Current Music Favorites -- January 2020

Lots of rocked up and metal-ed up bluesy songs, for January.

The Pretty Reckless – Heaven Knows
This is one of those songs I got into -- again.  Rock anthem-like, and bluesy at the same time.

Fantastic Negrito – An Honest Man
I got this song after seeing the 1st season of the series "Hand of God" with Ron Pearlman. It's another song that I got into -- again.  I really want to get more of his music in the future

In This Moment – Oh Lord
The very first time I heard this song, after buying the album (Ritual), I was in love with it!  I just love bluesy music mixed with metal.

ZZ Top – Tush
A classic!  This song has energy and love the riffs.

Greta Van Fleet – Mountain of The Sun
I just love Greta Van Fleet!  You can tell they love Led Zeppelin.  That was the draw of this band for me.  It's like Led Zeppelin continued where they left off.

Black Veil Brides – Resurrect The Sun
I woke up to this song, one morning, via my phone alarm that connects to Pandora.  I remembered how much I loved the song!  I pretty much love that Wretched And Divine album.

In This Moment – Call Me
How can I not love a rocked up version of Blondie's Call Me?!

My Chemical Romance -- Mama
Even though Mama is not about going to whiskey bars, this song reminds me of Alabama by The Doors -- except it's in manic overdrive.

Ta-Ta-For-Now!

Current Music Favorites -- November 2019

I made this month's post more about albums and songs rather than just bands.  I love metal but I love other music, also.  Here's a sampling of what I've been really into this month.

First Row (left to right):  
We Stitch These Wounds, by Black Veil Brides -- particularly the song Mortician's Daughter which is a very pretty song.  Love the whole album!

The song Valkyrie, by Battle Tapes.  I first heard the song on the TV show Lucifer which I started watching a few months ago.  This song kind of reminds me of a Prince song.  A really catchy danceable song!

Second Row:
Songs of Faith And Devotion, by Depeche Mode.  I hadn't listened to this in its entirety in years.  It was amazing to hear this all the way through again! 

Third Row (left to right):
Nightmare, by Avenged Sevenfold.  I love the album; but, I've been enamored with Buried Alive which starts slower and revs up to that kick-ass second part!

Black Widow, by In This Moment.  I love the song Big Bad Wolf, (reminds me of poor Fenrir) which was the first song I got by the band.  I've gotten two more and am working my way up to an album.

Fourth Row:
American Satan by The Relentless.  This is actually from the movie, American Satan.  Andy Biersack plays the singer of The Relentless; but, Remington Leith of Palaye Royale sings the songs.  Remington Leith singing metal is simply divine!

Fifth Row (left to right):
The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.  I was talking to a friend about how their songs reminded me of hypomania. After talking about that I needed to listen to this album album again.  Then, of course, I start hearing that they're doing a reunion tour!  Wow!

Boom Boom Room (A Side), by Palaye Royale.  Palaye Royale has a kind of 60's sound that I really like.  Remington Leith's voice is simply amazing!
