"Starting an album collection..."

Already got Frances The Mute, The Album 05 and Comfort In Sound. Looking to get The Killers album today so please reccomend me some albums of any genre. Also looking for a definitive Offspring album and Radiohead album.

I can whole-heartedly recommend them. If you get Origin of Symmetry, get Absolution as well, and then Showbiz to finish off the Muse collection :P

Aha! Muse. Heard one of their songs and I love it.

Time is running out I beleive

Chilis- Californication
Guns and Roses- Greatest Hits
Radiohead- Amnesiac
The Darkness- Permission to Land
Chilis- Live in Hyde Park
Muse- Origin of Symmetry
Elbow- Cast of Thousands

They're all albums where they have absolutely no filler. They're rare I might add, as many bands don't put 100% into each album.


Look into The Bravery, Bloc Party, Cooper Temple Clause, Kasabian, Stereophonics, Kings of Leon, The Clash,etc. They all do solid albums.

Albums is not buying albvums with your fave singles on, but sometimes that can uncover some gems.

On the field I remember you were incredible, hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah..

And the last song is worse than those demos you got on keyboards at school

I didn't have half of those before I read this. 5 minutes later, I do. Hurrah.

I quite liked Somebody Told Me, that quality throughout?

The Killers album does not have any bad tracks on it. It's just because people expect Mr. Brightside quality throughout, but that's an absolutely brilliant track. Listen to the later tracks, like Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll or On Top. Great stuff.

You said they sounded good... Now go buy their album.

Yes, we have been through this many a time.

The Killers album has some awful filler tracks on it..

And

The basic structure of any CD collection, these are the cds you have to own:

Nirvana - Nevermind
Jeff Buckley - Grace
The Clash - London's Calling
AC/DC - Back in Black
Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back
Radiohead - OK Computer

And personal recommendations:
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising
Brand New - Deja Entendu
Razorlight - Up All Night
Green Day - American Idiot
