Rush - 'Roll the Bones' - there are some good tracks on the album.

Now going to listen to 'Counterparts', an album I've only ever heard a couple of times before. :hmm:

Not one of my faves, Counterparts. Though i like Nobody's Hero

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

As for me, a bit more mellow

King Tubby - King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown (1974) :smoke:

King Tubby was a recording engineer at a time when Jamaican singles typically featured an instrumental version on the b-side.  Originally he just removed the vocal track, but in time, discovered he could create an entirely new song by changing the mix of tracks.  This would ultimately create the dub genre.  I'm not a big fan of dub; there are a lot of incompetent remixes out there, but King Tubby really had a gift for this.  Every track on this album is brilliant.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I like SOAD, I like Amon Amarth, and I like weird covers.

However, Amon Amarth's cover of Aerials is not very good. :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl-eM5e7iK4

I kinda like this one, german folk metal with French Musketters and the Cardinal guards :)

Much easier to try and learn german from this than from your average Rammstein song! :)

If you like German medieval-ish rock, here's a list of bands:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Mittelalterrockbands

Off the list, the bigger names are Feuerschwanz, In Extremo (they had a cameo in Gothic 1 :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ebgjk0vtzY), Letzte Instanz, Rabenschey, Subway to Sally (they've veered a bit more into generic rock/metal, though). Maybe also Faun, which is not on the list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr8d9sXioj4

For more lyrical German lyrics (with more extreme music), I recommend Nocte Obducta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oH0deSKnxQ

Oh, and Haggard, who blend metal and baroque music - though their lyrics switch between German and English. Their last album (Tales of Ithiria) was not very good, unfortunately, but the earlier ones are great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE4BZSPa-A8
