I can see, well hear, some similarities, but the vocals are nowhere close to metallica...

Inspired by @zasada's posts, here's some Prog from Poland by the band Albion, with female vocals (Ania Batko):



This song was released on Albion's eponymous album in 1995.
A curiosity: The name Albion means Britain (or England) in Roman times.

When my daughter was in high school, her school orchestra organized a trip to Poland, and at the time, the missus and I both thought: "Poland?!? Who the hell would spend 'fly-to-europe' money, and then just go to Poland"?!? Long story short (as they say), the missus ended up going as a chaperone, and to this day (some 15 years later), they both go on and on about what an incredible experience the whole trip was.

Awesome! I can understand how such a one of a kind experience leaves fond and long lasting memories.

Around 1966, when I was about 10, my parents and other relatives hosted a group of Polish youngsters, aged 15-18, IIRC, for 3 weeks. This was in the Netherlands, where we lived on the beach during the Summer season. It was a "camp" setting with 2 rows of relatively luxurious but also fairly primitive 12x18' wooden beach huts, 40-80 feet from the surf, depending on the tide. The little village was 3/4 mile away.

That group had a blast and then some. And so did we, an interesting mixing of cultures, habits, and communication. None of us spoke Polish, and they didn't speak Dutch. But among all we figured it out with some German, English, and pointing at objects, building ad hoc dictionaries that were shared with the other families. Some of those youngsters stayed in contact for many years after.

Downloaded this AT LEAST 20 years ago off of good old alt.binaries.mp3s, and I still queue it up every now and then... Absolutely NO IDEA who the artist is! Does anyone recognize it?

The mp3-tags say:
title: your pet
artist: Ozzy's Favorites
album: CJ
date: 2000

Nice track!
But I'm clueless who it is and Discogs doesn't recognize any of the fields. Could be a personal compilation. Or something truly obscure.

Usenet is still there and active, but (private) torrents have taken over most of the business.

There was tons of music on Usenet back in the early 2000s. Not so much lately, although some servers are retaining content as far as 5000 days back.
Much content is obfuscated and/or encrypted/passworded now, making it useless. But most music is still available and ready for downloading, just not as plentiful as it was 10-20 years back, when we didn't have the speed and server retention we enjoy today.

Wow!! Hadn't heard this before tonight. Very impressive.
Lake Street Dive featuring Rachel Price who wrote and sings this song.

Listening to Rush all night long, and had to post when my absolute favorite song came up!

Woman at 2:35 should not be smiling - about to get wrecked (4-move checkmate coming). I always liked this song.

RIP Ian Bairnson, long time Alan Parsons Project guitarist. I met him a couple times, and spoke with him on the phone once. A truly kind and humble soul.

I happened to notice @grampapark 's tagline and the tune rushed back into my brain after all these years.

Not from some movie for me, from the clock radio going in the dark telling me I had to trudge in the snow to junior high school. 1970's on W4 or WRIF, FM, detroit, they played it all the time at one point.

@Dland think you mean @grampamark

I clicked on the location once and it took to lambeau field, not far from where I trudged to jr high school in the snow too. Last period gym class meant walking home with frozen hair.

Does watching the tribute to the Beach Boys on TV count?
Lots of various artists performing their songs.

Amazing album from 1973...Brubeck was really rocking out and it has 16 minute version of Take Five

I love classical music and I'm currently listening to the Bach Brandenburg concerto's.

I likely posted this one back when I first joined the forum, but in celebration of going on five years, I'll post it again. Dedicated to those of us who are still around, as well as those that have left and floated away;

Edit: forgot to include that Belafonte passed away.

She's gonna be 70 at friday...

I have been really into older country lately. Hank Jr, Travis Tritt, Tim McGraw. Also, I am digging Jason Aldean

But I have to admit, my punk side is coming out to. LOL Check this out.

oooh Jason Aldean is older country now? Hmmm. I guess he's with the Sons. That's cool, love old country.

Lol. No. He is more of the new country. I meant Hank Jr and Travis are more older to me.

Saw AC/DC in St. Paul MN when this song was brand-new (2008 or 2009)? We had absolute garbage seats, but it was still one of the most amazing live rock concerts I've ever been to.

hard to listen to just one AC/DC song

because you can't listen to just one bagpipe song

more tribal drums
