If you're looking for big band type jazz, Frank Senatra is King while Glenn Miller is like his brother who didn't get the throne because of some minor detail in the law of the crown.
Does anyone know any jazz (or anything really) that sounds like this:

Banana_Hammock, if you're looking to listen to any more Miles Davis, then seriously, you cannot go wrong with "Bitches Brew". It is otherworldly. It consists of two 10-20 min tracks, but this is 10-20 minutes where you're consistently kept interested. This is coming from someone who, aside from Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Yr. Skinny Fists, Sonna and some classical pieces, hates long songs that outstay their welcome. :)
I have a rather diverse music taste, stretching from Johnny Cash to Velvet Underground to the Clash to Neutral Milk Hotel and beyond
You have to understand the Bitch's Brew was Miles expirimenting with Jazz Rock. Back then nobody did it, and Miles was really the first to realise that he could use Rock's rythem section and electric instruments in his Jazz. When the album first came out many Jazz artists called Miles a sellout and said the album was'nt Jazz. They were'nt so far off, it is'nt pure Jazz.
Its a great album, yeah, but it's not what that guy is looking for.
Plus, if he does, I'd highly recommend going over Miles' albums before that one, just to see where he came from.

Why?
And yup, Bitches' is on two CDs. I meant to say that the second one was bonus material and that the two tracks were on the original cut
also to add to recs. Free Jazz classics (some already mentioned)
Albert Ayler - Live in Greenwich Village (complete impluse sessions)
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Peter Brotzman - Nipples, Machine Gun
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come, Free Jazz
Some of these (especially the Brotzman albums) aren't exactly accessable, but they can represent some of the best of jazz (that ayler set is so incredibly awesome). Maybe try The Shape of Jazz to Come first, its probably the most accessable followed by Out to Lunch
Emperor - "In The Nightside Eclipse" (really good, Ihsahn is another amazing composer)If you like Emperor, Ihsahn's solo album is also worth a look. It isn't completely BM, but what I've heard is still fantastic.
Blut Aus Nord (especially The Work Which Transforms God)
I don't know that I'd call Borknagar black metal anymore, but they are still awesome.

I never really got in to Dodheimsgard. Their avant-garde elements have always seemed to forced for my tastes, I may try them again.I kinda feel that way too. The songs on "International 666" are very piecemeal sounding with riffs being shoved up against each other without any apparent attempt at creating a cohesive whole. The music doesn't seem to purposefully try for a "schizo" aesthetic in the way of Mr. Bungle or Naked City, so I think that counts against its lack of flow even moreso. Still, I do enjoy a lot of the individual sections of the songs, but the songs as wholes leave a lot to be desired.
Satyricon-Nemesis Divina
IAbyssic Hate - "Depression", "Suicidal Emotions" and the "United By Heathen Blood" split with Det Hedenske Folk
Anaal NathrakhYESYESYES.
I'll finish this later.
Astarte!
Somebody should really sit me down and indoctrinate me on the difference between styles of metal, because frankly, I don't get it.
Also, how could we forget ...And Oceans?
* POWER METAL
[...]
* POP-PUNK
The dragon can't eat the protagonist because he can't catch him because he keeps bouncing up and down. The princess won't fuck him either, because he likes ska.
I was thinking more of The Symmetry of I - The Circle of O. Mainly because I have the limited edition 2CD digipack.
For Therion I'd reccomend "Vovin", just for Martina Hornbacher's voice, it's amazing.
Yeah, but as I was saying, Celtic Frost is avant-garde thrash, MDB are doom-death, and Bathory are viking.
I'm pretty sure he wants something that sounds like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Af2btth8qo).
Oh, MDB are so goth they shit bats, but they're still a doom-death band.
Besides which, if he really knows where to go with doom, he doesn't need to be recommended MDB or Paradise Lost.

gothic metal
Paradise Lost - "One Second" & "Host"
What? Those are not doom albums, especially not by PL. Also, as a fan, I try to forget the fact that PL actually realesed Host.
Also MDB are goth fashion kings.
I was trying to make an ...And Oceans related joke, implying that a Coma and resulting World Amnesia was the reason why we had forgotten to recommend them.
These three bands are fucking awesome, especially Drudkh, "Autumn Auruoa" is a damn masterpeice.
Anael
Drudkh
Morrigan
Also, Felix, Satyricon's Nemesis Divina would fit better on that list.

Also good to see some love for "Panzerfaust" (my second fav DT album behind UAFM).
I really dont find Host or One Second gothic, not at all. Icon and Darconian Times are Pl's goth albums, and probably Symbol of Life and Paradise Lost too.
After Gothic and Shades of God came out, critics famed PL for "inventing goth metal", although that is some what true they're only one of the bands that started the goth metal wave. All of PL's albums are straight up doom, except for their electronica expiriments, which can be described as "goth" in texture and sound, but I find them just electronica expiriments, nothing more. Especially not goth albums. They got back to their doom roots with SOL and Paradise Lost, their last album (which is actually pretty good).
Regardless, I think if one is looking to get into 'gothic metal', "One Second" and "Host" are good suggestions, especially if they are new to the sub-genre. I'd also recommend "Draconian Times" as well since it is, in many ways, the bridge record between their prior doom roots and their new more mainstream sounding gothic/dark metal sound they have today.

Yeah, youre pretty much right. I'm just a doom metal fanboy.
Boris dude. Boris.
all albums of:
Mourning Beloveth
Shape of Despair
Thergothon
JESU
and everything with steven o'malley
Cemetary of Scream - Melancholy
I'll also make a slightly more controversial move and suggest 'Bloody Kisses' and 'October Rust' by Type O Negative. Yes, they are more 'goth metal' (one of the few bands I can think of that should actually be called that sans an 'ic') than doom, and they are campy as all hell, but there's some noticeable doom metal sensibilities and some good atmosphere in those albums. They also work quite well as a send-up of gothic/doom misery. Who can forget the immortal chorus of 'Black #1':
Also, anyone interested in being fucking depressed and fucking heavy at the same time should probably check out some depressive black metal. Abyssic Hate, Xasthur and Nortt spring to mind as the 'big names' as it were.
I've got a couple of Nortt songs on mp3 I downloaded late last year, not bad what I've heard (Gudsforladt album) was really good.
Xasthur's worth checking out then? I've been thinking about checking out some of Malefic's work but never got around to it. I figure since you suggested it in this thread it's more of a BM/doom hybrid than straight-up BM.
A few more to add to the list.
Skepticism-Lead and Aether (best funeral doom ever)
Skepticism-Farmakon
Winter- Eternal Frost (One of the first death-doom bands)
Khanate-another O'Malley band
Esoteric-Subconscious Dissolution into the Continuum
Also, Boris and Sleep are a lot more stoner then doom.
'tis a fine thread.
Also, on the dep BM front, don't know why I didn't mention this before, but 'Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve' is a must.

Thats not the same Velvet cacoon who were the Eco Terrorists with the "Disselharp" is it :) I rememember they caused quite the stir a few years ago. I always thought they were more ambient then doom...
Black Sabbath is pretty 'stoner', so is Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Obsessed, Weedeater, Eyehategod, Goatsnake, Roachpowder, Obiat, etc. but they are all, including Boris and Sleep close enough to doom to be constituted as so I'd reckon.

Yeah, but they're not "pure doom" like PL early albums or MDB, they have a lot more sludge and drone influences. Plus, Sleep sings about weed insted of wanting to die (and Black Sabbath sings about both).
Early PL and MDB play death / doom, basically influenced by Winter. Not "pure" (I'm asusme you mean traditional) doom. Sabbath, Pentagram and early Cathedral are probably the best eaxamples of traditional doom I can think off.
PL and MDB aren't 'pure doom' either. :D haha..if you speak to doom enthusiasts many if not most would consider bands that emulate Black Sabbath to be "pure doom" and anything else, like PL, MDB, or as you suggested earlier Katatonia to be off-shoots of the 'doom genre'. And it really doesn't matter what you sing about lyrically, there are plenty of doom bands that sing about all sorts of things, whether it's weed, witches, space, medieval tyrants, truckers, etc. and not about "wanting to die" and they are still firmly within the doom genre. Doom is like the genre that it is part of - 'metal' - in that there are even sub-genres to the doom genre itself. Sludge, funeral doom, drone and stoner rock are often considered sub-genres of doom because they are so closely related to "pure doom".

Slint - Spiderland
i would recommend 'spiderland' by the band slint.
I love BM but I can't stand NSers and murderers, so that kind of cuts a couple vital bands out of what I'm willing to listen to, haha. This is going to come off as totally sacreligious, because it is, but these days I prefer North American BM because of its cleaner production and almost-assured apolitical stance.
While we're at it, could somebody recommend me some early, seminal BM not steeped in Nazi ideology? I've got Bathory, Immortal and Emperor (although Faust did knife a gay man for hitting on him, so I'm on the fence). I'm not touching Mayhem or anything Euronymous-influenced with a 10-foot pole, same goes for Graveland or anything on Deathlike Silence Records (with the possible exception of Burzum). Thanks in advance.
I'd like something with pop-minded musical arrangemens but nothing obnoxiously twee or lyrically saccharine.

Listen to Propagandhi's new album Potemkin City Limits. Propagandhi has been making arguably the best punk music in the scene since they got their new bassist Todd Kowalski. Their sound has gotten harder, their song structure has become much more open-ended, and as a result their lyrics much more stinging. And did I mention Chris Hannah lays down some of the most blazing leads ever?
Other than that, yeah, Fugazi is an excellent choice. Listen to Black Flag and Minor Threat too. I also enjoy The Thermals.

It made me giggle a little bit.
If you're looking for something riff-based and upbeat, you owe it to yourself to listen to the Thermals. Seriously.
If you'll make exceptions for Burzum, you might as well make exceptions for any band that has an ideology that you don't necessarily agree with or obviously don't subscribe to. That said, it's ashame if you're crossing NS bands off your list IMO due to their radical and usually ridiculous viewpoints. There are dozens of excellent bands within that sub-genre that deserve to be heard for musical reasons alone. I can seperate myself from their message and just listen to the music, and it's not like I'm supporting them by going out and buying their entire discography in most cases or getting their logo tattooed on my back.

The Knife is my current squeeze music-wise right now, and they are a wonderful indie-electronic band.

i think if you played someone the arcade fire when they had requested 'indie pop' (i'm assuming this means 'popular music on an independent label', which it was at one point) i don't think they'd be disappointed.

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.)
Get Paranoid by Black Sabbath. It has a lot in common with the classic rock of the time period it was released, but it features a much darker tone and more powerful guitar. Given your background, I think that is the best place for you to be introduced to metal in general.

Kai already mentioned the most important band.Try Shipping New too, I love them. With members from June of 44 and Rodan.
If you define 1994 and 1995 still as early (well, it was the first half, technically), then:
Rodan and June of 44. Also Shellac (duh).
Sid Vicious' drug consumption easily qualifies the Sex Pistols as punks in the truest sense of the term.

the sex pistols are to the ramones what the monkees were to the beatles.

Iggy Pop is the only gig I've seen where I agreed with the people throwing bottles at him!
Hence I would say, find something else to listen to!
i'd say it is supposed to be music on an independent label that is popular.
these days it seems to mean 'music that is influenced by/ similar to music on an independent label that is popular/ has blatent hooks and melody etc'.
in other news, music categorisation continues to be stupid.
Since it's been a while since Jeph's post is it alright if I semi-hijack the thread and ask for BM reccomendations for those who hate fidelity/structure/melody/music?
Punk is defined by ethos and intent.
We've been over what I've said before as well: that comparing the Sex Pistols (formed as something like a performance art project) with the Monkees (formed for a package TV series/merchandising deal) is completely ridiculous; that the cultural impact of the Sex Pistols, in as far as actually getting punk out there, making the entire British establishment shit their pants and having a life performance that pretty much led to the formation of bands including Joy Division and Siouxsie and the Banshees, and in completely overturning notions of what could actually make it as a '#1' record, did far more for cultural life and for music in general than ten perhaps more proficient and prolific lesser known artists. Also, that Anarchy in the UK, God Save the Queen, (I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone, are great songs. Despite their morals, intentions, whatever, The Sex Pistols accomplished more than any other punk band in history.
Just think, that young man might still be alive now were it not for the Sex Pistols.
What a terrible shame.
I will also point out now that Jawbreaker are bland rock that does not deserve a place in a thread about punk.
If there had been no sex pistols, there would be no Joy Division.
Inconsequential?
What of the bands that do have 'a hit'?
The Arcade Fire for example.
They have easily surpassed the million mark.

I never said it was all he listens to. But black metal is, at best, a novelty, much like much gangsta rap.
No offense, but most of those bands are absolute garbage. Especially Enbilulugugal. I should get a recorder and tape static and hit a coffee can over and over again so I can be like Izedis (Dusty).
@kharbevnor- Jawbreaker is not bland. I don't know what makes you say that. Oh, and Joy Division is not better than Nirvana. Yeah, I know that's from an old thread, but I can't believe you think that. Nothing against you personally, of course. I'm not aiming to start a flame war.
Grunge is, at best, a novelty, much like the hair metal it replaced.
Only with less musicianship and cocaine and more heroin and plaid.
Though, I can't trash Nirvanas legacy completely: if not for them, fifteen year old stoners world wide would ALL wear that one Led Zeppelin shirt, instead of half of them wearing that one Nirvana shirt instead.
Indeed.
Also, Enbilulugugal is worth it simply for the titles. And that song with the futurama sample.

Who doesn't limit all their releases and hand number them in blood :?
Their one video 'Fireman' is just about tolerable until the soul-less singing kicks in alongside the most mind-numbingly generic 90's pop-punk riff I've ever heard outside of Green Day. The live stuff is better, if only because they seem to possibly have a different singer, or at least their singer has smoked about ten kilos of hash before the show, judging by his more gravelly voice.

i just got back from a three day fest where i personally saw over 40 punk bands out of the 100+ featured, with only a small fraction sounding remotely like the sex pistols.
as well, everyone knows that the sex pistols' place in punk history is solid, just as jawbreaker's is. hey, it's not the fucking 70's anymore. as everything everywhere does all the time, punk has grown and changed, and just because jawbreaker isn't a band from the 1970's uk does not make them any less such. i just got back from a three day fest where i personally saw over 40 punk bands out of the 100+ featured, with only a small fraction sounding remotely like the sex pistols. according to the logic used up to this point, this would make them really really not punk, but im sure the thousands of people that listen to that shit would disagree. as well, i think you'd be hard pressed to find an anarcho punk who thinks that the sex pistols were anything more than a joke or a crock of shit.

If you want to listen to new punk listen to Leftover Crack or something.
seriously, what the fuck is an anarcho punk?
Man, you went to The Fest V. I am envying you so hard right now.
I bet Arsis would destroy their minds.
Please tell me you don't mean the handbell group.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anybody knew of any other music around like Belle and Sebastian's "Night Walk".
It's really good music when I want to have an afternoon nap or for when I'm studying, and it just kinda makes me sit back and go "Wow...Everything is right with the world".
I have alot of George Winston, however you can't just listen to the same piano pieces all of the time!
So, any ideas?
(Oh, another good one is "Sunshine And Clouds And Everything Proud" By CYHSY)
OK, I'm pretty sure that Khar will agree with me here - that is NOT what makes you an anarchist. Anarchism is about your politics, not your lifestyle. Of course there are a lot of anarchists within the whole crusty/freegan/squatter movement, but you can be an anarchist and still buy stuff - the most important part of anarchism (IMO) is building communities inside the system. There's no point preaching to the converted. The reason I think Against Me! aren't anarchist is because of "Baby I'm An Anarchist" - the culmination of 150 years of struggle is not a broken window in a coffee shop.Quoteseriously, what the fuck is an anarcho punk?when i say anarcho punk, i mean people who don't believe in the system and therefore do not allow their lives to be used to further it. drifters, squatters, people who don't eat processed and artificial foods and don't buy from harmful corporations, don't watch t.v., who eat from dumpsters and hitch rides. people who believe in and practice the politics they preach. the band crass as opposed to the sex pistols.
i wish victory was still a good label.
Hmm. The song in the video isn't really that bad, but it's nothing I'd listen to normally. It reminded me a bit of Sonic Youth for some reason, but not as interesting.
but what is gangsta rap?
slaps head in disgust but still leaves it for khar to explain
Do sleep until you have a copy of Spiderland.
I've never heard one single band on the Victory label.
but what is gangsta rap?
slaps head in disgust but still leaves it for khar to explain

Doomraiser from Italy, as classy as St. Vitus, as heavy as Electric Wizard, with the voice similar to.......Glen Danzig.

I don't wanna derail this thread and turn it into POLITICS EET FUCK though, so I will refrain from commenting further upon this.
Most are crap.? The only one I really listen to is Streetlight Manifesto.
STEVE VS. TONY: ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN (http://www.punknews.org/article/16951)
i wish victory was still a good label.
Victory was never a good label. It's had one or two good bands over the years I'll give you that, but come on, One Life Crew? The only change is that these days Victory's nothing but crap without the occasional Deadguy record to break things up. Sadly unlike Revelation, which used to be awesome but is now utter drivel.
This is my absolute favorite Victory Records-related news item ever. (http://www.punknews.org/article/16951)
one life crew ruled.
What, seriously? I know a few people who listen to them as a joke, but they're not even good tough guy. They're just bad racism.
This a good fucking list, seriously.
They probably play orc.
. . . do you think if i said that i've had enough recomendations anyone would listen?
"Victory Apples"
A Play In One Act
ACT I:[/b]
[Lights up on Tony and Steve on computers at opposite sides of the stage. Moros Eros plays in the distant background.]
TONY: (typing and speaking) PLEASE FOR TO THE PARTNERING OF OUR COMPANIES. I AM NUMBER ONE BIGGEST INDEPENDENT RECORDING AGENCY COMPANY, THE MAKING OF YOU AND ME TOGETHER "BIG MONIES" COMMENCING SOON I HOPE?
STEVE: (pause. Then, typing and speaking.) No.
[curtain]
Is there some way I can trade listening to Slint for maybe listening to 2 other forum favourite bands? What if I listen to Skyclad and Broken Social Scene? Will that do?
That was truly wonderful.
P.S; I love Between The Buried and Me and Darkest Hour but other than that most of the bands on Victory Records (I'd like to single out Hawthorne Heights and Aiden in particular) sure could stand to suck a lot less.
do you like 60s/70s singer-songwriters? (try saying that four times very quickly...)
why not try bob dylan, phil ochs, neil young, gram parsons, van morrison, tim buckley or john cale?
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.
If everyone else here insists on suggesting Slint's Spiderland to anyone and everyone asking for recomendations, then I'll have to insist on suggesting the Ramones' first album to anyone and everyone. In fact, check out bothe albums.
The system works, but I have resolved to never ever ever listen to that album now.Comparing Slint to Dashboard Confessional is generally a bad idea.
Just like how I refused to listen to dashboard confessional so that I could make sweeping arrogant unjustified comments about them.
Did you just insinuate that Zappa's metal?

I haven't heard of Thin Lizzy

I have never seen so many generic , silly bands on one list.
No later Springsteen than Born In The U.S.A., though.
in my experience, people who recommend 'greatest hits' albums are clueless.
as are people who buy them.
I much prefer Tunnel Of Love to Born In The U.S.A.
I much prefer Tunnel Of Love to Born In The U.S.A.
I am sorry but I had trouble reading past this. It was like the "I" was a stake driven into the ground and my eyes were magnetically drawn from it, struggling to get away but only being able to get as far as "U.S.A." before being drawn back to the start again. In fact, I'm pretty sure these words are burned into my retinas just from sheer repetition.

And for the record, fuck "Owner of a Lonely Heart." Why? 'Cause the 80's suck.
Guys, I have to do a Jazz solo sometime next month. And yes. I listen to a bit of jazz, but not enough to pick out a quality solo out of the mess.
You should listen to Hum!
Looking at that Motorhead best-of again
An example is an artist like Tom Waits, who released a bunch of albums throughout many years-Blood Money is not the same as Rain Dogs which is not the same as Closing Time. I won't (generally, there are exceptions) download songs or albums unless it's from a label or artist official site, so the "why recommend one when you can just download all of them" point is moot.
I have NEVER met anybody in person who claims to like punk AND likes Iggy Pop. Actually, every time I try to talk to somebody about Iggy Pop, they say 'He's old and shit'. I mention the Stooges and they ask 'What, you mean like, the three stooges?'. I ask what the best punk band of all time is. THREE people have given me this EXACT WORD FOR WORD answer. Granted, they live together so they'd have probably discussed it with eachother in the past.
"It's either the Sex Pistols or the Dead Kennedys. Probably the Pistols because they came first."
I nearly died.
These following Yes albums have my seal of approval:
Close to the Edge (a.k.a. one of the best goddamn albums EVER!!!!)
The Yes Album
Going For The One
Fragile
Relayer (a.k.a. the album that got me into Yes)
s/t 1969 debut
And for the record, fuck "Owner of a Lonely Heart." Why? 'Cause the 80's suck. The albums I listed date from 1969 to 1977. And if you like any/all of them, maybe then will you be ready for the onslaught of pretense known as Tales From Topographic Oceans.
Also, Black Sabbath's first six records are pure guitar-driven kick-ass! (That's right, I just used "kick-ass" as a noun.)
OH! ?Good thing this was here!
Guys, I have to do a Jazz solo sometime next month. ?And yes. ?I listen to a bit of jazz, but not enough to pick out a quality solo out of the mess.
I need some sort of jazz ballad I can sing without much difficulty. ?I'm a Contralto with a relatively limited range. ?Any help would be appreciated greatly!
'Cause the 80's suck.
Are there any good record label compilations for stuff like metal and good hip-hop?
Varg called himself Grishnack and named his band Burzum as a gesture to his own interpretation of Lord of the Rings, which is a slight twist on the 'misunderstood Mordor' idea, and ties in with his Nazi beliefs. Basically, Varg thinks the orcs drew from the idea of Scandinavian pagans and that Tolkien was writing about the victory of Christianity over heathenism. So, he used orcish as a little reference to that idea. Plus, there's the nice element of a 'secret', if you get what it means. Finally, it's a fucking cool word and it somehow greatly increases the profoundity of the statement: calling a band 'Darkness', as we all by now know, is ridiculous. It's too naive. 'Burzum' has a darker, more powerful ring to it as a word, and the act of translation somehow distances it from being silly. Because it is a profound mission statement if you actually go and try and do it. Nothing to do with Varg was a joke.
Also, I know it's not the best thread to ask for this, but is there a name for that kind of music (always striked as some kind of jazz) that gets played when the plan is explained/during the stealing on heist and crime films? That soft, sly, "oh we are so cool" kind of music.

Between the Buried and Me aren't metal. Not even something you can have a 'what is emo?' argument about. Not metal. Nuh. Nuh-uh-uh. Elements of metal? Yes. Metal? No.
I want an album to get me started wth dark ambient. Have at it Khar.
I don't know what Dark Ambient is, is it different to Darkwave?
