I feel the need to have a music glee. I'm afraid that most people will not be interested, but I'm going to glee anyway because gleeing about random music is something I enjoy. :D
I have discovered a new band (all right, I admit, I discovered them because of Supernatural, shut the heck up) called Triumph who are just getting awesomer the more of them I hear.
The original song that I heard I liked because it sounded like a mixture of Rush and Kansas, and I actually even thought it was Rush for a minute before I remembered that I have their entire discography and so would have heard it before if it had been them.
Now I have been listening to their "Classics" album on repeat for the last few days and it is like someone took all my favourite bands and stuck them all in a blender and made a milkshake out of them and served it up as Triumph.
There are tones of Kansas and Rush, The Outlaws, The Eagles, Boston, Journey and even Van Halen and The Who make it in there. There was even one point when I went "whoa, that sounded exactly like AC/DC". It's incredible.
They sound similar to all these bands and yet they manage not to sound at all like they ripped these other bands off, mainly because if they were just ripping them off they wouldn't sound so amazingly different with every song
Here's what YouTube had to offer:
Rik Emmett singing "Hold On" live
The guy has an amazing voice. Bloody hell. (Note to self: check out his solo stuff)
If you like prog, any of the bands mentioned above, or cheesy rock, give them a listen and stick with it even if you don't think you like it- it's prog! It changes three times through the course of the song.
Guaranteed 100% dragon/magic/stonehenge/druid/mat of insignificance free.
(I just watched that about six times. Dude.)
Coming soon: proverb translations.
