rock music

I am by no means what you would call a Blue rodeo super fan. Fact I don't even like most of they're music. But this one get 10's each for song and the video Blue Rodeo - "Diamond Mine" [Official Video] - YouTube

I love the part when it pauses, and sounds over. Then here we go! Lyrics are deserving of another 10, for bonus points :D

"yea the trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news,
all it does is make me sit and wonder,
why are people so eager to be so cruel?"

I have a very wide repertoire of rock/metal. I mean pretty much everything. I do have a weakness for female vocals though. \m/ probably because I have played guitar since school and drums for about 10 years.

Let's start with this.. Floor Jansen and Nightwish (symphonic operatic metal)
NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) - YouTube

The original singer - Tarja
Nightwish - Bless The Child (OFFICIAL VIDEO) - YouTube

Epica - another operatic/symphonic group, very good:
Epica - Sensorium (studio) HQ - YouTube
EPICA - Design Your Universe [FULL ALBUM] + Bonus Tracks - YouTube

Killswitch engage, this is absolution: Killswitch Engage - This Is Absolution [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - YouTube (superb to drum along to!)

In this moment, big bad wolf (video may mess): https://youtu.be/j-qQ_brIsfY

Maiden.. from the 80s through 90s (I think fear of the dark was the last album I bought)
