The Flaming Lips -- Embryonic
-
Cream - "In a White Room"
I thought it was "In a white room, with black horses..."
Wait it's not? Woah...

I think you guys are missing the point of this list... just because a song is bad doesn't mean it can't be decade defining.
Although it's a pretty dumb list

The Best Thing Ever

Preparing for Embryonic!

$200
I am really digging mine.
-
Tool - Aenima
Somehow I kind of missed the boat on Tool and never really heard them. I dig. Especially Maynard James Keenan's voice, which I think sounds pretty unique among metal voices.

If anyone has any recs for mainstream & highly popular metal or industrial bands btw, I'm all ears (I'm only familiar with Type O Negative). Or blues or soul for that matter. So far I've only dug into rock and jazz.
I dunno what you already have, so sorry if these are too obvious.
Black Sabbath - Paranoid, S/T, (or any of their first 6 albums really) Heaven & Hell, The Mob Rules (these are both with Dio, which is different but equally awesome)
Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast, Powerslave
Dio - Holy Diver
I think Sabbath is even more important than most people realize... it's amazing how many of their songs have seemingly spawned entire subgenres of metal,

I tested four USB cables: a stock “Brand X” strand that came with some peripheral I own (probably a printer), a Belkin Gold Series model ($44.99), a KimberKable ($50), and the dearly-priced Synergistics Tricon USB ($550). Of these, the generic and Kimber Kable cables were the least satisfactory—both reinforced USB’s synthetic quality. The Synergistics Tricon thankfully did not suffer that shortcoming, and was laudable in most every other way. However, the cable was notably bright. This trait can actually be an advantage in some applications. For example, if I owned a Bryston BDA-1 and were using its USB input, I would not be without the Tricon. Its top-end boost does indeed synergistically counteract the Bryston USB input’s high-frequency deficit, allowing instruments to breathe and strings to sound more like themselves. However, with more neutral associated equipment, such as the ARC DAC7 or the Bel Canto USB Link 24/96, the Tricon’s brightness exacerbated the shrieky nature of USB strings.
The best overall USB cable I tried was unquestionably the Belkin Gold Series. A huge step up from generic cable, the Belkin was very nearly the equal of the Tricon in every particular, with the added benefit of being dead neutral. The fact that it can be had for less than fifty bucks is a great bonus. For now, the Belkin Gold is my reference USB cable.

Damn. "Panda" climbed into my favorite songs list in like 5 seconds... and that was just the opening track!
-
Woah.

I am strongly considering getting these as I need some better isolation (there are a billion fans going all the time in my dorm) than the HD600 can provide. How do they rate on the comfyness scale?

The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??
Pretty much sums up everything ever.
-
Not what I would expect from OJC, if the music were anymore recessed, it would be coming out of my neighbor's stereo.
I think this session was released under a bunch of different titles/leaders fwiw. Maybe one has better sound quality.

The Roots Picnic - Totally fucking awesome. PE backed by The Roots and Antibalas was epic, The Black Keys tore shit up, Antibalas kicked ass, and The Roots closing set (with Gary Bartz!) showed that they can play fucking anything, even Sweet Child O Mine, and still sound great. Sadly TVOTR didn't have very good sound (maybe it was just cause I was far back), and everyone was really just waiting for The Roots at that point, but that's pretty much my only complaint.
On friday was the NINJA tour. I wish NIN had played after, cause their shows are just exhausing. They just put so much into it, and kudos to their sound guy for keeping everything in the mix audible and distinguishable. Jane's Addiction was pretty good too, though everyone seemed a little too drained after the NIN set.
I'd definitely put The Roots and Nine Inch Nails up there with The Flaming Lips as teh best non-Jazz live bands I've ever seen. If you get a chance to see any of them, don't pass it up!

That is pretty impressive for a fake fanmade trailer.

Squarepusher - Music Is One Rotted Note
I dunno how I haven't listened to this before. It's like if In A Silent Way was electronica or something.
-
Is it just me or do the Nielsen ratings not seem to make any sense? Is 25,000 people really a large enough sample, especially when you throw in recorded viewings, etc?
