Here's mine...

I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.

I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

Howdy! First post, but I am into oldies stuff, but I enjoy some new! I ADORE Andy Lau ( just lust after him and his voice for ages) and I'm a fan of Rick Astley,Elvis,Prince,Uncle Kracker,.....loads of varieties, I just have yet not figured out how to put any music on my phone. Yes,I'm old,(56) and only recently finally got rid of my flip phone and want some of my music on the VR music apps!

I've been on a huge Future Islands kick for the past month. Not just because of VR sensation "Old Friend"; I really liked the song 'Seasons (Waiting On You)' long before that, but the spotlight of Old Friend did compel me to seek out more of the band's work. As far as I can tell.. it's all great.

Complimentary: Gang Signs. Miike Snow. Empire of the Sun.

I've also been listening to the following song at least a few times per day. Never heard of them until Pandora snuck it in while listening to some of the previously mentioned bands:

Mmm, 'dat bass.

It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.

This past week I revisited an old favorite, Judas Priest.

I'm currently obsessed (again) with the song, Revelations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xHMrCAwnU

I started listening to Priest at a very young age (elementary school). And a riff from the song, Victim of Changes, was one of the first things I ever learned to play on the guitar. There is so much to talk about with this band, but for this thread I will just focus on the progression the singer, Rob Halford, made over the years. I think it is great the way he evolved as a singer and a musician. He did a fantastic job of owning his lifestyle through the years, as well as managing his stage presence with each unique approach to song writing.

I ain’t rich, but I damn sure wanna be
Working like a dog all day, ain’t working for me
I wish I had a rich uncle that’d kick the bucket
And that I was sitting on a pile like Warren Buffett
I know everybody says
Money can’t buy happiness

But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say
Money can’t buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

They call me redneck, white trash and blue collar
But I could change all that if I had a couple million dollars
I keep hearing that money is the root of all evil
And you can’t fit a camel through the eye of a needle
I’m sure that’s probably true,
But it still sounds pretty cool

'Cause it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can’t buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

To float down on the water with a beer
I hear the Powerball Lotto is a-sitting’ on a hundred mill
Well, that would buy me a brand new rod and reel

And it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can’t buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can’t buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat
It could buy me a boat
