Be it known that I don't have anything of any real significance to say, and I'm going to suggest songs that perhaps aren't A-sides.
That said, I've obviously spent a lot of my time listening to these artists, eating cheeseburgers, and trolling the internet–so I may be onto a thing or two.
————————————————————————-
Edguy are without a doubt, my favorite band. I border on fucking obnoxious trying to push these guys on my friends. My last three or four boyfriends probably hate the shit out of Edguy right about now.
Listen to:
Sex Fire Religion
Catch of the Century
Tears of the Mandrake
Save Us Now
Hymn
Bruce Dickinson is the only reason I would ever consider it cool to take a fencing class. Until I got in there with a bunch of D&D nerds who wanted to know if my system was configured for warfare games.
Listen to:
Strange Death in Paradise
The Alchemist
Sacred Cowboys (lol)
Born in '58
Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Nevermore are my only local heroes who aren't doing piss poor pop music(there I said it, wanna fight Cornell? I'm also still pissed that you ruined your fucking hair, Jesus man, you're a shit train that began derailing years ago) or making me want to molest their drummer(there I said it, wanna wrestle Kinney?).
Listen to:
The Heart Collector
The Lotus Eaters
Chances Three
Born
Dreaming Neon Black
Avantasia is another project of Tobias Sammet, and I obviously swing from the dudes' nuts so I don't know what to say. Sammetsheep doesn't really have the ring that Megasheep does, but yeah, I'm that. Oh and for the record, I thought The Scarecrow was fucking epic, and everyone trying to dish up a shit sandwich because he didn't satisfy their five billion beat per second preference for their skin searing jackoff sessions can fuck off. Of the many artists hawking their wares today, even those I like, Sammet has the most artistic integrity. Maybe that's why I still nutswing the guy even though he pretty much called me on my bullshit in Portland a few years ago.
Listen to:
Twisted Mind
Glory of Rome
In My Defense
Chalice of Agony
Farewell
The Darkness is usually followed with (lol), but I obviously listen to these guys a lot for them to be this high on the list. All I can say is that I wish I had written Bald, that song is genius. And I actually prefer the second album to the first.
Listen to:
Love on the Rocks (With No Ice)
Holding My Own
Knockers
Bald
Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
Megadeth is a band I've seen live more than any other band. I personally disagree with Dave Mustaine on about a billion points. I do prefer Megadeth heavily over Metallica. And I'd love to roll around naked in Marty Friedman's glorious hair.
Listen to:
Lucretia
Wanderlust
Tears in a Vial
She-Wolf
Captive Honor (lulz)
Aerosmith brings forth mixed emotions. I read in their autobio that Tyler has a thing for pissing on chicks, which is fucking hillarious and almost enough to pardon the shitty ticket prices, Just Push Play, and Joe Perry being a fucking republican douche. Ah well, we'll always have that time I got shoved up against a fence by a fat hippie chick and my caught outstretched arm skimmed Joe's hair. Then the bitch lit a joint and almost caught my hair on fire.
Listen to:
Mia
Darkness
Back Back Train
Deuces are Wild
Kings and Queens
Iron Maiden is only this low because prior to signing up with this account I listened to their entire catalog until I wanted to kill Blaze Bayley. Want to put me into a homicidal rage? Put "The Angel and the Gambler on Repeat," I'll be more pissed off than a fat guy five minutes after Dairy Queen closes.
Listen to:
Wasting Love (lol)
Ghost of the Navigator
Purgatory
Still Life
Alexander the Great
Lynch Mob is the most fucking poetic band evar. "Like a shot without a chaser/you bring me to my knees/I put my money where your mouth is/cause I know you aim to please." It brings a goddamn tear to my eye.
Listen to:
She's Evil but She's Mine
Jungle of Love
Dream Until Tomorrow
The Secret
Tangled in the Web
Death is a band that is pretty much the alpha and the omega. I don't really need to argue anything or cite any outside sources.
Listen to:
Individual Thought Patterns
Scavenger of Human Sorrow
Zero Tolerance
Pull the Plug
Spirit Crusher
The Doors piss my boyfriend off. Lots of people bawww about how overrated The Doors are. Just like I don't really give a shit if nobody listens to Slaughter, I don't give a shit if everyone listens to The Doors.
Listen to:
Yes the River Knows
Spanish Caravan
The Changeling
Touch Me
Hyacinth House
Def Leppard also pisses my boyfriend off. I can't say I follow the band nowadays, but I like to watch their groupies meltdown on the Sludge forums.
Listen to:
Make Love Like a Man (lol)
Make Love Like a Man (lol)
Make Love Like a Man (lol)
Make Love Like a Man (lol)
Make Love Like a Man (lol)
Rush gets most of their worship from pretentious old fucks who spend most of their time eating cheeseburgers and bitching that they can't play like Neal Peart. That said Rush is incredibly cool in my book: Lifeson did an episode of Trailer Park Boys, "Faithless" is pretty much my IRL theme song, they wrote a song based on a Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem, and I'm one of the few people that actually fucking LOVE Geddy Lee's voice.
Listen to:
Faithless
Xanadu
Trees
Tears
Roll the Bones (lol)
Queen is the first rock band I was introduced to. I've made some distasteful jokes in my time, but I always regret it and cry like a little bitch afterward. Freddie Mercury possessed a voice that could make me baww on command.
Listen to:
'39
My Melancholy Blues
Who Wants to Live Forever (makes me baww every time)
She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos)
The Prophets Song
DragonForce has become kind of a joke recently. I got to talk to these guys a few times, when my ex-boyfriend wasn't busy trying to suck their dicks–and the only one who ever impressed me with any coherent thought was Fred. I used to think Vadim was just a sweet, incredibly patient, dude, but the last time I saw them he was more interested in poon than having my ex swing from his nuts.
Listen to:
Body Breakdown
Revelations
Black Fire
Once in a Lifetime
Starfire
