Yes, I continue to listen to a lot of albums on Apple Music. Just finished listening to the rest of Peter Gabriel’s discography ’cause I’m a huge fan of Peter Gabriel’s solo stuff. Before then, I only heard “So”, “Us” and “Up” and now I finally got to listen to the rest of his music. I listened to his first four albums: “Car”, “Scratch”, “Melt” and “Security”. I loved all of his albums but the album I was most impressed with was “Scratch My Back”. The album, “Scratch My Back” maybe a covers album but it’s an orchestra album which is beautiful stuff.

I’ve also finished listening to the rest of Billy Idol’s catalog of albums. Billy Idol is one of my favorite artists of all time. I love all of his music.

Now that David Bowie has finally got his entire catalog which was just announced today mastered for Itunes, there was only 3  albums of his I haven’t heard yet so I listened to them today. Thanks to Apple Music, I was able to listen to his entire catalog of albums ’cause I’m such a Bowie fanatic. I love all of Bowie’s albums ’cause how you can not like his music, ya know? While I love all of Bowie’s music, I’d say my top 5 fav. albums of his are: “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust”, “Hunky Dory”, “Heroes” and his latest album, “The Next Day”.

Later tonight, I’m gonna start listening to the rest of Smashing Pumpkins albums. Over the years, I’ve heard most of Pumpkins music but there’s like 3 or 4 records of theirs I’ve never heard yet.

Soon, I’m gonna make my way to Slipknot, Ac/Dc, Rush, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, the Scorpions, etc.

That’s the amazing thing about online music streaming. Gives you the opportunity to listen to the entire catalog of albums of your favorite artists which is pretty much what they made it for.

Once again, I won’t listen to the entire catalogs of every band & artist out there… I’m only gonna listen to all the albums of the bands & artists that I love. The ones that I grew up on and the ones who inspired me over the years.

Listening to music has always been one of my favorite things to do. I listen to all sorts of music. I listen to pretty much everything except for today’s country & opera music. I’m trying to get into more blues, jazz and classical, though. I’m just focusing on a lot of jazz music right now like for example, I’ve been listening to a lot of Al Di Meola which is a good start.

This is really good news for both Iron Maiden and Slayer. I congratulate both bands for sure. Both of their new albums made it to no. 4 on the Billboard Top 200… yes, both of their news albums: Iron Maiden “Book of Souls” and Slayer’s “Repentless” made it to no. 4. Which is very impressive actually!

Which is no surprise because both of those albums are fucking amazing! Like I said before even though Jeff Hanneman and Dave Lombardo are no longer involved in Slayer… they still kill it. Many of Slayer’s haters & doubters accused Slayer of not being able to pull it off without Jeff & Dave in the lineup but Slayer absolutely proved them all wrong.

Maiden’s “Book of Souls” and Slayer’s “Repentless” are such fuckin’ amazing albums and both albums are definitely the best new albums of this year for sure.

Maybe there is hope of a metal takeover in the music industry? It would be cool. If metal bands keep up the great work, they can kill all that pop & rap garbage that’s been dominating. There can be another metal takeover, they just need to try harder.

Slayer never made the top 10 before and I’m sure the guys are extremely happy and proud of that. Once again, it’s no surprise ’cause it is a great fucking album and if you haven’t heard either of these albums yet then you’re missing out. I own my own copy of both of these albums and I can’t stop listening to them. Definitely buy these albums. This is real music here… not Justin Bieber, Kanye or Nicki Minaj.
