Anything by Leonard Cohen - that'll definately take your mind off ANY long journeys!!!!LOL ;)

Seriously, a good mix of rock/metal tracks always works for me. 'Dad Rock' rulez!

Howabout some of the old hip hop ?

Howabout some of the old hip hop ?

isn't "old" & "hip hop" a contradiction?;)

and as for R&B - it is rhythm & blues - not rhythm n bass - or whatever - pop/soul/blues/country/folk was complicated enough - why did we go more complicated than that?

garage - hip-hop - rap?

I liked the eminem show album tho - just to dis myself:)

Seems hip-hop is older than you think. Take a look here :-Timeline - history of hip-hop (http://www.ask.co.uk/ix.asp?q=history+of+hip+hop&ac=ENTS&xx=0&qid=30600407067CD240BD061C7ABBEC7DDA&p=0&s=1&sp=ix&fn=t&b=0&fo=2&r=10&io=1&fp=1&fr=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eb%2Dboys%2Ecom%2F&adurl=)

Get the Chilli Peppers' latest album "By The Way" - surely the greatest CD of the year :)

I must admit what I've heard so far from that has been good - might have to go and buy the album.....

Also there was a similar thread a while ago - but that was Kronas looking to 'expand his horizons' - try http://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1617

No "by the way" was by far the worst red hot chilli peppers album ever. They have became to mainstream, there earlier albums are far superior.

[Russ]

Nah - they've just mellowed in their old age :)

[XiceWolf]

I just think there changing there style to appeal to the masses :(

[ic14]

Ive being looking at getting some red hot chilli peppers albums, from what ive heard of them there brilliant!

[Russ]

And why not? They've done just about everything else.

[XiceWolf]

Because at least then they had there individual style. Now they arent as impressive in my opinion as you put it have "mellowed out".

Totally agree.

"Blood Sugar Sex Magik" is IMO still the best RHCP album.

They went downhill after Fruscianti (sp?) left. Got a bit better when he returned from his "time off", but still not as good.

Has to be Mother's Milk for me.
