A somewhat comprehensive list of my favorite music. in The Big, Blue, House. Year two.

I said I was going to do this months ago, but it’s a long list, so I’ve procrastinated. This is all stuff that I listen to regularly, while doing housework. Obviously it’s not all that I listen to, that would be an insurmountable list for a single entry. This is the music that I always come back to.

Bands:

From 1994 - 2010, Type O Negative dominated my playlist. Then Peter died, and now it’s too depressing to listen to. I’m including it here because I only stopped listening to it because he died. I still regard it as some of the objectively best music ever made.

Nine Inch Nails first two albums. After that I feel it went downhill.

White Zombie, and Rob Zombie’s first album.

Metallica’s first four albums, up until the infamous Black album.

Voltaire, all of his more popular songs, with a special place for Hell In A Handbasket.

Everything the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has ever recorded.

Everything from Creature Feature / Rufus Rex.

Zombie Ghost Train. I regard thier dissolution as a tragedy.

Tim Minchin, all of his comedic works.

Ghost’s entire discography, obviously. With a special place for Stand By Him.

Individual songs:

~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~

We’re Comin’ To Kill Ya’, - Zachariah and The Lobos Riders, from the Dead And Breakfast soundtrack.

I Wanna Kill Everybody, - Ed Haynes. I heard it on the radio in high school, and I still think it’s hilarious.

Fuck Everything, - John LaJoie. *This song is awesome. If you're scrolling through this, and having a bad day, give it a chance. It never fails to improve my mood.*

I Can’t Decide, - Scissor Sisters.

I Can Kill You In A Heartbeat - Spookshow

Basically anything with a spooky, creepy theme, and lyrics you can follow along.

“Guilty Pleasures”, and nostalgia: I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, with the radio. So naturally every rock song that was ever popular from 1970 - 1994 has some resonance with me.
