What about the album "Squeeze" with no original members? Haven't heard anything from it, but it got universally panned. I'm curious to hear it, but I'm not expecting much. It was never even released in the U.S.. It's not even represented on their box set, and rightly so, I suppose.

[The User]

Nirvana - Un plugged
Madonna - Immaculate Collection
John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom
Sonic Youth - Dirty
Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill

These are the albums that made me want to listen to music.

Aren't they the ones that are also known as Danger Kitty doing a song called "Love Rocket" from some "Behind the Music"-parody commercial for... SOMETHING? Wow, I guess that commercial didn't work so well, did it?

[MikeWGA]

1) Nirvana: Nevermind
"Wow, this is awesome, I wanna play guitar"
2) Nine Inch Nails: Broken
"I've never heard anything this crazy...I LIKE IT"
3) Lo'Jo: Boheme de Cristal
Can't say much other than the world is so damn big...
4) Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Deja Vu
"Wow what a concept, the ACOUSTIC guitar!"
5) KMFDM: Nihil
"Energy, pure energy."

Probably wouldn't listen to some of these very often anymore, but they really influenced the direction I went as a musician and all really got me to evolve in my thinking.

[veer chasm]

2. the Cure-Disintegration
3. Mortal-Fathom
4. Starflyer 59-Silver

[VillageIdiot]

Tool- Opiate
Tool- Undertow
Tool- AEnima
Tool- Salival
Tool- Lateralus











Now seriously folks... :)

In order of influence-

Creed- My Own Prison
"Wow, I like heavy music. Wow, I like riffs. Wow, I like complex song structure."
Tool- Aenima
"Wow... well these guys are my favourite band."
Faith No More- Angel Dust
"Well, those were at least 5 perfect songs."
Dream Theater- Scenes from a Memory
"Holy crap, now thats a concept album."
Tool- Lateralus
"Oh... my... god."


Each has influenced me in its own way.

PS- Please don't cut me up about My Own Prison, its actually a really good record if you give it the time of day. He has an awesome tone (Les Pauls into Peavey I think), and the songs are actually really good. Like, with bridges and interludes and everything. I mean, after that they got a bit crap and started an awful genre, but that first album is still really really good IMO.

[Bunf]

Oasis-be here now
(the cocaine album!)
radiohead-ok computer
(i discovered jonny greenwood)
super furry animals-rings around the world
(plastic soul pop at its best)
verve-urban hymns
(possibly the coolest guitarist ever)
idlewild-100 broken windows
(punk/poetry)

[J4oasis]

Radiohead - OK Computer
Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Incubus - Make Yourself
Coldplay - Parachutes
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

[reallygeeky]

Pearl Jam - Ten
Radiohead - The Bends
Dinosaur Jr. - Where You Been
Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
Pixies - Doolittle

[jrod9900]

I would have to say each record has led me to a different style of guitar playing.

#1 Gun's N' Roses - Appetite For Distruction (and Use Your Illusions)

#2 Stevie Ray Vaughn- Texas Flood (got the feel for the blues)

#3 Pearl Jam- Ten

#4 Creed- My own Prison (started me on dropped D)

#5 Kenny Wayne Shephed - Trouble Is (Developed my bluesy rock style even more)

If you couldn't tell, I'm a bluesy rock player when it comes to soloing, but I like to rock the f' out.

Peace,
JROD

[thurston]

Blur - Modern Life is Rubbish
Fugazi - In on the kill taker
NOFX - White Trash.....
The Jam - All Mod Cons
Propaghandi - How to clean everything.

[toneseeker]

In no particular order...

The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Fugazi - Repeater
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Radiohead - OK Computer
Jeff Buckley - Grace

[FuzzFan]

nirvana-nevermind
metallica-ride the lightning
the white stripes-de stijl
jimi hendrix-electric ladyland
moby-animal rights

[AndThenTheresMe]

1. Nirvana- In Utero
2. The Beatles- Abbey Road
3. The Pixies- Surfer Rosa
4. Radiohead- OK Computer
5. Weezer- Pinkerton (this is the album that started me writing lyrics)

In addition, I would like to point out that Nirvana's Nevermind had the biggest impact on me as a person, but in terms of my music, In Utero influenced me the most.

[AndThenTheresMe]

And to add to that:
1. In Utero- the sound of a broken man beating up on Fender guitars. changed my life.
2. Abbey Road- the very first rock and roll album I ever listened to. I was in second grade singing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" to this day, the medley songs just suck me in and inspire me.
3. The Pixies-Surfer Rosa - initial reaction: "what the ****???" and then I realized it was genius. "Where is my mind" was one of the first songs I learned on guitar.
4. OK Computer- A work of supreme art.
5. Weezer- Pinkerton- I know all the words. That album to me was adolescence in CD form. It is so dear to me.

[Crash]

This is hard to single out a few album's as my "Influences" but I'll give it a shot.

1. Flea - Intro Bass solo at Woodstock (The first time they brought it back don't remember the year)

"Holy ****, that's amazing, didn't know you could do that with a bass."

2. Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles

"Wow, that bass solo to start Calm Like a Bomb sounds pretty good, and you don't have to be a god to play it"

3. Pearl Jam - Ten

"Damn Ament has some really good bass lines, like Jeremy that intro is great. Maybe I should give this whole bass thing a try"

4. Our Lady Peace - Clumsy

"Without a doubt the single biggest influence on my style as a bassist, not the most complex lines but pretty solid and alot of slides instead of hammers/pulls"



And that's about where I am now, starting to get a little flashier though so maybe in another couple months I'll be able to finish this list. I have a feeling it's going to keep changing as I progress as a musician but at this point those are the big ones.

aaaaa dificult, there to many!, but I'll be honest.

The Bends
Ok Computer

Coldplay
Parachutes

Pink Floyd
Dark Side of the moon

Incubus
Make Yourself

[rip525]

Metallica- Ride The Lightning
The Beatles- White Album
Dave Matthews Band- Under the Table And Dreaming

Derek & The Dominoes- Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

[Wir-Click-Wir]

Nevermind by Nirvana
Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd
Doolittle by Pixies
OK Computer by Radiohead
Abbery Road by the Beatles

I'm too lazy to type out the reasons they were influential to me, and these are really generic, run-of-the-mill choices anyway, so they kind of speak for themselves.

[Ice age coming]

*Radiohead - The Bends
*Radiohead - OKC
*Muse - Origin Of Symmetri
*Muse - Showbiz
*Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

there is alot more than five tho....

[BleezeMonkey]

Well, here's mine:

#1 "In Utero" by Nirvana
Some of the best songwriting ever. Although "Teen Spirit" was the gateway drug to Nirvana (in MIDI format, no less), "In Utero" is their best album and the one I love best to this day.

#2 An album's worth of Metallica downloaded from Napster back when Napster didn't suck
Back in junior high band we played a festival at a football stadium with a bunch of other marching bands. "Enter Sandman" came on over the loudspeakers pre-game and, with the heaviest band I'd been exposed to before being Fleetwood Mac or something, I was quite smitten.

#3 Collective Soul's self-titled album
They're usually looked down on as being post-grunge imitators, or simply overlooked, but it's a great mix of classic rock and alternative styling with some incredible guitar work as usual from then-lead-guitarist Ross Childress. "December" was the first song I ever learned on guitar.

#4 "White Pony" by Deftones
Got me into heavy but cerebral music. I remember not being impressed until one day I strapped some headphones on and played it because I was tired. When I woke up I was like, "Holy ****, this is awesome."

#5 "The Moon and Antarctica" by Modest Mouse
Memorable for me because, like many people, I first hated Isaac Brock's singing and then realized it was awesome when I gave "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes" a true chance. It made me laugh, and then the rest of the album made my jaw drop. This was probably the first "indie" album I got into beyond mockery.

[Talent?!]

This is a blast from the past.


Iron Maiden-Number Of The Beast
Van Halen -VH
Steve Vai-Passion And Warfare
Slayer-Seasons In The Abyss
Megadeth-RIP

[cormac]

John Lee Hooker -- a bunch of old Folkways label albums i had :)

these were all vinyl when they influenced me (hope that's ok lol) -- they are in no particular order :)

[pinkerton]

What albums have influence my song writing or guitar play?

Guitar Playing :

Fugazi - Red Medicine
Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell

Thats it really. How I used effects probally comes from learning from guitargeek more than anything else.

As far as Song writing in concerned, Everything I listen to. I'd make a list, but that is a waste my time because you wouldn't read it.

[Niels]

I have a lot of influences but I'll give it a try ey;)
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
John Frusciante - Curtains
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Queens of the stone age - Songs for the deaf
Eagles of death metal - death by sexy

and I also have bit of britpop coming through in the more mellow songs I write.

[Carlos88]

the like - are you thinking what im thinking (those girls influence a lot in my songwriting and i have no idea why)

corinne bailey rae - corinne bailey rae (same as the like)

the beach boys - greatest hits

stevie ray vaughan - texas flood

smashing pumpkins - both machinas (cant choose)

incubus - morning view

i would like to add to the list any white stripes or bjork cd...

[wren]

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Pantera - Live 101 Proof
Skinny Puppy - Remission
Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve
Nothing - Nondescript: Ouroborous Vermiform Oroborous Sanguine

Limiting it to that 5 was pretty hard, and I feel like a lot got left out, but oh well.

I listed two for the pumpkins and nirvana since its really a mix of the two albums.

How times have changed. Right now, if I had to pick five albums that influenced the way I look at and try to play music it'd look more like this:

1. MBV - Loveless (production, and doing things I've never heard before)
2. SY - Washing Machine (Noisey, but melodious)
3. Yo La Tengo - Painful (Noisey, and spacey, but still poppy)
4. New Order - Power, Corruption, & Lies (Atmospheric, angsty)
5. Slint - Spiderland (Awesome)

[jeepster]

1. sonic youth - daydream nation/dirty
2. queens of the stoneage - songs for the deaf
3. the jimi hendrix experience - electric ladyland/bbc sessions/live at the filmore west
4. wilco - yankee hotel foxtrot/a ghost is born
5. the beatles - revolver

those are the cds i probably listen to the most, but i love just about every CD i own (itunes, whatever), but i try not to limit myself with just X amount of choices

[Granty Boy]

All Time Top Five

1. Rush - 2112
2. Supertramp - Crime of the Century
3. Dream Theater - Images and Words
4. Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites
5. Yes - Going for the One

Current Top Five

1. Zyklon - Disintegrate
2. The Answer - Rise
3. Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign
4. Deicide - Serpents of the Light
5. Spock's Beard - Day for Night

[maybe_dynamite.]

Off the top of my head:

Fugazi - Repeater
Hella - The Devil Isn't Red
Radiohead - Kid A
Pixies - Doolittle
Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers

[no_happy]

not overly sure but id guess at:

mogwai - happy songs for happy people : the mogwai album that started it for me

slint - spiderland : just awesomeness

isis - panopticon : an album that got me listening to heavy things again

sigur ros - () : i love it dearly

radiohead - kid a / amnesiac : they changed music for me

[ben_murphy]

nevermind...this is too hard.

i'm just gunna say guided by voices, alien lanes and leave it at that.

awesome album. pic up some of the live bootlegs from when he was opening for the doors in the late 1960's, their amazing and he plays some great licks.

[Zeppelanoid]

Well....

1) Led Zeppelin's Greatest Hits: The Early Days
-my first Led Zeppelin CD, showed me the world of Led Zeppelin, and classic rock, and blues, and blues-rock, and....all else that is wonderful.

2) Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
-Seem's like my autobiography...songwriting hits close to home.

3) Pink Floyd - The Wall
-changed my view of the world

4) Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Texas Flood
-just so awesome, makes me want to be a better/more passionate guitar player

5) Jimi Hendrix - Greatest Hits
-Beautiful.

I have to say that I don't undertand Radiohead. What's up with them? Why do so many people love them? Don't get me wrong, I have listened to them, and I find it enjoyable, but otherwise ordinairy.

[jeepster]

probably one of the best albums ever. listen to it straight through when you're trying to fall asleep - you dream in numbers

[whatgoeson]

chronologically:

1. Nirvana - Nevermind/ In Utero got me interested in music.

2. ***** Galore - Corpse Love "wow, they can't play, but they're awesome."

3. Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death "punk rock? what's that?"

4. Television - Marquee Moon "so you don't need a whole board of crazy effects to make great music?"

5. Devo - Live 1980 "I needs me a synth."


phew, this was hard. honorable mention to the Stones "let it bleed", the whole Velvet Underground box set, and Spacemen 3 "losing touch with your mind"

[slingshot]

1. Radiohead - Kid A/OK Computer

2. Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation

3. Doves - Lost Souls

4. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream (solely responsible for my love affair with fuzz)

5. Explosions In The Sky - The Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place

[teleman]

There aren't any CD's that have influenced me.

Albums, 45's and casettes on the other hand:D ;)

Musically, these five have had the most:

Bruce Springsteen Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA
Creedence Clearwater Revival-pretty much everything
Buddy Holly-pretty much everything
Dwight Yoakam Just Lookin' for a Hit (wel that one was a CD)

[Fuzzhead]

Ahh, cool thread.

Pixies, "Surfer Rosa/Doolittle" The kind of melodic weirdo-rock I'd want to make.

Sonic Youth, "Dirty/Goo" First noise band I ever heard, influenced my playing a ton.

QOTSA, "R, Songs For The Deaf" Just great heavy rock, and has jam songs that don't get boring. Influenced me enough to buy a hollowbody and a fuzz.

The White Stripes, "White Blood Cells/Elephant" The tone and riffs that made me pick up the guitar.

Stone Temple Pilots, "Tiny Music/No.4" Great genre-bending songs, great melody, first band I ever obsessed over.

Five artists, at least. Hard for me to choose favorite albums from favorite bands. Also, +1 to everyone that mentions "In Utero" over "Nevermind". :)

[changefly]

music that changed my life in some way:

1. rage against the machine, evil empire - started my obsession with music, i listened to this for a year straight

2. deftones, around the fur - my love of heavy music, but melodic and beautiful vocals

3. glassjaw, everything you ever... - my all time favorite album, so raw, so much aggression and emotion, but such memorable vocals

4. tool, lateralus - made me want to stop playing music because i thought it was so perfect.

5. weezer, blue - i return to this album more than anything i own. pure genious, feel good tunes, every track is memorable.



music that influences how i play guitar and write music:

1. pink floyd, the division bell - the most perfect guitar album ever

2. sigur ros, () - so heavenly, surreal, epic

3. DJ shadow, Endtroducing - my love of trip hop and creating hooks and layers that bring you to a chill mindstate, like getting drunk on sound.

4. glassjaw, worship and tribute - so dense, so accessible, so catchy hooky and so many guitar styles effects and layers

5. killswitch engage, end of heartache - so heavy but so melodic, great songs, structure and vocal variance.

[Granty Boy]

I'll keep an eye out for them - I've got the live CD he recorded with SRV and that's pretty good too.

[nocluejimbo]

Dream Theater - Live Scenes From New York
Jay-Z - The Black Album
Tenacious D - Tenacious D
The Beatles - White Album
Tool - Ænima

[acoustic_frippy]

Originally posted by jeepster

So very true :cool:

It is rather difficult to narrow it down to five albums that influenced your playing. At least for me it is :o

[Blown_A_Wish]

Blur - 13
Low - Trust
Radiohead - Ok Computer
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Elliott Smith - Figure 8

[intorvert]

I can't give you five albumns.

Five bands/artists, however:

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
MOGWAI
KORN
Frank Zappa
Trent Reznor

These bands/artists have shaped the music I've made more than any others. Not saying I sound like any of them, but they've stretched me to different places sonically.

[BasementJack]

Tool - Opiate/Undertow: the more 'raw', less produced guitar sounds.

Soundgarden - badmotorfinger: Kim Thayil's style kicks arse.

Deftones - Around the Fur: tone and feel

Alice in Chains - Dirt/Jar of Flies: rock and purdy

QOTSA: all of them.

[del]

My foundational influences are Kinks, Stones, VU, Stooges, Ramones, The Fall, etc...; but I think my playing is most influenced by a set of records that convinced me to embrace my limitations. Two of the cds listed include two albums, and another one is a collection of singles and eps, but it's a cd list and I stand by it.

Gories - Houserockin'/I Know You Fine, But How You Doin'?
Grifters - One Sock Missing
Guided By Voices - Vampire on Titus/Propeller
Pavement - Westing (by Musket and Sextant)
Royal Trux - Cats & Dogs

~del

[Living_Dead]

1. Siamese Dream (Pumpkins)
2. In Utero (Nirvana)
3. The Soul Cages (Sting)
4. Core (STP)
5. Stoner Witch (The Melvins)

[BobaFrett]

1.public enemy-it takes a nation of millions to hold us back
2.squarepusher-feed me weird things
3.rage against the machine-evil empire
4.black flag-the first 4 years
5.sonic youth-sonic nurse

[acoustic_frippy]

I'm with Ben on this...

...this is too freakin' hard :o

One of the following will suffice, though: Guided by Voices' Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, or Under the Bushes Under the Stars.

As usual, ~del has hit the proverbial nail on the head too :cool:

[jeepster]

a must have album. i throw it on everyone in a while and listen to it straight through. its missing some of the better dez stuff, and its hard to find now and days, but it generally has some of the best old school hardcore stuff ever on it.

[HardCoreChrist]

scenery and fish - i mother earth
re-load - metallica
access:d - delirious
room for squares - john mayer
authung baby - U2

[McBain]

1. Sigur Ros - ( )
2. Radiohead - Kid A

After some careful analysis, it is quite irrefutable that the double cd of Vampire on Titus/Propeller is far and away the best GBV had to offer.

:D :o :)

After even more careful analysis, I must postulate that the irrefutable best GbV had to offer is the triple-album that never was: Bee Thousand Under the Bushes and Under the Stars on Alien Lanes.

;) :p :rolleyes: :p ;)

...at least it's not Trilogy or Works, Vols. 1-3 :D

[gilmourgirls]

Tool- Undertow
Tool- AEnima
Tool- Salival
Tool- Lateralus
Tool- 10,000 days

dead serious.

[evenflow502]

1. Devils and Dust by Bruce Springsteen
2. In Your Honor by Foo Fighters
3. Tommy by The Who

2) Sleep - Dopesmoker/Jerusalem
3) Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
4) Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
5) Tool - Lateralus

These are my top 5, although I listen to most kinds of music cos I hate to tie myself down to one genre (good music is good music) it is these 5 that have influenced my playing style more than any others. :D
