I really should follow some bands more closely, because I just discovered that Amorphis did a live album! It includes my favourite track of theirs, Black Winter Day. Just a damn good tune. But funny moments, the bass player has an Axl Rose look going. And the lead guitarist leans into either a breeze or wind machine when he does his big solo. Gotta love it. :)

Started Cher discography. Wow, I did not know that her career is that long. First album "All I Really Want to Do" came out in 1965! And, well, the production quality is nothing to speak of, but it's a given, it's more than 50 years old! That being said, the whole album is somewhere above average. Has couple of stand-out songs even though their quality is kinda poor, and I see that Needles and Pins was to go to cover for some bands. Not really a fan of her singing in this, feels like she's really really bored and will fall asleep anytime soon lol.
