I love music.

That's almost an understatement really. I like (and have in my music folder) almost all types of music. That includes everything from classical to rap, from dubstep to death metal. I am always very open to hearing new styles, especially some that are not so mainstream. 

So what I'm going to do is post a few good selections here, and include under the link some info such as when I discovered it and where I was at in my life. What I would like you to do is enlighten me with something I've never heard before. 

Have fun!

Ice Cube and Dr. Dre

When I was 9, I found a mix tape (yes a tape) while walking down the road, and popped it into my walkman to see if it worked. To my delight it did indeed work, and was my introduction to gangsta rap. This was one of the songs on it.

Ace of Base - The Sign

Listening to gangsta rap didn't influence me like the media would have you believe. I was still a nerd to the core! And this song is here to prove it. It was one of my favorites at the time it was popular. (Yes I own the whole album.)

Ok, one more from my teenage years...

Eminem - Brain Damage

Eminem's first album came out when I was a junior in high school. I remember the all the commotion it caused in the white circles at my school. You had half the white boys in school dying there hair bleach blonde to try to look like him. What a bunch of fools they were.

SOAD - Spiders

This is still one of my favorite songs of all time, at least in the rock genre. I used to sit in my room after a typical shitty day and blast this album in my headphones until it seemed my ears would bleed. It would always pick me up when I was down.

Beethoven - Symphony No.5

Beethoven is my favorite classical composer by far. He really was way ahead of his time. Symphony No.5 most people have heard it in bits and pieces, but not nearly enough people have heard it in its entirety. I urge you to if you have never. 

I can see that I could go on like this forever so I'll cut it short with two more songs.

Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

Today I discover a lot of music when it plays on one of my Pandora stations, and this one is one of those songs. I fell in love with all of Muse's music after that and now own about half their albums. I hope to one day see them live in concert.

Eminem - Rap God

I heard this song on Shadey 45 satellite radio station for the first time and just knew that I had to buy his new album. I was not disappointed this time. (I was disappointed in his 2 before this one.) 

Well, I hope that you guys and gals have enjoyed entering the mind of a deranged person. I have enjoyed sharing and look forward to some that you share. :)
