Music Recommendation Thread

[Organ Grinder]

I though I'd make this stupid thread up for those of you who may have a few recomendations for the rest of us to check out.

I've read where quite a few people said to check out Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime". I am in the process of listening to it for the first time, i'll give my thoughts later.

Anyway, if you have any suggestions of songs, albums, or bands, put it down.

Here are a few that have been mentioned:

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Radiohead - Kid A
Radiohead - OK Computer
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun

Damn, I don't think I could have expected "Operation Mindcrime" to be as good as it was! I don't believe that I've missed this album for so long! This is a classic and a must hear for any fan of the rock genre. 9/10

Yeah,yeah,yeah. I don't write for fecking Rolling Stone!

Glad to hear you liked it. Did the beginning of "Eyes Of A Stranger" sound familiar?

[Organ Grinder]

I guess you could say that was an homage to Empty Spaces and the great Floyd machine.
