Ok, so in an effort to acquaint myself better with my TOCAU brethren (and to up my thread count :P ), list either:

1. Whatever albums have changed your life, or make your top 10 of all time...and/or...

2. What albums are you holding out for so badly you'll probably pee yourself with joy when you get them!?

I'll start you off with a few of many...

Top Notch Albums:

1. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater

(Anyone who says DT arent good obviously can't play an instrument!)

2. Tribute (live) - Ozzy Osbourne (Randy Rhoads, RIP, what an axe player!)

3. Be Here Now - Oasis (their worst selling album at 3 million copies believe it or not)

Albums that have me drooling in anticipation:

1. Systematic Chaos - Dream Theater

2. Unia - Sonata Arctica

3. Paradise lost - Symphony X

4. Bonkers 17 - Various (Amidst all my heavy rock atm, im somehow intrigued by happy hardcore :blink: )

So come one, come all, list some great music, share the love...

Cheers, Leroy

ALBUMS THAT HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE:

1. The Killers - Hot Fuss (Woke me up from my R&B/Hip-Hop nightmare). This was the milestone that got me into Alternative Rock.

2. VA-Death Row Presents - A Hip Hop History (Showed me that it's not lame to listen to gangstuh rap). The classics were and are still the best, now it's all record label created puppets.

3. The All New T.F.U Mixed CD by Orkestrated a.k.a. Adam Bartas and Dean Paps. (I just discovered this recently, where have I been without dirty dirty electro? Music which I can out dance my girl friend to.) LOL

All-time greats:

Anything by Faith No More

Opeth - Morningrise, Still Life, Ghost Reveries

Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Metallica - Ride The Lightning

Antonin Dvorak - Symphony No. 9 From the New World

The Crystal Method - Vegas, Tweekend

Eagerly anticipated:

new Opeth

anything with Mike Patton

Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos

In an interview with Tama.com, drummer Mike Portnoy described the album as "Heavy and technical, powerful and dynamic — all of the elements that people kind of expect out of a Dream Theater album. All of the styles and sounds are intact, but we wanted to make it a real sonic explosion. It's very dramatic and aggressive."

According to his official site SWHQ, Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree is guesting on the album. Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth can be heard providing guest voicework in "Repentance" along with Steve Vai

I have officially died and gone to heaven.........

Some awesome stuff in there guys!! Was quite surprised to see some melodic death get represented! \m/

Was also cheering to find someone else who trawls through Tama.com on their minutes off...haha... Mike Portnoy is the reason i play Tama actually...

Keep it coming!!! Surely theres some more classic tastes in there? I remember seeing a post once about someone wanting to go to George Benson/Al Jarreau? If it was you please put up some good soul/jazz for everyone's reference...surely there are some Nina Simone/Ella Fitgerald etc Fans out there...

Some more awesome albums for you all:

"Subsurface" - Threshold (this has stayed in my player for the last month, oh *** the soaring choruses!)

Anything by Jamie Cullum

Anything by Nightwish (except their first album, cos that was bollocks)

Anything by Seal (this man is pure genius. check out Seal II for clarification - ambient pop done on real instruments)

Please tell me you're a drummer who is partially or heavily influenced by jazz?

Haha. I am influenced by all music, good sir. You see the thing with jazz, is that i dont find it too melodic. I prefer more structure in my music. Bach (as in JS Bach- classical composer), for instance, provides great examples of what i'm into. In fact, the metal albums listed in the first post are all pretty much just classical compositions with heavy guitars and a singer, to put it really generally. Prog is also very much my thing!

So, unfortunately no... i can't say my playing style is influenced by jazz too much. I certainly worship jazz drummers for their chops, but its not something i try too often to emulate. I certainly like listening to it though...

The dynamics are great, and the skill is mind-boggling....but it just doesn't take me to that higher place :)

Oh yeah, another classic album: "Vol IV" - Toto (RIP Jeff Porcaro)
