^Both Lynyrd and Motörhead are just great! That southern flag was also used in rock`a`billy movement in the eighties here in Finland. My brother was in it, although I was a little kid then, I also listened same music very much and never understood any racism behind the flag or the music. it´s sad there seem to be much racism in today´s Rock`n`Roll-fans (I mean the fifteens stuff).

Hi,
Honestly, I can not say that I have made a lot of "bad choices" ... mostly with (progressive) radio around me in the early days, and then by having the collection strong enough to not need any more radio, the ability to make "bad choices" ... takes a back seat.
I am not sure that I go around and say that this Picasso is good, and that one is bad. Likewise, I do not say that this album by Dream Theater is good, and that one is bad ... it's the same ARTIST and PERSON, and they are entitled to their voice just like we are, however, we come off as self-righteous (so religious of us!!!) when we say things like that, is my opinion.
I prefer to have some respect for the artistry involved, even if it is not my preference. Ex: I'm not a country music fan, but it would be hideous and stupid if I did not admit that some of those folks have a heck of a very nice voice to sing with!
The artistry is the thing! Not our opinions!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Based on recommendations on here (I think) I bought De-loused In The Comatorium by The Mars Volta a few years back.
I'm pretty sure that the CD player in my car spat it out just before my finger hit eject; I think I listened to/was abused by 2, maybe 2.5 tracks before this happened.
Threw it in the bin.
Never done that before or since...

I have periodically purged my vinyl record collection and regretted it shortly after almost every time. Don't do that anymore. When moving recently, I also purged many of my CDs by importing them to my computer. Twice now that same computer has burped, so to speak, and threw many titles into obscure places where they could no longer be played. At this point, storage boxes are a preferable alternative. |
I too have moved everything to digital, but I have 4 backup copies. One in my office in case my house gets on fire.

I admit I still enjoy a few Anthrax albums a good deal. Persistence of Time is a thrash classic. Ditto for Testament's The Ritual.

It just occurred to me that in the early days of CDs, when they were all $15-18, I for some reason bought Journey - Frontiers.

Confession, part the second: I went through the CDs I left with my parents 20 years ago and found it in the box. It has now returned to my collection where I may wear my shame like a badge.

Testament is the best thrash band mentioned in this thread so far. Almost everybody in the thrash community hates The Ritual...and I LOVE that record. Alex Skolnick is amazing. Megadeth Rust in Peace has been my favorite thrash record since 10th grade.

I spent far too long trying to convince myself that I liked post-Hackett Genesis. My loyalty to the four/five-piece incarnation of the band was so fierce and I just didn't want to accept that my favourite band fizzled out after a nineteen-year downward spiral into mediocrity. Similar story with 80s Bowie, though his late-career renaissance made it a much less better pill to swallow. I've long since abandoned any sense of obligation to be be a completist and learned to trust my instincts. If an album isn't of an exceptionally high quality, it doesn't deserve a place in my collection.

Indeed. RIP is a superb album, yessir! Early 'Deth is great. Also, I thought The Ritual was rather well-regarded...?

Starless and Bible Black; because it should be memorised, not played.

'Arc' - Neil Young. I was enjoying his 90s Crazy Horse period and loved 'Weld' - so I thought I'd push myself musically in seeing what he could do with feedback improvisation (with my prog hat on, no doubt). Let's just say I played it once......

Similar
story here, though I luckily gave it a preview on youtube and decided I
didn't like it at all before I laid out any cash
