.

Coil Stolen & Contaminated The defining modern ambient experimental group. This cd is a musical landscape that as creative as it is unique. Take Pink Floyd and put them on acid and this is what you get.

KMFDM Symbols This is KMFDM's most unique, interesting, and enjoyable cd to date. This cd has the greatest & most ecelctive lineup of any Industrial band & cd produced. The variety of speeds, moods and topics keep this cd going in the right dirrection from the first track all the way to the end.

Marilyn Manson Portrait of an American Family This cd is a demonic animal that will grab you and consume your conscienceness (if you are conscious). Every song is a unique Portrait and description of life, events, activites and entities. The titles are as vividly descriptive as the lyrics and vox are. The music jams and grinds to the beat of Mansons unique creation.

Minstry Psalm 69 The break through hard drifts, hard hitting and technically smooth cd from Ministry. The best demistration of all their skills and how they can produce an awesome raw and kick ass cd.

Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine This cd technically is pretty simple (drum machine, synths, and loops); but the effort, fresh emotion and good vox help this cd pull roll. Personal feelings come to mind (many feel relations to these songs) a good amount of the tracks. Trent Shoots and Speaks straight up about what your trying to express. Its sound isn't as grinding, grimmy, distorted, or dissonant as tradition industrial which is refreshing and pulls you in and pleases you.

Nine Inch Nails Downward Spiral After a great debut and a harsh but good lyric and core wise Broken cd this cd is a combination of both cd's elements. Again effort, emotion and good vox rule this cd, but with new twists; I.E. good guitar riffs, more complex sequences and more unique of loops and drum lines. Thier best cd shines in all degrees of light and truly isn't missing anything that would be desired.

Nine Inch Nails Woodstock 1994 Bootleg NIN's best performance ever from what I have heard. Its a mix of songs for all their cds, then adding Burn from the Natural Born Killers sound track and a cover of Joy Divisions XXX. The suspense grew from the start when they came from under the mud pit below the stage. The energy, effort and action is full on through out the set. This is a must hear and it is truly unforgetable.

Pop Will Eat Itself This Is The Day...This Is The Hour... This Is This! I bought this cd in the mid 1990's it was one of the last cds I've ever seen in the old cardboard box format. The dynamic graphic logos of this band is just a sign of whats to come in the music. Wise Up! Theres nothing like this cd. Merging sound bytes fluidly and not a a cheesy fashion either. Ok some input sound bytes May be precieve as corny or cheesy, but understand those were with purpose and prelude the funky ass shit to come. This rocks, bump, grinds and flows all in one whole master piece. Yes Pop WILL Eat Itself, but this cd will feed you a healthy dose of good music.
Pop Will Eat Itself Dos Dedos Mis Amigos For those you actually are familiar or Not with PWEI's work this has to be seen as their most unique work. It isn't the loop factory, mixed with sound byte pasted, and hardcore funky lyrics. No no no this cd is more simple, more pure, more thick and dense of a feeling. It is still funky as hell which is PWEI style, still tongue and cheek, and still loop beat jam, but in more of a minimalistic way. Its not that PWEI didn't try or put effort, no no no this cd is a great final effort that Must be applauded because its still as fucking unique as the rest of their work (if not their most).

Pig Wrecked This is the most Industrial cd by pig to date. Pig naturally pigs hard rifts, classical lay outs and notes while inputing his deep provocative voice. As a pure representation of Industrial music in a Pig style this cd transends all others with grace and in full gear. If you like KMFDM Symbols you'll love this, regardless of what you like about Industrial music this is worth a listen.

Type O Negative Bloody Kisses Type O's 2 previous releases resymboled their Hardcore Metal core Carnivore roots and this cd was the birth of what was developing in those 2 cds. Lets see here for those you don't know Carnivore it was a brutally hardcore band with harsh lyrics, slamming riffs, and harder than most. You could see, hear, and feel Peter's lyrics through those hard songs. His words became more clear on Type O's first 2 cds and the harsh lyrics made the cds good, but the music didn't evolve to give a fulling living birth until this cd. Hardcore roots, Great lyrics, Peter's great Vox, and Gothic tones merge to make this cd atmospheric, slamming, and addictive. There is no fluff, no what should we do next, and no I want to sound like so and so. Listen to this cd and enjoy a truly unique blend that works, and that isn't a forced transfusion of things that don't work together.

Type O Negative October Rust This cd takes off where Bloody Kisses blended. Mix in more of sorrow, more deep humor, and more atmosphere and you'll feel inside this cd. You'll feel the traveling in these songs and enjoy the lyrics just as much as the musical content.

Black Sabbath X X

Corrosion Of Conformity Blind Their first 4 man band lineup cd. This cd showcases COC's unique jams and guitar rits that make then a worth wild band.

Corrosion Of Conformity Deliverance Their most refined cd to date. This is what metal should be great vox, slam'n guitar rifts and real musical talent.

Faith No More The Real Thing As the title of the cd proclaims it really is the real thing. Funky ass bass and drums to unique vox and rifts define this band.

Metallica Metallica After years and years of hard rocking tours and cds this epic was born. There is no other Metal cd produced with such a balance of eliments and such hardcore back bone.

Ozzy X X

Pantera Vulgar Display Of Power Are you a male? Do you feel Anger, Angst and Aggression? Well what the fuck are you waiting for buy this cd fucker! This cd will break your ass. Vulgar is an instant classic that can't be denied. There is content unlike previous releases, and the effort and aggression was at its peak on this cd. I was pulled in by Walk, "Re-Spect WALK!" and in a world where there is very very little respect for others and people don't walk away from there efforts to be a fucking ass clown there is a reason for this type of aggression and its a natural feeling in life. This cd is a good picture and living expression of venting and aggression and is a good tool to listen to.

Prong Cleansing Thier best cd jams and rips harder and cleaner than any other of their cds. The lyrics are sharp and the music grooves to be as potent as possible. Don't pass this cd up its just what you need to feel some real hard ass rocking music.

Rage Against the Machine Rage Against the Machine Their debut cd grinds to fight political, social and life injustice from start to finish. You not only listen and have the messages sink into your mind you feel them fully.

Suicidal Tendencies Prime Cuts This best of cd catolagues their career of hard rocking metal songs. Great songs, Great guitars, and Cyco Miko's awesome energy and lryics. My thing is that you have to see them Live to really feel the music fully, so get off your ass and see them.

Therapy Troublegum Who said being disturbed isn't a beautiful thing? Troublegum aka Troublecum as you'll see on the cover is just sign of the guts of this cd which are glorious. No holds barred hardcore rock that is rarely found these days.

Tool Undertow They evolution of this ever changing band starts here. This cd which has a cameo by Henry Rollins (in the song with the best rift as well) moves you and grabs you in.

White Zombie La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol 1 From the Intro track you can feel & know the Metal journey you're up for. Rob Zombie's Funky ass lyrics combined to J's Hardcore Jamm'n rifts is a unique combo that can't and won't be duplicated. Years and Years of cultivation came to head on this cd to become a classic and must have./font>

PUNK

Adolescents Adolescents The debut and best cd by the Adolescents. This is a Very Very good pure old school punk cd. The songs and tone of them are very unique. This is one of very few cds I will call classics.

Bad Religion X X

Offspring Smash Ok ok ok you're seen All of their Videos, and Heared them on the Radio, and Yes they need to pay their bills and enjoy life with their new stuff, but if you haven't heard this cd it is worth the trouble. One of the best punks cds from start to finish with some message and attitude.

Rancid Let's Go Their best rock'n punk'n cd.

Social Distortion Social Distortion This is what Social Distortion is about. Mike Ness's vox and lyrics jam rock, country, and hardcore to a unique core. It has some cover sonds but they live up to and surpass the legends who they originated from.

Sublime Sublime Their best cd showcasing their diverse abilities and unique combination of punk, rock, raggae and their own styles.

Bob Marley Legend The title says it, and the music backs it up. For a man whos life was lived his way and loved his people as much as he did life itself; its evident in his songs. This cd compiles his hits and greatest songs in a very whole way. His life created inspiration to people who represent it in the roots on modern music, but also in the minds and feelings of millions around the world that believed in what he did with mutual respect.

Bob Marley Rastaman Vibration Funky down upbeat cd with mad vibe.

Spearhead Home Fronted by Michael Franti this band presents a groovy modern cd with modern social concerns, issues and ideas fully represented. How will I live my life if I am positive? Is it going to be a negative? Lyrics about sex and concern about the possibility of being HIV positive. This honest cd is fully welcome to me, and with no fluff it transends modern pop idiologies of what the Rap genre should be.

Tupac All Eyez on Me The first and best fucking double Rap cd of all time. After time in jail a fresh, full of ammo and driven Tupac created a master piece with Dre. No holds barred here, there is nothing weak about this cd. Haters will hate him, but haters are punk ass wanna bes with no balls and sit on their asses with a finger up there ass to hit the G-spot because they can't make anything else happen for themselves.

ROCK

Alice In Chains Dirt The best cd by AIC. This cd shows AIC's skills from hard to mellow and back.

Alice In Chains Facelift Their intial offer showcases there wailing riffs, sweet vox and pure jam session sound.

Alice In Chains Jar Of Flies This cd is fairly Short but Sweet. The songs on this cd are the same AIC style, mood and tone, but less thrash and metal. It completes what previously hadn't been filled in other cds which is refreshing and brings you back to it again.

Bloodhound Gang One Fierce Beer Coaster Funky, Funny as hell, hard rock'n shit. This cd will activate your sense of humor from the first track and will leave you fully pleased when its over.

Catherine Wheel Happy Days One of few foreign bands I truly enjoy and give a shit about. Deep vocals and unique sound make this cd a worth wild experience.

Pearl Jam Ten Their hard rocking debut presents their rock, groove, and variety of song creating abilities. Instinctive music with the combo of Eddie Veder's lyrics and vocals grab you and hold you to the song while the music pulls you through the ride.

Pearl Jam VS This cd is a smooth transition and evolution from Ten. It expands Pearl Jam's unique sound and musical skills.

Pearl Jam Vitology Their last great cd extends their unique style and very enjoyable songs.

Lords Of Acid Lust Their debut cd is no cut and paste junker like most techno cds out there, this cd was engineered and pioneers a purpose. Who says techno is just about dancing? Lets talk about Deep Sex, Pure Sex, Hard Sex, Rough Sex! Lets fucking talk about fucking fucking! Add a sense of humor

Lords Of Acid Our Little Secret Continuing the LOA formula and enigineering this cd spanks your booty hardcore with humor and sexy fuck'n beats.

The Orb The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld Before Pop Techno Dance Crap Promoting Cars and Lame shows, there was a cd that was unique with a fluid layout. This double cd lives up to its title completely. Released over 10 years ago it was a landmark cd, but today it still is in comparison to the new crop of repeat copying machine djs. There is no cut and paste of top 40 crap here. This is the journey into interesting, ambient, and essential techno.
