I have no idea who Limp Bizkit is, lol, but I'll be sure to check 'em out, who knows, they may be the one of few metal bands I like. Im not a fan of Metallica (Although theres like 3 songs I like by them - I forgot what they were called...).

Re: Favorite Music Albums
Er.. Yeah, albums.. They still make those?
I just buy songs on iTunes, I know nothing about albums. o.O

You can only get the singles directly off iTunes. And you can get albums off iTunes - its not that weird.
(But, I rather own the physical cd form of the album other than a digital version from iTunes, but I only get physical ones of albums that are amazingly amazing like what I listed. Everything else I download illegally).

I just heard that song (I was looking through their catalog), and the song's amazing.

Re: Favorite Music Albums
Bobby, glad you liked Rollin', that's one of my favorites too. My personal favorite Limp Bizkit song is "The Story" off of Unquestionable Truth pt. 1. None of those songs were released as singles (even though The Truth has a music video.) If I was to select another song that you want to start with, "Break Stuff" is great.

AW C'MON...nah, I know. People's definitions of "metal" are really varying. Limp Bizkit is officially listed as Nu Metal (System of a Down, Disturbed, Korn, Slipknot) and Rap Metal (Linkin Park, Saliva, Kid Rock, Rage Against the Machine.) But the music industry's official labels are always off in some way - Three Days Grace and Evanescence are listed as "alternative metal." I, personally, would call Limp Bizkit rap-metal but not nu-metal.

Imma take random guesses: Fade to Black, Master of Puppets, For Whom the Bell Tolls. (I'll throw in Fuel and Sad But True just to be safe.)

Yeah, I would compare Limp Bizkit with Kid Rock and Saliva more than Disturbed and Slipknot.

Re: Favorite Music Albums
Bobby, I was thinking about your album list and I realized...no Beatles!?!?! I'm no huge fan but I'd expect Let it Be and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to on there.
Props for including Queen though. Aside from The Beatles, they're possibly the greatest band to ever perform.

I never really got into The Beetles, I don't know why, just not my type of music I guess. My mom LOVES them, so Im no newbie to their music, but Im just not a big fan.

Oh pfff, remind me how to read. I'm no fan of Green Day, Beastie Boys or Frank Sinatra if that's any sentiment. Beatles and Elvis I really like though.

I basically hate Frank as a person. Elvis is great, just not very great-great IMO. And Green Day truly are American Idiots...

I was like that for a really long time and I still am to some extent. I can tell you my favorite Michael Jackson song and do a full on analysis as to why, but I can't name a single album aside from "Greatest Hits." (And even an American Idiot could name that.) But at the same time, with bands I really, really like, it's easier to choose a favorite album than a favorite song because it gets more specific and the analysis is deeper.
Which reminds me...Bobby, no "2112" by Rush? I love that sh*t!
(sorry if I'm nitpicking your list too much.)

Re: Favorite Music Albums
1. I don't mind being quoted, please do. :P
2. I haven't really heard that album, nor any album by Rush... I actually own the majority of what I listed.

Listen to this when you get the time. And if you get even more time, listen the crap out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbxevw2FUck. I believe Rush and The Who are quoted as having the best drummers ever.
