BrandNewCadillac Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) When talking about Bowie, I'll always recommend Hunky Dory and Aladdin Sane, especially when you enjoyed Ziggy Stardust. I'd probably just recommend you most of his early stuff, really. Try The Man Who Sold the World, too.In regards to something I wanted to ask, what other Alanis Morissette albums should I give a listen? I already own Jagged Little Pill and I really liked it, but I haven't heard much about any of her other work.

hbkdx1125 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 As far as Bowie goes, I know I might get some disses for this one but I would actually recommend the soundtrack for the movie Labyrinth. Bowie did a lot of songs for that movie that I like quite a bit. Might have some trouble finding it but it's out there and well worth the purchase in my opinion.

Gods Favourite Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks everybody. "Hunky Dory" is awesome, listening to it now, while downloading "Heroes" and "Diamond Dogs". I don't know what to expect from the last one, since no one mentioned that, but since it's from his earlier stuff it guess it can't be that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The Beatles.Is Love a good starting point, and if not, what is?Well you should listen to the original stuff before taking on Love.Abbey Road, Let it Be, White Album, Revolver would all be great points to start. Help and Hard Day's Night, if you want the older, cheesier stuff.My best recommendation actually would be to listen to Please Please Me (the first one) and then just go over each album in chronological order and see every stage that the band went through (from cheesy pop band to expetimental and hallucinogenic stuff to wiser and more mature).Anyway, any recommendations where to start with Nick Cave?

LEARNING PROCESS Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well, since the "Last album you bought/downloaded" thread, which I got a lot of good recommendations from, was deleted, here's a thread for requesting recommendations like that.I'll start off by asking you, what Bowie albums you find the best? I already have "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars", which I find really good. What should I get now? And don't flame me for being late with the Bowie stuff LowOutsideEarthlingLet's DanceHeathen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

()And maybe the Ting TingsI've never heard of Freezepop, though, so those might not be the best recommendations of you're looking for something similar to them.

Shuffle Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Bowie: The Man Who Sold The World for more guitar-based hard rockAladdin SaneLive Santa Monica '72 from the Ziggy Stardust tour (released this year), one of my favourite live albums of all timeand then you can check out his more experimental stuff like Low and "Heroes"...Nick Cave's latest album Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is very good, it's the only one I've really listened to so I can't recommend you anything else...

Shuffle Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Rolling Stones bootlegThe only one I remember right now is Brussels Affair, which is live album recorded in '73 (I think). It's very good and many Stones fans think it's better than the excellent official live album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out from 1970 (recorded 1969).

The Sandman Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Anything by DMX, akin to the Intro of "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 For electropop - Postal Service all the way.Their cover of Against All Odds is mindblowing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kehHqPfRhPoAlso try MGMT, if you hadn't already.@Sandman:I don't really dig DMX, but stay away from his late stuff. He's a shit-machine today. "It's Dark..." is his best work, IMO. You would like "And Then There Was X" I think, anything after that album is a huge pile of donkey crap except for an occasional decent track. Id recommend Onyx for some hardcore rap. Their debut - Bacdafucup is great.Still haven't got my Nick Cave recommendations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Still haven't got my Nick Cave recommendations...Yes you have. Although I suppose it's not that helpful Nick Cave's latest album Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is very good, it's the only one I've really listened to so I can't recommend you anything else...
