What CD's made a lasting impact on you?[views:24815][posts:96]______________________________________ [Sep 1,2010 6:05pm - aaron_michael ""] People have been tossing around this survey thing online, asking which CD's they love the most blah blah blah. I thought about it, and came up with a really insane list of CD's that made me go, "holy shit!" when I first heard them. What's yours? |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 1,2010 6:10pm - Woah!_Shut_It_Down! ""] If we have to physically own them: Slipknot - Vol 3. My first step in the door as far as really heavy stuff goes. Probably wouldn't have been a metalhead without it. EDIT: Well now that my "list" seems too short, time to add more from my irl collection Dir en grey - Withering To Death. Got me hooked on anything j-. Sigh, Galneryus, Amüza, Jenovavirus etc. are al excellent Japanese Metal bands I eventually found out about thanks to this heavily made-up bunch. Behemoth - The Apostasy. My first legit Extreme Metal purchase made because I saw their picture online and thought their outfits were badass. Misfits - Misfits(Plan 9? I dunno the real name) - About 20 tracks of blistering punk rawk. Sounds good. Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast. Nuff said. |

| _________________________________ [Sep 1,2010 7:01pm - dertoxia ""] Skinless-Progression Toward Evil No question. This is THE cd that made me go "holy shit I want to listen to more music like that." Ive still to this day listened to this cd from start to finish more times than any other cd ever. As a runner up though, someone gave me the Traumaside/Wasteform split which is what really got me into more of the local bands around here. I went through like a whole summer where this was the only CD in my car. Then one day I walked into some random record store and thumbed through the catalog and had him order me Dying Fetus- Destroy the Opposition because I thought, well I don't see how I could not like this band with that name. And I also ordered Cryptopsy- Blasphemy Made Flesh, which is definitely not one of my better pickups but it's ok cause I bought None So Vile like a week later once someone played me Slit Your Guts. Still one of my all-time favorite songs. Of course that was back when I actually bought CD's and before my entire CD collection was stolen. |

YES. I first heard it in 94. my very first introduction to extreme art. i had a healthy dose of blues and classic rock before this thanks to my dad but this album was a wake-up call for me. when i have time i'll make a list. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 2,2010 9:37am - xmikex ""] Blah blah blah Seasons in the Abyss, Paranoid, all the usual prerequisite works of awesome. Nobody wants to read another list. I think maybe the first album I ever came across that really made me wonder just what was going on in the world as far as music was Soundgarden - Superunknown. It was like the 2nd CD I ever bought, and like everybody else I picked it up because the Black Hole Sun video was sooo keWl dUd3. And then I heard the song 4th of July, which is just such a heavy dark song even for a band with Chris Cornell in it, and suddenly that record became about that song instead of their radio hits. Connect the dots from there and you end up with a 28 year old who wants to hear every obscure band he can find, and worship bands that no one else likes for the sole satisfaction that no one else likes them. |

After a few weeks of listening to "Under The Sea" on loop I apparently wandered up to him and asked, "Daddy, do you have any heavy metal?" So he gave me VH - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Boston - S/T on tape and thus began my descent. - Drudkh - Songs of Grief & Suffering - my dad's Iron Maiden collection on vinyl - Carcass - Heartwork - Einsturzende Neubauten - Haus der Luge - I think I had The Wall playing on infinite loop for a few of my teenage years - whichever Dead Kennedys album I got my hands on first - Shellac - 1000 Hurts - Saint Vitus - Born Too Late - Type O Negative - Slow Deep & Hard - Deicide - Once Upon The Cross, simply because it was the first album I was forbidden from owning (I was like 10 when it came out) and that made me want it that much more, and cherish it once I had it. - Drudkh - Songs of Grief & Suffering - my dad's Iron Maiden collection on vinyl - Carcass - Heartwork - Einsturzende Neubauten - Haus der Luge - I think I had The Wall playing on infinite loop for a few of my teenage years - whichever Dead Kennedys album I got my hands on first - Shellac - 1000 Hurts - Saint Vitus - Born Too Late - Type O Negative - Slow Deep & Hard - Deicide - Once Upon The Cross, simply because it was the first album I was forbidden from owning (I was like 10 when it came out) and that made me want it that much more, and cherish it once I had it. |
