What Norwegian black metal sounded like 1400 years ago :
Seriously, these guys are phenomenal. My wife fluked onto them. Apparently their music is used on Vikings (the TV show). Founded by a couple of ex-Gorgoroth members funnily enough. And apparently some of this is in Old Norse (not like I can tell…).
Check this one out. Lights out and crank it :
Not sure we can call Gentle Giant an underrated band. They are highly regarded among those who know them. Certainly an obscure oddity.
Found a few more tracks even though I’m not quite sure how I stumbled upon them. All I know is that I’m glad I know they exist lol.
I find this one particularly beautiful. Something about it’s mellow nature and sincere vocals bring it to life. It feels like two former lovers trying to reconcile their differences and make it work one last time. It’s very pretty.
This is the other song I found. It’s wickedly unsettling but also awesome. I get the feeling that the band lives in a dark mansion or castle and prowls at night for victims to draw blood from. I’ve heard someone make the comparison that this is the goth “Stairway to Heaven” which made me chuckle. It’s unusual and scary but that’s what draws you in. You want to see how it plays out. A type of morbid curiosity if you will.
EDIT: To add to the goth Stairway to Heaven comparison someone else called it “Escalator to Transylvania” 
Do podcasts count?
Some songs that got me through my youth:
Over 25 years later still great songs…
The Singles soundtrack is one of the best ones ever, and add The Crow to that list.
Good music is timeless. I remind one of my sister that W.A Mozart and L.V Beethoven compositions are over 400 yo…
Remind me of a friend I borrowed an LP from in my teenage years. Took some time to give him back. Maybe two months.
He didn’t want it back! That’s “passé” he said…!!!
Bit cheesy but I think it still rock today. 
The Singles soundtrack sure nailed the zeitgeist, didn’t it? Other than the obvious Westerberg crap. “Would?” blew me away, but it was Chris Cornell’s track that really impressed me :
I’d been a fan of Soundgarden since the beginning and at the time had no inkling he was capable of this. Of course Temple of the Dog came out shortly after (dedicated to the then recently deceased Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone).
It was a great regret I never had a chance to see MLB live. I did see Soundgarden a few times though.
Any soundtrack that has songs by Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone and drumroll Screaming Trees is good in my books.
I have to admit, I’m a bit jealous. I saw Soundgarden only once live (on tour with Faith No More, back in '92)
Let’s be honest. There’s only ONE Fab Four.
You just have to love the variety, from Chris Cornell over finnish doom metal to Wantaways via the Beatles…
Amen to that; Have a like
And now for something completely different:
Their first album with Gavin Harrison on drums
