This has been an odd week for me. I've been caught up in so many other projects that it's been hard to keep up with regular posting here on Hive. You might have noticed that on Tuesday instead of publishing my regular Three Tune Tuesday I ended up posting a Splinterlands post. It's just the way things worked out this week, but I haven't forgotten about the Tuesday event so I'll be publishing it a couple of days late this week.
For those of you who have been to Cleveland, Ohio you most likely have visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. That really is the biggest attraction in the city to be honest... Today the organization announced their nominees for induction into the class of 2026. To qualify an artist must have had 25 years pass since their debut album that meets certain sales criteria. This year they have nominated: Shakira, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Mariah Carey, Sade, The Black Crowes, P!NK, INXS, Melissa Ethridge, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Lauren Hill, Luther Vandross, Wu-Tang Clan, and New Edition.
Today I decided to pick a few of my favorites from the list for my post for this TTT, posted two days late!
But first off I want to say thank you to @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this fun weekly event where you can share three songs that you enjoy. One lucky participant will win some HSBI units, you can't have too many of those! So if you don't already participate feel free to jump in, just use the tag #ttt or #threetunetuesday and it's never a bad idea to do a shoutout to @ablaze .
Billy Idol
This English rock n' roll legend started his career in the London punk scene as lead singer of the band Generation X. Then in 1982 he released his debut solo album which was a big commercial success. He followed that up with Rebel Yell in 1983 and then throughout the decade kept pumping out the hits.
Today I chose one of my favorites from his catalog: "Rebel Yell":
Shakira
Alright, I'll be the first to admit that I do share a lot of her music and she is one of my favorite artists from Latin America. In 1995 she first hit it big with her album Pies Delcalzos (Bare Feet), but in 2001 released her first English album Laundry Service which made her an international star. But before she became the blonde bombshell, she started out as a very pretty brunette from Colombia.
This song is called "Ojos Asi" (Eyes Like Yours):
Iron Maiden
And I couldn't resist slipping in some true metal legends, the metal gods of Iron Maiden. Fronted by Bruce Dickinson this heavy metal band formed in London in 1975. In 1980 they released their debut self titled album which became an instant success. They continued with the hits throughout most of the 80's! Today I chose to share a live version of a great song: "The Trooper"
That will do it for this Three Tune Tuesday posted a couple of day late. At least this way I got to see the Hall of Fame nominees before assembling it! I do have my personal favorites from the list that I would love to see inducted this year, obviously the three above and a few others. We'll find out in April who makes this year's cut.
Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below, and thanks for all of your support. I really do greatly appreciate it. Have a great day everyone!
