One such group is Judas Priest. They are one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal, formed in 1969 and have been going strong since. My favorite song by Judas Priest is "You've got Another Thing Comin'" from their 1982 album, Screaming for Vengance.

Muiscal Gems - You've got Another Thing Comin'
One of my favorite genres of music is hard rock. Classic rock, punk, metal, power pop. I really enjoy the sound of heavy electric guitars and pounding drums!. I also love a good melody and there are actually some artists that can pull both of these off at the same time. I have an growing playlist on Spotify (userid: kerkphil) called "Best Heavy Music" that showcases some of my favorites.

A Brush with Death!
We had an intense storm front blow through the DC area yesterday afternoon and it knocked out the power in our neighborhood for about eight hours. It was tough, but as my Twitter feed shows, I am a survivor!

Power has been out in my section of Arlington for almost 3 hours now. I've slept for 2 1/2 of that, but it sure feels like the end of the world.

Daylight is slowly fading and I fear the mobs with torches will materialize soon.

Musical Gems - Gimme Your Money Please
BTS is the nickname of a K-pop band known in Korean as 방탄소년단 which translates roughly as "bulletproof youth group." My wife, who was born in Korea, is a big fan. But long before there was BTS, there was BTO - Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
Bachman Turner Overdrive was founded in the early seventies. Randy Bachman left the highly successful Canadian group, The Guess Who, in 1970. He formed a new group, Brave Belt in 1971 with his brother Robbie and Chad Allen, a former bandmate from the Guess Who. C. F. Turner and Randy's brother, Tim, joined the group after the first album. Turner took over the lead vocals from Allen who left the group. Brave Belt issued two albums and changed their name to Bachman-Turner Overdrive for the third album. The group's name came from the two surnames in the group, Bachman (Randy, Robbi, and Tim) and Turner; and from the name of a trucking magazine they saw in the Colonial Steak House in Windsor, Ontario.
BTO's first album was the eponymous Bachman-Turner Overdrive. And the first track on that album was a song called, "Gimme Your Money Please."
