Big L - Lifestyles ov da Poor and Dangerous
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=music&n=507846

One of the best ever.

A local group called Dove - dunno if they have any albums out cos I only have a dodgy bootleg. Full-on rock meets funny/abusive lyrics

Big L - Lifestyles ov da Poor and Dangerous

LOL he said an album that nobody knows of, anybody who listens to hip hop knows who big l is

for me it would have to prolly be La The Darkman - Heist of the Century. He is a wu-fam member

Falloutboy - Take this to your grave

From first to last - Dear Diary My Teen Angst Has A Bodycount

Matisyahu - Shake The Dust Off...Arise.

the guy's a reggae artist who also happens to be a hasidic Jew. sounds like a joke but the man has talent.

check out his performance on the jimmy kimmel show a while ago.

You wish. I'm not saying no one has heard of Big L, but he got VERY little commercial exposure. Not one hip-hop fan that I know personally has ever even heard of Big L, let alone hear a song by him.

If Big L was well known, when people mention raps legends, they wouldn't be excluding him. He was one of the biggest influences in NYC rap.

The Faint - Wet from Birth.

It's a pretty sick little new wave/rock/techno album

If you like The Killers or Garbage you might like this.


Local H- Whatever happened to P.J. Soul

Excellent rock album

Specific tracks I love are:
Everone's alive
California song (the anti California song song *yes i ment to repeat it*)
How's the weather down there
Hey Rita

all awsome tracks.

This would defientally have to be Wolfmother / Wolfmother EP, at the moment they only have a 4 track EP but all the tracks are awsome! Click here to listen to one of there tracks.

my favorite bands that no one knows about only means no one in america is that smart to pick up a UK magazine and find some good music that isnt fucking rap, nu metal, or sappy pop crap

anything by Idlewild except their first album

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives- Behind the Music

I would say those for now

Doctor Zoidy: Offspring is the band you were thinking off. and yeah, almost everything that's being done has already been done, but that doesn't mean that the sound can't still be good, or that a new twist can't be added. Op Ivy are still nearly my all time favorite punks, but they certainly weren't the first ones out there; and even that shit is from the 80's!

Gotta love and respect the originals, but i know there are new guys out there that can come up with some good shit too! I jus was wonderin if anyone had any favs.

And since you brought up ska and the rest.........we can throw that on the list too. Who're your favs?

Mine are probably 'your favourite CD that everyone's forgotten about'

Cry of love - 'brother'

The guess who - 'wheatfield soul'

Blue Cheer - 'vincebus eruptum'

MC5 - 'kick out the jams'

"Big L's legacy is pretty much hiphop history 101 - nearly every hiphop head i know has 'Lifestyles...' (and I live in London). "... agreed and im in south U.S. a truly unknown but sick emcee is Fel Sweetenberg from nuthouse crew the album is lost dreams wasted talent . i cant find it anywhere anyone even heard of it?????

Hal with their album of the same name is currently top of my cd pile at the moment. They are a Dublin band with huge west coast influences. I reckon they are going to make a huge spalsh worldwide

yeah diesel raven was on Clarence Park, which also features Proper Lofi and the addictive Lord of the dance

for all y'all wondering you can listen to all the tracks from his album in full @
http://bleep.com/

or more precisely:
Clarence Park
http://www.bleep.com/current_item.p...ction=WARP86_DM

Empty The Bones Of You
http://www.bleep.com/current_item.p...tion=WARP107_DM

the tunes play in 30sec segments i think after which you have to press play again to keep it going

Softer
Collective soul-1995 self titled rls
Kim Richey- Kim Richey Collection
Harder
Accept- restless and wild
S.O.D- Speak English or Die

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Take it From the man

this band is soooo incredibly cool/good, you can d/l all their albums off their official site,

www.BrianJonestownMassacre.com

such a cool band if you ask me! (make sure u go to the HTML version, if u wanna grab their albums)

john cena...cause he wrestles and im 13 all over again

Forgot about thsi thread..

Breaking Benjamin. They are gettin to be more known but they put on one hell of a live show.

Saves the Day. Almost too sissy for me but jsut on the edge so I dont feel all "emo" when i listen to it.

Alabama3. If you know em, then enough said. Crazy mofos.

Candiria. Really good to get stoned with.

Dave Grohl's "Probot". Everyone knows Dave Grohl but I don't know if anyones heard his solo/guest album. Its good.

jacks mannequin- in transit

BT-This Binary Universe (Amazing)
I love the CD itself, but the 5.1 DVD with the animated shorts is where it really shines.

It's disheartening to see a-lot of his fans turned off by this album because it's such a drastic change. It seems like this album is going by unnoticed, which is a shame. I think this is the best work of his career. I can't think of anything that's quite like it. Sure, it isn't ESCM, but who says that's a bad thing?

I just hope he has picked up at least as many fans as he's lost.

bumped from the dead... well, to answer a question i never saw, fav ska and punk bands would be:

The Invaders
The Aquabats
Millencolin
Bad Religion
Bosstones
Dexy's Midnight Runners
Rancid


and newer cd's that i love....

um...

MC Chris - Dungeon Master of Ceremonies
....
um...
Beastie Boys - Dr. Numbers mix....

thats about it for new music, at least something unheard of... been listening to a lot of NPR lately, and some podcasts (infected, infoworld)....
