The Music Thread

Share some of your favorite songs, artists, ideas, creations, etc.

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"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBQ2305fLeA


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

    So back on to Stevie Ray, Hendrix, Zappa…

    One band that I think keeps this type of "soul" alive in Metal music today is Mastadon.

    Ok, what's the most non-Britney Spears thing I can think of?

    Maybe some Tom Waits.

    This is a desert island song for me - this is a studio track The Band recorded after they stopped performing live with The Last Waltz. You can definitely hear Robbie in full control here but it only makes me wonder how much his excellent solo output would've benefited from having the livelier playfulness of all 5 of these guys.

    Speaking of his solo music:

    Ok, back to serious music. No more puppets, I promise.

    When I was young, my favourite group was Talking Heads.

    Man everybody is doing Once in a Lifetime now - even the "President"

    Seriously though, Talking Heads were so awesome:

    This is one of the occasions where the live version is as relevant as the studio version - both share similarities but are extremely different from one another for reasons outside of production:
