I just pretend I've been listening to them since before they were cool. Wouldn't want to lose my street cred.

One of my local rock stations just started playing Holy Diver by Dio pretty heavily a few years ago. If I had heard it before, I didn't know it well enough to recognize it. And I used to listen to that rock station 8 hours a day at work. :confused:

Funny that you say that, because my local rock station has been doing the same thing for the past few months. I hear that song at least 2-3 times per week and I only listen to the station for ~5 hours per week.

I always thought it was Take A Picture. Education at its finest.

I don't usually find "new" old stuff, but everyone once in a while I'll fall in love with an old album again. Stroke 9's Nasty Little Thoughts is a prime example of this. I liked it when I first heard it years ago and was really into it, then it went by the wayside until a few months ago and I freaking love it now.

not just this song, but ANY song that is on a guitar hero game is starting to get more airplay, I hear Godzilla by BOC more often now than ever


or maybe we just notice it more.... ??

I love that video. it's so pretty.

for me, it's Elliot Smith... my then-BF got me into him and I was super excited.

and then I found out he was already dead. I was sooo pissed at him.

Reminds me of this girl that I had a crush on back in the day...she used to love that song


edit: good music is good music. Fvk what other people think.

edit2: damn she was cute....*keeps listening to the song*

edit 3: Hell I discovered Cachao on the day he died and regretted not knowing about his stuff sooner. It's fantastic.

I do notice Guitar Hero songs more now (and play the "guitar" in my head)... but I noticed Holy Diver getting more airplay before Guitar Hero came out, and before it was remade by some band I've never heard of.
