Of course, they don't have to be obscure and overlooked songs and groups like some of the ones I've been posting, it can include very popular groups, very popular songs, any one you feel needs "spotlighting."
Here is a very successful group and a very popular song, but I just LOVE the "exotic" quality in that first melody line from the guitar there, simple but brilliant!
So often good songs are written when someone in the group comes up with a "groove," ya' know what I mean, a nice little loop of notes strung together in a fascinating and often fun way to play.
And everyone kind of plays into this groove, this fascinating bit of melody and adds their bits and they produce a finished product.
Most groups that write their own stuff seem to work this way.
I used to listen to heavy metal back in the early and mid-70s, the good stuff before "big hair" 80s metal...
And the 80s were very much a musical desert for me as far as heavy music goes, THAT stuff, ^ quality grunge got me back into playing music and showed me that "artistry" in the heavy genre was not necessarily dead.
Thx
