In Memoriam
It's been a tough year for me and mine. It started with the passing of the person who gave me my passion for music. We'd always be sharing music together, seeing what music I liked of his and his of mine. Here's a list of albums that contain countless memories. Don't mind me as I reminisce. Nothing but smiles here. |
| 1 |  | Dream Theater
Awake
One of so many Dream Theater albums we'd obsess over together. I'll never forget our picture we got with Mike Portnoy in 2009. |
| 2 |  | Twelve Foot Ninja
Silent Machine
The one album I remember you loving the most, especially for the latin influence. |
| 3 |  | Deep Purple
Machine Head
If there's one song that epitomizes the way you lived your life, it has to be "Highway Star" |
| 4 |  | Childish Gambino
"Awaken, My Love!"
The last album I got to show you. I'll always remember your comparisons of Childish to Prince. |
| 5 |  | Gamalon
High Contrast
Completely unlocked the entire late 80's easy listening/prog rock(?) genre for me. |
| 6 |  | Pantera
Cowboys From Hell
I remember Cemetery Gates being the first song I tried learning on the drums at age 7, and then you showed me how it was done. It's only fair that I got to play it for you at your wake. What a moment it was. My favorite song ever. |
| 7 |  | Audioslave
Audioslave
Cochise was the first song you ever got to hear me play live. Unforgettable. |
| 8 |  | Trivium
The Crusade
They were never quite your jam, but this was the first album you ever bought me and the first show you ever took me to. I remember you shoving me in front of the line to get material signed. |
| 9 |  | Evergrey
The Inner Circle
I remember the exact moment: We were going through your massive collection of CDs and you handed a random CD to me asking if I wanted to check these guys out. You had never even listened to it before and apparently didn't really care to for whatever reason. Well, I took it in my room and listened to it and it quickly became one of my favorite albums with one of my favorite songs ever. |
| 10 |  | Led Zeppelin
Houses of the Holy
A favorite for the both of us. Nothing reminds me of you more. |
