Although metal dominates my listening library, it does not stand alone by any means. For example, in the "B" section of tapes, Beethoven sits between Bach and Black Sabbath. Over in the "H" section, Hooked on Classics sits just under Hades and Helloween. An album by Kesher, a Jewish rock/pop band sits in "K" right before Kiss. i like reggae, but no one has been able to recommend albums to me (but i like Third World). And i'll admit, the first album i ever bought was Million Mile Reflections by the Charlie Daniel's Band (gimme a break, i was seven or eight years old). i'd just as soon go see the Pittsburgh Symphony as go see VoiVod (the latter of these two i'll be doing tonight). i was looking through the paper last night, and stumbled across a review of "NothingFace", and the reviewer does NOT consider them to be metal, thrash, OR hardcore (sorry Hans). i agree with his judgement that they stand alone. They absolutely do. Replies requested, all will be answered. Thanx. metallicious moshin marcia the biker biology babe

My tape collection is sort of random: a lot of metal, a fair amount of thrash and industrial, a small but growing collection of jazz and blues, Pink Floyd, twenty or so live tapes of the Grateful Dead, a smattering of classical, Bauhaus, PiL, REM, Kitaro... IMHO, jazz is far too much neglected among metalheads. If you thought Paul Gilbert was fast, listen to John Scofield or John McLaughlin. It's harder to listen to (especially a lot of recent near-fusion stuff, which is often in ridiculous time signatures and sometimes just barely in a key), but very rewarding, especially if you like tight instrumentation...

While this would not be newer reggae, it would be newer music that your Black Sabbath album. Bob Marley was (and in many minds still is) the very spirit of reggae. He was considered a god, and I don't think he ever produced a bad album. >i'd just as soon go see the Pittsburgh Symphony as go >see VoiVod (the latter of these two i'll be doing tonight). So, then, why are you doing the latter?
