"Hey, just out of curiosity, who's your favorite child?"

Oof. Hmm. Well, going by "spotify; your year in review" my most listened artist of 2023 was Iron Maiden so, I guess Maiden? So, my favorite performance by Maiden... Who's my favorite grandchild? Argh. @morelikeasong , this is too hard!
Fuck it, let's just pick one.

There's a reason Bruce is nicknamed the Air Raid Siren. He can bellow his heart and soul out like no other. While other singers may have a broader range, higher notes, darker growls, Bruce puts them all to shame.

Their En Vivo concert was Bruce at his best. His rendition of The Talisman is legendary, unbeatable, the epitome of live metal. If you're not a fan of Maiden and don't want to sit through an 8 minute epic, then just listen from 5:25 as Bruce hits the chorus.

Chills.
Fucking chills.

I love the Rock in Rio performances, especially Fear of the Dark. Hearing and seeing that massive crowd is awesome.
 
Day 1: A song about friendship

Be there for the lonely ones, for the sad ones.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - My Friends



Day 2: A song that reminds you of yourself

In trying to find myself, I too wanted to set the world on fire.

Against Me! - I Was a Teenage Anarchist



Day 3: A song by an artist no longer living

The Prodigy - Firestarter



Day 4: A song by your favorite artist

This is a tough one. I donโ€™t know that I truly have a favourite. Music enters your life in particular moments, and sometimes they end up staying there, in that moment. But Tool has been along for the ride for a great part of my life.

Tool - Sober

I'm going to have to check out Against Me.

Prodigy and Tool are always solid picks!

I have a somewhat unusual name and this song resonates!!

I love Against Me! They don't get the attention they deserve.

I am in the minority. I appreciate Tool far more than I like Tool. But "Sober" is one I like. The Prodigy is always a solid choice. Flint's death was such a blow. And I love The Peppers, but I tend to love the earlier stuff more. Pre-Rick Rubin.
