through the dec·ades at ab·so·lute


 


As we are coming to the end of our Through the Decades series, I decided to hear what YOU have to say


about songs that you favored through the decades and what influenced you in the music that you listen to today.


 


This is your chance to speak upbe heardget loud and define the very last set for Through the Decades series at Absolute.


The music you choose will be highlighted as we go through all the decades, from the 70's through today,


covering the hard rock and metal of each decade.


 


So, make your choice of which song you found to be the most impactful of each decade OR if a song is not listed,


write it into the comments section. Just keep it hard rock and metal please.


 


I look forward to seeing what YOU have to say and what you determine I play in two weeks.


 


This is post two of two. Make sure to check out the first post for the 70's, 80's and 90's decades.


(this forum only lets you ask three questions in a poll)


 


Rock on people!

While I admit that my music interest in from the 2000's to present has strayed a bit from the hard rock side of things to some Chill/Electronic/Alt stuff (Tycho, Boards of Canada, newer Depeche Mode and New Order's last release), I definitely have at least a couple thoughts here.

 

For the 2000's, I immediately had to go with something from Iron Maiden's album Brave New World.  At the time it was such a welcome (and huge) thing to have the classic lineup back together again.  Initially I thought I might choose "other" and go with "Blood Brothers", but ultimately I agree with your option above:  "The Wicker Man".  It was a return to form for them, and a classic tune that sounds like it would be perfectly at home on "Somewhere In Time" or "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son".  An album I continue to listen to.

 

For this current decade, on the hard rock side of things I absolutely have to go with something from Rush's outstanding (and final) album, "Clockwork Angels".  The tune "BU2B" (Brought Up To Believe) is definitely my choice.  It's a surprisingly heavy tune and really gave that album an early weight.  Lyrically, it's about what you'd expect from Neil Peart......thoughtful and questioning.  Geddy Lee's vocals have adapted to time but his bass playing is nothing less than masterful.   Alex Lifeson sounds in full classic form with those power chords and harmonies.  Neil Peart, while aged and technically changed still sounds pretty fantastic.

There is still plenty of time to cast your vote or make a post to the music that defined what you listen to today.
