to like it or bash it. It's unrated so it is like a Jerry Springer episode of ghetto goodness.

For any of you electro heads out there, this mix is excellent. Turn your bass up a bit and enjoy

Hammerfall.  The first band I ever discovered online.  Back in the days of the 33.6 modem there was an online radio station called Hard Radio.  They mostly played European heavy metal.  They are definitely not for everyone.  Similar to Iron Maiden, "Dungeon and Dragons" metal.  Legacy of Kings and Renegade are two top notch albums IMO.

 

Hammerfall - Back to Back (Pretty Maids Cover) was the song I heard.  I spent weeks trying to find one of their albums with no luck.  I eventually was able to order it for $40 from Germany.  After a few years they gained enough popularity in the US (I think probably thanks to fledgling online radio) that you could usually find their albums at the bigger music stores like Amoeba.

 

 

My personal favorite is probably Living in Victory off of Renegade.

I'd tell you all but you've never heard of this band. I'm so cool

 

is it Hammerfall?

[nate]

In the day of music on the internet I doubt there are many bands people still haven't heard of in a genre they care for unless that band really doesn't want to be known.

like hammerfall?

[nate]

I would imagine most fans of the genre are aware of them.

Disraeli Gears - Cream album (1967). Simply amazing group by one of the best groups of the 60s. It's a shame their egos got in the way.

I'm not a fan of a lot of newer music, but I have recently discovered Porcupine Tree and dig them a lot. Don't have access to YouTube at work, so I will have to post videos later. Check out some of their earlier stuff (early-mid 90s) for long compositional, progressive pieces, and some of their later stuff (most recent album was 2009's The Incident) for shorter, tighter (but harder) songs.

 

Those of you who like bands like Tool, Pink Floyd, Rush, etc, should like them.

Thanks to Nate I'm listening to Lateralus as I type.

"In Absentia" is my favorite PT album by far, but "I Drive the Hearse" is my favorite song. Will post a video later.

Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes

 

One of my go to albums

[Mark68]

So, I basically listen to my Pandora channels...I have 44 of them...including the bands I mentioned above, plus others like Iron Maiden, Deftones, Metallica, Dream Theater, Radiohead, Muse, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Pixies, Epica...

 

One band I like that probably not many (if any) on this board have heard of is the Tea Party, out of Canada. They're huge there and in Oz, but never had much of an impact in the States. Their music ranges from heavy pop to Zep-like Eastern Blues to industrial-N I N-lite. Jeff Martin, their singer (and guitarist) sounds very much like the spawn of Jim Morrison.

[Glen]

As promised, my favorite Porcupine Tree song - it's got some Pink Floyd influences to be sure, but the lyrics really hit me.  Beautiful song.

 

 

 

Was it Cezero that mentioned Spock's Beard before?  I just got a notice that they have something new coming out in August.  I think losing NIck DiVirgilio has made them a different and less entertaining band.

You're so emo
