That's cool, but did somebody sell you their set? The first ones -- including Big Beat -- are OOP.

Yep, my contact (and new BFF) ordered two of everything and decided he only needed one set so I get the second set. I had been kicking myself for the past couple of months for not getting in on the set from the beginning so now I have been given a second chance. I guess I lucked out this time.

Oh, and JP#s is my enabler too. :laugh:

Highly popular mainstream metal or industrial albums:

Slayer - Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss

Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power, Far Beyond Driven

Ministry - Psalms 69 (The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs)

NIN - Broken, The Downward Spiral

Metallica - all through s/t, skip to Death Magnetic

Megadeth - all through Countdown to Extinction

Sepultura - all through Chaos A.D.

to me "mainstream" industrial ended with The Downward Spiral, and most of the good "mainstream" metal was 80s / 90s. the above is a horrendously incomplete list, am on iPhone.

not sure if I consider current contemporary favs mainstream. Opeth, Mastodon, etc.

You're just now getting to these? These are like H.C. staples, man.

oh no sir, you misunderstand! I was responding to Asr's above request for popular mainstream metal/industrial releases. I've had all those albums forever.

I dunno what you already have, so sorry if these are too obvious.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid, S/T, (or any of their first 6 albums really) Heaven & Hell, The Mob Rules (these are both with Dio, which is different but equally awesome)

Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast, Powerslave

Dio - Holy Diver

I think Sabbath is even more important than most people realize... it's amazing how many of their songs have seemingly spawned entire subgenres of metal,

Good catch, I didn't even see that part of the post. Could probably make this a whole separate thread, but I won't unless there are enough posts to merit it.

The definitive electro-industrial album to have, if you have no other -- I have to agree with Dark Angel about this -- is Skinny Puppy, Singles Collect. I think it's no coincidence that this is one of my top 3 favorite groups of all time. Yes, really, even with the brapping.

Metal Industrial Crossover -- Nine Inch Nails, Broken is a good place to start -- also Pretty Hate Machine was a launching point for a lot of us at the time. I also really dig The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste by Ministry (as well as Land of Rape and Honey).

"Industrial" will always garner arguments, as there are at least 3 different styles with that name. There's the Wax Traxy dance industrial done all on synthesizers and sequencers -- and Skinny Puppy; there's the metal industrial crossover stuff, and there's the old school (early Einsturzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, etc.). There was even a metal label who called a lot of their acts as "industrial", though it didn't really sound machine-like to my ears at all. So after you listen to some, tell us which you really like and want to hear more of.

Will post about metal later.

Rasputina? Not instrumental, though, and only one cellist (I think), but it is front and center.

I mean, the short answer is no, not really, there aren't any other bands that (a) consist entirely of cellists, and (B) rock/rawk.
