Lol, well then, maybe one more time for the folks in the back of the room.

Picked up the new Alan Wake Remastered game for the PS4 recently and it reminded me of the great soundtrack the game has. I like that they added in a scene near the end where he pops the flare to drive off the shadow-men, just like in the game. Looking forward to playing through this again with all of the updated graphics, it was one of my all time favorites from the Xbox 360 era.

First time hearing of this group, thought it was pretty cool. I like the animations and movements of the four femmes in the front. Nice shout out to Halloween. The bullhorn used in This is Halloween (around the 38sec mark) is pretty cool.

Live performance from Sarah McLachlan from 2003; she's always been one of my top female vocalists. This song, and subsequently all of her songs from this album, always brings back memories from the late 90s and early 2ks, some of the best years of my young adult life.

I picked up Sarah's Surfacing album shorlty after it came out. Building a Mystery was just one of those tunes that went on repeat in my head...

A great example of don't judge a book by its cover.

Not a song, but definitely belongs in this thread. Dee Snider vs Congress, Sep 1985.
