I'm Sure I've Linked This Before ...

I'm with you on ABBA as a somewhat guilty pleasure!

A fabulous snippet of Dwarf singing from the forthcoming Hobbit movie:

Sometimes you let yourself forget just how great the classic bands of rock were/are:

[Sukerkin]

The always wonderful Lindsey Stirling:

[yt]TCL94-MsxYc[/yt]

Sounds like she is going places - good for her :tup:

 

[arnisador]

Queen--what great stuff they gave us!

 

[Sukerkin]

Now I think it might be a sign of my getting old but I cannot help but approve of a German metal band that looks like this:

Rather than this:


Mind you I was never a fan of Accept back in their hey day anyhow - Arven's tunes are much more my style in my late-middle years .

And another simply excellent Eastern European band (Russian I think):

[yt]zSqFfB24Sn8[/yt]

 

[Sukerkin]

And a further Spanish (Catalan) band of superior quality - where has the traditional 'Western' metal gone so wrong and the 'newer' entrants going so right? I'll bet some of our departed rock legends are turning in the graves at the orc-grunting drivel that purports to be modern Metal - at least they can see and hear that at least some still realise that even rock music still has to be musical.

Another fine example of blending trends with melody and not just rhythm in the driving seat:

[Sukerkin]

It might have some oddly 'pop' rhythms in it but this ... me like!

A bit more live work from Krypteria:

[Xue Sheng]

I'm think I’m sensing a pattern here.... is it the music you like..... or the lead singer

 

[Sukerkin]

The two are interlinked in some cases, Xue. Beauty and music go hand in hand sometimes; not always of course. It's a curse of the video ages rise I think. Oddly enough I was just about to link one of my most favoured songs from one of my most favoured 'forgotten' bands. They are called Oasis but pre-date the rather poor self-important Mancunian brothers band of the same name:

Bottle of Pernod, candle-light and incense and I am set with these fine musicians ... and not a 'good looks hook' to be found back in the days I discovered this wonderful LP in my fathers record collection . Must see if I can find this gem of an album on CD.

And in my defence, I love female singers in the rockier genres much more than I do the orc-grunting bollards that Metal has devolved into these days.

:hmm: Nice recovery..... go for the high road.....I'm not buying... but it was a good try

More from the always super Lindsey Stirling:

A wonderful interpretation of one of the songs of the Shire:

One of the albums that formed a soundtrack to my youth:

One of my favourite songs of hope:

It also usually moves me to a glimmer of tears as I recall those lost in the pursuit of mankinds greatest adventure.

I seem to be on a mission to make myself weep today . Both tears of pride that we as a species can achieve such amazing things and tears of sadness for those who died to pave the way and for all those that suffer around our world when we could prevent it with a little less greed and a little more humanity.

Well, if you're going to perform a classic to the people that wrote it, I guess you're going to use someone who has, arguably, the best voice in rock :thumbsup:

I can't say why precisely, but watching this brought genuine tears to my eyes. In part it was Mr. Plant getting emotional listening to it, in part because it always reminds me of my dear departed friend David and in part it was Mr. Bonham's son's reaction to playing this masterpiece that his father had a hand in creating.
