      Since we’ve had TOOL mentioned here numerous times, we should also add PRIMUS to the mix…

      Difficult to say which is their best album, but for now I’ll suggest:

      PRIMUS - Sailing the Seas of Cheese

        Primus sucks!

        (If you don't know what I'm talking about there and think I'm hating on them, I'm not).

        I'd go Frizzle Fry for my favorite of theirs.

        Think it, be it.

          You guys are going to hate me, but…

          Primus opened for U2 (ZooTV tour) back in ‘92.  I had never listened to Primus before and only listened to about 5 minutes worth at the concert before I walked out.  Haven’t listened to them since.

          I just didn’t get it, and never bothered to look them up again.

          Am I missing anything?

            And, agreed, Frizzle Fry is also one of my favorites [emoji106][emoji119]

              Yes, Les Claypool is arguably the greatest bass player ever! If one is  looking for heavy slap bass and hard hitting drums, with a blend of funk and thrash metal, then Primus is the answer.

              To each his own.

                      There's no law saying you have to like Primus. Les Claypool is weird, writes weird lyrics, has a weird voice, and plays the bass weirdly, applying a modified banjo clawhammer technique to the instrument. I am quite surprised they managed to get the level of popularity they did.

                      Breaking Bad is probably my favorite drama of all time, in any medium, and also my favorite TV show. I might place Mr. Robot up there too.

                      On the sunnier side of the street, Seinfeld is in the list, as is Always Sunny.

                      Think it, be it.

                            Might be lacking 'classics' but my listening habits have tended to be centred around new releases over last last decade or so…

                            1. Hellfire, black midi - A cohesive concept album about life, sin and hell, and the tightest 40 minutes of experimental rock I've ever heard. In fact it's almost insulting to label it that due to the vast array of genres the band draw from on this record…

                            2. Magdalene, FKA Twigs - The most beautiful record I've ever heard. The production is absolutely insane and I'm still noticing new nuances and flourishes on each listen.

                            3. American Beauty, The Grateful Dead - This one sent me down the never ending rabbit hole of Grateful Dead live sets, but nothing comes close to what this record makes me fell as a standalone experience.

                            4. Blond, Frank Ocean - An absolute odyssey of experimental, psychedelic R&B/Hip Hop. Such a raw and honest insight into the artist's life and mind with truly transcendental production.

                            5. Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, Sturgill Simpson - Opening up with my favourite song of all time, Turtles All The Way Down, Sturgill draws influence from Tibetan Buddhism and various psychedelic experiences to make sense of his experiences in life and love. I find such beauty and poignancy in his insights and would recommend this album to everybody I know.

                            “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

                                          [mention]steelworker [/mention] nice choice on the Ramones. I think I listen to other Ramones albums more these days but that first one just blew me away. I love listening to it on vinyl turning it up loud and hearing those symbols crash.
                                          I hated Sandinista when I first heard it. I love the Clash but that album just did nothing for me. Then listened to it years later and I couldn’t believe how much I loved it. What was my younger self thinking!
                                          I also wanted to put some Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash on the list but I could never narrow down an album from all that material.
