View Full Version : Recommend an album to me...
Help, I sing all of the time! I have around 40 CD's in my car, and I sing along when I'm driving.
Anything goes, from INXS, to Paramore, Fallout boy, to soundtracks and Now 69, even Mariah Carey!
I am fed up of all of my CD's and want some people to receommend me some good music to download.
Please share.....................
Tom Waits --- Nighthawks at the diner, Night on earth, Bone Machine
Anything by Thelonious Monk or Miles Davies
Nina Simone
Legally download, I do hope ;)
At the moment, I'd recommend:
1) Ash - Intergallactic Sonic 7's
2) Sublime - Sublime
3) Sublime - 40oz to Freedom
4) Feeder - Echo Park
5) Frank Sinatra - Best of
Come to think of it, you've probably got at least 3 or 4 of the above but I'd listen to them anyways!
CrazyDaisy 04-04-2008, 20:00 Mika's album is brilliant! As is the Hoosiers! They're my favourite 2 CDs in the car at the moment!
Meatloaf: Bat out of Hell 1 and 2, and some tracks of 3 and Blind before I stop
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds: Some of the songs on that are class!
Songs For Silverman - Ben Folds
Living in Clip - Ani DiFranco
My Aim is True - Elvis Costello
August and Everything After - Counting Crows
Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos
Plus search Hype Machine for examples from The Postal Service (particularly 'Such Great Heights'), Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Kweller, Benjamin Costello (no relation to the above) and Catie Curtis.

Aim - Cold Water Music lovely mix of electric mixes and hip hop beats plus you can play spot which film that little sound bytes was from. almost perfect all the way through.
For a bit of atmospheric rock try the Best of Pink Floyd Long tracks with long intros but worth the wait.
U2 Best of 1980-90 is pretty good too Some Classic Tracks on That!
Check erm out!
i've been playing these albums in the car recently:
Fair To Midland - 'Fables From a Mayfly'
LCD Soundsystem - 'Sound of Silver'
Down - 'III - Over the Under'
Klaxons - 'Myths of the Near Future'
Aborted - 'Slaughter and Apparatus'
The Cinematics-Strange Education
The Beech Boys-some kind of greatest hits
Aerosmith-Big Ones
Winterkids-Memories

There's a ten year anniversary edition of that out next week i think :)
This album will be good and is definitely on my list to purchase. I 'know' most of the tracks of it but I like Steven and Laura Mary so I will be buying.
Blood red shoes Box of secrets (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Box-Secrets-Blood-Red-Shoes/dp/B0013F2LOY)
Also The Enemy, (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_m_h_/202-0810551-8322263?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=the+enemy) which was my favourite album of last year, is £4 there!
I've gone back to the Klaxons (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_m_h_/202-0810551-8322263?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=klaxons) a lot this past week as well
And for the BEST album ever (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_m_h_/202-0810551-8322263?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=parallel+lines) I think.
Ooh get on Amazon - three for your fifteen quid bargain!
HMV have got some right bargains for a fiver at the moment.
splodgeyAl 06-04-2008, 15:56 motorhead - overkill
bjork - debut
dead kennedys - fresh fruit for rotting vegetables
frank zappa - hot rats
ultimate funkadelic compilation
anything by the shirehorses
muddycoffee 06-04-2008, 16:18 The new Supergrass album (Diamond Hoo Ha) is fantastic.
So is the New Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Album (Dig Lazarus Dig!!)
I must say that splodgeyAl's selection is superb!! Frank Zappa, definitely yes!! Motorhead, Bjork, Dead Kennedys - all favorites of mine.
Might I also recommend the following:
The Wonderful and Frightening World of - The Fall
Shergar is Home Safe and Well - The Ceramic Hobs
Space Ritual - Hawkwind
Wizzard Brew (+ singles) - Wizzard
At the Pongmaster's Ball - Ozric Tentacles
Twilight of the Idols - The Lord Weird Slough Feg
My Infinite Nature Alone - Dawn (excellent Pakistani Death Metal!)
Ladybenj 06-04-2008, 19:51 I'd highly recommend Mr A-Z by Jason Mraz - he's awesome. He was the support for James Blunt a couple of years ago and has also been at the Leadmill.
johnbradley 06-04-2008, 20:09 Radio 2 has got some good tunes on...quite a lot of variety:)
I'd also recommend Aim - Cold Water Music, its a great, varied, atmospheric album.
Or if you like it a little odder, Can - Anthology is brilliant. If you like that sort of stuff.
Ladybenj 06-04-2008, 20:30 Oh and Back to Bedlam and All The Lost Souls by James Blunt - awesome (in my opinion of course).
*Wallace* 06-04-2008, 20:32 Try The Healer by John Lee Hooker
