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

More of a symphonic, power metal listener. Some I've really gotten into are Nightwish, Powerwolf, Sabaton, Windrose, and also Disturbed. Lots of great songs from them.

I love that so much great music is still being shared! 😊

Ministry is back, maybe even better than ever - didn't see that one coming (ok, it's 8 months ago, but I don't check up on this music that often):

Good ol' Funker is still active - not really the music I'd buy, but fun to see what they're up to 🙂

This one I like better - might even go with my new MADiSON game, lol

If the Borg made music, would it be like this? 🤔

Btw, turns out I was wrong, this is my new preferred MADiSON VR music 😅

- and this more than 30 year old tune is still one of my favorites, and just got remastered:

This one seems to have some potential:

CyberAktif with roots going back to Skinny Puppy is back too - how amazing, had to order that CD together with the Ministry CD:

With everything going on right now, I figured it'd be time to add a song of my own to this thread. Favorite song at the moment definitely has to be Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us. It is peak and has brought me back to the hip hop scene.

Kraftwerk's legacy 😉

Doom Dance by Gunship, featuring Carpenter Brut (wearing his Turbo Killer gas mask outfit)

I'm one of those awful "I listen to everything" people but I've definitely been leaning more indie as of late.

Twenty One Pilots just set off on their tour and I am so, so excited despite the fact I won't get to see them for another nine months 😅

Watsky's 'x Infinity' is one of the best albums of all time, for me. Found him on YouTube, like many others, loved 'Cardboard Castles', his more recent projects are also great but that one is the pinnacle for me.

If I want to chill a little more, I've got Minecraft Volume Alpha and the Oxenfree soundtrack on vinyl. Both are absolutely incredible OSTs and they look gorgeous too! I'm constantly on the hunt for a reasonably priced copy of the Sea of Thieves soundtrack so I have my full trilogy of favorite games.

And then I couldn't make a post without mentioning ("TBFKAEL"), hard life! They take pride of place in my signature and they were the first band me and my wife went to see together! We've been to a couple shows since then and I'm very excited to see what they release next after the chaos of their last year!

(Also, @kojack might be after my own heart with the Carpenter Brut and Caravan Palace shoutouts  🐐)
