So everyone kiss and make up and let's move on discussing more hard music.

Wow, I wasn't intending to start a debate here

If you don't care of the ADD-inspired madness of my playlists, that's fine. I have wide-ranging eclectic tastes, and that is reflected in my weekly shows. My first "theme" show was all about thrash metal (my favorite style), my 2nd was a focus on Mad At The World, and I did a grindcore mini-special the following week. I like to mix it up. If others are more limited in their tastes, that's cool too. My wife is real picky about what she listens to, and I understand some people are just that way. My goal is simply to give people the opportunity to get exposed to stuff they might not normally listen to, and if they like it, great! If not, that's cool too.

It's all a matter of opinion really, but to me "hard music" implies lighter stuff than most metal boards, things that would not be considered heavy metal, but hard rock. I think it's a good reflection of the musical styles that generally get discussed here.

I don't see that there was any intention to be divisive, though. It's all just opinions.

Broadcasting now!

Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me.

Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

Love your playlists there MetalFRO. In my house our music tastes are as eclectic as can be. My wife is a classical violinist, and just hates any form of Core or Screamo music. My youngest son loves LeCrae and Manafest as well as Demon Hunter. My daughter listens to rock and hard rock and my oldest son is a big fan of indi and screamo. As for me, I'll listen to anything that doesn't insult my intelligence. The band has to have some talent and know what they are about...or it goes into the bin. I'm a big fan of Tourniquet as well as Jerusalem and Demon Hunter, though my favorite all around genres are Prog and Hard Rock.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments, and glad you're enjoying the show! In case I forgot to mention it, the 3rd Sunday of each month is a "theme" episode where I highlight a particular band, genre, or "theme" of some kind. This month's theme is "Epics and Long Songs". The playlist will be deceptively short
