Im pretty obsessed with Alexisonfire at the moment... so some good songs to download would be :
"Accidents"
"Control"
"It Was Fear Of Myself That Made Me Odd"
"No Transitory"
"Hey, Its Your Funeral Mama"
"Get Fighted"
"Happines By The Killowat"
"White Devil"
"That Girl Posessed"
"Sharks And Danger"
"Sidewalk When She Walks"

ok... basically the entire "Watch Out!" cd is gold. The first cd is pretty wicked as well, but the new one is way better.

I don't think he wanted depressing death metal, he was after mainstream stuff "that everybody knows".
There's not one death metal band in that list, so get your facts right before you lay the boot in!

Dont know if Alexisonfire really counts as "rock songs which everyone knows and is must have?"

Anyway

Emerson, Lake & Palmer, "Fanfare for the common man", "Lucky Man"
Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free Bird", "Simple Man"
Buffalo Springfield, "For What It's Worth"
Anything on the Forrest Gump soundtrack, seriously
The Doors, "Light My Fire", "Touch Me", "The Unknown Soldier", "Break On Through"
Led Zeppelin, "Immigrant Song", "Dazed And Confused", "The Rain Song", i could go on forever...
Pink Floyd, "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2", "Echoes", "Money", "Wish You Were Here"
Simon & Garfunkel, "America"
Bob Dylan, Greatest Hits Volume 1
Yes, "Roundabout", "I've Seen All Good People"


There's a few well known things that you should have.

pick up The Eagles' Greatest Hits and work your way up from there.

also essential to any collection is:

Guns 'n' Roses - November Rain
Back in Black - AC/DC (both song and album)
Grinspoon - The Guide to Better Living
INXS - Greatest Hits
Midnight Oil - 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...
The Darkness - Permission to Land

U2 - Greatest Hits (1980-1990) goes down pretty well too

and that's just to get you started my boy ;)

Once you discover the brilliance of BLONDIE, your music collection will be complete. :)

Guess it makes those of who have listened to her music all the more richer. :cool:

Looking to expand my collection.

Cheers.
Tell us what you like. Tell us what you have heard recently and liked. Tell us what you've heard and liked but haven't fully explored.

Will give people a better idea in what direction to point you in.

Here are some 'greatest hits' albums to explore. I'm trying to keep this relatively 'commercial'. If you like what you hear, you can enjoy exploring the catalogues in more depth:

Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror (Recommend Ten and Vitalogy)
Nirvana - Nirvana (Recommend Bleach and Nevermind)
The Doors - Best of (Take your pick, there are about 637 versions out there)
Bad Religion - All Ages (it's modern day folk music)
Custard - Goodbye Cruel World
Faith No More - Who Cares A Lot? (Best band of a generation)

Some other albums to check out:

Muse - Absolution
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
The White Stripes - Elephant
Radiohead - OK Computer
Monster Magnet - Dopes to Infinity
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command

Not necessarily each group's best album, but a handy starting point.

Sounds like Jack Black's collection (and there's nothing wrong with that).

What bands I like? I like:

Trapt, Chevelle, SR-71, Staind, SOAD, Trust Comapny, 3 Doors Down, A Perfect Circle, Alter Bridge, Dream Theater, Jimmy Eat World, John Bulter Trio, Pillar, Puddle of Mudd.. you get the drift.

Lately I've got: Acceptance, Anberlin, Radio 4 and Taproot.


I'm really looking for probably 80's to now songs that people know by the tune of the song. Songs like: Sex and Candy - Mercy Playground, Somewhere only we Know - Keane, What I Got - Sublime, Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana.. not really looking for Hard Rock/Screamo that blows your speakers out nor Emo.
