Hahaha. Dragyn had me save "Intergalactic Space Crusaders" in his music folder when I listened to it... XD
(I'm on his computer because he is using mine to play games... :P )

Hey, Blood, you should check out the second band Tvorsk posted. Dragyn and I think it sounds like something you might like. :)

Glad you liked. :)
I've actually bought the live album, from which these Youtube videos are from. 2CD + DVD, something around $20 with shipping.
That's, quite literally, my first purchase of a "real CD" ever. I've bought some albums before, but only as downloads.

Holy squid, indeed!

I passed up the links earlier, because I was out of time, so I'm really glad you reminded me to give them a click.

Synth-metal ballads, about exploring new horizons? Yessssss.

Lift-off didn't really do it for me, but once I reached Set your Controls, I was hooked and had to click more.

It's a bit more crazy than that.
Arjen Lucassen, like Mike Oldfield, does all music by himself, and invites various vocalists to sing for him.
His main "project" is called Ayreon. There, just about every song is different vocalist and so on.
Star One is different, it's a "heavier" project, and with a consistent lineup.
The first album had songs about various "space" movies and shows.
Set Your Controls is Dr.Who, Intergalactic Space Crusaders is Blake's 7, and so on.
(They recorded second album recently, about dystopian movies. Opening track is about The Matrix. ;))
This live album has, of course, more musicians; Arjen plays guitar, but couldn't play everything else himself live at the same time. ;)
Anyway, this live DVD, has some, not all, songs from the first studio album, and a bunch of Ayreon songs performed by the Star One lineup.
And seriously, some of the latter (Isis and Osiris, The Eyes Of Time, so on) sound BETTER than originals.

Anyway, if you're searching on YT, check (all performed by Star One, from the same DVD):
High Moon (that's a Star One song)
Songs Of The Ocean (also Star One song)
Dawn of a Million Souls (that one's Ayreon)
Into The Black Hole (also Ayreon)
Isis And Osiris (Ditto)

From there, I've found out about Ayreon itself, checked out their stuff, and loved it. A bit gentler, but still great music. Maybe you'll like it too. ;)

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) ~ Eurythmics

This song gets stuck in my head, so easily. Why are you so catchy, song? D8

That song is basically in perpetual repeat in my head.

Very catchy, indeed.

Probably because the famous odd synthbass baseline in this song happened due to the band accidentally playing the tape in reverse and liking the result.

That's awesome. I had no idea. XD
*Has to go listen to it and contemplate, now...* :P
And now I wonder what it sounded like before it was reversed... XD

La Seine and I, only the English version that I cannot seem to find, on Youtube. (the subtitles are not the same as the official English version)

I seriously cannot wait for the English release of this movie. It looks like it's going to be one of the better ones, this year.

It does look pretty interesting. My first thought was that a little soft guy voice like that doesn't seem like something that would come out of the brawny hulking fella dancing with that girl. Then I found out he was giant flea. So, who knows. :P
Still, interesting. :)

I'm listening to Dio's "Holy Diver."
The music video is super cheesy, but I think I can let that go, considering the time frame. XD

The song from Ferrets, by Filmcow.

Google only ye who be prepared for bloody murder and other tasteless humor.

--but it's stuck in my head, and maybe if I listen to it a few more times the urge to sing it at work will go away.

Wow...
Just...
Wow. XD

I can see why you would want to avoid singing that at work. XP

"The Rhythm of Love" - The Scorpions.
More Scorpions. :P
I'd forgotten about all of these old rock songs, but have been digging them up, lately... reminds me of my childhood. Heh.
Sadly, though, with most of these my better memories of them were of my mother singing them as she drove or worked or something. I like a lot of the originals just fine, but they can never sound the same as I remember them...

*Knocks down cobwebs*

Whoa, without me around to give it some life, this place has gone all tomblike, in the last 5 months or so.

More on that elsewhere.

Here is metal for you.
