Metallica. DOTM
I was talking to a friend about this band’s new album earlier and that prompted me do a DOTM on them.
Metallica was a good band for a while. Their first few albums were pretty good but they hit a point where the music was just kind of, well, lame. In fact, their last few albums have been down right disappointing. And then that whole fight with Napster kind of made me lose respect for them too.

…But Pink Floyd Doesn’t
And it is with that statement that I would like to post a DOTM (for newcomers that is Discography Of The Moment) for Pink Floyd.
I actually did one back in February 2007 on this very blog but after looking at it again it is kind of a sad DOTM so I figured I would do another better one.

As you might have noticed. I did not include any live albums or compilation albums. There are plenty of those to choose from however.
No videos on this one, sorry. Maybe in another post perhaps.
Anthrax Videos
I got the idea for doing a few Anthrax videos from Dave’s post Top 12 of 1992 where he surprisingly (to me anyway) put an Anthrax album on the list.
Here is the video for the song “Only” from Sound of White Noise, their first album with vocalist John Bush. I considered this their best album.
And here is a video for the song “Always Room For One More” also from Sound of White Noise:
And here is a video from the Belladonna era. It’s the song “Anti-Social” from the album State of Euphoria:
And another video from the Belladonna era. Strangely, this is the first song I ever heard from Anthrax and it is kind of what got me listening to them in the first place. Unfortunately, I could not get them to embed so you will have to follow the link. Sorry:
And lastly, a video of Anthrax and Public Enemy performing the latter’s song “Bring the Noise.” I actually saw these two bands live together once:
For any Anthrax fans out there, here is a link to my DOTM for Anthrax.
Blues Traveler: DOTM
I had never really thought about doing a discography of these guys. In fact, I only own one of their albums and don’t really listen to them much but I really should listen to more of their stuff. I got the idea of doing one of them because I have my iTunes on shuffle and it began playing the song “Hook” from the album Four
