I wanted to vote for Danse Macabre but forgot to include it. If we have an opportunity to include it, I will vote for it and seed it high.
nice! Megadeth played the hits, plus a track from the new album. The "Peace Sells But Who's Buying" album is an all time favourite of mine. All of their output from 86-97 or so is worth checking out if you like thrash.
the whole thing was great for my inner 8-year-old
Anthrax was the first band out there that felt "too cool" for me. They were too metal for regular MTV and radio, unlike Metallica. And then they recorded a Joe Jackson cover, which made them more accessible. Belladonna is still a phenomenal vocalist - what a treat.
I never know where to post anymore, or what, but I'm really grateful that the final Megadeth tour with Anthrax and Exodus came through Victoria, BC. Every metalhead on the island was there and it was great to see the community out. Lots of great photos on social media too. We don't get enough shows
you can start with "the way that he sings" and "bermuda highway," and listen to more from there.
I voted for American Analog Set, but I'm not sure if my vote went through - I added a last minute edit and I'm not sure if I hit submit. Oh well. I didn't vote for Califone but I liked that album back in the day and saw them live. I should have voted for it.
Drive By Truckers!
Another guess for Depeche Mode here
For another cool video - this trivia tournament also led me down another rabbit hole - apparently, Andy Warhol directed this music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8j2...
Captain Sensible's version hit #1 on the UK charts. This was ultimately sampled by Dizzee Rascal on "Dream" from "Boy in the Corner." I had previously thought the Dizzee Rascal sample came from a cast recording. Anyway, here's a video, it made me smile today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=291E...
I have made the final game of a Brit-centric and British-run Music Trivia Tournament. As I "Study," I'm getting sent down all sorts of rabbit holes. Such as discovering that Captain Sensible recorded a version of "Happy Talk" from South Pacific.
Despite winning the NL MVP in 1993, Barry Bonds had only the 2nd highest batting average in the NL that season among Junipero Serra High School alumni.
Makes sense - that Low album is neither chill nor boring - it's slow (and dark).
With the exception of the Low album, all of those are a total drag, though I like a few songs on that Starsailor album. 2001 was a great year for Metal.
2012 was a pretty good year for music on the radio, and this track is no exception - it took me 5 guesses to get it as well, like a plurality of players. My kids have made me VERY familiar with this discography over the years.
Speaking of THE GREAT DESTROYER, Robert Plant does a fantastic cover of "everybody's song" on his tiny desk, which is also on his new cover album, Saving Grace.
My kid bought one of these for a friend for their birthday.
Jeopardy! whizzes Ray and Ron Lalonde talk twin telepathy, identity swaps and growing up in a trivia-obsessed home
Waltz #2
the music at @aandwcanada.bsky.social this morning has been unexpectedly good: elliott smith, charli xcx, be good tanyas covering prince, sombr - i don't expect to hear anything other than 80s soft hits when out in the world
@bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social - thanks to the best album of 1989 tournament, Spotify indicates that my listening age is 56 - which I'm admittedly fine with. In 1989, I wanted to be older so I could go see Depeche Mode, Nirvana, GNR and other bands my parents didn't care for live.
@jonpennington.bsky.social In a random Wikipedia rabbit hole - I discovered this and thought it would be up your alley - Whitney Houston covering The Soft Machine (courtesy of Material/Bill Laswell/Michael Beinhorn) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV3K...
There's no escaping (Cameron) Winter this year. I'm admittedly not that keen on them, but I'm not unkeen on them and I'll take them over Goose.
The Paste list seems a bit more friendly for people of our vintage - i haven't heard much of it, but the themes of the albums seem more relevant to my issues and emotions: www.pastemagazine.com/music/best-a...
I'm much too old for this list - which is probably a good thing - the youths SHOULD have a list. I don't think Rolling Stone ever gave up on its boomer-centrism, and SPIN could never escape its GenX lens.
I have no idea what xx refers to. Possibly the band, the xx, but that doesn't count. So, 1 profanity, which is very much on brand for me
@profanity.accountant Have I ever cursed on here?
