61 Dollars in Itunes, a week to download, a year to listen.
« on: January 25, 2011, 12:43:50 pm »
Pretty self explanatory. What the heck should I download?


I'm a fan of songs that are about war and fantastical ideals, but I can't stand songs where the lyrics are indecipherable.

Favorite songs: Amaranth, Carry on Wayward Son, anything by the Cruxshadows.


I like powerful instrumentals too (Ride of the Valkyries, O fourtuna, Requiem for a dream, ect.)


What suggestions are there?

If you like requiem for a dream, you'll love the corner stone cues. Buy all four of their albums.

I can also reccomend an australian band called the cat empire.

If you like big fantastical ideas, I'll recommend my favourite band to you: Muse.

Try listening to "Knights of Cydonia", "Apocalypse please" and "Butterflies and hurricanes". All of these are very grand in scope.

Rush is usually fairly powerful.

Try the tragically Hip, too. Classic Rock is always good.

If you like Kansas, then a good list would include: REO Speedwagon, Grand Funk Railroad, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Foghat, and maybe Steely Dan.  Stuff like Nightwish leaves me in the dust, by stuff like Muse, Coheed and Cambria, and 30 Seconds to Mars is supposed to be all the rage now.  They sound kinda similar to me.

Don't forget, as a tanker, you're obligated to pack plenty of oldschool Metal, like Motörhead, Riggs, mid-era Ozzy, and earlier Iron Maiden.

TROGDOR!

And 'Money For Nothing' by Dire Straits, so you can give Canadian Bureaucracy the finger with me.

(They banned it because one woman in Labrador complained about it using the word 'faggot'. In a character line. God I hate censorship.)

Rhapsody of Fire (it used to just be Rhapsody) has some amazing music. In particular, I recommend these albums/songs.

Symphony of Enchanted Lands (Favorite song: Emerald Sword)

Dawn of Victory (The Village of Dwarves is really the only good song I've heard.)

Power of the Dragonflame - ('Steelgods of the Last Apocalypse' and 'Knightrider of Doom' are both awesome.)

Symphony of Enchanted Lands II - ('The Magic of the Wizard's Dream' all the way. Make sure to get the version with Christopher Lee in it.)

Triumph or Agony - (The only one I've heard is Silent Dream, but it's pretty rad.)

The Frozen Tears of Angels - (This entire album is gold. Here are my favorites, but all of it is pretty good.)
- - - - - - - - - -On the Way to Ainor - It starts kind of slow, but it builds up throughout and it gets pretty intense.
- - - - - - - - - -Raging Starfire - The craziest guitar solo I've ever heard.

One tip though - If you decide to buy an entire album, try listening to it from start to finish. Their albums usually tell a story from start to finish.

Zrk, it's typographed as Three Days Grace. ON the subject of three bands, 3 Doors Down has some pretty intense songs with lyrics that make sense, and One from Metallica(Is that how you spell it?) really carries meaning, especially when you know the book/movie it was based off of.

Might not be what you're looking for, but pretty much all of my other stuff isn't what most people'd consider decipherable (because it's Japanese, growly metal stuff, or both).
Weezer, Pixies, and Talking Heads.

I'm also going to second what Aqizzar said.

Weezer and Pixies are really good, get some of them.

Blizzard is managed by dark sorcerers, and probably have enough money to bail-out the federal government.

I think the main question is: Why are you buying off iTunes?
