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

    Epic stuff, @bigmike20vt @pyroth309 


    I'm still on a Daron Malakian trip (from SOAD).

    His live stuff is great. I really like the Guitar/Bass work on this performance,

    There is so much impact with this song in its simplicity.


    David Lynch is like a gonzo Neil Young.

    I became an instant fan of Enya the first time I listened to her music. Now I'm listening to a lot of Celtic music. Very calming and relaxing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImBGY1jeTH0

    I really enjoy this type of music, thanks for sharing! It's great music to keep running in the background when I'm working or just cleaning up the house.

    Some of those songs reminded me of an old favorite RPG, Secret of Mana. Great nostalgia.

    Clannad were awesome back in the day. One of the best things about the ITV programme Robin Of Sherwood in the 80s was Clannad doing the music for it.

    Yea, I like some of the Celtic music for similar reasons. Some of it is very beautiful and interesting. A lot of it though also is like background/ambiant stuff for me which I don't really care to listen to much. Plus it makes people think I'm having a Renaissance fair or something in my house lol.

    Here's some of what I'm listening to lately:

    Nahtram
    This is a one man instrumental project. It's pretty great.

    My current leader for my AOTY is Omnium Gatherum's The Burning Cold. 
    This song is great and has an early In flames Vibe that I love. 
    https://youtu.be/fyULD6N0XuA

    This track is a solid Mid Tempo one with some great melodies. (Get to the chorus at least)
    https://youtu.be/s-fdDntIbdk

    My man Dee Snider put out a solid metal album. At 63 years old, it's amazing that he can still sing like this.

    And lastly, Night Verses lost their singer and decided to just put out an interesting progressive instrumental album. I really enjoy it.
