Gallery link I'm not sure if I should feel ashamed or proud.

Albums meant to be listened to as, well, albums, instead of individual songs! I enjoy these guys; probably one of my favourite modern bands. From the fuzzed guitars, to the synthy keyboards, to the tight rhythm section, and the fact Matt's one of the few modern singers who actually knows how to work a mic, I'd prefer not to fault these guys.

So JJ accidentally taught me how to draw last week, and English class was really boring, so.. They're actually decent compared to my others.. DJ Pikachu Feel Good Inc ~~~>

I wanna be the very best, That no one ever was. To catch them is my real test, To train them is my cause. I will travel across the land, Searching far and wide - Teach Pokemon to understand The power that's inside. Pokemon - Gotta catch 'em all! It's you and me I know it's my destiny (Pokemon!) Oooh, you're my best friend, In a world we must defend. Pokemon - Gotta catch 'em all! Our hearts so true, Our courage will pull us through. You'll teach me, and I'll teach you, Pokemon - Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all! (Yeaaah) Every challenge along the way With courage, I will face, I will battle every day To claim my rightful place. Come with me, the time is right - There's no better team. Arm in arm we'll win the fight, It's always been our dream. Pokemon - Gotta catch 'em all! It's you and me I know it's my destiny (Pokemon!) Oooh, you're my best friend, In a world we must defend. Pokemon - Gotta catch 'em all! Our hearts so true, Our courage will pull us through. You'll teach me, and I'll teach you. Pokemon - Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all... Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all! (Yeaaah) Pokemon!

All Talk Mudvayne Mudvayne Where will you be when it all falls down? Where will you be when it all comes back around? Where will you be at the end of our days? Just following the footsteps let the liars lead the way I could talk about love, I can talk about hate, I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates, I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face, I could talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway Who will you blame? Who will you blame? Who will you blame? Who will you blame for the soot-filled days? Who will you blame for the hurricanes and tidal waves? Who will you blame for the riots and the anger? And just cryin' in the corner wishing you would have had a say I could talk about love, I can talk about hate, I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates, I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face, I could talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway Like a monster hides in your closet It's creeping closer but we don't care Are we all insane? If it's just a game, well I don't want to play... I could talk about love, I can talk about hate, I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates, I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face, I could talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing I could talk about problems, I can talk about sin I could talk about trial, but what do we really win? I could talk about forgiveness, though I'd probably be condemned Or I can talk about!

finally this category is being used again I listened to some of Cryoshell's latest releases today - their new remixes, and the two new songs "Murky" and "Falling". I found them pretty awesome. @Blade: Take me home~ And apparently my brother has four songs by different artists entitled "Into the Light". How fun.
-
Their songs go so well with their videos... I think they're the most unique band I like when it comes to videos, and awesome guitar intros with the widly-didly treatment. I recommend watching A-Punk and then Cousins... Oh and here's Zurg- I went to my Wal-Mart FOUR TIMES just for this set, and finally got lucky and got the only one sitting there.

Okay, so the current song of the moment is a love song. As always! Anyway, it's a theme song as well, namely the theme song for the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I am, of course, speaking of "A Love Before Time" by the singer Coco Lee. If the sky opened up for me And the mountains disappeared If the seas run dry, turned to dust And the sun refused to rise I would still find my way By the light I see in your eyes The world I know fades away But you stay. As the earth reclaims its due And the cycle starts anew We'll stay, always In the love that we have shared Before time If the years take away Every memory that I have I would still know the way That would lead me back to your side The North star may die But the light that I see in your eyes Will burn there always Lit by the love we have shared Before time When the forest turns to jade And the stories that we've made Dissolve away One shining light will still remain When we shed our earthly skin, When our real life begins, There'll be no shame Just the love that we have made before time

Please note that while I feel it is and it is for me, this is in no ways a definitive list, this is my personal take. These are the albums amongst those released this decade that I enjoyed that I felt were the best, not some weird pseudo-scientific definitive list. Feel free to list your own. 2000 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2001 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2002 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2003 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2004 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2005 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2006 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2007 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2008 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning 2009 ~ Album ~ Artist ~ Reasoning Please note before listing anything that it cannot be a compilation album, and that, while it doesn't explicitly need to be, it should be of music that was recorded in the decade(ie, things like a live album or concept album that were shelved in 1973 and were released this decade are preferable to be left out. Live albums that were from this decade that include songs from other decades are fine. This is excluding posthumous studio releases of music recorded and shelved, since they contain new material not heard until now. Posthumous live albums however are included in the rule. Tribute and cover albums are fine). And expect a lot of ties from me, this decade had it's fair share of music to my ears. 2000 ~ Brave New World/Riding With The King/Parachutes ~ Iron Maiden/B.B. King and Eric Clapton/Coldplay ~ It's just a good Iron Maiden album. There's really not much else to say since, as albums like Number Of The Beast and Powerslave proved, when Iron Maiden puts out a good album, it is a good album./I love Eric Clapton. I also love The Blues, and loving The Blues without loving B.B. King is like loving chocolate but without loving sweet food; it can't be done because one is the embodiment of the other./This was Coldplay's debut album. Like most debut albums it's either a Magnum Opus or a memorable album that's good but should be left to bigger fans. This was the prior, as long as you don't go in expecting anything that heavy, it's a great album. 2001 ~ Love And Theft ~ Bob Dylan ~ Probably one of Dylan's more notable albums not even a decade after it's release, if you like his three-parts Folk, one-part Blues style, it's hard to fault this album. 2002 ~ Rock In Rio/Electric Tears/Brainwashed ~ Iron Maiden/Buckethead/George Harrison ~ Live albums from Rock In Rio seem to be like albums produced with Eddie Kramer that have Steve Gadd on drums; They're almost always good. This is no exception. Granted Allmusic didn't like it, but Allmusic seems to hate a lot of things that aren't definite in quality./Buckethead is an awesome guitarist. Take Buckethead and give him a mellowy, ambient album featuring only guitars. Such is Electric Tears./This posthumous release was George Harrison's last, and even in death you can still tell he was one of the creative forces behind The Beatles. 2003 ~ Rush In Rio ~ Rush ~ Remember what I said about Rock In Rio albums? Take that, apply it to Rush, which amplifies it, then make it so good that by the sixth of thirty-one songs, you have 40,000 understandably electrified Brazilians singing along. To an instrumental. 2004 ~ American cool dude ~ Green Day ~ A lot of people hate this album for being where they consider Green Day to have become sell-outs, but to me, criticizing a band for becoming popular is just flat-out stupid, pathetic and as elitist as they think they aren't. Anyway, as for the album itself, I don't want to get into the politics of it because I know it was controversial. That said, it's hard to argue that this album didn't embody what a lot of people were feeling, specifically in relation to the US government. When you can embody the feelings of that many people in one album(And make it a Rock Opera at the same time), you have a good record. Two honourable mentions for this year; the first to William Shatner for releasing an album, because whenever William Shatner does something, it seems awesome. The second is to John Frusciante, for, at the same time he was probably getting comfy again with RHCP, who he left in 2009, and therefore had to spend a lot of time with the band, managed to write, record and release four albums and one EP. In the space of one year. Seriously, how do you come up with that much material in that little time and have it all be fairly well-received? 2005 ~ Octavarium/In Your Honor ~ Dream Theater/The Foo Fighters ~ In addition to being the last album to be recorded in The Hit Factory, John says he considers it one of if not their best work, and when you listen to it, you can hear why./If you like The Foo Fighters' style of music, it's hard not to enjoy the first side, and the second CD is all-acoustic, which really gives a nice contrast to the first side's heavyish guitar post-grunge alt. rock style. 2006 ~ Super Colossal/We Don't Need To Whisper/Modern Times/Straight Outta Lynwood/Endless Wire ~ Joe Satriani/Angels & Airwaves/Bob Dylan/Weird Al/The Who ~ 2006 had a lot of good music, didn't it? Right, on to the albums. Super Colossal is one of my favourite instrumental albums, and I think one of Joe's best. Some people don't like him(Particularly after he sued Coldplay), but I really like the guy and his music./It's kind of hard for me to come up with something to say for A&A's debut album, both because of how stark a contrast it is to DeLonge's work with Blink-182, and because other than Alt. Rock, I don't really know what it's supposed to sound like. I know that is sounds good as what it's supposed to though./Remember Love And Theft? This is basically Love And Theft, but better-received, just as good a listen, and platinum./There's something for everyone on this album genre-wise, the fact they manage to parody all these songs, styles and bands is just incredible, and most of it is hilarious./It's not another Tommy or Who's Next, but for a band who only has two of it's original members, it's a good album, and I can attest that when they play material from it live, they give it their all. 2007 ~ Systematic Chaos(Honourable mention)/5th Gear/Sound Theories ~ Dream Theater/Brad Paisley/Steve Vai ~ Honourable mention since it's basically what Dream Theater would sound like as a Thrash Metal band, and managed to be different enough from the rest of their library to expand the band's appeal while still appealing to their main fanbase and sound like them. Not an actual winner though because it just doesn't do the job the others did for me./I'll admit I bought this for three reasons; Online, Mr. Policeman(The song that I saw on Letterman that made me like country, telecasters and this man) and the fact there are two tracks under a minute long just called "Hidden track". But that said, as long as you don't dislike country, you'll find yourself enjoying this. If you're a guitarist, as long as you don't despise country, you'll find something in Brad's playing to dig. I guarantee that./Things always seem more epic and exciting with an orchestra. Steve Vai's music is already exciting and more than a few pieces epic, so when you give Steve Vai an orchestra, it's going to be good, and it is, especially since unlike a lot of modern musicians(Hi!), Steve actually can and has professionally written out and read sheet music and done orchestral scores. Admittedly I do not own this one(I intend to get it as soon as I don't have my money occupied with a new computer anymore though), but that said a friend does, and when I heard it at his house I was blown away by it. 2008 ~ Snakes & Arrows Live/One Kind Favour/Death Magnetic/Chinese Democracy ~ Rush/B.B. King/Metallica/Guns N' Roses Axl Rose ~ With Rush, a live show is something very interesting. Three Canadian gentlemen walk out, you wonder where the singer girl is, one grabs a microphone and begins howling away and freaking you out that he's a guy and can sound like that, and despite only having three instrumentalists, all the studio overdubs, harmonies, extra instruments and everything are there. Plus Geddy Lee will play bass and sing while playing synths and keyboards with his feet at the same time. If you're a musician and that doesn't leave your jaw resoundingly on the venue floor, something is wrong with you./B.B. is the king of the Blues. Every word he sings, every note he plays, every sound he makes at a concert is 100% filled with emotion. He can leave hundreds of thousands of guitarists behind him with one note. As such it shouldn't be too surprising that when he releases a new album while you're alive and you like The Blues, there's no excuse not to have it, and generally Buddy Guy is probably about the only person I think is alive who has a chance against B.B. if he's ever nominated for "Best Traditional Blues Album" at the Grammies, which this was. If you like The Blues, you either have this album, you're a liar or you're getting it./I can sum this up in one sentence; Metallica sounds like Metallica again! A relief too after St. Anger. That said though, the mastering on it is terrible, if you want to hear how it should sound, then my friend Luke has a remaster of it he's giving away(Since he's making no profit off it, there's no huge copyright or royalty issues I believe.), if you want it I'll give you his IM address and vice versa so you can enjoy Remaster Magnetic./This is really just here because it took twelve years to make and oh huzzah finally came out. It's not really a very good GNR album, is a pretty good Axl Rose album, but is neither as bad nor as good as a lot of people say. Again, it's really here just because Chinese Democracy coming out finally is enough to warrant it being a memorable album of the decade, especially with the whole fiasco with the free Coca Cola. 2009 ~ Working On A Dream/Together Through Life/Chickenfoot/21st Century Breakdown ~ Bruce Springsteen/Bob Dylan/Chickenfoot//Green Day ~ As that one guy who seems to be at every Bruce Springsteen concert just to shout this one thing says; BRUUUUUCE! If you're American, you like Bruce Springsteen. You don't have to be American to like The Boss, but you have to like The Boss to be American, and that rule continues with this album./It's not as good as the others this decade, but it seems this decade was very good for Bob Dylan and the neverending tour, as all of his albums from it were pretty good./Take two parts Van Halen, one part RHCP Will Ferrel, spice it up with some chemistry and mix it together with a little Satch, and you get the supergroup some people have called "The Led Zeppelin of this generation". That's a bit of a stretch for me, but even so this album was great, I'm kicking myself for missing their show here in the summer, and I look forward to their return./THis was a mixed bag for a lot of people, especially with the redundancy of osme of the tracks, but you can hear the band experimenting with more and more with different textures and flavours like Spanish music and ballads, moving to a more progressive style while keeping a Punk-centered nature. Plus it's a Rock Opera, albeit more abstract than American cool dude(Though more interesting fi you can figure it out), which always helps with me, especially since nowadays not enough albums are made to be listened to as an album anymore. So, that would be my take, but again, I really want to see what you guys thought were the best of the decade.

Amazingly amazing band Epica is amazingly amazing.

Apart from being an awesome band with a godly guitarist, easily one of if not the best band to sit back and cool off to outside of Soft Rock, Mellow Rock, Folk and Blues.

(Bob Dylan-esque G, C, G, D, G progression) My name is Alexander, my mom thinks I am great, But the citizens and senators see me in a different way, They say I'm irresponsible, and tell me I'm a cheat, But that doesn't matter to me, I'll pay for them all to be impeached, Then I'll go to the man on the hill, and say to him quite frank, "Hello there, give me my money, for I own a bank!" I sit here in my penthouse in Saskatchewan, It's in Canada, but what do I care, I'm just here for fun, I mark it up as business, because I go to one of my banks, And say "Maybe you should get an ATM, the other is down the way." Then return home and ask my broker and right where he sits, I'll shout "Give me my money, or I'll throw a giant fit!" The days are long and warm, here in Hawaii, As the madman is rushed to the hospital, and Mr. leader rocks on the beach, I have befriended both of them, neither knows of that, But when I need an excuse to leave New York, I just put on my hat, And ring them up and shout on the telephone, "Nobody never gave me my money, buy us tickets to go to Rome!" I know what you're probably thinking, as I sing with this band, "How can such cash and power be with such a man?" Well my friends, here and now, let me just say, A long, long, long time ago, many of you lost your say, And you may ask why, well it's because quite simply, You opened up a bank account, and gave your money to me! (Fade out) Trying to write something Bob Dylany, while having some tongue-in-cheek humour about the economy and all that from the perspective of a bank owner.

Go buy Erotic Cakes! Unless you dislike Jazz Fusion and/or Instrumental Rock music. It's well-executed, entertaining, fun, and a real kick to listen to, there's a reason why even though he only has one album out, most guitarists you ask will tell you he's a beast.

(To the tune of Black Sabbath's Iron Man, with holiday cheer) (Ho ho ho ho ho!) Flying, through the snow, Can you hear him "Ho ho ho"? He's, so, full of cheer, Only has to work one day a year! Children, in their beds, Visions of sugarplums in their heads, So, many, kids out there, Santa must be a billionare! Red, suit, boots of black, Big sack of toys hangin' off his back, How, much, does he weigh? How do the reindeer pull his sleigh? Nobody sees him, As he travels the world. Leaving his presents, For the good boys and girls. (Ho ho ho ho ho!) Sees, every, move you make, Better be good for goodness sake! Leave, him, cookies and beer, He'll be back to your house first next year! (I AM SANTA CLAUS!) (Ho ho ho ho ho!) *Guitar solo* Sadly I cannot take the credit for this parody. Go google it though, it's hilarious if you like Black Sabbath and/or that one song. Merry Christmas everyone, here's hoping you enjoy/enjoyed whatever holiday you celebrate.

Oh, Hello There. I'm One Of The Most Awesome People Ever
Necro posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_698
Wikipedia calls him a composer, electric guitarist, record producer, and film director. That only just scratches the surface. Ladies and gentlemen, Frank Zappa, a man so awesome his mustache is trademarked, a man so influential that everyone from Weird Al to System Of A Down acknowledge his impact, a man so quirky that everyone from that guy down the street who lives with his parents and is always hungry for reasons I cannot state here to Al Gore are fans of his, a man so creative that he wrote, in about thirty-fourty years, eighty albums worth of songs, a man so creative that even now, nearly twenty years after his death there is still enough original material he never released to put out about an average of two a year. Also that whole thing he did in the senate, that was pretty epic too. Today would have been his 69th birthday. Frank, happy birthday, and I'm sorry I missed Zappa Day this past August. -
So I’m now back form the dead and I felt I needed to tell you guys that Muse are awesome. Seriously, listen to their music. Oh and Xmas holidays start today. ~IceToa~

Blues-rock guitarist/singer. Often described as a guitar prodigy, understandably since he was playing opening for Blues legend B.B. King by age twelve. If you like The Blues, then The Ballad Of John Henry is worth having if for nothing else then because his speaking voice sounds like Kermit The Frog. Did I mention he also looks a little like a long-haired Dwight Schrute?

For some reason, it doesn't appear that loud mp3s of Thunder Kiss '65 exist. I guess I could always rip one of my severals of RZ CDs.. but that's too easy. Memoria.
