Some Newfoundland talent called Signal Hill. They originated in St. John's, and are the house band at the Lower Deck in Halifax!  Love these guys!

That last one... "Celestial Spa" is so lifelike that identifying it as AI is difficult. Scary stuff.

I was introduced to Dire Straits at a young age and impressionable age.....thank God.

I like just about everything they ever released....but this one is very special.

 

Dire Straits - Ride across the river.

I like a wide variety of music from multiple genres, unlike many people in my age group. Around the time I turned 60 I began gravitating more toward music without any lyrics, but nothing is as good as the classic metal and hard rock stuff like that one in your post.

I do not view music as being an artistic expression. If it doesn't entertain me then I don't like it. I look for demonstration of superior instrumental or vocal ability and melodical excellence. I simply don't care about a person "expressing" their self, the underlying message or whatever agenda they are peddling, or the cultural relevance of their musc, etc. If that even becomes evident to me I tend to reject it. Entertain me... now... or I am turning it off. Music without lyrics seldom annoys me, but often entertains me.

 

Perhaps one of the reasons us older guys like the older music is because the older musicians were focused on entertaining and producing melodic excellence as "entertainers" rather than trying to be artists or cultural influencers. That kind of crap just turns me off.

Thank you @Mr. Fox 

I really had not considered this angle before! I myself would never consider playing guitar and singing on a stage because I'm just not good enough to be anything like a professional entertainer.

 

I though some of these talentless idiots really didn't know they suck. Maybe they just have thousands of sycophant followers ready to hit the like button every time the "artist" farts. But this changes everything. They are obviously smart enough to make money by "expressing themselves"......huh 

 

I think I will continue to express myself by also not listening to their garbage. But I'm sure they won't loose any sleep over my decision.
