  1. Good guitar rock, blues, that kinda stuff? The trick is to really branch out into styles you're not familiar with. That's how I got into much of the stuff I'm into.

    Try these for a few good recommendations - I listen to this stuff quite regularly.

    Somewhere in the back of my head it says an order over 25 pounds can ship to Sweden for free...


    Yeah, I noticed. Get that too with International Superhits & Dookie. That will start you off nicely.

  3. Thinking about maybe something from the Boss?

  4. Magic or Greatest Hits to get a feel from the early days up to Lucky Town - a fine album that one. Took me a while to appreciate but it's really worth the listen.

    Actually, if you're ever curious about a band, go for one of the Essential collections. You usually get two discs or three with the 3.0 series (deeper cuts) and they span anywhere from 25 - 45 songs for next to nothing - live, demos, rarities, alternative versions, edits, single versions, the lot. I've got about six of those, by far the best compilations out there.

    The best Essential is probably the Stevie Ray Vaughan one followed by the Ozzy Osbourne set if you don't mind re-recordings of the classics.

    I'll have to look at what my dad has first, maybe I can talk him into financing buying some Bruce...

  6. Have you checked out Aerosmith or Alice Cooper?
  7. What about Guns N' Roses or Red Hot Chili Peppers?
  8. I haven't checked out many bands at all

    I could probably get some ideas from listening to this that's lying on the desktop.

  9. Recommended ChiDem a few posts up. Not sure if he's into that orchestra / hard rock / nu-metal stuff though.

    I see the Stones and KISS listed on that box.

    KISS are a hard band to recommend because they're so cheesy (compilation, don't get the studio albums without knowing what you're in for) but the Stones...you gotta get a hold of Exile at the very very least, then Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Some Girls and Bigger Bang. Though you can get a compilation of the Stones (Rolled Gold is fantastic) and get a real feel for them.


  10. I was thinking more Appetite for Destruction, to be honest. I never listened to Chinese Democracy after the crap reviews that everyone gave it. I think you were the only person that actually liked it.

    Led Zeppelin - go for them. Everyone likes them.
  11. ChiDem was alright if you got it, but it's hard to get. Not physically get the album, just musically Just incase someone misinterpreted it.
    Would definitely recommend Appetite For Destruction for a straight edge, raw rock album.

    Depends if you don't mind change, you might like it. But Axl took so long to get the fucker out there, nobody really gave a shit when it came out. Editing issues and stupid lyrics aside. I'd definitely recommend Appetite, the two Illusions and Lies. I hate Spaghetti Incident...horrible album and I can't even get past that first song, the whatever it was called.

    Led Zep of course!!! ZOSO you have to get. Also try and get a hold of Aerosmith's Honkin' On Bobo, Rocks, Draw The Line, Toys, Get Your Wings and the first record. I'd recommend some Alice Cooper too.
