More Music Fun...

Following on from this and this, I'm passing this Sunday afternoon with a few more music recommendations for rinks around the UK...On with another ten top tracks first of all..

Evanescence - Going Under: Amy Lee's soaring voice, the crunching guitars and general energy of this song make it perfect for a warm-up-there's a few other Evanescence songs that could have made the cut, including the worldwide hit that was Bring Me to Life, but this one is an absolute gem.

Rancid - Time Bomb: It's just happy...the chorus is infectious and you can just generally enjoy the rock-party dancealongness of it.

Nightwish - Wish I Had An Angel: Gothic rock at its finest...fast, heavy and yet melodic enough not to scare those who may not be used to this "proper" hockey music. And of course you have the opera-trained Tarja Turunen to well and truly test the speakers with her amazing voice...

Kittie: Run Like Hell: A metal cover of the Pink Floyd song, worth it just for the chorus of "run...run...run...run...like hell!" And they're four Canadian girls as well...:) I would have picked Brackish or Spit ahead of these two when picking Kittie songs, but we don't really want to scare people too much...:)

Skid Row: Youth Gone Wild: Just because.

Pantera: Walk: Oh, yes. Fight song par excellence, this one-particularly if one of the players has bottled it at the last minute. It's worth having because it's the ultimate "come on then" song to ratchet up the hostile atmosphere somewhat. You could also use Cowboys from Hell, or, if you're not worried about the complaints, then there's always Fucking Hostile...
"Re! Spect! Walk! Are you talkin' to me?!"

30 Seconds to Mars: Attack: Another one that is on there just because of the words in the chorus. ("run away, run away...")

Cobra Starship: Snakes on a Plane: Rattling along for three minutes, this one is for all the emo kids (of which I am one)...:)

Enter Shikari: Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Hour: And this one is for the new-ravers...:)

Rage Against the Machine: Wake Up: For that intro...Some would pick Killing in the Name Of or Bullet in the Head, but I'd have this one...

Weekend review coming tomorrow...
