Have been doing some travel lately and so although my gaming time suffered, I listened to a lot of music. I like many kinds of music but especially have been in the mood for classic rock lately.
I submit these 5 songs that you simply can’t turn off when the come on the radio:
Lynyrd Skynyrd - “Freebird”
Boston - “More Than A Feeling”
Scorpions- “Rock You Like a Hurricane”
Cheap Trick - “I Want You to Want Me”
Rush - “Limelight”
So, on the 16th this month I'll be going to The Bomb Factory in Dallas to see the Japanese band Scandal. It's a four piece girl band that's made themes for Fullmetal Alchemist and Bleach. They kinda sound like your usual pop rock, but they've had consistent quality over the years and are probably my second favorite Japanese band (only behind Asian Kung-Fu Generation).
Here's two songs, Shunkan Sentimental and Image. The former was their song for Fullmetal Alchemist and the latter is one of my personal favorites.

I'm old school and still like physical releases and am currently waiting on the delivery of;
re:member - Olafur Arnalds
All That Must Be - George FitzGerald
Kin (Original Soundtrack) - Mogwai
Dance Music - Mastersystem
Three predominantly instrumental artists and then one by a band I've not listened to. The latter is bittersweet as the band contains Scott Hutchison, the lead singer of Frightened Rabbit (one of my favourite bands), who committed suicide earlier this year so it's weird that I'll never hear it live...
@WanderingBullet - They updated and said it wasn't from Kingdom Hearts but Glass Sky from Tokyo Ghoul. I need to listen to that track soon. I really like what I've heard from the new Eminem album, it gave me chills as it reminded me a lot of the old Em.
I listened to a variety of genres in early 2000s from blues, jazz, rock, r&b, hip-hop, metal, rock, video games/movies osts even pop songs at the time. But I transitioned to anime OP/ED then to visual kei/jmetal
I listen to Jmetal mostly but for nostalgias sake, I listen to the music I used to listen to
Since Life is Strange 2 is coming out this week I'd thought I'd share my "alternative soundtrack" Spotify playlist for the first game and Before the Storm that I made. Let us know what you think. https://open.spotify.com/user/11140698173/playlist/0aeT7md9CG...
I almost feel out of place with my tendency to just listen to pop music. I've never been able to really get into another genre. Just give me some female singers singing high notes with beautiful vocals in ballad or catchy pop song form and I'm all good. Not at all into the "chill pop" popular nowadays, though.
Well, I have three genres which hold the biggest part in my collection and these are Rock/Metal, Soundtracks and Epic Music. Beside them I listen to soul, electronic, pop, blues and a little bit hip hop.
I can recommend the Label "Extreme Music", they offer every genre and it's not mainstream music in my eyes. This is my main source for pop, soul, blues and hip hop, Epic Indie is my favourite album series from them. In case of electronic music my main supplier is the Label "Monstercat".
Most Wanted:
-The Last of Us: Part II
-New Deus Ex Game
Hey all 👋 .....some self indulgence from me for this topic. My band, El Monstro, played a gig last night in my home town, and my son filmed a snippet of it on his phone. It was a great night and the response was great, but the best was my son’s reaction. It was the first time he’s seen us live and he was completely blown away, so his enthusiasm was very heartwarming and special to me.
I’m the bassist, and myself and the rhythm guitarist (next to me) are the main creators of our music. Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy it, and absolutely no worries if you don’t. Thanks 🙏
@Kidfried Thank you ☺️. Erm...good question, I think about 6 years ago, but we’ve only done 4 gigs, 3 of which have been at this pub, the Café René. The youngest member is the drummer, who IIRC is around the 40 mark. The oldest is the singer, who is early 50’s. The lead guitarist is 48, and myself and the rhythm guitarist are both 49. We’re all either married or in a relationship, and 2 of the guys of got little children in their families. And of course, those individual relationships naturally come first before our collective relationship as a band, so getting together for rehearsals can sometimes be sporadic.
