question about b0lly's favorite albums

aeroplume · 12-02-2006, 10:55 PM

i know some of his favorite albums are atom heart mother and the wall, but i was wondering if anyone knows where to find a list online of what his favorite records are.

i.e. what his favorite sabbath record is and shit like that.

there are some blatant lifts from 'sabbath bloody sabbath' and 'masters of reality' by black sabbath in the mellon collie era material. if you can't hear them, you know fuck all about music, buddeh.

An artist Billy obviously loves since he has done at least 2 covers of his tunes (plus the dead project of Numan/Replicas cover band, back in 1996).
What a great artist, too bad he is a long forgotten one.

Alan Wu · 12-03-2006, 10:40 PM

he likes the album Queen II- he says its his all-time favorite

You better be joking

And b0LLyZ has cited Low, and Seventeen Seconds many times, as well as Sisters Of Mercy's first LP
He either picks odd "honorary" #1 fave albums, or just has strange taste in good bands. No way is 17seconds thebest Cure LP, and SoM made their move with Floodland
*ahem*
back to Billy and not me

while it's hard to compare seventeen seconds and records like kiss me or disintegration, to me it's the best in the way the album works as one piece. the album is the hit song or whatever. it's an album you can get lost in, and it's not as tortured as most [all?] of the others.

Favourite Bowie Album - Hunky Dory

Is this your favourite Bowie album or Billy's? And if it's Billy's, how do you know? Was it in an interview?

mccririck · 12-04-2006, 07:19 PM

Albums I've seen him mention:

The Beatles - Rubber Soul
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Van Halen - Fair Warning (he interviewed Eddie Van Halen for a guitar magazine back in the 90s, I think I still have the magazine somewhere)
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East

In a MCIS interview James mentions that there a lot of Judas Priest riffs in the new album and he says he could point them out if you want and Billy goes "no dont!"

Nope, sir !
In fact, maybe half of me is joking....
Since Cars & not THE cars is a Gary Numan song.
the Cars is, indeed, a very good band to check, and a very influential one too for Billy & cie.

Anvil Hands · 12-05-2006, 03:03 PM

I think he mentioned he liked a band called Rainbow.

i never heard of them.

This is it http://www.guitarworld.com/allaccess...-corganvh.html

I don't know really specific albums, but I know bands. He likes david bowie, T.Rex, big star, and joy division

almisivi · 12-05-2006, 06:25 PM

oh, and also the frogs and thin lizzie... I read something about bc going up on stage with a paper bag over his head and playing guitar with the frogs

Rainbow was a big one, didn't he say something once about being pissed when he went to see Blackmore and Man on the Silver Mountain wasn't played?

Also, I thought his favorite album was one by Rush...I forget which...

I can see alot of the pornography/ disentigration Cure in Adore and Machina. Especially Mahcina.

wpc33 · 12-06-2006, 12:43 AM

Cool enough, Robert Smith loves The Pumpkins quite a bit. Robert said in '97 that he never thought he'd love a band as much as he did when he was a teenager until SP came along.

Maybe he didn't want to play songs by his old band?

Actually Rainbow can be a fun band, when in the right mood i.e. fantasy imagery, guitar heroics etc. The song you mention is a good one.

From what I remember Billy says Hemispheres (concept album c.'78), but mentions the song Cygnus X-1, which is off A Farewell To Kings ('77). Both good albums during Rush's guitar-heavy prog period.

NovaFritz · 12-06-2006, 09:52 AM

I'm pretty sure that besides Ace of Base, New Order(and, JD, of course) is a pretty big influence on BC. I'd like to assume its from records like Everything Gone Green (or Closer).
Also, I remember from his Zwan-era iTunes playlist, he had Siouxie and the Banshees and Mahaveeshnu Orchestra (forgive my spelling). The first is a nod to Smith and the second made a few VERY SOLID albums. So these must be his favorites.
