I agree Porcupine Tree are well worth a listen but they are so much more than Floyd influenced, modern progressive rock and other styles they are very hard to categorise.....their most Floyd like track Time Flies ironically comes off the most recent album The Incident, it is well worth a listen here http://www.porcupinetree.com/

See how many Pink Floyd references musically and lyrically you can hear in this song

The Doors. Jim Morrison will always have a special place in my heart I love Led Zeppelin too. Whenever "Immigrant Song" comes on I can't help but sing at the top of my lungs.

I have fallen in love all over again with Opeth, and have had their debut album, Orchid (released in 1995) on repeat for eons.

The Apostle in Triumph is a standout track for me. Of note: the last 4 minutes and 40 seconds; especially the last 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

Not frustrating by being poorly written, or even by being slightly less than it could have been; but by the sheer flippancy of the brilliance within. There is not a section of the Apostle in Triumph that does not demand repeat listening, and yet the song denies you the luxury of repeating it's greatest moments - instead putting forth new sections that match the greatness of their predecessors, while you still hang on to hear the previous riff. Any other band might have succumbed to the temptation to repeat these moments of brilliance, yet Opeth plow on from greatness to greatness with such apparent ease that, as a musician, it is frankly disconcerting.

That Opeth, and especially the early Opeth of the albums Morningrise and Orchid, should be considered Death Metal is generous to the genre. Opeth have always been something far more than that, and to class them amongst such bands on the basis of the vocal battery does not do justice to their melodic flair and ability to make the progressive accessable. Opeth introduced to Death (and, subsequently, Black) metal genres, but I am yet to find another band able to come even close to their beautifully gothic realisations. It is only this, that has kept the early 90's flannel shirt on my back.

And for the purists in guitar try to acquire ' It Might Get Loud' preferably on BluRay ( sound quality is just so good !!). Jimmy Paige, The Edge (U2) and Jack White have a discussion on and with guitars.
Jimmy Paige is the ultimate Maestro, The Edge is just techno power and Jack White is almost New Orleans Southern Blues/Jazz roots. Musically very educational and some excellent listening ... think I'll go and play it again now.

My Bowie collection and i don't care how old that makes me sound.

No idea how many records i have, some are valuable but all are precious

[TinyBlueDot (John)]

Dark Sanctuary's "Funeral Cry"
Goth songstress Marquise Ermia at her finest...and Arkdae working the piano

Betcha no-one has ever heard it - nor have one of the 500 copies of the CD-EP

This is a track I have to myself...not used/abused in any ads or ringtones

Yay!

I was going to write the exact same thing

Not everyone shares that taste though, when my house got rolled, they stole all my music, but left *every* bit of Bowie behind.

i knew i wasn't alone in here

sorry to hear your house was hit, they clearly didn't have taste in music... but thank goodness for that!

hope they didn't get away with it and they didn't take too much that you couldn't replace.

i'd lock them up and have Bowie's entire catalogue played to them on repeat.
