What long-running bands did you just become a fan of recently?

The Police
Green Day
Weezer

I never cared much for them back in the day, but since scouring the local thrift stores I've been able to collect almost their entire discographies for around a buck per album. Turns out they had some decent stuff.

I am starting to develop a taste for Asia. Enjoyable music.

Been on a nu-metal kick lately. This Limp Bizkit stuff ain't half bad.

April 1st was two weeks ago!

Love Limp Bizkit. Insipid lyrics aside, of course. Haha. But yeah, they're great. Not a big fan of the debut, but everything else is solid, and the albums after Chocolate Starfish are very underrated.

I have been developing quite a taste for Caliban. Solid German metalcore.

Just bought Van Halen - Tokyo Dome - in concert. 2 CDs.
I forgot just how much I loved them ! Great vibe !
If you buy the CDs - don’t look at the song list. Let it be a surprise !
No wonder they were top dogs for decades.

Killer band. Check out Cataract as well!

Yeah they are all pretty good. I even like the debut, although it is more crude sounding. Seems like it's been 10 years or so since Gold Cobra. Are they even still together?

I saw most of Korn's albums at my local record shop.

Where would you recommend that I start?

A different record shop.

Korn has experimented with their sound a bit over the years, so I'd just start with the first one. My personal favorite is Untouchables.

The debut is good, but it's just their worst, in my opinion. And they're still together. Apparently they have an album done. It's called Stampede of the Disco Elephants. Durst said it's out there online somewhere, but no one has been able to find it yet. Not that he's given many hints on where to find it. They were signed to hip hop label and that fell through, so who knows what's happening with it?

Seems like they've been working on new music for the past decade, though, but it's only resulted in three songs...







I could do without "Lightz" and Lil Wayne's garbage verse in "Ready to Go," but "Endless Slaughter" is badass.

Great band. Issues is my favorite.

Riot is the answer for me. They are incredible!

I suspect the utterly dumb album art scared me away.

Not sure if I already mentioned it, but I would say Fastway. I got their s/t album, All Fired Up and Trick Or Treat on cd two days ago.

Have been spinning them all weekend. Very good stuff.
