@SinceThe70s you know what it is for me, why I never post any hard rock? Lack of Exposure . I know next to nothing about the genre. It was never my cuppa tea. But as I have broadened my musical horizons I am learning more. I went to youtube and there was a playlist called "Hard and Heavy" Really eclectic mix of bands. I found this and it is absolutely badass..I LOVE the visual too

 

 

 

In the early 80's I was all in on the metal scene. To this day, my trophy show was seeing Metallica play Kill 'Em All front to back in a local bar a week before it came out. They were the opening band and It was jaw dropping. Still love that album. I don't listen to much metal these days but every so often I have to scratch that itch.

@frostbitmic the Neil post what a great cover. It brought to my mind one of my favorite covers of all time. This version gives me chills. Visually AND musically

Feliz Navidad!=m

 

 

I've only heard this version of the song once or twice, very cool. The woman dressed up as Delores was in the original video was awesome especially as she touched hands thru the glass with this singer... Merry Christmas to you and yours

One of the best britpop bands of the 90' - Elastica. There is no weak spot on their 1995 eponymous first album. The second, "The Menace" (2000) did not live up to the high standard set by the first.

 

 

Live, but no video - sorry!

 

 

At that time, frontwoman Justine Frischmann had a relationship with Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz). You can see him here having fun on the keyboards.

Never enough love for early 80's metal on this thread for my taste.

 

 

 

I probably went on a jag about this before but the two real principals on that album were vocalist David Wayne and bassist Kurt Vanderhoof. Wayne split/was sacked after the seminal "The Dark" album (or was it the live one), forming bands Reverend and Wayne, before dying from a car crash in 2005. Vanderhoof continued with Metal Church, finding his own version of Arnel Pineda or Ripper Owens but also took on a side-project in Presto Ballet, "playing in the style of American prog rock like Styx and Kansas."

 

Speaking of dead singers, let's throw out another contemporary of theirs here, called Trouble. Migrating a somewhat different path from doom to stoned out psychedelic-metal (who covers the Monkees?), they intersect that metal space in the late 80's. With singer Eric Wagner passing last year, here's one for a couple of real belters, the aptly titled...

Being Christmastime and owing to above subject matter, this year also took Gary Brooker:

Way back as a student in Germany in the 1970s (way back before you could check out music on the internet), I would go through the bargain sections of record stores in Hannover to look for something that piqued my interest. Usually, the bargain bins were stuffed with albums by artists you had never heard of (in Germany). On one of these shopping sprees, I saw (and bought) an album by the "Flying Burrito Brothers", mainly because the band name piqued my curiosity. This incident introduced me to...

Thanks for sharing  bad-@ass!  Trouble had some great albums but I never saw them

Was just listening to 70s on 7 on SiriusXM and these two classics came on...haven't heard either in quite some time.

The highlight of this clip is Barbara Thompson. Her sax solo starts at about 5:30. Sadly, she died earlier this year of Parkinson's disease. She had been married to drummer Jon Hiseman.
