Straneg you should mention Sunn O))). Huge fan. Through Stephen O'Malley I learned about GRA, and EMS Stockholm, and of course Touch and Important Records were both formative in opening up my interest in experimental music. More than anything though, I like making room vibrating sounds.Modular Synthesis allows for that with a level of control that is pretty striking. But mostly, I enjoy the sounds that come from these types of set ups after you figure out what you want to do(it is pretty easy to use VCV rack(what I currently use, cause its free) with no agenda and come up with patches that either constantly self cancel, or sound.. rough)

Not bad, but not something I would listen to really. All I really know of that band is, Watsky sampled them on one of his tracks.
Song: STP Band: Sublime Album: Robbin The Hood Genre: Ska Punk Year Released: 1994
Very underrated Sublime song, doesn't get enough love

Song: STP Band: Sublime Album: Robbin The Hood Genre: Ska Punk Year Released: 1994 Very underrated Sublime song, doesn't get enough love There is a Kurt Cobain quote about punk being whatever you want it to be, regardless of what anyone else says if it's played with feeling. I think that is a pretty good way to describe Sublime, a band my father used to blast all the time(and not really my thing) Song: The Final Goodbye Band: From Ashes Rise Album: Nightmares Genre: Punk Year Released: 2003 Man, Ex-His Hero is Gone(another god tier export of the American Punk Scene). A lot of hot summer evening were spent blasting this. While a lot of this crusty punk didn't do it for me, From Ashes Rise, HHIG, Tragedy..

I've got to say the synths and the drums were the heroes for me in that song. They double-kick really pulled it together towards the end, there was also a nice riff towards the start, I want to say just before the first chorus.
Song: Avril 14th Band: Aphex Tiwn Album: Drukqs Genre: Electronica
Year Released: 2001 Notes: In terms of accessible Aphex Twin, it's not Windowlicker with the iconic video nor is it the grab you by the throat and ream out your insides that Come to Daddy is. Richard D James (Aphex Twin) is either going to make something listenable or just throw something out there because he has a platform and is bored, this is very much the former.

I'm not responding with a song, but Drukqs was the first electronic album I purchased. Wonderful stuff.

I quite enjoyed that. Had a classical feel to it. Calming and doesn't overstay its welcome. Unlike my next song ...
Song: In the Presence of Enemies Movements: I. Prelude II. Resurrection III. Heretic IV. The Slaughter of the Damned V. The Reckoning VI. Salvation Band: Dream Theater Album: Systematic Chaos Genre: Metal Year Released: 2007
So this one is a song they split into 2 parts, it is the opener AND closer of the album. It's the second longest song behind Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, which is over 40min ... This one has movements and a story to it. I love it. It's also nestled in album 7 which is smack in the middle of a giant meta album that spans albums 6-8. On this album also is parts of the Twelve Step Suite that the drummer Mike Portnoy used to chronicle his battle with alcoholism. This one is also one of their many songs tackling religion in an interesting way. It stays mostly on the heavier side minus the instrumental intros of both halves. I just love this song, almost as much as the one I'll post the next time I decide to post up my favorite song of all time.

Song: Falling Band: Barkmarket Album: L. Ron Genre: Noise Rock Year Released: 1996 Any other stuff you want us to know? This was going to be my original RL theme song years ago. Never understood why I didn't go with it. Also the vocalist of the band is Dave Sardy. Barkmarket only released 2 other albums before L. Ron. Before Sardy decided to go in producing, including working on albums like Fall Out Boy's Mania & did the film score for cult classic movies, like Zombieland.

Could see how this could be a potential entrance theme. Really could help play to a crowds emotions, and the wrestlers.

Not really my style but I can see how it could fit for a wrestler. The beat is definitely jamming. Live songs are tricky, some recordings are great (Daft Punk), some are just different but still great (Metallica), some are hit and miss (Dream Theater), and some are rough (recent Halestorm, you can HEAR the years of smoking damage in Lzzy). Song: A Disappearing Act Band: Coheed and Cambria Album: Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind Genre: Prog Rock/Alt Rock ... Rock? I dunno Coheed covers all genre. Electronic rock? iTunes says Punk which uh ... no no it is not. Year Released: 2022 Any other stuff you want us to know? This entire album is full of jams. No bad songs in the bunch, been on rotation with the new Shinedown album in my car since release. Saw it live, so much fun. I HIGHLY recommend the album for just a listen. It is so catchy.

I was always a bit wary of Coheed and Cambria due to having first heard of them by people talking about them having a whole series of linked concept albums, but that was straight up catchy. Good stuff.
Song: A Hymn Band: IDLES Album: Ultra Mono Genre: Post Punk, Rock Year Released: 2020
God, I fucking love IDLES. From first discovering them when Zack Sabre Jr used Mother as his entrance music in Progress, to hearing Television and being amazed at how succinctly it summed up the misery of low self-esteem, to using I'm Scum as my first XHF entrance music. They're a band that can switch from songs about pub brawls (Never Fight A Man With A Perm) and crackheads at a wedding reception (Gram Rock) to the pain of a miscarriage (June) or the angry desperation of depression (1049 Gotho) without missing a step. This is one of their darker efforts, the first song released from their third album. The way it can evoke the horror of the mundane and utter disaffection through lyrics that almost read as banal, spliced through with the despairing thoughts of someone struggling to simply exist makes me feel something I can't really put into words.
