[King Postwhore]

That Live sing is killer. Gave me chills seeing it live.

[Indiscipline]

Thanks Soundscape!

A couple of those have been already submitted, but great job nonetheless.

My brother listening to Metheny would be like a dog watching a magic trick, while Genesis (and Yes) is not his cuppa; we're already tempting fate with Marillion 

[Indiscipline]

79 songs so far, people. Amazing.

I expect the night to bring business to 100. Listening begins tomorrow morning.

I love this place.

ah, well that track from Metheny gets surprisingly pretty heavy at 1 point; i.e. t's not all that much like a lot of his music.

If he doesn't care for Yes and Genesis, I suppose, although that Genesis tune and that whole album has a more modern feel to it, more than any of the their previous records really.

The Mew tune is great, but also based on your comments, it may be too soft for him (namely the vocals).

[Indiscipline]

I'll keep the great tune for me if he doesn't like it 

[The Walrus]

What does Boom mean? 

[Indiscipline]

MrBoom_shack-a-lack (sorry, pal!)

Spelling that correctly on my iPad could give me a nosebleed 

[The Walrus]

Oh. I'm so dumb. 

[King Postwhore]

Indi, Song For The Dumped - Ben Folds Five. Not rock or metal but angry AF!

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Oooh, this is a fantastic idea, let me take a gander at my collection.

Question, are we looking for stuff mostly in the realm of metal/rock? Or are we looking to expand your brothers musical horizons?

[Indiscipline]

Metal/rock.

He had metal tunnel vision to begin with, and age has only expanded his belly 

To be fair though, as far as metal is concerned, he ranged from Van Halen to Morbid Angel.

[TAC]

Or Stratovarius's Visions: Black Diamond,

I said that too. That's a great song.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'm just going to go with my absolute favorites of 1997, regardless of genre and let you sift through them.

Godspeed You Black Emperor! - The Dead Flag Blues (Post-rock)
Savatage - Turns to Me (Heavy/Prog Metal)
Symphony X - The Accolade (Prog Metal)
Foo Fighters - Everlong (Alternative Rock)
Enslaved - 793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne) (Progressive Black Metal)

I see Devin Townsend - Bastard was already mentioned, but that would be another one.

Edit - It seems I got beat to the punch on Turns to Me, The Accolade, and Everlong.    Well that should tell you how good those songs are.

Thank you Puppies! 

Turns to Me, The Accolade and Everlong were already in, but cheers!

[Anguyen92]

We're throwing Big Wreck in the frey?  Sweet.

I'll choose in addition to The Oaf, I will add That Song and Under the Lighthouse.  I guess I'll also add Blown Wide Open.

Edit: Also, I guess as a superfan of a certain band.  I will add this song from where 3/4ths of that band used to be in this megahuge band.

Creed - Torn.

Yeah, I just noticed that and edited my post above 

[TAC]

Alice Cooper released A Fistful Of Alice,  a live album in 1997.

It contains a studio track, Is Anyone Home, which is pretty mediocre.

But the prize of that album is an ultra rare live version of Teenage Lament.

Thank you Anguyen! 

@TAC: great tip, but I would stick to studio releases
