This Week's Playlist #14 - Famous bands I started to listen to at the age of 40
Week #14 - Famous bands I started to listen to at the age of 40
TL;DR: I'm running a weekly newsletter with 5 songs and a short description of it, and a matching Spotify playlist if you want to subscribe.
For the non-Spotify readers, there is a Youtube link for each of the songs on the cover.
Another week and another homage. The drummer of one of the greatest rock bands died last month.
I got told off by some people here for not making a Foo Fighters special. The thing is, I weirdly really don’t know that much about this band (for a reason I really can’t explain, being a teenager during the grunge and 90s US alternative rock era). The least I could do is at least to start listening to them now :-)
So here is my tribute to Taylor Hawkins for this week: digging through 5 major bands I never took the time to listen to and some of their famous albums and pick up my favorite song. I won’t be very talkative this time, as I have listened to the records for the first time this week.
I might have missed some gems. Hit reply and let me know.

Until the next time, Godspeed!
Thomas
