I realize this is a double post, but my God that looks superb.

And just for shits, check out King Crimson's In The Court of the Crimson King and/or The Power To Believe. Then start checking out Yes's pre-1980s material ("Owner of a Lonely Heart" can kiss my ass, but albums such as Close to the Edge, The Yes Album and their s/t 1969 debut, among others, are nothing short of pure aural awesome). Frank Zappa is also rather good, but despite how great he could be on one album, he could be rather shitty on another. I'd say allmusic.com is actually pretty accurate in their ratings of his albums.

I'm going to be a horrible nerd and wonder if Stephen King's Crimson King was inspired by the band. Knowning him i'm guessing 'yes'. Or Yes.

Thanks to the magic of the internet, i've got more Ramones then i know what to do with, including great weird shit like them doing My Back Pages. Giant files with evverything an artist has ever done = fun.
I've got a friend who knows of metal and MOR and Zappa, but i don't have THE TRUE METAL SPIRIT or whatever. And he's been promising me Iron Maiden for ages
The Hold Steady name drop the Dillinger 4/D4 alot. Are they worth it? I'll do anything the Hold Steady tells me to, so i might buy an album
If you're a fan of power-pop and you have yet to hear either Milk 'n Cookies or The Pillows, then stop wasting your time here and search those bands out! (The Pillows might be kinds tricky, seeing as they're from Japan. Check out some torrent sites, and be forewarned that everything before Please Mr. Lostman has a certain balls-lessness that was solved once the guitarist found himself a distortion pedal.)

Hat:
I am not a metalhead by any stretch of the imagination, but getting into Iron Maiden was pretty much the best thing I ever did, musically speaking. Mostly because when I mentioned to my friends that I didn't really know much Maiden, they would beat me and make me recite all the lyrics for Rime of the Ancient Mariner hanging upside down.
Which was totally worth it.
ImRonBurgundy?:
What's that?
BrittanyMarie:
Did you just insinuate that Zappa's metal?
