Wow.

Is that a good wow, like "Wow, I can't believe that you have such fantastic taste in music"?

Or a bad wow, like "Wow, how could anyone like this crap"?

hehe.. well its just one of my favorite albums.. I just didn't know you were "down" with them. Now i want to send you a stoner rock comp. Though when it comes down to it, most of those bands are just imitators of Kyuss. Though I must ask if you've heard SPINE OF GOD by Monster Magnet.. I think you'd dig 'em.

Well bring it on my friend. The stoner comp that is.

As Mad R pointed out, he turned me on to Kyuss earlier this year. And I can't thank him enough (thanks!). I grew up listening to a lot of stuff like Sabbath, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest. Along with the proggier stuff like Yes, Kansas and Floyd. I took a break from the metal scene in the late 80's and 90's so I never really got into bands like Metallica and the like. My tastes have mellowed more to the proggy side as I've grown older, I guess that's why most folks around here think of me as a progger. But I still love a good head banging album as much as the next guy/gal. Bands like Kyuss, QOTSA, and Mars Volta have renewed my taste for metal. As long as the vocals are clean. I love a good distorted guitar, but I can't stomach the growls of death vocals.

I haven't heard of Monster Magnet, but after looking them up on AMG, I'm very interested. Let me know if you need my addy.

and....thanks for the offer!

P.S. While we're on the topic....what do you guys know about Masters of Reality? If I wanted to test the waters, what's a good disk to start with?

I love that Sunrise On the Sufferbus disc. It's the one with Ginger Baker on drums and production. Not really too representative of the rest of their catalog since it's more hard rock than metal or stoner, but very cool and probably a bit more radio-friendly than some of the rest. Easily available for ultra-cheap on the used market, at least I used to see it a lot. Some pretty catchy and inventive songs.

If you haven't heard it, I recommend this.
