Music Recommendations

Lately I've been listening to this multi-instrumentalist (mainly guitarist) singer-songwriter from Ireland, Rory Gallagher. He was in a band called Taste, but had more of a successful career as a "solo artist". He's a very technical guitar player known for tapping, slide guitar, "pulling" the strings, & fretting the strings on the headstock. His guitar has a recognizable tone in his recorded songs. He's also a great singer-songwriter, his lyrics are moving. He died from diseased liver in 1995 probably due to alcohal, but his songs still live on. He influenced Slash & Jimi Hendrix.

Some songs of his:

A Million Miles Away
Bad Penny
Philby
I Fall Apart
Bought And Sold
Tattoo'd Lady
Lonesome Highway
For The Last Time
 
The two I've been getting into are Childish Gambino and Gorillaz. Both are incredible, and have had some amazing releases recently. I'll be seeing Gorillaz live in October, super pumped for that.

Also, ABBA. Love em to bits. <3
 
I just found out that Redemption have a new album out :)
Whilst I want the old singer back, to be honest, I did enjoy this track...
 
Few years old but I've been jamming to this a lot lately. John Grant is like if Father John Misty was more fun and loveable.

 
Not quite a new song recommendation, and I'm sure many of you have seen this by now, but holy ****. This is actually astoundingly good.

 
For those who like cheesy power metal with added Christmas - this is amazing :D


(The rest of the album follows the full story, possibly the best adaptation not to feature a frog)

I do enjoy a bit of cheesy power metal... and Majestica for that matter

Haha I was listening to this last night! Reminds me of Twilight Force. Who are also great.

Cheesy power metal is the best thing in the world. My favourites are: Gloryhammer, Symphony X, Luca Turillis Rhapsody and his solo stuff, Avantasia, Blind Guardian, early Hammerfall, Dragonforce with the newer vocalist, Symphonity, Power Wolf...I'll stop there ?

Orden Ogan are another fantastic Power Metal band worth checking out! The two singles they've released this year have been phenomenal!

Ooh, will do! Thanks for the recommendation :)

Back on the subject of Christmas Metal, Raised By Owls just released a death metal cover of Feed The World featuring loads of guest vocalists like the dude from Party Canon and Embodiment. It's hilarious!

About 10 seconds too late for me. Literally just shared this on Facebook ?

So great to see so many bands I listen too and a couple of friends in there too though! Amazing stuff! Raised by Owls always put out "top quality content" ?

Ever wondered what Iron Maiden would sound like if they were from Botswana?


Now you know :)

I've also recently got into Marillion, probably about 10 years after I should have done!
