For me it's been Graveyard's first album. For about 2 weeks now it's been the soundtrack of my life. It seems the tide is changing though, and now it's Rainbow - Rising. My god that's good stuff. I mean I am running with the wolf. In both cases, it's music that just makes me want to play.
So, what are you guys into lately?
After having just seen a killer Led Zeppelin tribute band Friday night, this week I've been listening to the early albums. For a lot of years there I really didn't pay much attention to them at all so now it's all hitting me real hard, especially the heavy songs.
Otherwise I've been mostly listening to the 10 CDs I bought at Days of the Doomed a few weeks back. Gates of Slumber, Pale Divine, Sinister Realm, Iron Man, Crucifist, Orodruin, Argus, Las Cruces, Black Pyramid, Kin Of Ettins, mostly all good.
I just got back into listening to "Fresh Cream" It used to be my least favorite Cream album now It's my Favorite.
total 13 by backyard babies is kickin my arse heaps right now
Red Fang's first album. Over and over.
Om - God is Good, Conference of the Birds, Variations on a Theme
Unsane - Visqueen, Scattered Smothered Covered, Total Destruction
Celan - Halo
The Pixies right now along with sonic youth. I'm just in that mood ya know.
I've been listening to the new Dark Castle a ton. Which is funny because when I saw them open for Zoroaster when Matador came out I thought they were only O K. This album is fucking great the songwriting is almost perfect lots of cool dynamics and great moods.
Mos Generator - songs for future gods. I don't know why I didn't buy this CD back when it was released. ???

oh. the stealth has a built in flanger?
Pentagram's new one "Last Rites" has been residing in truck's CD player since I picked it up. I've been taking a break from music and just listening to standup comedy for the last week or so though.

Both of the bands I'm in are currently in creative upswings so that's been keeping my itch scratched nicely. I haven't been listening to albums at all in recent times--just Bandcamp pages and other online resources but that new Yob song is pretty badass.
Boris-Smile. Lately the long form, psychedelic is what has been what my brain needs. And, reading.

yea I've been listening to Led Zepagain alot, as well as the usual Flower Travellin Band and Andromeda albums.
I'm going through one of my periodic phases where I get bored with rock music. I've been listening to a lot of those live Miles Davis records from the 70's, Dark Magus especially. Phenomenal triple axe attack from Pete Cosey, Reggie Lucas and Dominique Gaumont.

super killer record. those guys rule.
I've been listening to Fleet Foxes and Dylan allot lately. Been playing my acoustic quite a bit.
Also been listening to Dead Meadow
Judd Madden - Waterfall, Drown, Float. Those three albums have been on heavy rotation. A solo artist taking care of the drums, guitars, bass and piano. Absolutely amazing stuff. It makes me hold my guitar.

god, i can't stand fleet foxes.
Yeah and I think Kyuss is a giant pile of shit.
Tastes vary. Could be my age too.
tastes do vary. also, kyuss is a band where i can't listen to a whole album, but a couple songs every now and again is good.
Moondog. Been figuring out the sax parts on this one for guitar:
Also been listening to a lot of classical music: Dvorák, Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Mahler mainly.
I've been figuring out how to play some songs I dig, so as to help my own songwriting. That's pretty fun right now.
Sunn called it, I'm starting to go the Thrones route for a while. Trav the freak is building me a studio.

Trav would like me to mention that he's available for construction / home improvement work to anyone in the Central IL / St Louis area.

Yob
Karp
Great Falls
Electric Wizard
Sightings
YOB and Dark Castle, getting ready for the show in Gothenburg in two months.
Santana
btw we are talking 1st3 +caravanserai here, nothing else. his keyboard player is flat out phenomenal and as gifted as carlos is. never really appreciated how much that guy added to all the songs, and the incredible interaction between the entire band, but esp guitar-keyboards
santana does NOT use the same little trick/fill/wank over and over..he has a million of them. CS is way better than i had imagined, and those tunes are timeless
indian music..sitar/tabla stuff..ravi shankar and what not..
The Graveyard album is awesome. I just saw them live. It was at an outdoor felstival, good show, but would probably have been better at a smaller club.

what did you go and see them an bonaroo? How many wannabee hippy rich kids did you have to kill? They've been ducking questions about a u.s. tour. I guess I can't really blame them. They live in a place where people actually appreciate good music and they don't have to drive 12 hours between shows to get a decent turn out.
either way.. that new album is fucking solid. Only thing that pisses me off is that somehow my record is warped. Must've come that way, because I take care of my shit, but I noticed it like a month after I got it...not sure if Nuclear Blast would work with me that late in the game.

Uhm... Sweden is a fucking desert when it comes to Music (think of the general taste as "untz untz untz untz"). Most Swedish stoner/retro/something that doesn't suck bands are almost totally unknown around here (well, Graveyard do though seem to have gotten some attention lately) but such bands do rather generally seem to be more appreciated in Germany/US.
Uhh, and to the question: Bombus really hits the spot for me at the moment; think of it as a more punkish High on Fire. Red Sparrowes are also pretty cool; saw them live a week ago, and it was totally mindblowing.
Earthride
Sleep
Colour Haze
Randy Holden
Sungrazer
Causa Sui
Been cranking the Twin Peaks live record by Mountain. KILLER tones on it, guitar and bass.
From wikipedia, to illustrate the coolness of Mountain:
"West also used a modified Gibson Flying V, with the neck pickup removed (he used the hole for an ashtray)"

ahah that's awesome
1 pickup, 1 leg, keep moving.
I saw Graveyard at Bonnaroo and they were great. Among my favorites of the weekend. I would rather see them in a club though.

They played at a local festival called Ruisrock on a sunday afternoon. Bummed I didn't go see them earlier this year when they toured Finland, but they didn't come through my town.
