'Get busy living or get busy dying' Stephen King
Just having a little look back over recent posts and I realised I have been somewhat laxed about including some cool tunes. This seems odd to me because music has been increasingly taking over my life.
It all started when a friend of mine started to try and 'educate' me.....apparently I wasn't listening to some great bands that I should have been! I have to admit I wasn't! What I was listening to wasn't bad, it was just quite limited.
He reminded me of the likes of the Stereophonics to my music library.
Introduced me to the Lostprophets (regular readers will be aware of the minor obsession that sparked) and Stone Sour.
By this point I had headed down a rabbit hole of devouring everything I could get my hands on from any of the bands that I liked even a little. Just as things were starting to dry up a little other friends started stepping in with suggestions of what I should try, so next came Placebo
And still more with Gas Light Anthem, Queens of the Stone Age....
Until my latest obsession popped up in the form of 30 Seconds to Mars:
At this point I started to think I had hit the bottom of my rabbit hole and could happily climb out enjoying all the music I had discovered along the way. Sound in theory, apparently though I jumped into a rabbit hole that dropped me straight into wonderland because at the bottom I discovered Last FM. Now I have eaten and drunk all the things I had to to go through the door into a whole new wonderful world packed with even more musical delights. So I will leave you with Simple Plan...my latest discovery and hopefully not my last ;-)
Oh what the hell I couldn't decide which one to include so you get both, well why not they are good songs!
I hope you enjoyed your trip down my musical rabbit hole; we had to have a trip to wonderland seeing as it was Lewis Carroll's Birthday this week!
What do you think, have I been educated well enough? Are there things in your musical rabbit hole that should be in mine? Let me know, I'd love to discover more!
I remember "I'd Do Anything"!!!!! It was my anthem for a few months a ways back! And thank you for all of the musical tidbits to try out! I've heard of most of those bands, but not all!

ReplyDeleteIf you have heard of them you are doing one better than me ;-) But I am learning!!
DeleteSeems you have some rather good musical influences tbh ;) Although...can I recommend Van Canto? (Try "Rebellion" - awesome song).
ReplyDeleteI wonder who these rather good musical influences are ;-) Off to check out Van doo dah, lol!!
DeleteI'm a creature of habit when it comes to music--it's been a long time since I've dropped down a rabbit hole. You made it sound pretty enticing. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to hit the bottom at some point though!!
