About Stricken, I would say I liked it, even if it’s not something I listen to often. So I decided to listen to one song more from them and I chose The Sound of Silence, I didn’t know this was where “hello darkness my friend” came? haha funny. This was different than the first one. Still maybe it’s not a 100% for me I don’t know why. It sounds like from a movie. On the other hand, I have already listened to a few Metallica songs before but I only like some, for example Nothing Else Matters, I absolutely love this one. Blackened is fine but there’s something I don’t like, I think it’s the drums when they go fast in some point, I’ve never liked that, and I’m not a fan of the guitar sound in this song.

Yeah Sam is extremely country. It's off his latest album which is more of a concept album. His albums Metamodern Sounds and A Sailor's Guide To Earth are his best works in my opinion. Also Sound & Fury if you like rock.

You can never judge an artist off their top Spotify song. It's usually just some mediocre stuff that went trending on TikTok or was on the radio. Which everyone knows TikTok and radio sucks lol

Reply to Why don't classical musicians memorize their music? by samh748

Players in jazz swing and big bands often use sheet music as well. The more complex the music and the more people playing simultaneously tend to make having sheet music more reliable than memory. Most studio work is off something in writing, whether its lead sheets or full transcriptions. Saves rehearsal time and wasted energy to have written music.

Reply to Have alt people always hated radio-music? by [deleted]

There was a small window in the early 90s when most cities had one station that played current grunge and alternative, and one station played current rap with some deeper cuts at night and a DJ live mix during the lunch hour and on Saturday nights. And usually one station that had live techno mixes on weekend late nights. That 3-4 year span is the only time radio seemed exciting.

Reply to Why has the Deep Purple legacy not aged as well as other 70's rock giants? by gabapenteado

From 69-73 they put out some very good albums. They were kind of the leaders of hard rock. IMO the others you mention are not Hard Rock stars, they're rock stars with a wide range of sound. I guess those who followed hard rock, Deep Purple was kind of the original band. I never became a hard rock fan. To me Tull, Zepplin, The Who, The Stones continued to break new ground and grow. While I love Machine Head, I don't think it compares with Zep II, Thick as a Brick, or Who's Next which came out around the same time. Machine Head is the only CD I have of theirs and it is on a very limited play schedule because I only like about 1/2 of it. I need to get Live in Japan at some point, but that would also be in pretty limited play schedule. If I want to listen to heavy rock I listen to Tull, Who, or Zep usually. Those who would turn to AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, etc would probably prefer Deep Purple as that is what their sound sort of became. Hard driving guitar jams.
