Ive tried this quite a few times, and it's bloody hard.
If I were making one for me (which I have)- I'd struggle to narrow it down to 20 + I think deftones are a album band anyway (in that their tracks carry maximum impact when listened to in full album consession) so that makes it hard too, add to that what mood I'm in etc etc.
But the beauty of them is, the CD will be totally different depending on who you are making it for - if you know their musical tastes. A chick's would be different to a male mate's - and then depending on who either person is, different again.
(did that make any sense at all?)
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is Deftones cater for EVERYBODY, that's why they have some of the most passionate fans in the world.
needs more Battle-Axe
I would add something from Adrenaline (7 words?) and eliminate Rats. Seriously, I can't even believe it's a Deftones song. :(
give your mate the whole discography,
he'll listen the shit one by one, in chronological order
and this way he'll make his own true opinion of the band.

I know this is not what you're asking in your thread BUT I think you should make him download the entire discography of the band. To me, its impossible to list 10-20 songs.
You'll give him the chance to listen to every little piece of Deftones.

Adrenaline is the one Deftones album I've never really liked.I listened to it a few times and put it aside - maybe I need to give it another chance.Rats! - I love Rats! - the screaming is brilliant and I love Abe's manic drumming towards the end! Beautiful!

Yeah agreed - how anyone can say this album is boring is beyond me - it's just so dark,so heavy,so brutal,so deppressing, so dam beautiful.It's a masterpiece for sure.How can you not love an album that has songs like Hexagram,Pins and Needles,Good Morning Beautiful,Minerva,Bloody Cape,Battle Axe etc etc etc

Yeah it's not working - missing too many good tracks like Headup,Knife Party,Around the Fur etc - he needs to listen to all the albums!

I don't feel like getting into all this again ( because it's been argued WAY too many times around here ) But just FYI, I think ST is their worst album. I pretty much only really like Battle Axe ( which just happens to be one of my favorite songs all around ) other than that, Minerva and bloody cape are....OK. The rest of it I don't really care for or ever listen to. And I have fantastic musical taste.
I will admit that i was really disappointed with S/t for awhile. I dunno what happened but i just kept liking more and more songs. Its hard to say i have a favorite deftones album cuz its all about my mood. I do love S/t though.
I had a whole bunch of 15 year old deftones fans offended a couple years ago because I told them I didn't like ST. So because I didn't want them to slit their wrist, I promised I would give it a couple more listens. The fact that I didn't like WGTB seemed to be the worst of my iniquities. So I gave that one a couple extra listens. I guess by the end I at least understood why they all loved that song. But I haven't listened to it since.
Lol eh...i didnt care for any of the screaming songs at first. I remember i liked the intro to hexagram and would switch to pins and needles as soon as chino started screaming. I think i just forced feed it to myself enough times(cuz i was tired of every other record) that i started to enjoy it.
Whatevers clever. Just not my thing. But I do think that ST as an introduction to Deftones is a gross misrepresentation of their talent. ( with the exception of Battle Axe of course. )
It definitely isnt the catchiest album with the first listen. I dont think i would recommend it for an intro to the tones either but i still think they should eventually check it out.
As it has already been stated. This entire thread totally depends on this individuals taste in music. Plus it should be explained to them the time period when these albums came out. So that they can appreciate some of the trail blazing Deftones did, instead of think that they just fell into a genera and copied another bands sound.
I agree, they were a groundbreaking band. There still is no one that sounds like them.
Yeah well whether that is true or not, a lot of bands have tried. Which is why so many people try to classify their earlier work into nu metal.
Just give your friend Lotion on a $2 memory stick.
