I'd have to go with their album, Pretty Hate Machine. Definitely an awesome one.

You know I was thinking of something the other day..what exactly categorizes a song or album? I used to be told NIN was alternative, but others think its rock/metal. Its hard nowadays to tell where exactly a band fits. Like the Cure, I always thought it was alternative too, but some people consider it just 80's, which I didn't even know was its own category. So give me examples, what falls under each:

Alternative
Rock
Metal
New Wave
Hip Hop
Rap
80's
mainstream
R&B
Country(hell even those lines aren't clear anymore either lol)

Other categories? and are some the same thing?

[ObiwanGinobili]

Alice in Chains - Dirt
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the Moon
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
AC/DC - BAck In Black , HIghway to Hell
Metallica - Master of Puppets , Ride the Lightning
Judas Priest - British Steel
Megadeath - Countdown to Extinction, Peace sells who's buying
Ozzy- Blizzard of Oz, Sabbath - best of sabbath.
GNR - Appetite for Destruction
Sepultura - Beneath the remains

[mavsfan1000]

Scorpions - Lovedrive
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Rage Against the Machine - Battle of Los Angeles
Korn - Untouchables
Tool - Aenima, Lateralus
The first Rage CD is much better.

[Spurminator]

I'll try to stay within the "Metal" category... Since rock is pretty broad.

Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Rush - A Farewell to Kings
Rush - Permanent Waves
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Ozzy - Diary of a Madman
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss

Nelson owned Winger

[tlongII]

I thought for sure you were going to say Winger, afterall they did sing your anthem: "She's only 17". :lol

I saw sparks fly, from the corner of my eye
And when I turned, it was love at first sight
I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name
Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, but I'll show you love like you've never seen
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
Come to my place, we can talk it over, oh everything going down in your head
She said take it easy, I need some time, time to work it out, to make you mine
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, you ain't seen love, ain't seen nothing like me
She's only seventeen, seventeen
(Solo)
Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime
Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline
She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove
Oh she's my soul, it must be love
She's only seventeen, still she gives me love, like I've never seen
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
She's everything I need, daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough, old enough for me

[Ballcox]

^ Thanks, just came up with those off the top of my head. I'm sure when I get home and check the CD collection some others will come to mind. I was lucky enough to have a friend of mine convince me to see Soundgarden after Loud Love came out, didn't know shit about them, but their show was amazing, was hooked at that point.

[Spursdaone]

Classic Queen and Queen's Greatest Hits.

[chungoman]

you guys like incubus? thats my favorite non-argentinian band. RATM is cool too.
btw what to you think of audioslave?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pantera- Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display of Agression


LOL vulgar display of aggression....thats funnier than vulgar display of power when you say it out loud

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you guys like incubus? thats my favorite non-argentinian band. RATM is cool too.
btw what to you think of audioslave?

(neither of those three are metal, but..)

Incubus is really good, saw em at lollapalooza, they rocked, SCIENCE was by far the best album tough, DJ Lyfe much better than DJ Kilmore

RATM is ridiculously bad ass in every way imaginable...

Audioslave is like a cheap slut ripoff that is good looking from a distance....kinda like Ashley Simpson was hot the first time you saw her cuz she had those big Simpson T's but when you kept seeing her on her show you realized how hideous she was

[mavsfan1000]

NightRanger's Greatest Hits
Europe The Final Countdown

[Spursdaone]

Artist : Foo Fighters
Song : Monkey Wrench

Lyrics :

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit
Into my head I still remember every single word
You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was
Always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench

[Cant_Be_Faded]

i never understood what he meant by one in ten

[Spursdaone]

I don't understand it either but all I know is that it rocks and is a classic.

Pink Floyd The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
This probably is the most underrated album from Pink Floyd. I didn't like this album at first but really enjoy is after listening to it multiple times. Psychedelic Rock rules.

POISON - Open Up And Say...Ahh! (1988)

[mavsfan1000]

I am not a Poison fan at all. That group embarrased the 80's music which there were some great groups.

[3rdCoast]

"Nothin, but a good time....."

[mavsfan1000]

There were a few 80's bands I didn't like. Poison is on the top of that list. Another band that sucked was Mr. Big. Van Hagar sucked. The list goes on with sorry 80's bands. People should remember the good 80's bands like the Scorpions, Dokken, and etc.
