Just sharing a bit of music

[the_trucking_pawpaw]

So, for those of you who have viewed my profile you know I'm big into heavy metal. Fortunately, my father instilled a love for music of all kinds when we were kids. For the last few days I've been feeling nostalgic for music from before my brained was twisted by metal hahaha. Been listening to Classic Rewind on SXM almost 24/7 for 3 days! I forgot how many great rock songs came out of that era! There are love songs, heartbreak songs, fun songs and just generally groovy songs. So, I started making a Spotify Playlist of songs that I've heard. What I have on the list so far:

Gimme All Your Lovin' - ZZ Top

When You Close Your Eyes - Night Ranger

Love Bites - Def Leppard

American Girl - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 

The Stroke -Billy Squire

Against The Wind -Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

Caught Up In You - .38 Special

I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide - ZZ Top

Hold The Line -TOTO

Keep On Lovin' You - REO Speedwagon

Centerfold - The J. Geils Band

Lovin' Every Minute Of It - Loverboy

Dreams - Van Halen

Let's Go - The Cars

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I won't Do that) - Meatloaf

In The Dark - Billy Squire

More Than A Feeling - Boston

Let Me Take You Home Tonight - Boston

Come Dancing - The Kinks

Night Moves - Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

Dirty White Boy - Foreigner 

Let My Love Open The Door - Pete Townsend

If you want to add to this, by all means. The mor I can the better haha

As a millennial metalhead, can confirm that Classic Rewind plays nothing but bangers.

Gen x metaljead and while I did grow up listening to a lot of the stuff on Classic rewind, in high school it was all Ozzys Boneyard type stuff...and a lot of Maiden, Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, Halloween, etc. Then, I kind gotta into stuff like Dead Kennedys later. Overall though I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music. I like a lot of different stuff!

I've been on a kick of SXM Classic Rewind lately. Lots of that stuff on there.

Not me over here trying to figure out if you're a Dragula kinda metalhead or not, lmao. Excuse me kindly if you're not, but if you are, this cover's music video is absolutely hilarious:

Spoiler

 

I listen to a wide variety of modern metal and classics as far back as The Beatles, as well as non metal/hard/rock stuff, including the occasional classical piece. Because let's be so fr rn, Beethoven is just metal before electricity! And metalhead or not, I KTBSPA regularly, lol.

Oh I listen to metal from 80's to current. Grew up on country and top 40 because everything else was so inaccessible to us for a long time. I discovered metal and was instantly corrupted lol. I do listen to a lot of other stuff including limited rap, classical, bagpipes, American folk and bluegrass. Not a lot I don't like. My parents raised us on Beattles, The Who, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, etc.

We don't completely match musically, but we're definitely adjacent! There's definitely a time, place, mindset for bluegrass, folk, or bagpipes, but it's not something I'd seek out normally. No hate to them, of course.

I'm also big on bubblegum/europop. Enjoy oldies (50s-60s rock and roll) every now and then, piano pieces, ambience, synthwave. I mean, there's too many genres to list!

I mostly claim the metalhead title, simply because I listen it more regularly than other stuff.

Pretty much the same, although if you saw me you might say I'm all country haha! I do love classic country (anything pre 2000) almost as much h as metal. But I also grew up on it.

[the_trucking_pawpaw]

BTW I do love me some Rob Zombie/White Zombie. That video, so dumb it is funny🤣🤣🤣

I absolutely LOVE Little V's silliness. The pink mic and toy car paired with such a serious 80s leather goth outfit, is the exact definition of GOAT. lmao But I do actually like his covers as well.
