Hello to all the Members,

I've been a Member for close to 5 years now but haven't introduced myself or posted much until recently. I've got more time on my hands since I've been recently retired & of course doing my social distancing as I'm sure all of you have been doing.

Along with having more leisure time I've been working on my Charts which is always a work in progress. I primarily add albums from bands/albums that I enjoy listening to as opposed to websites that rate albums based on sales/reviewer's personal opinion etc.

My favorite Genres of music would be Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, Blues & Hard Rock however I enjoy listening to Soft Rock bands most noteworthy from the 70's because they bring back fond memories growing up as a tween/teen. I also enjoy psychedelic music from the 60's. My least favorite Genre of music would be jazz however I like a couple of jazz guitarists. I've been to quite a few concerts in my day & have kept almost all of my stubs; wow how ticket prices have soared.

I like reading what Members are listening to & have searched some of the Artists & listened to a few. It's good to keep an open mind when it comes to music & there are many many enjoyable surprises out there.

Anyway; I hope some of you will peruse some of my Charts that I've created & continue working on. I'm sure that some of you have similar tastes in music.

Keep safe & well everyone & it's great to be part of this forum.

Cheers from the shores of Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada.

Hey all! This is my introductory post on BEA and, well, any music forum really.

I’m a vocal performance major, so my first love is opera-but! I have a friend who frequently posts on forums like these who has over the past year been encouraging me to listen to more and more genres. I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey thus far, and have a bunch of albums I’m on my way to listening to.

Out of the albums I’ve recently listened to, my favorite has to be OK Computer. I was captivated the entire time, and frequently re-listen to its top half especially. Somewhat disturbingly, when I read the lyrics to Fitter Happier to my dad, he said it sounded like an ideal way to live, but that’s tangential. A close second is In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, which I frequently listen to due to its short length. I also loved Trout Mask Replica, despite finding it horrendous and insufferable originally. Another favorite and probably coming in third is Twin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror). The remake is cleaner sound-wise but I cannot stand the changes he made to the lyrics and lengths of Nervous Young Inhumans and Famous Prophets (Minds) respectively.

I digress.

I’m not super picky about genres, but I seem to be into indie, lo-fi, and alt-rock recently. My favorite artists out of what I’ve already listened to are Queen (grew up on them), The Smiths, Car Seat Headrest, and Neutral Milk Hotel.

Here are some albums I already got recommended to listen to that I’ll be making a music diary thread about.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
Pixies - Doolittle
Titus Andronicus - The Monitor
Broken Social Science - You Forgot It in People
The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2
Sparklehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
Weatherday - Come In
Muse - Origin of Symmetry
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
