Seems pointless to me, but that's just how he handles his 🙂

Here is why buying CDs actually makes sense:
1. Sound quality. I don't just listen to music to have background noise; I listen to enjoy it, and you simply can't get that experience from an MP3. Honestly, if you have a 5.1 surround sound setup at home and you're only using it for MP3s, you might as well throw it out—or better yet, give it to me.

Please, do enlighten me: how exactly are you listening to music in 5.1 if it wasn't specifically recorded for a 5.1 CD or DVD?

The best all... of all things??
I have never seen words arranged quite like this before; I honestly can't make heads or tails of them... could you perhaps translate that for us? Any chance?
thanks

Any instrumental album is basically a total burnout...

This list is solid, but you definitely need to add Folsom Prison Blues, Ring of Fire, San Quentin, Delia's Gone, Bird on a Wire, 13, Rowboat, Hung My Heart (or maybe Head, I can't recall perfectly), Hurt, and finally, Devil Came Back to Georgia... Sorry, I got carried away since you already set such a high bar.😁

I'm also into Hip Hop and electronic stuff—DJ Shadow, Cypress Hill, dälek, The Roots, DJ Spooky, plus some Dub and Drum 'n' Bass.

As for metal, I lean toward Sludge and Stoner vibes like Bongzilla, Crowbar, Eyehategod, Iron Monkey, Kyuss, Boris, and Acid Bath. Even Slayer works for me without any issues; they really hit the spot.😁
ISIS, man, they're easily the best band in the world, haha.

On the rock and blues side: Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Hawkwind, Hendrix, Buddy Guy (nothing beats a great blues riff), and Corrosion of Conformity.🙂

Regarding fast metal and hardcore: The Dillinger Escape Plan (specifically the Mike Patton era), and Phantoms immediately.
Rykers, S.O.D., Hatebreed, Mastodon.

For the "weird" bands: Estradasphere and Mr. Bungle.

And honestly, the ultimate driving album has to be Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf... yeah.

Give me all these albums and I'll drive you to the edge of the world if needed.😁

Zappa is just my handle; I am not actually Zappa.

that simple👋

It seems you have either never eaten anything intelligent or you simply lack imagination.

Or perhaps you are just a coward who is afraid of his own mind.
Whichever you choose.
Let’s not argue.
If you want to talk, send me a DM.

And Zachary Thompson2,

Passing through the doors of perception on a trip? That was me back in middle school when I first heard The Doors and was crushing on a girl who wasn't interested... I thought, "I'll try it..." So I did, a few years later... Either you find it totally boring to chase those spikes while tripping, or you've completely lost it and are searching for something that isn't there...
In my experience, I've tried it, but it's much more fun to just hang out with friends than to attempt a journey into your own psyche... You don't need drugs for that kind of stuff... They are just there to add to the fun... yeah!

Zachary Thompson2 said:I'm not suggesting anyone actually does that; I'm just saying it makes sense.😉 When you're tripping, your mind can wander anywhere.

You can also just zone out... say you're sitting there and you just don't feel like doing anything... that happens more often.

I feel quite 😎
I am John Zorn 😁

Not really... nobody actually does that.

EVERYONE!!!

I've got some recommendations for you. If you're into strong vocals, check out the self-titled album. However, if you prefer instrumental tracks, go with Wild Wonderful Purgatory—that's where the real rock lives.
I haven't caught up on the entire thread yet, so I might be repeating myself here, but you should definitely download Kyass - Welcome to Sky Valley.
One of the best rock bands I've come across in the last two years is The Awesome Machine. I highly recommend their album Soul of a Thousand Years... it's pure desert rock!
If you're looking for powerful rock/blues performers, Eric Sardinas is a great choice...
And finally, the absolute best rock band I have heard since the days of Led Zeppelin and Hendrix: Colour Haze from Germany.

banderas said:What are your thoughts on all of this?

In my opinion, they should finally launch a website with a monthly schedule and ditch those "dance tickets" once and for all.🙂
I mean, if they even actually implement a monthly schedule... that sounds almost too good to be true.

Kyuss - Asteroid
eyehategod - 99 miles of bad road
Neurosis - Road to Sovereignty
Primus - Jerry was a race car driver.
Queens of the Stone Age - Go with the Flow (probably because of the music video)
This is hands down the ultimate driving song.

Generally speaking, I find dub or ska to be the perfect vibe for driving. You just can't listen to bands like Iron Maiden while behind the wheel because, well, they simply don't fit the mood. Plus, you wouldn't want to cause an accident, right? 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Just so I can kick you out of bed with a garden hose in the middle of the night while you're sleeping and force you to crawl on all fours

I listen to ambient hardcore 😁

Well, this certainly comes as a surprise...
I'm honestly disappointed; they've completely ruined the song. 😁
It feels incredibly flamboyant. 😁
Or perhaps they just couldn't find a female vocalist, so they settled for a guy instead? 😁

😁

Haha!

Grace Slick, obviously!
And that woman who sang on Massive Attack's Mezzanine album... "You are... my angel... came from the way above... to bring me down..." nice. 🙂

I highly doubt that little outburst will satisfy your ego today... do try harder.
