I didn't last ten seconds!

I doubt this is music to your ears, but I do enjoy this kind of stuff:

There is a part of me that just likes to be shaken and thrashed about by the music I listen to. I'm not an aggressive person. Indeed, if you met me you might think I'd be more of a fan of the type of music you have posted here. But I have a theory about that. You know how in the illicit drugs trade some people prefer stimulants and some people prefer tranquilizing drugs? Some people need something that will pick them up and some people need something that will chill them out. I think the same thing happens with peoples' tastes in music. I need something that will give me a jolt and you need something that will chill you out.

I'm happy that there is a great variety of music out there. And I do listen to more genres of music than viking metal, but the easiest going I get is alt rock.

Here's an oddly grand pairing I just can't get enough of--I love this rendition:




This was 'molti anni fa' (many years ago) but it is still fresh to me! Two lions in winter!

As long as I don't have to sing it. I prefer istening to professionals do that.

I tried singing and now even my shower hates me.

At least that's what they affectionately call it, whoever "they" are. Death Growl is the preferred term, right?

I knew a guy who could do it. He demonstrated, but I didn't get it. Totally over my head.

Interesting tune. Enjoy your singalongs!
