Iron Maiden - Prague 2025. Can't wait, even though I haven't listened to any of their albums since Brave New World. Good thing they're only playing songs off their first 9 albums

So Iron Maiden:

to Fear of the dark:

And one for @tody

@Tago-Mago Saw them in Cologne in 23. Way too much daylight for Fear Of The Dark, though. Prague should be a trip in itself!

Shifting the conversation over here for music discussion outside of our unpopular opinions; I was working in my studio this afternoon and put on some music that was recommended in the Unpopular Opinions thread.

I listened to Steely Dan: Aja. Twice in a row. Man, that's a SOLID album. I've been a very casual Steely Dan fan since I took drum lessons in middle school, but I've never really sat down and listened to an album. What an intro! My drum teacher was a big Steely Dan fan and picked them because the grooves are interesting and challenging, and make for really good practice. Thanks for the rec @mclaincausey , @Matt , @flannel-slut. And @Tago-Mago , I'm still planning on giving Opeth some listening time. I just need to get over this Steely Dan high first.

@seawolf that album has Bernard Purdie, Steve Gadd, Ralph Humphrey, and Jim Keltner on drums, to name a few. Crazy jazz and session players on other instruments too. It would be hard to find an album with a better roster of talent.

I love the compositions, but the performances and production are just so insanely dialed in. Yet it still sounds natural and unforced and not overproduced.

last one gone

Tidal or Qobuz as a streaming service??

Was having this conversation with a buddy yesterday about bands or genres that are accepted in certain regions, but made fun of in others.

The example I'll give is the band Sublime.

I grew up on the beaches of FL, near St. Petersburg. When I was in middle school and high school, Sublime was loved by almost everyone. Making a beach playlist? Put it on. Want a slow jam to throw on at a party? Do it. Want a solid album to bump while driving down the beach with the windows down? Done.

When I moved to Nashville a little over 10 years ago, most people seem to not take them seriously. Make fun of them. Make fun of people that like them. Etc. Almost in the same way that I make fun of bands like Nickelback or Creed.

Is there a band or genre you grew up loving in your hometown area that seems to be a joke everywhere else?
