Official Rock music thread

Dookie is one of my favorite albums ever. Everything else is alright, but that album is still a great listen.

Billie Joe is the only reason I'm not a bigger fan. Every interview I read with him, he comes off like a douchebag.

I've always liked Nimrod the best, but Dookie is still excellent.

In terms of the big "punk is not dead" albums in 1994, I always liked The Offspring's Smash the best, but Rancid "... And Out Come The Wolves" and "Dookie" were also solid.

I'm like you in that I like Nimrod and Dookie but not the newer stuff so much.

Anyone have any tips for some rock / rap combo acts kinda like Rage Against the Machine (pretty much my favourite band of all time)?

Wait, the Foo Fighters played for 3 hours on their own? Or both bands combined?


....anyway, the best pure SHOW--as in "spectacle"---I've ever been to was Rammstein this past May. Simply amazing.

As far as my favorite shows? Probably one of the many Bad Religion concerts I've been to. They had one a couple years ago where it was focused on the albums from 1988-1990, so that was perfection.

Soundgarden was pretty badass when I saw them in July. Probably one of the best straight up rock concerts I've been to.

Other favorites would include The White Stripes, Black Keys, and the Drive-By Truckers.

Haven't seen them mentioned but Avenged Sevenfold's album Nightmare is great from beginning to end.

Also, Disturbed as a whole is fantastic. Can't wait for a greatest hits compilation.

Can't agree more about Green Day putting on the best show. I went with the gf (Huge GD fan) to one of their concerts last year and it was seriously amazing. I don't really even care for their (it's?) music, but they did put on the show I've ever seen.

On their own. Though, they did have a break where it seemed as if the show was over but they came back out to play 7 more songs.
