Depends on how you define "VT style"...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, blah, blah, blah...

Me, I'm thinking guitar driven, no bullsheet, power rock. So I'd say AC/DC, MotÃ¶rhead, The Ramones... And for something more contemporary, Nashville Pussy and The Donnas. But only Lemmy's lyrics have that certain edge that

's have.

Bit of a weird one to say.. I mean I like Vision Thing because it is strangely off-kilter compared to what you would call "rock".. that's why I love it so much...

having been brought up in a house where I was smothered by MOR it really was a refreshing change...

(shoves it on MP3 player right now...)

Motorhead - Orgasmatron, interesting Bill Laswell production

Hard to tell, but these contain some VT elements:

D.A.D. - Riskin' it All
Monster Magnet - Powertrip
Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub - God
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Automatic

I was listening to Automatic earlier and I agree with you. This was the album they started to play around with drum loops...heard best on Honeys Dead.

I've just remembered that this album by Mark Lanegan reminds me of Vision Thing.

I thought about Lanegan as well, but decided he's a bit too slow, moody and bluesy.

Yeah true, but he has a similar vocal style to Eldritch, I think...kinda sounds like he's not exactly singing and on this ep he's using a drum machine

It's a very good ep! Way better than Vision Thing

I even think it's the best Mark has ever done...

UFO - Obsession and No Place to Run

Vision Thing is "ZZ Top with swearing".

Posted: **12 May 2006, 18:08**

Faith No More.

No idea what the album's called but they had a few decent hits like Midlife Crisis, Ashes To Ashes and From Out Of Nowhere plus they're not unpartial to the odd cover version - Easy Like Sunday Morning.

Then I'd say almost every ZZ album since Eliminator.

Funny, I'd never really consider VT to be a "rock" LP.

Definitely "rocky", or "rockist", or "rockier", but not "rock", for sure. Most probably because, in common with virtually all "goth" stuff, it's almost completely devoid of a blues influence, and rhythmically it's very rigid (that'd be the Doktor).

Maybe some Skinny Puppy would be close in my books. "Rabies", I think.

Of course, we all missed an obvious candidate:

Ahhh, Nothing Else Matters - classic!!

Posted: **12 May 2006, 21:16**

the album where Metallica lost it, IMO

Posted: **12 May 2006, 21:23**

Posted: **12 May 2006, 21:32**

Eeeew.

That looks like blood.

I thought they were losing it with "And Justice For All"

I once lost my CD holder in Abu Dhabi airport, and had to face an 8 hour flight back to the UK with no music at all. We changed planes in Bahrain, so I bought St Anger.
After one play, I preferred the in flight movies!
