A decade of rock #music

Posted on October 12, 2020
Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee from Comedy Plus. Image: source

This week’s Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me theme is a decade of rock music.  Our honorary co-hostess wants us to pick a decade and build a playlist of songs from the era. This is gonna be tricky. I’m sure as night follows day that a lot of overlaps and that’s okay when it’s a good tune then it’ll just pump me up all over again.  I decided to use songs from our current decade.  True it’s the beginning and for me I know little to nothing about what’s in circulation today, so most of the song titles are introductions and a few of the artists, as well but that’s the point of my collection – fresh material to feed my mewsic curiosities.  Hit play to enjoy a nonstop experience!

Tracks 1. Limitless ~Bon Jovi 2. Set Me Free ~Avenged Sevenfold 3. Godsent ~Smash Into Pieces 4. A Day to Remember ~Mindreader 5. Jets Overhead ~Kansas 6. Ordinary Man ~Ozzy Osbourne Ft. Elton John 7. Big Bang ~Smash Into Pieces 8. A Little Bit Off ~5FDP

The past couple of weeks I played Monday Madness. Unfortunately, the hosts of this Q&A meme felt it didn’t generate enough interest and cancelled it.  You can still get better acquainted with me by reading yesterday’s Sunday Stealing response. That’s a wrap for now. Have a boogietastic week!  X💋X💋, Cathy

    I like what you did with the theme! That gave me a ton of introductions to music I’ve not heard yet. 😉 Bon Jovi is always a favorite, so I love that you lead with him. This is going to be an interesting decade for sure! Thanks for the rockin’ dance, Cathy! 🙂

    I knew three of the songs. Was overjoyed to see a Kansas song in there; I loved them in the 70’s and I saw them in concert (I think there were only two original members, but you never would have known) last year. They tied for best video with Five Finger Death Punch. I am quite familiar with “A Little Bit Off Today” and the video was both funny and sympathetic to the theme. I generally don’t like F bombs in songs but this song needed the obscenities to work. Avenged Sevenfold – I like a lot of their songs and I was a bit surprised to find this song (which I didn’t know) in your lineup. I also enjoyed how some of the groups worked their videos around the quarantine. I was thinking, Bon Jovi must have already filmed his. Here’s to you, Cathy – a most original decade playlist, indeed.

    Interesting that you picked this very decade. There are those who would say that we’re just in the first year of it, but I know how you worked it. Nice choices of songs!

      John,

      That’s right we’re in the first year of this decade so I just looked for songs that released this year. I guess I didn’t play exactly by the theme since I can’t count the whole decade yet but I was certain any direction I went would be done by another, so to keep things interesting I sought out current songs. Thanks for joining me, my friend!

    Obviously, everything on this playlist is new to me. My favorite song was probably Limitless and I was a little surprised how similar the music of Set Me Free was to it. My favorite video was Kansas, Jets Overhead. There were flashback moments of the late sixties. I didn’t realize they were still around.

      Driller,

      I didn’t pick up on the similarities. I went back to listen to them again but my ears aren’t picking up what you’re hearing unless it has to do with softness of the melody. Could that be it? Kansas rocks! Thanks for stopping by to sample my playlist, my friend. Have a boogietastic week!

    We wouldn’t know where to begin with what is really in right now. Mom is stuck in the 80’s and likes to listen mostly to that music, but her station plays some new stuff too.

    Hi, Cathy!

    Happy Awww-some 4M Rocktoberfest Monday, dear friend! I hope you and DH had a nice weekend.

    It’s been many years since I last saw Bon Jovi. It was great to hear “Limitless,” a song from the band’s new album 2020, and to see Jon performing it in the video. Jon seems to be aging well. I remember when he branched out into acting and had a recurring role in ten episodes of Ally McBeal. In the “Limitless” video scenario, a young couple busts loose from the conformity of their daily lives and runs free in the city at night, chased by a guy in a suit who seems determined to haul them in and put them back in their places. They wind up taking a Butch and Sundance style leap of faith to the street below and manage to escape. In recent years I have gotten to know several great rock and metal bands from Sweden. Smash Into Pieces is new to me and I like their alternative sound on “Godsent” and “Big Bang.” As you can see, it is easy to get the band name confused with the song name. In the case of “Mindreader,” that’s the name of the song, and A Day to Remember is the name of the Ocala, Florida, metalcore band that recorded it. I appreciate the harder stuff you are presenting today. It’s nice to know that the Topeka-based rock band Kansas is still together. I enjoyed “Jets Overhead,” a song from their new 2020 album The Absence of Presence. Death Punch always hits hard, and I appreciated their song and video shot around the coronavirus pandemic. Song #2 by Avenged Sevenfold aka A7X was left out of your play lineup. I went to YouTube and listened to “Set Me Free” and again enjoyed the robust rock/metal style of that California band.

    Thank you for the Monday morning mewsic, dear friend Cathy. I wish you a safe and happy week ahead!

      Tom,

      We had a nice weekend, managing to get some things done on Friday but Saturday and Sunday was drizzly. We hope to finish up some of our outside activities this week since the forecast looks promising. I know you prefer an edger rock vibe and am happy you liked my assorted tunes featured in my playlist. I agree Bon Jovi is aging well. This playlist is a bit different then what I normally share but I enjoyed making the discovery of each song title. I may have to investigate some of these newbie groups’ songs to see what else I might find that I like. I’m glad you liked my line up. Thanks for letting me know track 2 wasn’t listed. I’m not sure what happened but I added it to my playlist. Thanks for dropping by, my friend. Have a good week!
