What are you listening to? What would you recommend?

For the classic rock and Spongebob fans out there, you'll love and recognize this.

Here's some real music for y'alls. It's the best American metal band (from Texas, in fact) covering the best from the UK. Doesn't get any better than that!

Lately at work, I've been putting on Pandora. Currently the band (and associated type of music) that I've been listening to is Tesla. Which has had a lot of Guns N' Roses, some Foreigner, Whitesnake, etc.
-
@Bud Very nice. Love Pandora personally.
-
One of my favorites.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax1U5MrlNCw

@DenisKelley Try editing your post with a new link. That one didn't go through.
-
@ajstringham I'm still really hooked on MC Frontalot. I've been listening to his album Favoritism (greatest hits) on rotation for many months now!
-
@Nic Never been an MC fan overall. Not a huge fan of that genre but I'm open to trying it out. You got a link handy to any particular song I should start with?

I have been doing exactly that for a year or so now. When I enter Tesla as the "station", it gives you such a great selection! Not to mention that Tesla is about the most under-rated band of the 80/90's.

@ajstringham this is probably his most well known song:

@Nic I'll give it a listen later.

Tesla and Queensryche... two of the most underrated, underappreciated bands from that era...
-
@Bud @art_of_shred I keep hearing Tesla mentioned but I can't say as I've ever heard of them. I may have heard stuff by them. The name sounds vaguely familiar but I'm not sure. What are their big songs that if someone would recognize something by them it would be ______?
-
Hmmm, popular Tesla songs? Love Song, their cover of "Signs", Modern Day Cowboy, Edison's Medicine, Heaven's Trail, ...
-
@art_of_shred Sign, sign - everywhere a sign...

Pretty much nailed it with these...
@ajstringham YouTube my friend... Just YouTube those five songs...
-
I put Queensryche in the same category as bands like Rush, Dream Theater, and other prog rock-ish bands. Are they under-appreciated? Maybe. Does anyone care? No. Great musicianship, but boring music to sit and listen to (maybe not so much for Rush, but you get the idea). I don't care how good they are if they can't hold my interest with their music.
-
Oh, and don't forget "The Way It Is" (Tesla). I love that one!

I partially agree with regards to Dream Theater. Some are slow and melodic. However, Panic Attack has been overplayed. If you want some amazing music, I'll send you some of John Petrucci's solo stuff. That'll get you going...
-
I kinda doubt it. A guitarist tends to sound the same no matter what he does; it's the style he plays. Petrucci is awesome, but I get bored listening to him.
