So you actually listen and give your rating on all of them? Well don’t mind me bundling all the songs I’ve definitely plugged on here before and a few more for your enjoyment.
[details = “The Dream Theater Drop”]
The intro on this one is heavenly (pun intended)
This one got me into them in the first place, still a fun one to come back to
Incredibly fun song, but also very beatiful
I used to think this one was overhyped, but boy was I wrong
A newer one where they exoerimented with an 8 string guitar and you had to know it from the very start, goes hard and I’m a sucker for the whole “you have awakened a great power long thought gone” trope which it sort of embodies
Simply listen to this one, it’s great
An interesting story told through a song, also sounds great
Makes you feel like you’re being pushed to your limit climbing a mountain and finding the meaning of life in the process, which is personally relatable
Saved the greatest (literally, it’s the longest and thus biggest one) for last, I hope you’re ready for a rollercoaster; if so, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride in its entirety (no skipping around or giving up midway through!)

Not much comments for these guys, their songs are a different sound and feel than the previous ones and amazing in unique ways, listen to these and hear for yourself

[details = “The Buckethead Beginners Bundle”]
The man of a hundred albums, litteraly. I’m not sure of the exact number, but I believe it is somewhere above 300.
With so much material you can find a variety of different sounds throughout his works.
Most people first find BH through one of these two, I personally heard Soothsayer first and Whitewash some while later
Definitely has the vibe that it will put you to sleep, but it’s certainly not boring
This one is simply cool, it has some weird part at the end, but you can just skip it
Another more widely known one, I believe it appeared in one of the older guitar hero games or another similar game I’m just a bit too young to know much about.
There were a few others I wanted to put here but I couldn’t find them on youtube at all, oh well…

[details = “The Steve Vai Special”]
Nothing much to say about these, it’s Steve and this is kinda how he makes his songs

[details = “The Wildcards”]
A couple more I couldn’t group by author or genre
The pink and green album cover is about how it feels to listen to this one, if that makes the least bit of sense
This one is just crazy and I kinda love it for that
The one song I like that for some reason isn’t on Deezer, but other Polyphia and Jason Richardson songs are, as to why exactly - it’s beyond me
Old but gold, the most interesting part - the guy who made it was younger than I am now when he recorded this
The song that led me on the journey of discovering all of the ones mentioned here, the live version is the way to go with this one
Somewhat of a change of pace compared to the others, but the live version is preferable here as well
Possibly the craziest of them all, the “live” version, which is from some instructional DVD from the 80s I think, is even crazier than the original so seeing a human not only play something like this but go even further beyond with flexing on top of it is a sight to behold in adittion to the music

Too bad, I already made the list before seeing this, so I’m posting it anyway
