Metal and Rock Playlist
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGdExAWayyzK10HD9DY5knFsO6fp668wV
General playlist made to cover some classic rock and metal. Some songs may be neither rock nor metal. Some might not even be very good.
Classic Rock: Blue Öyster Cult : (Don’t Fear) The Reaper
Why is Don’t Fear in brackets? No one really knows. Unless you spent 2 minutes searching on the internet.
Hold on
CatGPT: How may I serve you meatbag?
meowster: Tell me why *Don't Fear* is in brackets in the title of (Don't Fear) the Reaper?
CatGPT: No
There you have it.
Tyranny and Mutation https://open.spotify.com/album/23XePU1WsEEnWLLKTCEuc5?si=CxB0kCmqSmWgDRMGupPnhA was my gateway album.
King’s X - Over My Head
Absolutely the best rock band to never make it big.
Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
CatGPT: What now meatsack?
meowster: Is this song rock or metal?
CatGPT: No
I can’t really argue with that but this song got me through the early 90s and was my introduction to Industrial Metal. It’s probably a metaphor for something.
Sisters of Mercy - Doctor Jeep
Most disappointing concert I’ve been to recently.
The Sisters had three main phases. First and Last and Always (First Album): Miserable. Floodland (Second Album): Bombastic edgelord. Vision Thing (Third Album): Goth Meatloaf.
Mastodon - High Road
A 2014 song. This might be one of the more modern songs. Mastodon were everywhere for a while. I’m not sure what happened to them. Let’s see:
CatGPT: Meat?
meowster: Are Mastodon still happening?
CatGPT: The hairy elephants? No. The progressive rock & metal band? Yes.
Well who knew?
Cold in Berlin - God I Love You
I may have picked the wrong song. I would suggest listening to the following one instead.

I saw them at the first Edinburgh Goth Festival and they terrified me.
Gloryhammer - Hootsforce
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkUAzcja74Y&list=PLGdExAWayyzK10HD9DY5knFsO6fp668wV&index=3
Progressive power metal with a touch of the symphonic.
A series of concept albums about the evil wizard Zargothrax taking over Dundee with undead Unicorns and invading the Kingdom of Fife.
MASTER BOOT RECORD - INTERNET PROTOCOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6KFfYdNPh8&list=PLGdExAWayyzK10HD9DY5knFsO6fp668wV&index=5
A 486SX PC living in a basement churns out tunes for our AI overlords to listen to.

Rammstein - Deutchland
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeQM1c-XCDc&list=PLGdExAWayyzK10HD9DY5knFsO6fp668wV&index=8
It’s Rammstein.
Tumor Circus = The Man With Corkscrew Eyes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiVd50Y7Qbw&list=PLGdExAWayyzK10HD9DY5knFsO6fp668wV&index=7
I could explain the era in my life during which I thought this was a good song.
CatGPT: 'Sup?
meowster: What was my life like when I thought this was a good song?
CatGPT: Been better.
I don’t know what that means.
Is it rock or metal? No. Is it Jello Biafra on lyrics? Yes!
Also Ran
Lake Malice
Saw them supporting Hanabie and they were amazing.

The band I was actually thinking of when I added Tumor Circus to the list.
