That River Plate AC/DC concert looks like it was quite a party (I am tempted towards the album), and Rammstein (new to me) certainly create a massive impact, but Five Finger Death Punch (also new to me) sound the most interesting among the other headbanger fodder, so far ...but who holds the other aces?  This might amuse https://www.loudersound.com/features/heavy-metal-world-cup-rammstein-vs-underside...also quite taken with Silverchair (again new to me).

Is a particular type of music or any other soundscape (stories read aloud, plays on the radio, birdsong...) important to you, and if so what is it? For me it is music, usually somewhere in the blues, country rock and/or folk spectrum, but not classical (despite the best efforts of my parents) or jazz. The steady favourites among many others and in no particular order are the likes of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Tom Petty (RIP), John Fogerty, Cowboy Junkies, Dave Matthews, Eric Church, Eric Bibb, Amos Lee, Alison Krauss, Emily Barker, Gretchen Peters, Margo Price and Tift Merritt all forming part of about 70gb of music on my old iPod on random/shuffle (so that I can never be sure what will come next). Not sure what they all have in common, but it may be great guitar work and strong vocals, harking back to early Cliff Richard backed by the Shadows! I was always too lazy to make much progress on playing any musical instrument myself, but I got as far as acting as a DJ at private parties for a few years a lifetime ago... My favourite feel good track is probably this from Eric Bibb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds1faZB4QScDuring lockdown a number of artists performed items from home and I particularly liked this from John Fogerty backed by his children https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOisjEv9zYwRecently I was steered towards Allison Russell who released her first solo album last month: that did not really do it for me, but her back catalogue as part of Birds of Chicago does impress me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA1L_GvwiG4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvEERoYYz50One of their recordings led me to Mark Heard (previously unknown to me) and this album https://www.amazon.com/Treasure-Broken-Land-Songs-Heard/dp/B06Y5W9R87 which I was given as a Fathers Day present today https://www.nodepression.com/album-reviews/treasure-of-the-broken-land-the-songs-of-mark-heard/ Lately I've been kinda obsessed with bedroom/dream pop............ speacially this band called "Alvvays"....... these days I plug in my headphones and open Spotify and let myself go into that world hehehe

Orden Ogan is my favourite of C_D's hand, but I am still not a heavy metal convert! Hi nami, I see that Alvvays are another cool Canadian band and sound a bit like the mellower end of Blondie (and none the worse for that), also that the word happens to be the title of a song by a heavy metal band called Vagina Witchcraft (whose name I did not expect to make it past the GB censor...  ), so something for each extreme of taste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzplW7NQ9qU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUW8sJDAPNI

RIP Meatloaf: although I was never much of a fan, it was hard not to warm to him as a larger than life character and there were several memorable songs as well as a Rocky Horror Show contribution! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vBrSWZnB9c

I initially liked Meatloaf's first album, but the [blip] and Bull pub at York U played the album over and over and over, all day every day, for a month and by the end of it we were all ready to kill the pub manager, ot at least decamp to the Absinthe Pub, where they had better music. I haven't been able to listen to it since. Hey, no fair Bleeping out the name of the pub! It's a fine Olde English pub name!

I still play his Bat Out of Hell album. The lyrics are mostly cynical but there's a passion there that I like. It also conjures up some fond memories.

My thoughts on Meatloaf too... like his music at first, but then it wore on you. But RIP, Meatloaf.
