Friday and the Random 10 (2014 Edition)
Last week I did a special Christmas edition of the Random 10, and as I checked the calender I realized that this one will be the last for 2014. So I wondered if I could use the search function on my media player to just pull up music/albums that were released this year. Turns out I can.
Now everyone knows by now I am more of a classic rock kind of dude and it shows up in the countdown a lot, but at least you can see that I try to make an effort to stay somewhat contemporary.
The rules and whatnot are still up there ↑ at the top, but we'll let them slide so we can start off the new year fresh.
1) Amaranthe/Danger Zone - One of the new bands I am high on. However I can't stand the whole "death metal" singer thing. That's not singing. And the chick is hot. The new album is called "Massive Addictive".
2) Moonlit Sailor/Paris - I have recently discovered something called "post rock" (I know I'm behind the times) which is mostly a lot of cool experimental instrumentals and very little vocals, if any at all.
4) AC/DC/Hard Times - Hell yeah I was excited they came out with something new. I was saddened by the news that Malcolm Young had to leave the band because he was suffering from dementia. This is currently #10 on the album charts.
5) Intervals/Atlas Hour - Another new "intelligent" band I have found. Kind of like Dream Theater.
6) Skyharbor/Evolution - Same as above. I like bands that actually put some thought behind their music. They pretty much had me at the album cover too.
10) Yes/The Game - Yeah, that's right. They did release a new album this year. I will be covering it very soon on my Music Monday segments. I might not be very kind to it either. But hey, we did get a new Roger Dean album cover.

3) Amaranthe/Exhale - Also from "Massive Addictive". I did post one of their older (and awesome) videos here if you want to check them out.

7) AC/DC/Baptism By Fire - Keep rocking on guys.
8) AC/DC/Miss Adventure - Sounds like the kind of woman I am looking for.
9) Moonlit Sailor/Dollar Underwater - It's like they paint cool landscapes with music.
10) Yes/The Game - Yeah, that's right. They did release a new album this year. I will be covering it very soon on my Music Monday segments. I might not be very kind to it either. But hey, we did get a new Roger Dean album cover.

I am sitting here hoping that something in particular shows up. It is my favorite new band of 2014. It's probably the kiss of death that I am so high on them so maybe it's best if they don't show up. The STCS for the last time in 2014 is Yes/To Ascend, which is one thing their albums no longer do on the charts (ouch). That new band will just have to remain a mystery for now.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Roll Tide!
