OK, Black Sabbath, Black Stone Cherry, Pantera, Motorhead, Satch, Vai, Thunder, Dio etc, all my usual kinda stuff.
What I'd like to know is, do you have a song that you really really like that would surprise or does surprise people when you play it and they can see you're really into it? This is one of mine. I love it and I love the lyrics, the chorus is just brilliant. There is an article about the song HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YuaZcylk_o Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star and I said, Constantly in the darkness Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh Canada With your face sketched on it twice Oh you are in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter And so sweet oh I could drink a case of you darling and I would Still be on my feet Oh I would still be on my feet Oh I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid I remember that time that you told me, you said "Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'cause Part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh you are in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter And so sweet oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours, she knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds and she said "Go to him stay with him if you can But be prepared to bleed" Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine You're so bitter bitter and so sweet oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet hmm Songwriters: Joni Mitchell A Case of You lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC This post has been edited by Phil66: Jan 18 2017, 09:47 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

I did a cover of a vintage 80s pop song from BERLIN called "The Metro" which is a bit of a depature from my usual metal head stuff. Love how it turned out though

Coming from me, these two usually throw folks for a loop ...
It's all about the groove for me. These bands 'groove'. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I dig material from ABBA, Kate Bush, Madonna, I love most of what Ghost are doing..
A Swedish band with some truly great music is The Ark Surprising enough for you?  |

I have to admit I like ABBA too, I have their greatest hits on my player. It never ever sounds dated and the more I learn about music the more I appreciate the skill of Benny and Bjorn.
Always raises an eyebrow when people spot it. I've kinda hidden all of my "dubious" stuff at the end of my artist list by calling the artists things like ZZZAbba, ZZZAnastazia, ZZZShania Twain

I think most people know I like a lot of different music, but it surprises them when I like something extremely mainstream.
At the moment I feel like starting an Emo band but I'm 43 and it's not the early 2000s anymore. It was Boys like Girls - Great Escape that made me want to -------------------- My SoundCloud

I'm a huge ABBA fan myself
In fact, ABBA is at the core of Melodic Swedish Death Metal IMHO. Swedes like some ABBA in their Death Metal They have ancient Swedish ballads that have a very sad vibe to them which has informed Swedish Music for hundreds of years. ABBA was the "Happy" version of that tradition, but even they embraced "Swedish Melancholy" See the following article.http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015...tial-melancholy QUOTE (Phil66 @ Jan 24 2017, 03:34 PM) I have to admit I like ABBA too, I have their greatest hits on my player.

Another favourite of mine. This year when we go to the south of France I am going to visit Juan-les-Pins. Listen for it in the lyrics, "And on your summer vacation, do you go to Juan-les-Pins?"
