I grew up on metal, though my tastes have changed over the years I still hold on to those metal roots. For the last ten years or so Nine Inch Nails has dominated my listening time.
A few of my top picks: (The list is far from complete, but I am somewhat obsessed!)
Nine Inch Nails - Only
Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug
Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below
Nine Inch Nails - Gave up
Nine Inch Nails - Non Entity
I have been spending a lot of time lately listening to Tool.
Tool - Vicarious
Tool - Sober
Some other greats on my c.d. rack include:
Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss ,
Pantera - Hollow ,
Alice In Chains - Down In A Hole ,
Ozzy Ozbourne - Perry Mason ,
Sepultura - Arise ,
Metallica - Harvester Of Sorrow (no video, live only) ,
Overkill - Horrorscope ,
Megadeth - Diadems ,
Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People ,
Korn - Thoughtless ,
ACDC - Thunderstruck ,
Testament - Low
I do stray from the heavier stuff from time to time:
Beethoven - Fur Elise ,
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Life by the drop ,
The Rolling Stones - Love is Strong ,
David Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans
I also have a broad range of songs that I like, but it all sort of orbits around the center of my musical solar system - Trent Reznor / Nine Inch Nails.
