Peter Gabriel's Us has gotten me through some rough patches. It's great to listen to at any time, but especially when you want to let the music in and have it go to work for you.

Some sweet, dreamy, and sometimes sad album recs:

Song to a Seagull, Joni Mitchell

Parallelograms, Linda Perhacs

There Are No Saints; Plastic Grave, Siobhan Wilson

Future Games, Fleetwood Mac (the title track, maybe not so much. Everything else, I recommend 😂)

Never For Ever; Aerial, Kate Bush

Hope some of these help! Take your time healing inside and out ❤️

Youthanasia by Megadeth

Damn I might be whack

Oh yeah I've heard him. It's pretty neat. I don't think I could do repeated listens but certainly worth checking out and maybe seeing live.

As for Apocalyptica, symphonic metal has actually been pretty well established since I think the late 90s! Fun genre though.

Not too shabby, I’m listening to em now

Big ups on Bleed the Future

Slipknot's Self Titled Debut for me

Knocked Loose - A Tear In the Fabric of Life

It's an EP, not an album, but it's the most incredibly pissed off piece of music I've ever heard in my life.

Darn I was hoping it was actually cosmic sounding. It's very pleasant but, for me, still pretty standard sounding. Still good though.

My aunt used to run a record store many many years ago in Lex Ky….it was always such a good experience to hear music I would’ve never heard before. Listening to so many different genres has given me a serious appreciation of a lot of great music and I’m lucky to have had that.

New Edition- NE Heartbreak album

Thanks for checking some of it out. I’ll give your stuff a spin tomorrow.

I too always enjoy checking out different variations/interpretations of songs and I try a few myself.

Here is The Last Knife Fighters version of Bob Marley's Redemption Song https://youtu.be/3jzGlXlHQVY

Here is my version of The Last Knife Fighters Buddy Get Your Knife. https://youtu.be/866RUDU9lrA

Huh...what is that like a low fi, chill, funk? It's like if the song Redbone were a whole band.

There’s a song by Alestorm that may help

As for albums, try the album “Nothing” by Meshuggah. The song I linked is quite lovely.

And after you’ve listened to that, watch this, for a good laugh.

Edit:

Solitude by Cloudkicker. Good for the soul.

Such a good album.

I’m gonna second The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Their second album, Miss Machine

I know the rest but will have to check out Satyr.

Ok that was pretty cool. Got a little bit of Greydon Square feel from that one. I like.

I love Dub, so this is a bit tricky, since that's the origins of the genre.

​

But I'll go with Massive Attack v Mad Professor- Weather Storm

Power Trip. Check them out if you don’t know them, awesome band.

Most anything by Public Enemy or RATM.

End of All Life or something like that.

Sometimes I like covers more. Here is a great playlist of some of my favs. Lot's of different genres.

Fav Covers

Huh, that was a different track for sure. Appreciate the share.
