Somebody stop me, please. I just created a 4-hour playlist for Anathema - but have I even listened to it?... Nope. Not yet. I am busy downloading more stuff. Which currently happens to be Scorpions. Yeah, Scorpions. Germans & East Europeans on my flist, feel welcome to roll your eyes & chuckle.;) Yes, those old album covers are desperately corny, and so are some of the songs. But - God help me - I like them. *hangs head in shame* ;) Or maybe I'm just getting old and will now officially like anything released before the onset of the 21st century.:P Actually, what I really want right now is a playlist of metal ballads. You know, like those old bootleg tapes they used to sell in Eastern Europe back in the eighties/nineties... Metal Ballads Volume 1, Metal Ballads Volume 2 etc. Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?... I used to have a few of those tapes back in the day, but I can't remember the band or song names anymore. So I don't even know what to search for to download. Other than really obvious stuff - like, for example, Metallica's Nothing Else Matters, which is probably THE top metal ballad of last century. Any suggestions?... I don't mind corny, apparently. I'm in sentimental mode and I want old, cheesy stuff.:P I'm past the point of feeling embarrassed. So if you happen to have any ideas, please don't feel shy about them.:D
