"Tunes worth downloading"

If you like rock, or think you might like rock, but your experience of rock is Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Bon Jovi (pick any number of easily available and typical chart-rock), then take a note of the following songs and check them out.
They're a little bit away from what you might think rock is.

Corrosion of Conformity - Clean My Wounds, Albatross, Senor Limpio

Clutch - Easy Breeze, 7 Jam, Red Horse Rainbow, Sinkemlow, Nickel & Dime

Slayer - Angel of Death, Skeletons of Society, South of Heaven

Faith No More - The Morning After, Evidence, Just A Man

White Zombie - Welcome to Planet Motherf###er, Thunder Kiss '65

Down - Stone The Crow

Helmet - Unsung, Give It, FBLA 2

They're all not what you may think rock is.
Some are fast and aggressive (Slayer), others are fantastic blues jams (Clutch).
But they are all worth listening to if you think rock starts and stops with Sum 41.

Pure Rock Fury

The latest and pretty much the best.

"Only Red Horse Rainbows can save us
Let them run wild and asunder
Call the royal gaurd to let the people in
Flaming arrows by the hundreds"

I think I may just go straight in and buy an album. Aint bought a cd since... oohh god knows but its been a long time..

Recommendations?

If you're going to get Clutch (and I recommend you do), then the following are a good representation of them:

Red Horse Rainbow
Sinkemlow
Open Up The Border
Easy Breeze
Release The Kraken
Big Fat Pig
Who Wants To Rock?
Four Lords
Guild of Mute Assassins

60 Watt Shamen? Never heard of them.

Mind you I still aint heard Clutch.. must get my act together!

Fu Manchu rock too.. very 70's.

I saw Kyuss in Camden Underworld in 95 - it was one of my defining moments in rock. Everyone was making a pit down the front but me and my mates we just boogying at the back off our heads.

Back in the day..

I downloaded Demon Cleaner and a couple of others but the quality sucked.
But what I could hear, I did like.

60 Watt Shamen are similar to Clutch & Kyuss, worth checking out.

Please will somebody download some Kyuss...

Try:

Supa Scupa and Mighty Scoop
Gardenia
Whitewater
Allens Wrench
Green Machine


If we're talking stoner they are the kings.

I've listened to Slayer before, briefly. Didn't like it. I'll go download Stone The Crows. That sounds interesting.

Jimi covered Dylan's version of it, and while most people actually prefer the Hendrix version, I'm inclined towards the Dylan original. But that's me. Both are superb.

I may be way off here but dont you mean Jimi Hendrix?

For me, no cd/mp3 collection is complete without:

Don McClane's 'American Pie' 'the only American Pie',
Mama's & Papa's/Beach Boys' 'California Dreaming',
Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower',
Lynard Skynard's 'Sweet Home Alabama'.

This is just one type, rock isn't normally my type so I'd be interested to know what category this falls into.

Try Turin Brakes too, the best stoner music I've ever heard. Kinda cliche, but you can't go wrong with the Chilis.
