Gotta be The Muffin Man. Do you know the Muffin Man The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man Do you know the Muffin Man Who lives on down the lane To me, this thing is like Priest, Maiden, Metallica and Anthrax all rolled into one and all of them on extremely powerful steroids at Madison Square Garden at the same time. Okay, seriously, Jen. I can't believe this thing is 24 years old now, but there is this outrageously groovy tune called Aberdeen by a swinging cat named Kenny Wayne Shepherd that I just can't get enough of. It's my favorite one from an album called Ledbetter Heights. Maybe I have fallen way out of touch with what's going on in the music world, but when this first came out I just figured I would be hearing about this guy a whole lot more than I have been. I don't know what the deal is with that but this kid has really got it going on. You guys check this young man out here... https://tinyurl.com/y48onhuf Reply #1. Aug 16 19, 11:25 AM |

Hey, “Aberdeen” was catchy! My favorite was when they really took off (around 1:17 or so)! Reply #2. Aug 16 19, 12:03 PM |

Right now, I have quite a few! Blood//Water by Grandson A coworker introduced me to this band, which I'd never heard of before. The guitar in this gets me pumped and it's quite a song! Wild Roses by Of Monsters and Men I love their new album so much! As of now, this is one I can't stop listening to! Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, one of the lead singers, displays so much range here. Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea by Missio Missio released a song a while ago I wasn't crazy about. So it shocked me when I realized how much I loved this one... it's so moody and beautiful. Amends by Garbage I recently got very deep into Garbage. I’m loving everything I am hearing. I’ve reached one of their latest albums, “Strange Little Birds” and this one… wow. The first time I heard that, I knew it was special. Especially the end, where Shirley Manson really lets it all out! I feel like crying at that ending. Reply #3. Aug 16 19, 12:16 PM |

I was watching the most recent episode of The Handmaid's Tale (here in the UK we're on S3, ep.11) and they played the entire song 'Cloudbusting' by Kate Bush. I'm now rediscovering my utter obsession with her work and grateful that I have lots of her albums. Reply #4. Aug 19 19, 11:11 AM |

My current obsession is with the music from the TV series Nashville. I was never into country music but just some really good songs from this series. I have all the albums from the series. Reply #5. Aug 20 19, 12:27 AM |

The TV show Nashville released albums of songs specifically from their show? That's amazing! I wish some shows I enjoyed over the years would do that, shows like Scrubs! Reply #6. Aug 21 19, 10:19 AM |

Yeah, or maybe shows like Heavy Metal Beatdown. :-) There's really not a show called that, at least not that I know of. It would be cool if there was, though. :-) Reply #7. Aug 21 19, 10:27 AM |

Disco Duck! That totally out of control tune reminds me a lot of this silly little song... https://tinyurl.com/y2coyk46 Reply #9. Aug 22 19, 12:21 AM |

Such a soft, soothing melody with lots of funny, playful little animals. Fun for all ages indeed. You know, the singer in that last song is one of my favorite singers in all the disco-crazed land. He really knows how to disco down. In fact, he is known as Lord Disco in the disco world. I'm so glad that disco never died off and is going stronger that ever before. Here's Lord Disco performing with another disco group straight out of Funky Town. They really know a thing or two about cranking out those monotone disco beats. :-) https://tinyurl.com/y6cnv3n3 Reply #10. Aug 22 19, 9:30 AM |

Sadwings, I totally heard that funky disco beat in “Warzone.” I can see people shakin’ their groove thing (yeah yeah) to it! Reply #11. Aug 22 19, 11:16 AM |

Yeah, those cats were really tearing up the dance floor on that thing with their explosive disco. I can't imagine what my life would be like without disco, Jen. Here's the same guys performing a smash disco hit at the Disco Alley from the same monster disco party album that Warzone is from. This thing was way up there at the top of the disco charts for a long, long time, and it's pretty easy to see why. Every song on it is just the finest quality disco known to mankind, but an even bigger factor as to why this is such timeless, classic disco is because they are all wearing identical suits and dancing around in unison. To me, that is what music is really all about. Simple monotone beats that are very easy to dance to. These guys really know how to bust a move to their swinging disco grooves! :-) https://tinyurl.com/yyqaevtm Reply #12. Aug 22 19, 12:34 PM |

By the way, I'm pretty certain they've got the lyrics wrong next to the video on that last monster bad disco number, but what else is new, right? ;-) There is one line that will probably just about make you bust out laughing. I'm pretty sure you'll know it when you see it, Jen, and all the rest of you out of control disco hounds out there. The funny thing is, I can pretty well understand all the words except for that one line. I guess the clown who wrote what you see next to the video had the same problem, but I'm quite certain that whatever Lord Disco is really singing is not what they have written! He's so hard to understand on that one line that you would almost think it was a loud, noisy rock and roll song or something. :-p Reply #13. Aug 22 19, 12:53 PM |

Re Nashville Yes all the songs each season were released on albums with sometimes 3 volumes. Reply #14. Aug 22 19, 2:06 PM |

That just reminded me of a mighty fine country song I thought I would share. I suppose the guy singing it will always be much better known as an actor than a country singer, but I have loved this guy ever since I was a kid, I love this song and I love the movie it's from. Fact is, I'm Southern by the grace of God over here, I've done some pretty crazy, wild-eyed Southern boy things in my life, and that's all a very big part of why this song and this movie are so very special to me. East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' We gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there I'm east bound just watch ol' Bandit run... https://tinyurl.com/y57ykwlf Reply #15.

I’m so so sorry, I claim ignorance on this one with Reign of Fire… my eyes ain’t great, and I am definitely missing the wrong lyric on the side there. One thing I did understand was how that song was marked the beginning of disco. That’s disco at its roots right there! I keep forgetting you’re Southern! That song definitely had that Southern feel, and I’m glad you find it so special! Sadwings, you might like my current obsession. I’ve heard it over the years while playing a game where you can listen to the radio (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) and find it so nice and catchy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtuoFv4dcwM Reply #16.

Haven't seen that one in a while. You know, that song remains what would probably have to be the biggest hit the Priest Beast ever had, but I have always thought that should have been a song called Desert Plains from Point of Entry. Both are great songs and that's just my personal opinion. Other than Rocka Rolla, Priest's debut, Entry was probably more different than any album they ever made. They had chosen a different path to follow when they made it, you know, just to more or less experiment with things, and I admire them a lot for having the guts to do it. Anyway, here they are performing it live at a concert that I would have been able to attend if my friend had not forgotten to get the tickets like he said he was going to. Had no idea at the time that the whole thing was going to be filmed and released as a video and album both. Strangely enough, this song is on the video but not on the album. Wanna know why we have holes in the ozone layer? Rockin' Rob is the culprit. He jabs a couple of pretty good size holes in it on this song.... https://tinyurl.com/y3yg2nrt Reply #17.

Jen, I really thought there would have been far more postings on this thread by now. This one is #18 after 8 days and 14 of them are from me and you, 9 of those from me alone. I didn't want to just immediately invade this thing with a relentlessly unholy Priest-a-thon and send people screaming and running in all different directions. I really thought when you first started this thing that it was really going to take off and be very popular with lots and lots of daily input. Anyway, you know who my main obsession is musically, just like a bunch of other people around here by now, and here it is, the day before Rockin' Rob's birthday. I just feel like the powerful explosion of an earth-shattering Priest-a-thon is imminent and I'm terrified out of my stark raving mind with no place to run. :-( In the meantime, I guess I really have no choice but to just go with the flow. With that being said, I'd like to point something out about myself. I've never been the type of person who thinks they are better or more special than anyone else. Those who know me in person know how true that is. We all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun, just as the great John Lennon says. However, the fact is, I have seen movies based on true events that were less interesting and less exciting than a lot of the experiences I have had throughout my own personal life, and I'm sure there are a lot of other people in the world who can honestly say the same thing. If they were to ever make a movie about my life some day, yeah, there would be a bunch of Priest tunes in it from beginning to end. Couldn't really say one way or the other what tunes would be in the middle, but the one that would start things off would be Delivering the Goods, the holiest metal anthem ever made for all eternity. The tune I'm about to play would be the one that ended it. The words to this thing just seem to fit what my very spirit is all about, more so than any other song these guys ever did. My friends, the almighty Priest Beast just came riding into town. https://tinyurl.com/y4zcr75s Reply #18. Aug 24 19, 5:00 AM |

Here's some way old school Priest. This is the very song where my Priestly fascination began in '77. I had heard a couple of songs from Sad Wings of Destiny, their 2nd album, and I skipped over to the record store to buy a copy of it. They didn't have it on hand but they did have the band's 3rd album, Sin After Sin, which had just recently been released. Had no idea what I was in store for or what kind of decades-long journey I was about to embark on. Feel free to try and find any rock song that had ever been released up to '77 that was played anywhere near the same tempo as this song is played. You'll need to pack much more than a big lunch, you'll need to pack your sleeping bag and enough supplies to last you the rest of your life because it ain't gonna happen, my friends. In the meantime, let's all join hands, shall we? Let's all be thankful that metal came from foundries where the Midlands sound unfurled, as Rob rockingly tells us in a song from his solo debut, Resurrection. Let us all bow our heads now and.... Let Us Prey https://tinyurl.com/yxvyvvbs Reply #19. Aug 24 19, 3:12 PM |

It wasn't until 1980 when the Priest Beast really exploded onto the international scene with their sixth studio album, British Steel. This is the one with Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight. Both are great songs but now it's time to take off the kid gloves, boys and girls. Here's my favorite from that particular album, and hey, what do you know - the very first line nicely describes what they do best.... Pounding the world Like a battering RAM! :-) https://tinyurl.com/yxh2getn Reply #20. Aug 24 19, 7:12 PM |
