Hope I'm doing this right. Don't think I can link anything but I feel like this is a great way to start getting into the swing of things here. I've been out of touch with the music scene for a while now. So I don't really know much new or obscure stuff yet. Although in an effort to start finding my interest again, I've started going back to old stuff or rediscovering bands that I've lost touch with. Currently on my playlist by album is:

Silverchair - Young Modern (2007)

If I had listened to this album when it first came out, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it. Even now, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me as it's a lot more poppy than the stuff I usually used to listen to. Right now this is one of my most played albums and I can't really get enough of it. It's fascinating to see how this band has changed, from 1995's 'Frogstomp' which was made for 16 year olds by 16 year olds to the oddity that is 'Young Modern'. Daniel Johns in particular has shown an amazing evolution in musical and vocal styles.

Skunk Anansie - Anarchytecture (2016)

I've just recently got hold of this one. This is an album that didn't immediately grab me apart from one or two tracks but it is something that is growing on me over time. It's a little too love song heavy for my tastes but I'm enjoying the overall style of music. Not as rebellious and angry as Skunk Anansie used to be and it feels like Skin's solo career has forever effected her style.

Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks (2013)

Right now I can't get enough of the song 'Copy of A' in particular. Beyond that, I still haven't managed to concentrate enough through this album to end up with any other favourite songs from it. That's not to say it's unenjoyable but I'm finding that this style of makes me easily drift away and get lost in doing other things.

Alice Cooper - Killer (1971)

This one goes right back to the basics of my musical tastes. This is when Alice Cooper was still a band and not a solo act, when heavy metal (or I suppose classic rock) was still relatively new and experimental and unshaped by subgenre after subgenre after subgenre. I'll probably never get tired of this album.
