Your Personal 'Must Listen' Albums

[Carl Sagan]

Hey, im new here and just getting a feel for this forum.

Please post some of the albums that you think I NEED to hear before i submit my naive opinions amongst you learned folk.

I already have a fairly substantial music collection with a good amount of metal

Well I will always claim "The End Of Heartache" by Killswitch Engage as not only my favorite album of all time (iTunes has it listed as being listened to all the way through around 19,000 times. ) but also the one album that got me into metal.

So listen to that.

I have no idea what your musical tastes are, but I certainly wouldn't call your opinion naive just because you are new to this forum. That hardly means anything, you could have simply have different taste than the majority of the people on this site (which would be interesting).

That being said, what are your musical interests?

Well it's about time you join us.

This is my buddy. Most the metal I've given him is stoner/doom, prog, and the like. So just give him some suggestions and he'll listen with an open mind.

I was calling my own opinion naive as more of a joke. I like to think my taste is diverse. I'll pretty much listen to anything someone considers good so I've gotten into Jazz, prog, classical, punk, electronic and obviously metal. Some of my favorite music comes from electronic music, mainly IDM/ambient.

When it comes to metal, i really enjoy Boris, Mastodon, Weedeater, Between the Buried and Me, and Electric Wizard
