I’ve seen the Melvins at the Ottobar a few times!
I liked a few of Dinosaur Jr’s songs.
I also want to give awareness to this song for those who might not have heard of it:
The video is silly, but the song slaps. The lyrics are amazing. If you like Tyler, the Creator, you’ll love this artist.

Thundercat’s “It Is What It Is” was my favorite album last year. Just great all the way through and it’s only like half an hour long so it’s easy to repeat.
That said, my first love is hard rock/metal and I’m pleased to see so many CHU metalheads.

My 11 year old and 7 year old both like Jinjer. They thought Baby Metal was strange. Just couldn’t get them into them. Both my boys absolutely love Rob Zombie which kind of freaks my wife out a bit. I told her that 99% of his songs have no cussing in them. I said it’s mostly old horror imagery. (Not including Pu$$y Liquor and Everyone is F-ing on a UFO).

Ottobar is still my stomping ground. I still catch shows there (well I did until Covid). When were you in Baltimore?
Can’t mention female metal bands without mentioning one of my favorites. Butcher Babies

Listening to at the moment? The last couple of days, it has been John Mellencamp’s The Lonesome Jubilee, an album I liked a lot back in the 80’s but hadn’t listened to in a long time. Of much more recent vintage is a group called on Mouse On The Keys, a keyboard-oriented, proggish/jazzy group from Japan.
I have a real hard time liking new music. I don’t seek it out like I used to and have gotten kinda stuck listening to the same stuff. Granted that same stuff includes a ton of different music.
I think the heaviest music I like is stuff like Pantera, Sepultura, Marilyn Manson, and Korn.

Really got into music in the late 70s and I think my favourite bands at different points along the way have been The Police, Human League, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, U2, Simple Minds, Oasis, Crowded House, The Cure, Evanesence and Shinedown. Also got time for some classic soul sounds when I am in the right mood : )
