BlueSkies May 3 Share May 3 Maybe some day I'll do a deep @Rushmoras like dive into this groups albums. They seemed kind of too intense/hard core for me as a teenager. But maybe I've grown into a taste for them. This song was pretty good Link to comment

This song was pretty good Too bad that Spotify (on Internet) for me shows greyed out all popular rap artists for some reason (as if lost licenses), I may be inclined to listen to some of the artists I know in passing (though, on app, they are all accessible, but I'm using the app for local artists discog [yah, I'm strange that way]). 2 Link to comment
Rushmoras May 4 Share May 4 After quite a deliberation in my mind was thinking to start Judas Priest, went a whole different route and chose Patricia Kaas. 2 Link to comment
Bastet May 8 Share May 8 I hate that song, and have from the moment it came out. I don't really care for RHCP songs in general, but that's the only one I absolutely cannot listen to. Link to comment
WritinMan May 11 Share May 11 (edited) Been listening to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter. I've never been a fan of hers, but I'm liking a lot of this album. It's shocking how much more interesting, fun, and creative this is than Taylor's new release. Not sure it's fair to compare them like this. Two different people; two different albums. But they're pretty much the two most powerful women in music right now, so it's kind of unavoidable. Edited May 11 by WritinMan 2 Link to comment
Rushmoras May 12 Share May 12 (edited) So, Sugababes - Too Lost in You was actually a remake of Patricia Kaas Quand j'ai peour de tout (from her fourth album "Dans ma chair" (1997)). The more you learn when you delve in to international sphere discog... Edited May 12 by Rushmoras Link to comment
BlueSkies May 12 Share May 12 My teenage crush grown up performing this song recently 2 Link to comment
Annber03 May 13 Share May 13 Damn, that was a good medley. "You Don't Own Me" mixed in with that worked really well. I liked the darker take on "Genie in a Bottle", too. She sounded great. Also, her backup dancers are amazing. Wow. 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras May 15 Share May 15 (edited) Fifth Patricia Kaas album "Le mot de passe" (1999). This album is so far her best. Edited May 15 by Rushmoras Link to comment
Rushmoras May 18 Share May 18 Sixth Patricia Kaas album "Piano Bar" (2002). It's a jazz/blues type slow song album, also entirely in English. Kinda eh in comparison to previous of her works. This song kinda reminds of Lana Delrey vibes (or vice versae considering that Lana came waaaaaaaay later)... Link to comment
Rushmoras May 19 Share May 19 (edited) Seventh Patricia Kaas album "Sexe fort" (2003). Almost perfect. EDIT, also noticed that my Spotify library of her songs is now at exact 69 tracks. That's in line with this albums' title lol 🤣 Edited May 19 by Rushmoras Link to comment
Rushmoras May 22 Share May 22 Eight Patricia Kaas album "Cabaret" (2008). Um, yeah, I don't particularly like this style of singing and playing. Link to comment
Anela May 22 Share May 22 This has been stuck in my head, since I heard it in the grocery store. I knew that I knew it from somewhere, but had totally forgotten it. I googled the lyrics, and my teen years came back to me. I need to get it out of my head, though. And this was stuck in my head the week before: 4 Link to comment
Annber03 May 22 Share May 22 (edited) There's an online '90s station I like to throw on at work every so often and they've been playing that "All 4 Love" song a lot on there :D. I don't seem to remember hearing that one as much when I was a kid, but I know I heard a couple of their other songs a lot when I was younger. And I like that Haim song. I first heard it in an episode of "Bates Motel", of all places :p. Edited May 22 by Annber03 1 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras May 24 Share May 24 (edited) Ninth Patricia Kaas album "Kaas chante Piaf" (2012). From what little French I know (and I don't), I guess this album was either from some theatre play about Edit Piaf or she re-sung in her own fashion Piaf's songs. Anyway, another album that I do not particularly like. Edited May 24 by Rushmoras Link to comment
Rushmoras May 25 Share May 25 And with Patricia Kaas (Bonus Tracks Version) (2016), self-titled album, I completed yet another discography. In comparison to her last two albums this was pretty good.

Rushmoras May 26 Share May 26 First Judas Priest Album "Rocka Rolla" [Remastered] (1974). Disclaimer: I only know a couple of their songs (Breaking the law & Hellraiser, if Hellraiser was theirs and I'm not mistaking it with Ozzy). And, while listening to this seventies... I want to say rock, but I bet it was deemed as metal then... [edit, after checking wiki, nope, it is actually hard rock mixed with blues rock] all I'm thinking is, yep, that's exactly how the 70s music sound, can't wait to go to the 80s... Link to comment
BlueSkies May 26 Share May 26 Glad Yacht radio is back on Sirius. Heard this one today 4 Link to comment
Rushmoras May 27 Share May 27 Second Judas Priest album "Sad Wings of Destiny" (1976), which is metal through and through, however, most of it I find meh... Link to comment
Rushmoras May 29 Share May 29 Fourth Judas Priest album "Stained Glass" (1978). So far, this one is the best of theirs. Link to comment
Rushmoras May 30 Share May 30 Fifth Judas Priest album "The Killing Machine" (1979). Another good album, and it appears that I indeed have heard more of their songs in the past, just did not know who sung them (like Hell Bent for Leather or Before the Dawn) Link to comment
Rushmoras May 31 Share May 31 Sixth Judas Priest album "British Steel" (1980). Yep, the beginning of modern sound, and so far the best of their albums. Link to comment
Rushmoras June 1 Share June 1 Seventh Judas Priest album "Point of Entry" (1981). In comparison, I'd say meh. Neither bad, nor good. Didn't really enjoy it. Most stuff I could attribute to background noise... 2 Link to comment
Rushmoras June 2 Share June 2 Eight Judas Priest album "Screaming for Vengeance" (1982). Might be their worst yet. Aside from You've got another thing coming and Fever, all songs are kinda bland and uninspired. But, I guess, that's a given, when they had released their albums annually up to this point... 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras June 3 Share June 3 Ninth Judas Priest album "Defenders of the Faith" (1984). Vastly superior to Screaming for Vengeance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7wYGjLvgJw Link to comment
Rushmoras June 4 Share June 4 Tenth Judas Priest album "Turbo 30" (1986). Commercialized, quality produced, meant for the masses. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Link to comment
Rushmoras June 6 Share June 6 Eleventh Judas Priest album "Ram It Down" (1988). Eh, better than expected after thinking that this one ain't going to top Turbo 30, and it didn't, but still better than many others of theirs... Link to comment
Rushmoras June 7 Share June 7 Twelfth Judas Priest album "Painkiller" (1990). So far, this is the third pretty good or must listen album of theirs for me. Link to comment
