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"

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

Deicide are fucking awesome ... I have had a somewhat weird mixup growing up blending rap and deathmetal life situation.

Really don't know how I missed this, back in the day (early 80's) - but I stumbled across it a couple of years ago and it's great:

Totally reminds me the Dukes of the Stratosphere project that XTC released which apparently he had a big influence on. It also reminds me of The Buggles.

Glad to have something new to look deeper into! :)

Time for some of my favourite British bands (there are so many so I will keep it to 5 videos and I will forgo The Beatles and The Stones because everyone knows 'em, lol):

I don't think I have ever listened to her music, but I have Googled her named plus the word "naked" a few times.

I haven't thought of this song in years and then I found myself humming the melody and go to look for it and find it has a new stereo mix.

After so much talk of the bands from the 60's and 70's, I can't believe Uriah Heep hasn't been brought up yet!

I love "Lady in Black." And Ensiferum has a great metal version of it.
