Please do so so that you know which ones are Hip-Hop and need avoiding

Good shout on Stone Roses. I have a special affinity to LZIV, which remains the best of the Led Zep bunch for me

Your're just being silly now. Funnily enough, I can't think of a worse genre than Heavy fecking Metal.

And Wu Tang - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is as good as anything you'll hear. A truly great album.

Heavy Metal is an evolution from Metal, which evolved from Hard Rock, hence the pattern

I may be harsh on Hip-hop, but the point about avoiding it remains

Heavy metal = teenage music. I see it no different to the chart Hip Hop you see these days.

I'll stick my neck out and say opinions will be divided about Nirvana, wouldn't be surprised if many felt the same about Doors

Ok lets come to a compromise.

Let's say, Punk is music for teenies with a wrong attitude concerning street life and alcohol, arguing with their parents.
Is this fine for all parties? :smirk:
 
boy, i was just joking, i respect everybody's favourite music.
And, believe me, there is so much "hip-hop" that I can't stand, but I just dont like any punk-song, but it's not a problem if anyone likes that.

Punk has been more about attitude, nihilism, anti-establishment, ethos rather than music. Dead Kennedeys, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Black Flag etc.

Admittedly though i'm more likely to listen to Hysteria by Def Leppard on my ipod than the raw, loud anarcho punk anthems.

Right and that's exactly what I dont understand. How can you actually and on a serious note be for anarchism? Hw can you stand for violence and nihilism? How can you be for anti-establishment?

These are things that most punks can't explain to me, so where's the sense in beeing one?

Best hip-hop albums are:

It Takes A Nation Of Millions
36 Chambers
Illmatic

In that order. Anyone who disagrees with this, I will be forced to drive past their house and riddle it with bullets.

There are better Hip-Hop albums, although I would agree that all three are brilliant, and I would even have Nas's in my top 3.

Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt (One of the best albums ever, since then it's been downhill)
Nas - Illmatic (Same, but to the downhill bit to a lesser extent)
Notorious B.I.G - Ready To Die
Big L - The Big Picture
Cormega - The Realness (Beats all of the above)

It no order there, can't decide which ones are better then others.
 
most of these are incredibly obvious and are probably in every top 100 albums ever, but here goes....For anyone looking at this thread for albums suggestions, buy the greatest hits first it's usually the best was to get into a band you're not familiar with

Radiohead - OK Computer
Radiohead - The Bends
Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Nirvana - All of them
Josh Ritter - Golden age of radio
David Kitt - The big Romance
The Beatles - Any of them but Revolver and the white album and sgt peppers deserve honourable mention
The Kinks - again any of them but the kinks are the village green preservation society is particularly good
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds,
Bob Dylan - Any but Highway 61 is great
Ramones - Ramones
The doors - Doors

Not all punks promote anarchy. Most in general have a left-wing stance on political issues.

Where's the sense in being Punk? Speaking out against corporate greed, war, capitalism, religious nutters, promoting the DIY mentality. There's plenty good about punk.

I personally have never been in hardline or anarcho-punk but for the working class, its very easy to relate to punk. They speak about taboo subjects you don't listen in mainstream rock and this is at the expense of album sales. Some bands (e.g. Green Day) sell out by signing to a major label but even they have important socio-political messages.
 
The Doors - The Doors (psych rock)
The Doors - LA Woman (psych rock with a bluesy feel)
Nas - Illmatic (hippety-hoppety)
Jeff Buckley - Grace (hmm rock)
Dr.Dre - 2001 (hip-hop)
Oasis - Definitely Maybe (indie rock)
Nirvana - Nevermind & In Utero (grunge rock)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - BSSM & Californication (rock)
Stone Roses - Stone Roses (indie rock)
Outkast - Aquemini (hip-hop)
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced (psych rock)

There's more but I can't think

Well the same can be said for hip hop and it's attitude towards crime, drugs (Many punk bands lead straight edge lifestyles) the police...

It's easy to isolate parts of every genre but looking at the genre of punk in general you see many left wing band with anti-war messages and also many straight edge acts who promote not using drugs or drinking

Yes, I see your point, and I'm personally also someone who stands up for working-class people, but I think this is more possible if you actually do something about it and get active in politics, not by showing no interest in anything.
