Dood. I feel like not enough people know about ISIS. (What a fortunate name that proved to be ) Panopticon is such a brilliant album.

At the mid 80's I played in a Prog Rock band and I named it EISIS. It means E double sharp in German.

Browsing my Collins Gem Dictionary of Music I came with that name, and all the band members liked it.

And these names are familiar, but not the music:

Tool, Primus, Suicidal Tendencies, Muse, Styx

I heard a Muse song I really liked on the radio while at work, so I dug them up on You tube, came across this concert, and was hooked. Something about their use of tech, the awesomeness of the show, and the musical diversity, not to mention Matt's immense talent and stage persona.

Maybe it'll do the same for you. (Oh and don't judge it by just a few songs. They are diverse.)

Oof, that’s hard. Here’s the list for today:

Blackwater Park - Opeth
Fleet Foxes (1st album)
Wavering Radiant - ISIS
Lateralus - Tool
Diamond Life - Sade

Bonus: The Universe Smiles Upon You - Khruangbin

Wait a minute! You forgot about:

The Trials of Van Occupanther - Midlake
For You - Tatsuro Yamashita

Still thinking about my top 5, but the Midlake album is definitely in there.
