Good morning Kevin...
All that shows up is a hyper link... I'm assuming that's hard to dance to
Good morning Rock! I’m old and poorly educated can you give me a break? 🤪

That is me in a nutshell. My wife has been filling me in on the end of movies since we were teenagers watching the Lord of The Ring movies. Lol
I have to do that for my husband as well but it's really bad because most of the stuff he likes to watch I don't pay a lot of attention to because I'm reading it playing on my phone.

Alright, question... do we like "heavier" metal music in here or is @AlyciaMarie going to kick me out? Or maybe I should save it for #Smorgasbordafterdark
I don't like music that makes me feel like I'm being yelled at but you can still post it as far as I'm concerned because i know that several others here enjoy it.

Update for you guys on my BRS order drama. I contacted BRS and they are going to ship me replacement and upgrade it to UPS shipping instead of USPS for free for me. He said if I ever get the first order to just keep it and not worry about sending it back to them.

I try to post songs on the lighter side or with minimal "harsh" vocals. Generally, I listen to a whole range of music from nice, calm rock and roll, all the way to the complete opposite spectrum. Just depends on what I am in the mood for.

Certainly, If it's just a few of us who like the more "harsh" stuff it's not the right place to post it for me at least. I like everything maybe the only thing I don't enjoy is Opera but I won't bash it.

I always call it an acquired taste. For me, a lot of the more "yelling" songs I listen to have some absolutely gorgeous instrumentals. The funny part is when you remove the vocals, it feels like something is missing. I've gotten accustomed to "harsher" vocals; there are still some points where even for me it gets a little much, but I generally can listen to any metal/rock genre

Definitely... I can't do metal that's purely yelling/harsh vocals, I enjoy Melodic Death Metal that is broken up by soft traditional singing. I.e. some of the In Flames tracks. Anyway a lot of it has classical music undertones when you remove the vocals and most are trained in classical.

The newest In Flames album wasn't half bad. It's nice when you get the breaks with traditional singing. I tend to listen to Amorphis the most when it comes to that genre, but I'm not super picky with that genre
