Next Song By Song?

[Zzzptm]

We've gone through all the Black Sabbath... it's a fun exercise, so what album could/should be next? Doesn't have to be one we're familiar with, we could get an obscure or less well-known LP and go through it. I'd be up for some Thin Lizzy, for example, as I've only listened to Jailbreak all the way through, and that just recently.

I'm not sure I could go through a whole bands catalogue again. Doing the odd classic album from some bands might work, but we need more people to get involved.

I would be game for this but I'm not sure how that would do for others...my writings on these matters tend to rub people the wrong way which is why I opted out from those last few Sabbath ones. I don't want to cause friction.

[Zzzptm]

What if we have a one comment per song rule when talking about our impressions of the music? If there's a bit of silliness about one thing or another, let that run its course, but we just say all we want about a song, just our own views and not in reference to others except to say agree/disagree and leave it there. Nobody should be "wrong" for having a different impression of a song. And nobody should feel "wrong" for being the odd one out.

How about an album we all enjoy and wouldn't mind walking through again... Master of Puppets, say?

[Jack the Stripper]

^^Im for that. My idea would be classic albums or Sabbath family tree albums. So random Ozzy, Dio, Gillan, Martin, Iommi, GZR etc, any album that has an association with Sabbath.

Also another option could be for each to pick an album they love that they think most others aren’t all that familiar with..

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I like those ideas Jack... if it's my choice, I promise I won't include anything too obscure!

[Zzzptm]

OK, cool! Let's start with the ol' MOP from Metallica!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Some suggestions for future albums to consider. Just ideas, I've tried to include albums that most of us might like...

Dark Side of the Moon / Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Rust In Peace - Megadeth
Overkill - Motorhead (other albums are an option)
Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols
Back in Black - AC/DC
In Rock / Machine head - Deep Purple
Powerslave - Iron Maiden (other albums are an option)
Painkiller - Judas Priest (or another album if we must )

...please offer other suggestions.

Plastic Planet - GZR
Blizzard of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne
Iommi - Tony Iommi
Ward One: Along the Way - Bill Ward

^^^

I like that, but would have selected different albums:

Black Science
Diary of a Mad Man
Fused
Accountable Beasts

add to those:

Holy Diver - Dio

[Zzzptm]

I like 'em all, even the ones that make me a little, but that's what this is for.

How about also...

Thin Lizzy - Black Rose
Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards
Grateful Dead - American Beauty (in case we want a quieter album in the midst of the metal)
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush - What's Next
Rush - Fly By Night

Hmmm...

So many albums I've never heard...might be interesting to go through something that I've never listened to before...and reviewing the tracks fresh without many listens.

I think that since we're doing Puppets we should do Rust In Peace as well at some point...and Among The Living...and Reign In Blood...and Fabulous Disaster...just to get all those thrash classics out of the way...

[Zzzptm]

Rust in Peace next is my vote!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Nearly finished Rust In Peace.

Can I suggest either In Rock or Machine Head next I think we all like Deep Purple.
