Well, here we are! Apologies if I'm taking too much space for myself but I always wanted to have a separate thread for this particular topic. Now, talking about my musical interests, I like music from across a variety of genres, from Regional folk, Bollywood to Bolt Thrower and everything in between! But here I'm listing songs, mostly from the Heavy Metal and Hard Rock genres and limiting myself to one song per artist to keep it interesting (else it would be full of Maiden and Metallica songs) and making it a bit more dynamic. So stay with me and I will be glad if you could have any good finds here. And, do share your opinions!
I will be posting 2 songs in a countdown manner, in a gap of 2-3 days until the final reveal. So... here we go!
#40. "King"
'The Second Great Awakening' (2003), Fireball Ministry
Fireball Ministry is one of my recent finds after craving for some solid, dirty, old school rock n' roll-tinged Stoner/Sludge metal and I must say, even though being pretty inconsistent in releasing albums (only 5 as of yet, since last two and a half decades), they always DELIVER! The said album has to be my favourite by them and the standout track from it is definitely King. The bass-drum intro, leading straight into the main riff, gives strong early-Sabbath vibes, not to mention, the vocalist sounds eerily similar to Ozzy. I personally feel, they should have made a big name in the scene.
#39. "Moonrider"
'Moxy' (1974), Moxy
One of the best rock bands and songs, you probably never heard about. These Canadian rockers have more in common with Texas Southern rock, considering they were one of the most requested bands among Texas radio stations when they debuted with this record. The moment, the intro kicks in, you will get instantly hooked! The vocals, the solos, the overall playing just awesome not to mention the clean section in the middle, lets you have a soothing moment before turing the action right back on!
