I needed a pick me up.

I decided that there wasn't enough metal being shared currently so here's some of my favorites.

Mudvayne: Out To Pasture

Spoiler

Oh, Sleeper: Hush Yael

Spoiler

This one is actually about a real thing that happened, so for anyone curious enough to look, it's about what this guy did.

Bullet for My Valentine: All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)

Spoiler

Five Finger Death Punch: The Bleeding

Spoiler

Shadows Fall: King of Nothing

Spoiler

Avenged Sevenfold: Chapter Four

Spoiler

Also this song is about the story of Cain and Able, from the Bible, for context on the lyrics. Interestingly enough, Avenged Sevenfold's name also comes from that story.

How about some 60s music that is awesome? I'd be shocked if any of you knew this one. Mr. Creep by Spur.

Spoiler

And did somebody request...Metal? How about some bands that are going on the Summer Slaughter tour?

Spoiler

These guys aren't on that tour, but this is AMAZING!!!

I forgot about this song, pretty damn good, coming back to it now.

I was playing Civ V earlier today so now I'm listening to Hybrid Rainbow by The Pillows. It's a thing I have that I always listen to the Pillows when I play that game. The two go together very well!

So, yesterday, I bought 6 new CDs, and I've already listened to them all. They are:
Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo
In Step by Stevie Ray Vaughn (for all you Texans)
Strikes by Blackfoot
Point of Know Return by Kansas
Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Pieces of Eight by Styx

I figured I'd let you all listen to what is so far my fave song off of each of those albums. Long post today.

So, there was a complete thunderstorm yesterday back home. And flooding. My neighbor's corn field is almost under water.

And I all could do was think of songs that mention rain.

I may have been one of those people who got into their music through an anime, but damn they still have some really good stuff.

Can I hijack this thread a tiny bit to ask for some music suggestions? My poor MP3 player is sooo lacking, and my world is small, so I have not been exposed to as much music as I should have. The thing is, it might be a tad hard since I'm a bit all over the place. I'll name bands whose music I like consistently (really not that many) and post some songs I really like in the hopes that it'll help. For the most part, though, I enjoy music that has a faster beat and a singer with a pretty distinct voice. Oh, and if it sounds like an oldies song I might like it.

Groups I like: Queen, Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Harvey Danger, and Bowling for Soup.

Some songs:

Oingo Boingo. I've posted a song from them earlier. They basically released 80s style dance tunes with really unique lyrics and a unique sounding singer. You've probably heard his voice before. Oingo Boingo's lead singer, Danny Elfman, would end up becoming very close friends with Tim Burton and has done the soundtracks to nearly all of the movies he has directed. You've probably also HEARD him sing before, as he provided the voice to Jack Skellington in "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Spoiler

The Psychedelic Furs were a really neat sounding group from the 80s (ok, I've been on an 80s pitch lately). Unique sounding singer also.

Spoiler

Talk Talk. Listen to their entire career. Over 5 albums, they went for sensible pop music to acoustic music to beautiful orchestral arrangements. Take a listen. (And yet again, more 80s with a one of a kind singer)

Spoiler

I really hope there was something you enjoyed in that selection, Hex! I just pulled some stuff out at kinda random.

I am mostly a jazz listener. Smooth jazz(tom scott) to jazz from the 1930s as well as jazz from artists like Vince Guaraldi, video game music, as well as music from japan. Here's an example of the said jazz music I'm into.

This is one type of Jazz I quite like.

[A Zombie Riot]

Anyone else listen to Skillet's new album, 'Rise' yet?

I freaking love it!

[CosmykTheDolfyn]

^Nope, I haven't yet...
Well, here's a mix of stuff for my 500th post! Woot!

Spoiler

Awesome moment in rock history right here. So, American Bandstand was a TV show where bands were supposed to lip-synch performances. Johnny Rotten decided to throw that out the window, and then have everyone come on stage as he just acted all sullen and the beautiful sound of Public Image Ltd reverberated everywhere.
