Currently listening to the Breaking Benjamin - Ember album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kCbFmjEi6A

I was supposed to go see them in concert last summer but had to sell the tickets because I couldn't get the day off and couldn't call in because I was still on "newbie probation".

I can listen to a little Enya. Gets on my nerve after a while but for a few songs, I'm good. Mr. Green

It's the same with most New Age music. I've got to be in a certain frame of mind (mellow or introspective) for it.

Tonight it's V.A.S.T - Free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRXW1thQtPM

That was the song I had blaring in the car when I drove out the front gate at Davis-Monthan for the last time when I retired. headbang

I can visualize you speeding away from the gate in the G8 with the volume turned up. Woot

Luckily it was in the spring so it was actually cool enough to put all 4 windows down. Yellow Twisted

Nice! I love his soundtracks.

Getting some cleaning and cooking done with Phantogram - You Don't Get Me High Anymore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jryzEU7WAlg

They're actually from the local area but have had a few hits nationally.

Three Days Grace did a little heavier cover of that song while they were practicing with their new singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0gKxgdl7Bw

Meh, I like it better with a female lead singer, the guy doesn't have the same impact.

John Carpenter is a real master with music. He just sets the mood/tone perfectly with the soundtracks for his movies. The score for "The Thing" is a perfect example. Slow methodically bass note, you know something mysterious is afoot, then the somber and dramatic theme just brings chills. Awesome stuff.

I've always like Jan Hammer's soundtracks too, especially Crockett's Theme from Miami Vice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7EO6x8B8yI

They had it one the old "Pure Moods" CD I used to listen to back in the 90's whenever I needed to take a road trip to the beach and calm down from arguing with the ex.

Yep, I have an old CD of the music from Miami Vice. Definitely some good stuff from Jan Hammer on it.

Who I like also is Hans Zimmer. He has had some good ones, I especially like the music from Backdraft.

The movie was just so-so but the music was great.

That's one of my pet peeves about movies these days. Just about every movies has rap in it. I get that rap is popular with the current generation but every fucking movie doesn't need rap in its soundtrack. Yellow Rolleyes

I can tolerate some rap but not much. It's like a lot of other things these days, people trying their best to be "inclusive" and cater to minors and show how "woke" they are. Yellow Rolleyes

I do still have a soft spot for Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPO76Jlnz6c

Of course, I love Weird Al's parody of it as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg
