Slipknot - Slipknot


I've only recently gotten into Slipknot but i really like them. This is their first studio album, and they make a pretty unique sound with their 9 man band. My favorites on this album would have to be "Diluted," "Eyeless" and "Wait And Bleed." All in all it's a pretty sweet album. Buy it here! or alternatively Download (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zhzjnmdjjyo)

Howard Shore - The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King


The third and final LOTR movie, and with it the third and (in my opinion) best of the three soundtracks. Tracks like "End Of All Things" and "The Fields Of Pelennor" are great dramatic tracks ("End Of All Things" is kind of a mixture between dramatic and a lone oparetic voice, its quite interesting).

Howard Shore - The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers


The second installment in the epic trilogy, and once again the music is almost as epic as the movie itself. Howard shore really knows how to blow you away, and successfully does so with this great movie soundtrack. My personal favorites are "The Hornburg" and "Forth Eorlingas," but Emiliana Torrini's track "Gollum's Song" is also a great one. Buy it here! or alternatively Download (Part 1) (Part 2)

Howard Shore - The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring


The first of the three LOTR soundtracks. These three are three of my all time favorite soundtracks, and I also recently found out that Howard Shore also composed the music for one of my all time favorite movies: Mrs. Doubtfire! Anyway, the score for this movie is absolutely brilliant, and some of the tracks are so good that you can actually visualize what's happening in the scene. My favorites would have to be "Concerning Hobbits" and "The Bridge Of Khazad Dum," but there are tons of other great ones. Buy it here! or alternatively Download

Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly


Possibly the most well known theme tune ever composed is on this soundtrack. Ennio Morricone has really made a short but brilliant masterpiece of "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly." My three favorite tracks would have to be the title tune, "The Trio" and "The Ecstacy Of Gold" which I never knew was Ennio until after having heard it on multiple live Metallica videos: it's their intro!
