Don't you love turning people on to music? I thought this would be a great reference thread to help us broaden our horizons in the coming months (years). Just pick twenty to fifty from your library- if you can't do twenty; do ten or five or one.

Both versions of Smile?
Are they really that different?
yeah i've only heard the Japanese version...
?
I had the Southern Lord mix first
then Japan import. I have been listening to nothing but the Japan import but the Southern Lord mix is awsome- more RAWK, more continuous a better, cooler flow. The songs all have different titles and the track list is a different sequence till the last three- get them both; the differences are definitely worth having in toto.
Is that the best place to start with The Residents?
You might want to start with the 25th anniversery compilation on rhino
Mark Of The Mole is great though. Ther Residents made four "Mole" records:
Mark Of The Mole
Tunes Of Two Cities
The Mole Show
The Big Bubble
The basic story is about the lives of two races; The Moles and The Chubs. The Moles live underground. They live to work and work to live until one day a storm or conflagration of some sort forces them to abandon their home and mass migrate to the chub region by the sea where they are exploited by the chubs. Mark Of The Mole is theatrical music which documents the basic story, The Tunes Of Two Cities is a compilation of indigenous music of the two cultures- Moles and Chubs. The Mole Show is a live album of the European Mole Tour which has an added dramatic element of the conflicts which take place on the tour between The Residents and Penn Gilette (who the Residents hired to narrate the stage production but Penn tries to steal the show. The Big Bubble is a an album of the band The Big Bubble who are the children of mixed marriages of Moles and Chubs- The Residents created a whole language for The Big Bubble. There is also "Intermission" which is an album of the intermission music The Residents made for The Mole Show.

I own three of those.
I am not worthy to walk these boards.
Are they 'The Fugees', 'Battles' and 'Dizzee Rascal'?
Dizzee, NIN and Mogwai
I've never even heard of The Sound of Animals Fighting - Tiger + The Duke.
I haven't got any of them
I wondering if my record collection has been nicked or something.
Along with an apostrophe and an 'm'
tsoaf
terrible album, amazing band
most of rx bandits,
craig from Chiodos
and Anthony from Circa Survive
dual singing.
Lover, The Lord Has Left Us is terrible,
Tiger + The Duke is not
I can't believe no-one has picked up on
the contraversial choice of Dillinger Escape Plan album. Nothing gets people riled up on here like a good bit of old DEP / new DEP aggro
i was considering this choice
but i decided to go with the stance that it's DEP, and i love all their albums.

There are but 3 that are rock solid essentials for everyone:
Circle takes the Square: 'As the roots Undo'
Slint 'Spiderland'
Neutral Milk Hotel 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'
Three stone cold classics. NMH haterz please respond below...*
(*actually, don't).
2
albums every DiS user should
own, including Panic At The Disco's 'Pretty. Odd' and Wolfmother.
pretty odd is actually a great fun summer album
and nothing like their debut
I know
I've heard it. It's hardly essential though
hmmm
it's a bases covered album though. what other album of it's ilk would you put there? (granted there are tonnes, but what in particular?)
