    If Rip allows, it would be great to start a music thread to share his top recommendations as well as those from other members. Rip's eclectic taste in music, evident from his talks and posts over the year, makes this an ideal time for such a thread. To clarify, this is not for "lifting" music, as lifting requires focus and intense concentration on cues and bar speed (I believe that lifting has to be done in silence). Instead, it’s a thread for the music that Rip and others have appreciated over the years. I'm sure we will get fantastic recommendations from everyone!

    Agree on Megadeth, that album is their best. Personal preference, I thought Marching Out was better than Rising Force.

    I really thought this thread would blow up. I’ll add one more…

    If there's one band that epitomizes musical genius, it's Rush. I can't think of three other men who could generate the sheer power and complexity of sound that Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart did. Their ability to create intricate, layered music while maintaining a cohesive and compelling sound is unmatched.

    Neil Peart, in particular, stands out as one of the greatest drummers in rock history. His technical prowess, innovative rhythms, and profound lyrics set him apart from his peers, making each Rush track a masterclass in drumming.

    For anyone who has never experienced Rush, their album "Moving Pictures" is the perfect starting point. This album showcases the band's exceptional talent, blending progressive rock with accessible melodies. Tracks like "Tom Sawyer" and "Limelight" are not just songs; they're experiences that highlight the band's virtuosity and Peart's drumming brilliance.

    Watch the intro of this Rush video, and you'll realize you'll never hear anything like this again—three musicians creating an unmatched symphony of sound and talent.

    And once you've experienced Rush, you realize that side two of that album is the better side.

    My music taste is all over the board. I have Emenem on the same playlist as Hayden, Scorpions, and George Strait.
    So I'll be brief.
    Vulgaris Magistralis.
