Your music

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

I have a very varied taste in music, and have been around it for a very long time, my older brother plays just about every musical instrument there is, and I have about as much musical tallent as Jedward lol.

I have a very large music collection with thousands of albums rangin from classical to industrial metal, from hip hop to jazz. I am always on the look out for new music, and wondered if there is something that your listening to that would be thought of as being out of the main stream. It is a possibility that I might have it already, or even have the compleat discography of that band. I might even have something that you have been looking for, for years but to no avail.

So lets discuss

[OneDay]

What a great idea. Those algorithms that do the "if you're listening to that you might like this" never seem to get it right for me, but chatting with like-minded eclectic musos often uncovers new gems.

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

so what is your flavour of the month atm oneday?

[OneDay]

Well.... I've been watching the series 'Metal Evolution' on Sky Arts and it has reminded me of some great bands, so I've been dusting off my metal collection.

But, also listening to things like Ray Wylie Hubbard, Dry the River, Jack White's new album. And I'm over the moon to be going to see Mumford & Sons on Thursday night

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

I must be more out of touch with things than I thought lol. I have just done a count and at present I have 42,845 tracks on my computer. Unfortuantly none of the ones you mentioned there (but will take noe and see what I can find lol)

As for the Metal section, I have just updated it with the complete discography of AC-DC and believe me that took some doing as I am a bit OCD when it comes to my music, all the ID3 tags must be in place before I add them to my Music directory lol

[OneDay]

OCD seems to be a common trait amongst vapers (or at least amongst members of this forum). It comes up often. So yeah, +1 for ID3 tags

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

all my music is alphabetical, and groupend in artist folders, I am also going through the lot and putting them in album date order too just to make things easier lik when the lead singer changes or if a particulae mucision drops out etc (so just a weeny bit OCD lol)

Is there anything you are particularly on the look out for? I might be able to point you in the right direction (If you know what I mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, lol)

Some top stuff from my playlist ;

David Garrett - The 5th Can't say what it is that makes me like this one a lot.
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - The River Flows Frozen (Acoustic) Even thou the lyrics are "dark" the melody is something I hold on.
Sentenced - Vengeance is Mine Pissed at someone?
Khaled - Aicha (yeah! I'm serious. Makes me smile everytime)
Static-X - The Only Not a song to be listened while driving
Killswitch Engage - The End Of Heartache Yet another song with killer sounds.
Zelda Medley- Lindsey Stirling Gamer with a big heart (also she's quite good)
Big & Rich - Save A Horse [Ride A Cowboy] Seriously? Yep
Trail of tears - Venom inside my veins Some of the darker stuff again.
Strapping Young Lad - Love Best breakup song ever (haven't had to play it since 2006 so quite happy actually )
Still Remains - The Worst Is Yet To Come Ok, so it is RoadrunnerRecords band, but people keep forgetting those band's older then 6months.
Tim Minchin: Ten Foot............................. Stand up comedy, piano and great voice..
Luca Dirisio - Calma E Sangue Freddo No clue on what he sings, but it does make me smile.

Even thou I'm an 80's child there are lots of artists/bands I love to listen from 70's-90's.. Whitesnake, Toto, Santana, Bon Jovi... Even Tupac Amaru Shakur. I don't give a rat's dongle on what the genre is, as long as it makes me feel something. Be it sadness, happiness or if a song gives me goosebumps it's something that get's to my playlist.

But in the end all this talk about music is just waste of air.. Every song is the same in the end

I've just discovered the Norweigan experimental metal band Shining, and they are my current flavour of the month. They started out as a jazz band, apparently. I really like this song (ignoring the cheesy video):

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

Love the video, they look like Jack Black, Chad out of Nuckelback and half of the Proclaimers lol #icon_thumbsup#

Have you listened to Apocoliptica? I saw them live as the warm up act when I went to Ramstein, I thought they were briliant
