MQ: What are the most random lyrics you've ever heard?

I've decided to ripoff both Iceage and The Game in order to discover R&P's favorite album titles. The rules are the same as Iceage's and The Game's; suggest one album title, JUST one, and the answer with the most thumbs up wins each round. Thumbs down DO effect an album title's score.

BQ: Now playing?

Do you ever just think, "Cool name, maybe I should check this out,"? Have you ever found a band you really like using this method?

I do this a lot actually, and it's how I got into Diablo Swing Orchestra and Los Amigos Invisibles, two of my favorite bands of all time.

BQ: Most awesome song title(s) ever?

BQ2: What about album(s)?

BQ3: Now playing?

So, She Bop by Cyndi Lauper is playing on my Last.fm library radio. The catchiest song about masturbation I've ever heard. So I'm just curious, what are your favorite songs about going solo?

BQ: What do you think is worse? Someone who's a genuine poseur and knows nothing about the music he/she pretends to like, or an elitist who constantly rants about how people listen need to listen to "real" music?

BQ2: Favorite live album?

BQ3: Um, I can't think of anything. Oh what the hell? Now playing?

For me it's Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath, especially those last two verses.

They say that life's a carousel

Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well

The world is full of Kings and Queens

Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

It's Heaven and Hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white

The moon is just the sun at night

And when you walk in golden halls

You get to keep the gold that falls

It's Heaven and Hell

So what song describes your view on life?

BQ: Now playing?

Too Late by Black Sabbath

BQ2: Do any have you have a good foreign/non-English language film you think I would enjoy? I'm open to all types of films.

BQ3: On occasion I've seen users talk about how boring R&P has become. Do you think this is true, and if so what do you think the reason is?

Not anything huge, just some lyrics from my favorite song on my left shoulder. Other than knowing that it's gonna hurt when I get it and for a few days afterwards, I don't really know what to expect. I know from past experiences that sore skin and hot water don't mix, so what's your suggestion for that? Would I just have to take cold showers for few days? And is there anything specific that I would need to use to soothe the pain, or will any type of pain relieving ointment do? And how how to I know if something's seriously wrong?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You shall find no Maidens and Priests here, my fellow R&P members. What you shall find is NWOBHM bands and albums that deserve more credit than they get. I'm imploring my fellow metal fans to decide which wrongly ignored album from the NWOBHM era is the best.

Satan - Court in the Act vs. Blitzkreig - A Time of Changes

Holocaust - The Nightcomers vs. Tank - The Filth Hounds of Hades

Legend - Death in the Nursery vs. Angel Witch - Angel Witch

Demon - The Unexpected Guest vs. Cloven Hoof - Cloven Hoof

Tygers of Pan Tang - Spellbound vs. Tokyo Blade - Night of the Blade

Praying Mantis - Time Tells No Lies vs. Samson - Head On

Raven - All For One vs. Grim Reaper - See You in Hell

Elixir - The Son of Odin vs. Battleaxe - Burn This Town

Girlschool - Hit and Run vs. Rock Goddess - Rock Goddess

Quartz - Stand Up and Fight vs. Vardis - 100 M.P.H

So it's National Metal Day, and it's Veterans Day. I figured why not ask a question that deals with both?

Aces High by Iron Maiden

Dedicated specifically to my great-uncle who served in the 305th Air Division.

BQ: Do you have any veterans in your family?

I've recently really gotten into The Damned, and what really hooked me was Dave Vanian's vocals. What are some other bands that have singers with a similar style?

Where you just listen to that band/artist's discography (whether this be just studio albums, or those plus EPs/demos and live recordings), and nothing else. I know I'm not the only one who does this, so tell me, if you also do this from time to time; what band/artist did your last music marathon focus around?

BQ: Now playing?

BQ2: (Current) Album of the year (any and all genres/subgenres/sub-subgenres welcome)

Going to fall asleep to the soothing sounds of Skepticism. Specifically their album Stormcrowfleet. Do any of you have albums/songs/bands you put on when you're trying to fall asleep?

I really enjoy Absu, who hail from my home state of Texas. Really amazing blackened thrash band that incorporates all sorts of different styles into their music, I'd recommend them to anyone who enjoys extreme metal.

BQ: What do you think of their latest release?

I have to say that Abzu is my second favorite Absu album after Tara. It's a catchy and memorable blackened thrash album, and a great metal album in general (one of the best of the year in my opinion) and the production is incredible, raw yet polished (if that makes any sense) and the last song, which clocks in at 14:26, is by far one of the best extreme metal songs I've heard in a while.

Mine's Phobophile by Cryptopsy. The atmosphere is perfect, and the lyrics delve into the psyche of a madman...too bad Lord Worm is impossible to understand.

BQ: Favorite horror film?

My vote has to go to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Great acting as far as slasher films go, the way it was shot gives the film a gritty sense of realism and the fact that there's very little gore works in the films favor.

Because I just got around to discovering Joy Division. I am blown away.

So are there any bands that you just recently discovered that are widely acclaimed?
