311 - All Mixed Up

 

 

From a 1995 album, but the single was released in 1996 because of course it was.

Wow, I have completely lost track of this thread.  Apologies.

 

So I've been trying to avoid the more obvious bands.  However, I think this performance is unique enough that I don't mind.

 

Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"  Top of the pops performance.  They were offended by the format of the show.  Live vocals over prerecorded tracks where the band pretends to play.  They...subverted things.

Blues Traveler - Hook.  Everyone's favorite song about how your favorite song sucks.

It's a song about super-depressing incest, ya'll.

Everybody shut up.  This jukebox is devoted to Heavy Metal from now on. NSFW.  Like, at all.

Beethoven's not metal, you say?  Why would you say that?  Come on, guys.

 

[SteveT]

Pirate Metal.

 

[SteveT]

Iron Maiden?  Yes.

I recently learned of a band called Transatlantic.  They are prog rock with mild metal leanings.  I was impressed.

The Lonely Island - Spring Break Anthem

 

I really like this music video.  It gloriously contrasts will socially accepted hedonism with mature relationships that certain people have been trying their hardest to prevent other people from having.

The Gentle Storm - Shores of India

 

A rather interesting prog metal song with a mild Indian twist, as one might expect from the title.

 

[SteveT]

Since it's almost Christmas.  "Carol of the Bells" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  It was tough to pick one song by them, because they are glorious in general.
