It's official; I'm out of my Pop music phase and back to normal. I'm now back to Progressive Metal, specifically Dream Theater and random bands from Bandcamp.
Also, at work, one of my new co-workers (who incidentally got hired on for the Cash Office) is a drummer. This got my brain working overtime and since I have the Only Child Syndrome, I can't help but see it as a competition (it doesn't help that he's five years younger). Instead of playing around to songs I feel like in the moment, I now have a list of ten songs that will learn to my highest current ability. Here they are (in no particular order):
- The Dark Eternal Night by Dream Theater
- Bridges in the Sky (Live at Luna Park) by Dream Theater
- Lost Not Forgotten by Dream Theater (this is a redo for my new kit)
- World of Madness by Spheric Universe Experience
- Now or Never by Spheric Universe Experience
- O.B.E. by Spheric Universe Experience
- Vital Signs by Rush (this is a request by my Grocery Manager Paul)
- Far Cry (Snakes & Arrows Live) by Rush
- One Little Victory by Rush
- This Will Be the Day by Jeff Williams (featuring Casey Lee Williams)
